BlackJack 2019 (I)

Day 45 from seed. *whew* This poor plant has been through alot at my hand. You can see I took many clones. After getting sprayed down for mites last week and any damage foliage removed, I repotted to one final pot this week. The roots were actually out the bottom holes in my last pot so that shows the vigor of BlackJack. This strain is growing as strong as my other bests. I want to get more detailed for the public so I’ll share the ratio in which I mix the soil in the big final pot in addition to just the ingredients. This is not exact at all, just slowly got to this rough estimate and happen to do it each time and adjust as needed. Totally random. 30parts soil:3-5 worm castings:3 sheep manure compost:1 blood and bone meal pellets:1 alfalfa meal compost:1 used dried coffee grounds:1 pulverized egg shells. I also add Myke Herbs and Vegetables microculture. The soil is HP Pro Mix, and I am still using up the bottom of the bag of VPW20. The difference between those two soils is particle size and the presence of mycorrhizae in the former. By pulverized egg shells I mean I eat alot of eggs and just rinse them, dry them, and throw them in a mortar and pestle until they are powder. This is the first plant where I want to sort of test two things. First, I want to test stretch more intentfully per strain by watching each in a fair trial. If I leave it growing as is, stretch amount is a bit more obvious. Also, I am sick of trimming under canopy. I usually use LST, and in the end the buds are so big I have to tie the plant just to stay upright and I waste the undercanopy anyway. If I give this plant 2-3 more weeks growing, how much yield would I get off of four or five top buds (as pictured)? Less, I can safely say, but how much less? I have a really good two tent rotation so yield is less an issue. So I won’t do any more training and in a couple weeks I will flower it and see. I have plenty more BlackJack seeds, and potential clones. Definitely a little strained with all the action and then an overload of nutrients, on much less nutrient demand post cloning. You can see the coloring differences, and the small twisted new growth. Just water coming up.
