This pheno grew perfectly for me, short and squat, easy to maintain flat canopy with SUPER short internodes. Nice colas with dense buds and super frosty sugar leaves. She was always happy with jacks 321, routinely went weeks during flower between res changes with very little pH drift, could have gone longer if I wanted. She didn't even complain when I had WAY too much P in solution after changing the light schedule. The only mistake that phased her was going overboard on the lights and giving her a nasty sunburn. F me if this plant wasn't the stickiest I've ever seen. All in all, such pleasure to grow. She got quite stanky in flower and the buds still pack a big punch of smell. It isn't really my thing, too pungent and I get this kind of epoxy hardener smell that overpowers what could be some nice piney lemon, but so far I'm the only one who thinks that. Smokes great either way, nice clean taste not like the smell at all, It's not a narcotic high but also not super active sativa-esk, not bad for an active evening but it does give me some brain bubbles. Packs a THC punch for sure.

For the price? Flawless. Dimmer is a must-have for me and this one still turns buttery smooth. Tested with a kill-a-watt and current draw and dimmer percentages are just about spot on. Spectrum must be fine because one plant grew super tall and lanky with long internodes, the other grew the exact opposite and stacked nodes on nodes. First 3 plants ever got essentially 1g/watt despite countless newbie mistakes. Highly recommended.

I'm almost sad she's done, this pheno was such a pleasure to grow. Took longer than expected to finish but that's probably on me. Quite happy with the end results, smokes fantastic and kicks my ass without gluing me to the couch. Although, pretty sure if I sat on some of these buds I would get stuck from the resin. Through the run I stayed pretty mild with the light dial. Could keep it real close in due to the super flat canopy. The one time I cranked it up I gave her some serious sun burn in a week so I'd venture to say I averaged ~125watts from the wall over her life. Dried flower for this plant = 120.7g. 30.4g of sticky ass trim, 2g scissor/trim hash. A little less than I was expecting before harvest, but I am quite happy with it given how many mistakes I made and how low maintenance she was. I am packing up the tent for a while but will still be checking out other diaries, feel free to leave a comment or message me if you have any questions.

Grow Questions

Absurdstarted grow question 3 years ago
This plump lil flower growing on a fan leaf is getting picked off and smoked when I see the first amber trichs, should I put it directly in a small jar with a 2way humidity pack? Trichomes seem to be aging faster than on normal inflorescence, touch slower than the ones on fans.

Thanks everyone! Week 4 is looking good, got high hopes for this lady.

Looking nice, I thought I was looking at one of my own grows! You did the right thing by not panicking at a bit of older leaf die off, also I think the early topping is the smart move for a healthy plant. She'll always tend to be more bushy and stocky in hydro, but you get a better branch structure by topping at the third node.

@Freddd, agreed on the bullshit in the community, you want to have a 2400% markup from ingredients just start a cannabis nutrient line with a stupid name. Do people really think that first shot looks better? I do see shots like that too but figure they just didn't care when they took it, can't make out any detail because the highlights are all blown out from the undiffused flash on the trichs.
Freddd
Fredddcommented3 years ago
@Absurd, also there is much bullshitting going on in the weed community, done through photos. For example I have just uploaded to more photos to Lemon Pie, take a look at the last two, the final shot show 3 pretty nice looking colas, but the shot before them is the same colas shot at the same time. One is shot on my new iPhone with standard lens and colour correction done with Camera M, and the other is shot on a D70 with a moderate tele and auto flash. The ones shot with the flash look completely and totally different, they look way more packed, but it's all an optical illusion the correct shot is the one on the iPhone, but if I had to put them bot up in a cola competition I'd use the shot that is less accurate but looks way better.

@Freddd, as far as I understand you got it right, all you want are the gland heads, not even the stalks, so the whole goal for the best hash would be as little friction as possible of the plant matter so it doesn't break into pieces small enough to fit through the final filtering screen. Frenchy goes on about letting almost all of the ice melt so there's just a tiny bit left to hammer the plant when he turns on the washer to agitate. That's why I freaked out at first at that dry ice video because it looked like he was really going at it with super dry crumbly plant, thought it was going to turn into the kief I get out of my grinder. That said, I agree his results look WAY good enough to justify saving a shit ton of time and effort doing the cold water Frenchy method. 500% more work to get that extra last 5% of quality kinda thing ๐Ÿ˜„

@Absurd, ikr the conditions hella different and whole different strains. ๐Ÿ˜… But the thing was its nice to compare someone elses proggy to your own which is basicly at the same stage - at least close to each other. Even tho yours probs going to mature faster cuz u growing in hydro. Anyway both on early stage/pre-flowering stage right now which is IMO the most interesting part. You start to get the picture what kind of ladies u pull out ๐Ÿ˜Ž

@Verbalist, Thank you! I've been doing the same thing looking at all the other black jack and hydro grows. I guess just keep in mind we're growing different genetics in 100% different conditions ๐Ÿ˜› You got some real nice growth with that veg light in soil, one of these days I need to try some northern lights, hear nothing but good things. Hoping for continued good health to all our ladies! ๐Ÿ‘Š

@ManicMiner, thank you so much! Have to give most of the credit to genetics though. This pheno grew just right for training in a bubbler bucket without trellising, see my other plant for a horror show of training ๐Ÿ˜† Ooof, I'm chopping today so counting from 12/12 I'm at the end of week 13 of flower and it's only ~80-90% cloudy ๐Ÿ˜‘ think sweet seeds says 9 weeks on this one.

Coming along well, a bit of leaf stress is not a big deal at the top. I agree in turning the lights down, or even better putting them further away if possible instead. I am finding an improvement since I've raised my pH, used to keep it around 5.7 to 6, but now I'm in the range of 6-6.2
Freddd
Fredddcommented3 years ago
@Absurd, yes, both my seedsman and seedsman#2 grows have been getting an average higher pH, I too hesitated for ages, I've heard some rational explanation why it's 6.5 in soil but 5.8 in hydro, but while 5.8 won't harm them, neither will 6.3 and higher is better if it doesn't harm the plant, and it doesn't. With the light, I go by my cheap lux meter now. 50k LUX for flowering is fine, and also on both my grows I have kept the lights at a decent distance, especially so with the QB96 because it's 185W and compact, with a flat panel light 14" would be fine.
Absurd
Absurdcommented3 years ago
@Freddd, ~33cm high seems to be nice even canopy coverage (~ 60cm x 50cm) with these panels, I know they pump more spicy photons in the direct center but seems like a win if I can get similar dli to raising them, but with less electricity and heat. I keep thinking I want to try >pH 6 with these, my purple haze responded well to that late in flower, and now it would help me drop the P concentration which would be nice. Certainly worth a shot if this plant keeps getting that kind of necrosis, but that could have been a few other things. Are you seeing improvement on all your plants? or was that how you finished the lemon pie?
