GrowkammerWetterau Setup: 60×60×200 cm tent • Mars Hydro TSW 2000 • BioBizz Light-Mix • 30 L pot Light cycle: 20 h on / 4 h off Nutrient line: BioBizz (Bio Grow, Bio Bloom, Top Max, Bio Heaven, Acti Vera, Cal-Mag, Fish Mix, Root Juice) Water: Tap water Ortenberg – medium hard (slightly adjusted with Cal-Mag and pH-Down) Strain: Jack Herer Auto Germination: around September 10–12, 2025 Current status: mid-November 2025 – flowering week 6 📸 Picture 1 – Freshly germinated, first look out of the Light-Mix 🌱 Week 1 – Germination & root start The seeds went into slightly moistened BioBizz Light-Mix around September 10. After about 36 hours, the first tips appeared. I watered directly with Root Juice (2 ml/L) and a bit of Acti Vera (1 ml/L). Light from the Mars Hydro TSW 2000 at about 40 cm distance, dimmed to 30%, on for 20 hours.

GrowkammerWetterau 🌿 Week 2–3 – Growth Phase 📸 Picture 2 – First real leaf pair, nice shade of green Starting from week 2, I added Fish Mix (1 ml/L) to boost growth. Also: Bio Heaven 2 ml/L and Acti Vera 1 ml/L. I watered very carefully (only when the pot felt light). The Jack Herer took off quickly – compact, strong growth, no signs of stress.

GrowkammerWetterau 🌿 Week 4–5 – Transition to Flowering 📸 Picture 3 – First pre-flowers visible, nice dense growth The first white hairs were visible – so it’s time for flowering! From now on, Bio Bloom 3 ml/L, Top Max 1 ml/L, Bio Grow 1 ml/L, Bio Heaven 2 ml/L, Acti Vera 1 ml/L, Cal-Mag 0.4 ml/L. The EC was around 1.5 mS, pH about 6.3–6.5. Light set to 80% power, distance 30 cm. I did a light LST – gently bent the main stem to the side to bring light to the side branches. Autos don’t like stress, so really gentle – worked great.

GrowkammerWetterau 🌼 Week 7 – Ripening Phase 📸 Picture 5 – Significantly more resin, slightly milky trichomes visible Nutrient dosage slightly reduced: • Bio Bloom 3 ml/L • Top Max 2 ml/L • Bio Heaven 3 ml/L • Cal-Mag 0.4 ml/L The upper leaves are slowly starting to lighten a bit – a sign that she’s thinking about the end. The smell is now more intense – spicy, resinous, classic Jack Herer. ⸻ 💧 Flush Phase & Harvest Outlook 📸 Picture 6 – Current Status (Mid-November 2025) Currently (flowering week 6–7), preparations for the flush phase are underway. Starting next week, it’ll be just pure water + 0.3 ml/L Cal-Mag for 1–2 watering sessions, then pure water until harvest. The trichomes are partly milky, partly clear – I’m aiming for the end of November for harvest.

GrowkammerWetterau By the way, I'm satisfied with the grow so far. I'm already looking forward to the classic.

GrowkammerWetterau 🌼 Week 8 – Final Stretch & Trichome Check The Jack Herer Auto is in the final stretch and is really showing its character. The buds have visibly bulked up, especially the main cola – a solid ~31 cm flower length with a total height of ~75 cm. The side branches are filling out nicely, no popcorn-like buds – there will definitely be weight coming. The light is still running 20 hours ON / 4 OFF, Mars Hydro TSW 2000 at a distance of 40 cm. The lady is handling it all well, no foxtailing at all. ⸻ 🔍 Trichomes – Current Analysis (With Macro Shots) Today, macro shots were taken again – and the result is clear: • Majority milky • Some clear • No / very little amber ➡️ Not ready for harvest yet. The plant is currently putting all its power into resin production – exactly the sweet spot before it gets really fat. The climate is perfect for the final phase – no risk of mold, no heat spikes. This week, there was just regular tap water, adjusted to pH. Fertilized with: • Bio Bloom • Top Max • Bio Heaven • ActiVera • Cal-Mag All according to the BioBizz schedule for the late flowering phase, with increasing bloom dosage and reduced grow supply. The plant is responding well – no over-fertilization, just typical autumn leaf discoloration in the lower area, while the buds continue to bulk up and harden.

GrowkammerWetterau 🌸 Week 10 This week we're continuing towards the goal. The buds have gotten noticeably thicker and are hardening up. The smell is now really intense, sweet-spicy, and sticks to your fingers immediately when you just lightly touch the buds. I watered again with tap water, pH adjusted. I continued to fertilize with: • Bio Bloom • Top Max • Bio Heaven • ActiVera • Cal-Mag No experiments – just keeping it as it is because the plant is responding well. No over-fertilization and no signs of stress, just the typical autumn yellow tones on the older leaves. This is exactly how it should look in the final phase. The climate is also perfect right now: 44% humidity, ~26.6°C, and the light distance is about 40 cm. This keeps the buds nice and dry on the surface, and there are no signs of fox-tailing or light stress. The trichomes are now heading towards the harvest window. When zooming in, you mainly see cloudy ones, a few clear ones are still there, and the first amber tips are already appearing – which means we're slowly heading into the home stretch. The plant looks overall finished, but not "given up" – more like it has pumped the last bit of power into the buds. The side buds are really catching up, not just the main cola. --- In short: I’ll let them run a bit longer and keep an eye on the trichomes. If they continue like this week, we’ll be heading towards the harvest window next.

Good luck on the final stretch... I'll also put the Jack H in the tent or on the balcony sometime.
