Day 112 from seed for BlackJack. Nine weeks of flowering complete, this was my original projection. I am actually surprised! I absolutely flushed this plant a few times, repeatedly flooded my basement (a perk of having an unfinished basement, or a necessity for a drain in other environments), and it has started to clear the nutrients. The fan leaves are starting to fade and show deficiency. Noticeable swell the last couple weeks. Yes, it looks like veggy crap, but it could have been much worse. There is vapable product here, and I am excited to try it. There are mixes of sweet, black licorice, fuel, it mixes with my tent on whole, its cannabis! I’ll get more honed in on smells and taste when I harvest.
I debated the harvest window all week, on this site, and amongst my friends. I rechecked Nirvana’s website and BlackJack is projected as 8-9 weeks, I made a mistake and forgot that I projected the back window. The top bud certainly looks like its near degrading. Considering the gains, the nice appearance at the moment, and my error already being at the back of the projected window ... eff extending for more weeks, lets rock this. I’m going to give it the dark before harvest and the major flush tonight.
My observations are for how badly I misjudged my amendment, full on killing another flowering plant and turning it purple, BlackJack must be good genetics because it was able to survive and push out some bud at the very end.
