Jack Herer x Ruderalis
Day 1 Sprout on Sept 16, 2019 @ about 8-9 pm- Canuk Seeds - Jack Herer Fem Autoflower
September 13th at 6:30 pm: Planted in a 5 Gallon pot that was previously flushed, loaded with Gaia Green slow release nutrients and soaked down with a PH of 6.51. The pot has many fine roots remaining in it from my Amnesia XXL grow. I filtered through and took out a lot of the larger roots, while I tilled the soils with a fork and my hands until the coco medium was fluffy again. Lighting is a Phlizon 1000w LED/245 watt power draw, including 2 cob lights. It sits at about 25" from soil.
During my "First Grow" of Amnesia XXL I had kept my lighting really low from the start. I wanted a shorter plant that allowed light access across the canopy tops and less popcorn bud. With this grow, I am going to keep the lights higher up until I see how she's taking off in height. I would rather she does not reach more than 20" ...for a few reasons. Another thing I'm going to do differently this grow.... In my Amnesia XXL grow, I played with her watering PH values during her first two weeks of germination and vegetation. I watered her at values of PH 5.8X-6.1, trying to bring the PH of the medium down. In my reading, plants are able to uptake nutrients at different PH levels. With this grow - I will be watering her in a PH range of 6.6 to 6.1 from start to finish.
Oct 3, 2019: Watering around the plant (not the whole pot) with 1/2 a liter every 2 days and once this week a little more than half a liter. For the past few days I had just the vegetation light on. From seed, I started her with both veg and bloom lights on. Last night I switched back to both lights.
Defoliated 5 of the larger leaves to promote light penetration.
Watering with approximately 1 liter every 1.5 to 2 days.
October 8, 2019: Day 23 - Defoliated 3 leaves and applied LST.
Oct 14, 2019: Day 28 - Noticed the start of preflower stage.
Frequent LST and defoliation this week
October 19/Day 33: Topped with a cup of worm castings, 5 tablespoons of Gaia Green 2-8-4 and 5 tablespoons of 4-4-4. Watered with 2 liters at a PH of 6.57.
Nov 1/Day 46 at 1am: Watered with 3L at a PH of 6.52. Increased watering to flush. Defoliated heavily, removing about 25 leaves and a few smaller stalk
Nov 4/Day 49: Top dressed with 16 tbsp of Gaia Green 2-8-4 and 5 tbsp of 4-4-4. Watered with 4 Liters at a PH of 6.61
Continuing to Water every other day at a PH of 6.59-6.5, after a fresh topping of Gaia Green slow release nutrients at the end of week 7.
Nov 10/Day 57: Highest tops are at 15"
I'm very pleased with this strain. It's a light buzz in terms of little side effects when coming off. Though, Jack Herer packs a nice heavy cerebral, slightly racy punch, without the heavy eyes, head and brain fog. I am enjoying! :) Builds enthusiasm, causes creativity, happiness, energy.. etc
Scale shows 77.1 grams. I smoked over 2 grams before dried.
