2 Seeds were soaked then germinated on a paper towel. At 1cm root growth, I carefully placed the rootlings into Jiffy Pots, filled with Jiffy Seed Starter (coco, peat & perlite), blended with work casings and bone meal. Plants were transfered to an earthbox on day 7. Earthbox is the same soil blend as I used to start them. Jiffy pots were wetted, then I carefully peeled each pot away from the rootball and placed them into the earthbox. I make a ring around the plants using the bits of jiffypot that I peeled away. This is where I will water the plants. Pouring water over the remnants of fiber pots will defuse it and help it to fall in an area around the roots.
Lighting is one 600w (80w actual)wakyme LED per earthbox (2 plants). There are two small clip on fans moving air above the lights.
Started LST on first 2 sets of branches on day 18. I just lay wood skewers over the new branch when it is only about .5cm long. The weight of the skewer helps hold the branch down and away from the main branch.
On the 19th, I pinched the new growth off to force main stem branching after the 5the set of true leaves appeared. They look fantastic!

Planning to switch lighting to 12/12 in about a week. Doing a side by side comparison of one LST to one natural growth. I selected the larger plant for LST.

Entering the stretch. Had a brief issue with fungus gnats, treated using a soil drench of 1:4 peroxide:water.
Using a little ozone generator in the grow area to help with the anticipated increase in odor as we move into the bloom phase.

Growth is thick enough now that the bottom most leaves are beginning to die back. I always like to watch how this occurs to see if it gives me any hints as to nutrition as well. I take them away as soon as they are about 50% dead/no long efficent. Both plants are healthy. I’ve got the one on the left tied to encourage a more open canopy beside normal growth on the right as an experiment. I’ve observed most of the dead lower leaves on the right side where the canopy is less open. I think that some mild training is beneficial for veg, waiting to see if it plays through to harvest. They look fantastic. I’m letting them tell me when they need water/nutes.

Started adding molasses to the water on day 56, end of week 4 of the 12/12 light cycle. There are so many colas starting!! I’ve spread the girls out as much as I can to make light available all around. I’ve done a little
trimming to remove bushy fan leaves too. Didn’t lollipop as I know they need leaves to make use of the light, so I just tried to remove those leaves that are shading colas. 4 plants are now taking up ALL of a 3-1/2 foot by 5 foot grow space, as I have them tied down to
spread and restrict overall height of the canopy to about 20”
Noticed some browning on the very tips of the leaves today. so will be cutting the nutes back in future feedings. Will just water for a few days and decide if they need a full
flush or not. Starting to frost, it’s getting exciting!! I realize I’m just in the 5th week of flowering and that the blooms should start fattening up next week but I’m anxious about their size and it it is appropriate for their stage in the bloom. I’m smelling some real nice lemon coming off of them now.
This cultivar calls for between 50 and 70 days of flowering, so I’m watching trichomes and thinking we’re going to come in around 50-60 days. I see the trichomes starting to get milky and more than half of the pistils are beginning to turn orange and dry up. Stopping with the nutes and just giving her pH adjusted water for the remainder.
Seedsman says these go 50-70 days in flower depending on phenotype. They look to be indica, but don’t appear to be close to ready. No more nutes, just pH adjusted water from here on out.
These were the first online purchased beans I have tried. Back decades ago, I grew bagseed and traded some seeds.
I had three grows in three spots going at once, just trying to figure out if in the soil outside, on the patio in a pot, or in a grow room was my best bet in this climate. This indoor grow was way easier than I expected. I’ll be growing indoors in the future. I had an issue with fungus gnats early on, but other than worrying over the girls, gnats were the worst of my issues. A skunk odor was apparent early on, but that gave way to a spicy citrus, then a slight spicy note, maybe pine with a little green here.
For this grow, I ordered some cheapo blurple LED grow lights off amazon (had snagshout discount codes), and fabbed my own mylar enclosure using PVC, in a part of the house we aren’t using. It has it’s own 1/2 bath so I used the bath exhaust to remove some air, the AC, brought in new air.
These aren’t trimmed super tight because most of it will be infused. The buds selected for smoke will be trimmed again before they go into the cvault.
Nutes were basic garden center stuff. I didn’t hqve the $$ to invest in specialty nutes this round, and I wanted to demo that you don’t have to have a bunch of special/expensive stuff to jump in and get started. I’m glad I did!!! Wasn’t horrible with off the shelf garden center nutes. Yields weren’t off the charts, but you can bring in an ounce or two! Now I’m going to check out better indoor lighting options and get some fresh nutes and figure out what to have on hand so that I can stack up the really big buds for my next grow.
Tried the first sample smoke, 8 days after harvest. Taste was classic herb, smell was classic herb. Jack Herrer is the perfect name for this strain. It’s already a smooth, tasty smoke and a great high. Can’t imagine how much better it’ll get after cure.
Yield was lower than would be expected under optimal conditions. This was certainly suboptimal conditions. But! It was so easy to grow with nothing special. This is not a bad choice for someone’s first grow.
Next time, proper nutes and better grow lights!!
Sample smoke was excellent. Not really dry mouth, dry eyes or anything negative. Taste was so classic, smooth, not overwhelmingly anything but classic herb. High was a nice head high followed by a full body relaxation that hung on for a long time. No couch lock, no drowsiness.
looking very nice 👌
next you want to upgrade your light to non-blurple (quantum boards, COB's, etc.)
and you will be even more happy. Enjoy your journey
