-SOAKING SEEDS STARTED AT 4:15PM on 4/2/22
All of them sank by the next day with a little stirring of the water - most of them were floating before I stirred the water then they sank & stayed underwater.
-PLANTING SEEDS STARTED AT 6PM on 4/3/22
Seedling Starter Soil:
1 Coco Coir Block (hydrated with 12cups aquarium water)
About 5 cups Vermiculite
4Tbsp Down To Earth Starter Nutrients
Mycorrhizal Fungi Spring Water - watering the hole with mycorrhizal before planting seed & then again after planted.
-AFTER THE FIRST SPROUT ON 4/5/22
Turned on seedling clip light to blue only, dimmest setting @ 20%. Keeping light on for 18/6 6am-12pm
- 4/6/22 INCREASED BLUE ONLY SEEDLING LIGHT TO 50%
It seems like they were slightly stretching for light **watch for light burn on cotyledon leaves**
-4/7/22 MORNING INCREASED BLUE ONLY SEEDLING LIGHT TO 100%
The plants are stretching even more I increased light to full 100%, it'll have to keep an eye on them & make sure they don't get light burnt or topple over from reaching
-4/7/22 AFTERNOON SWITCHED LIGHT TO GIIXER
The two tallest plant cotyledon started to droop to the side so I didn't want to take a risk continuing to try the clip light only on blue @ 100%. I have the Gixxer on only veg at a distance of 10" away from the tops of the cotyledon leaves. I also cracked the lid & put an oscillating fan on low just to give them a tiny bit of movement to strengthen their stems because they'll be tall and weaker with stretching.
*I tried using a new seedling light & it was a failure - they are now stretching due to that light. I switched back to my trusted seedling light & hoping they'll be back on track.*
I filled the nursery bags up with soil to the top to bury more of the stretched stem for stability. I moved the light up to 14 inches above canopy to prevent light burn, they're growing bigger everyday.
The true leaves are coming in nicely 🤗🌱
It's doing well & I can see small spots of mycorrhizal fungi on top of the soil so I know the roots must be loaded with them!
We have a runner. She's growing to the sun 🌞 can't wait to get her outside. The male I grew was extremely tall I'm going to keep her short and bushy, hopefully. One of my favorite daytime strains for an uplifting mood that I've had so far.
It's doing it's normal tall Jack Herer growing. Definitely have to start training soon, she'll be going outside but I want to keep her shorter almost bush like. We'll see how that goes with a tall girl?!
Growing healthy, tall like expected. I've been waiting over 2 years to replenish my JH flower, the last one I grew happened to be a huge male. I miss the bud & can't wait to have some back. It was a very nice mood boosting & pain relieving daytime strain for me. I hope the pheno I have rings true to this
Jack's one of the tallest plants out of all of them right now.
I topped and defoliated every plant. I'm trying to form them into canna-bushes. Hopefully I'm doing the correct training procedures to make them all grow that way both indoors and out.
It's a tall one already! I'll definitely have my hands full training this to keep it a canna-bush.
The last JH I grew was over 10½ft tall --cool seeing & standing next to a plant that size but it also screams to the neighborhood, weed over here 👉🌲
We've never had any issues where we live but I don't want to tempt anyone. Plus I won't need a ladder to maintain the plant, much easier.
I topped every bud site on every plant, both indoors & outdoors.
The plants are well adjusted to the outdoors, their roots are ready for some space! I'm trying my hand at a different training technique, we'll see how it turns out.
These plants are handling these crazy outdoor weather spikes pretty well. I put this new garden in so the soil is just okay, I'm still amending it and trying to dial in the pH.
It's been consistently hot and dry here but the plants show no heat stress. I've never grown in this area of the yard, it's shaded for a few hours middle of the day when sunlight is at it's brightest/hottest. So initially I was concerned of the lack of sunlight slowing growth a little bit it's been perfect for this summers weather.
They're starting to grow out more. Hopefully they'll start filling out soon. I'm second guessing the diameter of my homemade cages, hoping they'll be a support & training cage for when the plant is younger.
They're starting to fill out nicely. The support cages are doing a good job & the trellis' are starting to fill in nicely as well. Hopefully continued healthy growth with this consistent heat rolling through.
They are still growing healthy & finally starting to fill out the trellis' nicely, horizontally at least for now. Once flowering hits I'm hoping they'll finish filling out the trellis vertically with their stretching.
Showing their first signs of flowering. The stretch is well on the way & they have filled out the trellis' nicely. I am happy with the new techniques I've tried on these.
