Jack's Dream

ShivaShanti Jacks Dream week two. It may have gone directly into flowering. At this small size I cannot see for make certain. We will wait. Growing nicely even compared to my autos Jack's Dream is growing fast.

ShivaShanti Week 3. I still feel like Jack's Dream is going directly from seedling into flower. Not sure yet. Needs more time. Looking good. Started fertilizer TPS One Organic Veg-Flower fertilizer and I always feed SuperThrive once a week along with the TPS ferts. Outdoor. Tropical environment. Rain daily. High humidity. High heat. I believe the 12/12 photo period has changed slightly by one hour 11 light 13 dark as we approach what is like Fall time here in Florida.

ShivaShanti 4th week with Jacks Dream Photo. Had some insect damage on the lower leaves after a heavy rain storm. I needed to trim the first 3 sets of true leaves. Growing nicely. Its in a very small pot to keep it very small. Im not looking for a huge yield as this is only an experiment. I do not use cannabis and I am Growing simply for ornamental purposes. Any harvest will be given away after processing.

ShivaShanti Jacks Dream still chugging at the beginning of week 5. We can see some good growth. A very small pot, insect pressure, and heavy rains are limiting super explosive growth which is totally fine as this is still just an experimental grow. Will update when I see some change.

Really impressed with Jacks Dream ability to resist pests, extreme heat and humidity, heavy rain, and all without a hint of mold or mildew. Keeps chugging along in its tiny pot. Flowering should start any day now. At first I thought it went directly into flower after seedling but it did not. Had i started it to the 5th internode inside at 24 hours light and then stuck it outside at 11/13 it would have went immediately into flower. It just grew fast. Conditions are not optimized in the location its growing. During the nighttime there may be light leaks and its not completely naturally dark. Im interested in watching it flower. It should be pretty cool. Lets see if we can even get it to flower, considering the light leaks. The photoperiod is changing now but since I am in a tropical region the swing is only 2 or 3 hours either way. We are almost to the winter season. I can grow autoflowers all year long. During the winter I am interested in growing purple auto varietals with the chilly (for me) weather it should flower super purple! Lets keep an eye on Jacks Dream together.

ShivaShanti Jacks Dream, I decided to top since I have seen no signs of flowering yet. Lets see what happens. It was a lovely candidate for topping, healthy, strong, and vigorous growth. I have been feeding TPS one all around organic nutrients and SuperThrive everyday for two weeks now and I have seen zero signs of overfeeding or over watering. Jacks Dream has grown with a strong vigor. This varietal could easily grow 8-10ft plus tall if planted directly into the ground it could be a monster plant with many pounds of flower. Good thing I have it growing in only a ½ gallon pot. Totally just an experiment. Lets continue to watch this interesting plant bounce back from topping. Next week we should see two beautiful tops growing rapid and healthy. To be continued.

ShivaShanti Jacks Dream has finally showed white pistols, they're very tiny white pistols haha but they're present. Finally starting to flower. I hope to harvest Jacks Dream by Christmas. Hopefully flowering will go fast. If not, thats okay. I am growing this one for ornamental purposes and don't care if I even get a harvest. As you can see by the photos I have it growing in a very small pot. Probably 1/2 gal size, more tall than wide for a longer tap root. I was hoping the smaller pot would limit its size. And it did. So after topping its grown nicely and has bounced back fully. The size of the fan leaves are just amazing for such a small plant. Interesting experiment. Lets see what happens. Oh and this plant has also reacted to over fertilization and I have also stopped feeding for recovery to take hold. Edit: Recovery happened rapidly because I wasn't feeding heavy organics anyway. So I resumed feeding with Fox Farms Big Bloom Nutrients.

ShivaShanti Jacks Dream is starting its flower stretch. Since topping once. Jacks Dream has grown very nice twin tops. Surprisingly two of the lower branches have also caught up to the top colas. Now it will pretty much have two main colas and two secondary colas. Ive pruned all smaller branches and will allow the plant to focus all of its energy into these four branches. Jacks Dream would do great if allowed to grow to its full potential. Jacks Dream could easily grow into a monster plant outdoors. Obviously under optimal growing conditions. I haven't had any issues with this plant only a little fertilizer sensitivity. That was my fault. I am keeping the plant small on purpose. I do not use cannabis in any form so the size is not important to me. I am growing the plants for their beauty and I will process any flowers just for hobby sake. I enjoy the process of harvesting, drying, and getting the best cure on the flowers. Some people collect stamps. I enjoy plants haha.
