THC Bomb: day 16 in 12/12:
Watered today, no nutes needed. I found 2 more male plants and removed them from my grow. This leaves me with 11 definate females in my flower room. I swear I never had a plant that was so shy about showing her sex. All other strains that I have grown where much quicker and easier to sex. They all look good at this point. My tallest is around 2 ft. and they are starting to put out side shoots. 11 plants works out pretty good for my little 8 by 8 flower room. I think they will all get enough light without me having to trim them out much.

Stretched seedlings BIGTIME. Get that T5 or flr closer next time in the early stage.

I use HTG as well, had good luck with them. But 100 for a squirrel fan? Over at cheaphydroponics one can get a 6" maxfan that has 3 settings of 210/260/310 for 125, only 75 watts at max settings and a much lighter, reliable and longer lasting fan. Great room minus those ugly and noisy fans.

Instead of that bulb setup, a couple of 25-50 watt 2-4 foot T5 thin bulbs would work much better, you would definitely get more lumens than using those swirls. I have them all over my home, but not for my girls.

I'm leaving all these replies because my friend is in week 3 of flower with this strain(herbiesheadshop in UK) He had all feminized THC Bomb from Bomb Seeds so little need to worry about sex. This strain has very high THC level and yeilds on average 700g/m². One of the largest yielding plants that are considered short. Good Luck and forgive my criticisms.

Thanks for all the input, I appreciate it.
Wakebakeworksleep: I used the 'swirly' cfls because I happened to have the fixtures hanging around and didn't have the cash for t5 or t8. They seem to be doing ok for now. When it starts getting colder I will be swapping over to MH anyway for the extra heat they produce.
This morning I watered my ladies and added MaxSea to their diet, as well as cal-mag and molasas. They are all doing fairly well, although yesterday I had to spray for spider mites again, as 2 of my plants had them. I may have to go down to the hardware store and get more hot shot bug killers ( I swear by them, they do the job when nothing else seems to work).

THC Bomb Update:
I Trimmed the bottom branches on all the ladies and used the trimmings for clones. I didn't take clones earlier as I had no idea the sex of the plants. I know it takes longer to clone from plants that are in the flowering stage but I didn't want a whole bunch of clones that had to be thrown away due to being male. I'm not in any hurry anyway, as my next batch, White Rhrino, are popping up and rooting quite well. I just need a couple of good mothers for now. I'm wondering how THC-bomb would do for an outdoor grow? Anybody try it yet?
I'm starting to see side shoots producing flowers, which is good, as I didn't top trimm them and I don't really want just a big central stalk. From what I have been able to glean from my reasurch into this strain, it is supposed to be fairly bushy on its own, I hope so. This is actually the first time that I have not topped, trimmed or LST'd my plants. I just wanted to see what they do on their own without any modification of its original stature.
The tallest plants measure 36 inches and the shortest are around 24 inches. It appears that I have two separate phenos of this strain. A taller, more sativa looking plant and a shorter, and bushier pheno. More of the taller plants than the shorter.
The 3rd picture shows the smaller pheno, the first two pictures are of the taller pheno

THC Bomb: 3 1/2 weeks in 12/12:
Gave my ladies another neem oil treatment. I know I need to pay more attention to ph when I water, I've noticed that my bottom fan leaves are yellowing and browning on some of the plants. I tested the run off yesterday and it measured 7.0 when it should be lower.
The tallest of the batch is 43 inches and the shortest is around 36 inches. I've got 4 that are growing taller than the others, so it looks like I have 2 seperate phenos. A taller more sativa, and a shorter, more indica.
Its begining to look like I should have topped, or fimmed them, as upward growth is reaching my height limit. One plant grew 6 inches in as many days.
I watered and gave them a shot of tiger bloom, along with molasas and some cal/mag yesterday, and they are booming.
Lots of bud sites begining to show. I took pictures just to show them off.

THC-BOMB update, 5 weeks in flower:
Been very busy with these ladies, and with the White Rhino that I am starting from seed. I've been battling the dreaded spider mites again ( still). I sprayed again 2 days ago, literally drenching the plants with organoside ( not sure who makes it, recomended by my hydro store people). I could not find any live mites on the plants this morning, and the ladies seemed to come through the treatment without any ill affects.
I read an interesting post about making up your own spider mite killer using Jabenaro pepers. I made some up but haven't had the opertunity to try it out yet as I wanted to see how the Organoside works first.
Topped some of my White Rhino babies as well this morning, they are looking very well in there little dixie cups. I found that misting them once or twice a day with plain water makes them happy. Or seems to anyway.
Picts of the THC-Bomb:
The tallest is 52 inches in height and the shortest is 36 inches. They seemed to have completed there stretching, (I hope) and the bud sites are begining to fill out. I think I still have around 8 to 12 inches that they can still stretch before I run out of upward adjustment on my lamps. I definately should have topped, or fimmed them.
