What an epic plant. I trimmed almost all of it. My only regret is not lollipoping her. Probably could have chunked up the tops a little that way.
But whoa! Once or twice I got 6 oz from an auto, but damn. Just shy of 8 is cool with me.
Curing in some big jars with Bovida packs.
Thanks for all the encouragement and for just checking in. My next 3x3 grow is delayed by covid mail trickery. I am growing a couple ugly ducklings in the meantime.
@Chowswooster, congratulations on the harvest! She looks fantastic and from other Blackjack's I've had, your falvor profile is pretty spot on. Now go talk to Louis Dejoy and get your mail sorted out.
@Chowswooster, You'll be happy with the final yield no matter the weight. She turned out to be a really good looking plant. Good job on working those genetics.
@NeedsMoreFans, thanks so much. She's expansive and the buds are rock hard so I doubt they'll shrink much. But you're right, I would be pumped to have 50 grams of this dope.
I usually wait until there is about 25-50% amber trichs myself. At least 25% tho.
She looks like she could still go a week or so. Make sure to check them trichs twice or so in that time. I would see if you can flush those PPMs a bit lower if possible, might pull more purp.
Do you add a flushing agent? And do you gradually flush or do one large flush and finish with minimal feeding?
Lookin great!!! Killin it!
@JuicyBuds__BLM, hey thanks! I have never gotten the flush right. I have some flawless finish, but this time I have just been feeding 1 1/2 gallons ph'd distilled water. So there's about 1/3 gallon of runoff. I have been doing that 2 weeks now. Started at 1400 ppm runoff now down to 600, so I think I might nail it this time.
@Chowswooster, your Black Jack grow looks fantastic. I started looking at this on Week 5 and went back to week 1 to see how you got here. I'm not going to lie, I was like ๐ณ when I saw you top it on Week 2. However, it appears as though that worked out very well. How many auto strains have you done that to? It may be something I need to consider for future grows once I know what certain genetics can and can't handle.
@NeedsMoreFans, I have done this with at least 10 different auto strains. They all bounce back by week 4. Never had any Ill effect, just bushy plants. Thanks for the compliment, I am really looking forward to the back half of this grow.
Congratulations! ๐
A great harvest, with a super delicious appearance. ๐
Thank you very much for trusting our strains, and sharing your experience.

Sweet smokes!

@Sweet_Seeds, thank you very much. You guys earned that 10/10! Biggest plant/harvest I have ever managed and taste and smell are very awesome and unique. The YouTube guy I learned to grow from recommended you guys and now I always make room in my yearly seed order for Sweet Seeds. Gonna grow some Auto Cream Mandarin Xl later in the winter and I'm pumped!
Oooooooh now youve got me wanting to try this strain! Amazing looking lady!
Im also addicted to sniffing my ladies, specifically during LST. Its just so intoxicating!
@JuicyBuds__BLM, Thanks! When I'm not smelling her, I'm just sitting and basking in her glory. Got 2.5 and 3.5 oz from two 2 gallon plants last year. Was the first time I've seen a goo trail from my trimming scissors to the bud I was trimming.
Highly recommend BJA
@Chowswooster, thank's for the comment on my handle. And, LOL to the lurking comment. That is hilarious. ๐ You are doing a great job at showing that if you do things right and have a good set up you can have fantastic grows with 1 auto at a time.
@NeedsMoreFans, I may just be lucky and sprouted a bigger pheno, but it sure seems like I'm on to something. I was trying the last couple weeks to get an Amnesia Haze to sprout and failed twice. So I planted the last 3 I had just hoping for 1. All 3 sprouted in a couple days...๐ So next diary is three 2 gallon plants.
Thanks for sharing a new diary with one of our strains.
We hope you enjoy it :P
Once finished, with the final notes of the strains, you can ask us for more seeds to share another diary.
Sweet smokes!
