Jammy Dodgers Auto

Jammy dodgers from Mephisto seeds was hit and miss on the germination. Of 4 seeds started... one didn't germinate and one was a twisted mess of a stunted plant right from the get go. This plant and a new seed started seem to be OK. Got the idea for these genetics from Hiagan youtube channel. This seems to be a high producer for weight and high THC content.

The plant has finally started to take off. The plant has been pre-dosed with pyrethrin since other plants have shown spider mites. the plant should be moving into flower next week or the next.

Started flowering Week 6 but I was too lazy to document it. This is a week later and the buds are coming along nicely. This is a super short plant but it is putting on lots of buds on its 5 main growth nodes. I have the plant bent over sideways with LST to promote more even growth. I've been marginally sucessful. I've been fighting spider mites on this plant. I first found them week 6. I applyed pyrethrum, then three days later hit is with neem oil, and hit it again 3 days after that with more neem oil. Under the microscope I can still see some eggs so I will have to treat it again in a few days so I can break the breeding cycle. This summer has been supper hot and dry. I wonder if that is why the spider mites are having a field day in my veggy and cannabis garden

Week 8 and this plant is super short but the main cola is bulking up. The whole plant is very stocky. It has been grown outdoors since the beginning of July but I have started pulling it inside because of very high humidity outside. The Vancouver area always gets super humid as the seasons change from summer to fall. Will remain high until we start getting frost. Not a great environment for late stage budding. The plant is only 16 inches tall but since I still have at least 4 more weeks before she is ready.... I am expecting a few massive buds. In the picture (on the left) is a Jammy Dodger #2 that is 2 weeks behind the main plant. I'm growing the second to reverse with STS and self polinate. It has been growing in a grow tent for the past 2 weeks with a 17 hour light schedule. The extra hours of light has really made a difference in the size of the two plants. While the sun is far more intense than a grow light, there is no substitute for the extra hours in the light cycle.

This plant is very sensitive to nutrient and PH changes. I raised the PH to 6.4-6.5 because I was noticing some calcium deficiency on one of the leaves. I also changed the feeding shcehedule to 1/2 micro, 1/4 gro, and 1 1/2 bloom. There was an over night reaction with the lower leaves starting to yellow. I will go back to my original Mid bloom feed 1 micro, 1/2 gro, 1 1/2 bloom at 6.0 PH. It seems to be what the plant likes best at this stage.

This plant is short with only a few budding stocks but the buds are nice and big. Tricomes are 3/4 cloudy. I tried to snap some pictures of the tric's but I need 3 hands to hold the microscope, hold the plant steady, and then click the shot on my computer. It's picking up lots of purple coloring. Probably because of the cool fall nights 10-15c over night. She is stinky AF. I'm not really keen on the dwarf plant but I have anouther one that I am reversing for seeds. That one is a little more branchy with more bud sites but still packing on nice buds. I am hoping the seeds will produce better structure than this one.

Week 11 and I think we are almost done. Checked the tric and they are mostly cloudy and about 20% amber. I will be spending this week giver her a flush then it's time to chop it down. She went more purple than a purple variety that I am growing at the same time.

Had to take 3 inches off the top of the main cola due to bud rot starting. The bud is very dense so hard to air out. Has been 90%-95% humidity every night and the fall rains have set in. If I grow outside again I will be starting in June not July so they are finished beginning of Sept not beginning of Oct. The buds came out super dark purple and they are covered in sticky goodness. Time to chop it down.
