----------------------------------------------------- ~SWEET SEEDS JACK 47 STRAIN DESCRIPTION~ ----------------------------------------------------- A 3rd generation Autoflowering strain, this hybrid is the result of a cross between an Autoflowering Jack Herer from the Sweet Seeds®️ R&D Department and our elite clone of AK 47. Probably the most potent Autoflowering strain available in the market. This is a very productive Autoflowering plant with abundant, compact and very resinous buds. The aromas and tastes of this strain are sweet, fresh, lemony and with hints of incense. Variety: Sweet Seeds Jack 47 Auto #SWS31 Indica: 20% Sativa: 76.9% Ruderalis: 3.1% THC: 18-21% CBD: 1.1% Indoor Yield: 450-600 g/m² Outdoor Yield: 50-200 g/plant Harvest Indoor / Outdoor: 9 weeks from germination Height: 50-120 cm Effects: Creativity, Psychoactive, Stimulating Taste: Citrus, Lemon, Incense, Cool, Sweet ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE SETUP: ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with de-chlorinated water with SuperThrive added then ph'd to 6.0 @ 80℉ ~Grown 100% organic in 10g fabric pots with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g of Down To Earth 4-4-4 / 2 cups/g of Earthworm Castings / 1tbs/g of Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1tbs/g of Dr. Earth Bat Guano, 3/4 cup of Down To Earth Azomite and 1 tsp/g Down To Earth Fish Bone Meal. ~24hr light cycle during Germination / 19/5 light cycle for Vegetation and 12/12 for Flower ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and weekly Compost Tea's. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ WEEKLY UPDATES: 7/26- Here we go into her fourth week and man oh man is she looking F I N E ! 😍 She's got great color and abundant new growth and I'm tucking shade leaves to get good light penetration through her canopy. This girl's shaping up to be one epic autoflower with the size, growth and overall health & vigor to back it up! I have both UnitFarm LED's fired up now (560w at the wall total) and have them hung @ 30" above canopy and she appears to be loving it! 😍💚 I went ahead and top dressed her today with 2 tbsp/g of Dr. Earth Premium Gold 4-4-4 and Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 in a 40/60 ratio respectively. I'll also add 2 tbsp each of Down to Earth Bat Guano and Bio-Fish, topping it all off with 1 cup of worm castings, after which I'll water it in with straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.2-6.5 @ 74℉. 7/28- Her growth and excellent health continue. She has great color and some really tight node spacing. I'm guessing that she's not going to be the tallest girl but, from past experience, there's no doubt she'll look phenomenal when all is said and done....We'll have to wait and see! I'm watering her from the bottom, pouring her water into her drip tray under her 4g pot, allowing her to draw the water up into the medium. I like this method for a couple of reasons... First, it keeps shit simple and second, it keeps the top 1/2" of medium dry which just about eliminates any worries of Fungus Gnats (I can't stand those little bastardo's). She recieved 0.5g of de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ added then ph'd to 6.2 @ 74℉ which I then poured into her drip pan. Within 5 minutes the 0.5 was all absorbed...perfect! 7/30- This JACK47XL from Sweet Seeds is on a roll! She's got abundant growth, albeit not the tallest plant, great color and is looking like she's starting to stretch out now. Curious to see how long she goes before starting to flower as that will determine how big she actually gets. She's getting watered every other day now with 0.5g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉. I'm alternating the way I water, between pouring it into her drip pan and letting her draw it up into her pot, and from the top with the goal being to keep her medium moist but not wet. This will provide the ideal environment for all the beneficial mycorrhiza and bacteria which are feeding her! 8/1- Well Week Five is in the rear view mirror and it looks like my girl may be starting to flower! Her color remains fantastic along with her health! I'm continuing to water her daily with 0.5g of de-chlorinated water that is ph'd to 6.3-6.5 @ 74℉ I'm also looking her over throughout the day, tucking shade leaves out of the way of flower sites to ensure that they get plenty of light. I have refrained from removing any shade leaves or topping her to avoid causing any undue stress to her. The only training she's recieved is some LST which continues as well. Today I went ahead and gave her some Compost Tea that I began brewing 72hrs. ago to give the microbial colony a 'Happy Hour' on the house! ~Thanks for stopping in! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~

Hi buddies im back to the diary Everything is going well, the girls drink a lot 3 to 5 liters of feed per day, the Ph and EC remain stable. I see new roots and buds continue to bloom💣 so I think they are fine and healthy. Sensi Seeds indicates Skunk#1 with 8 weeks flowering now i am at the beginning of week 7 bloom but I still don't see milky or amber trichomes and not even so many brown pistils, so i will repeat the week 5 feed as AN advice... maybe from the next one I'll start with overdrive .. who knows? 😁 I made some macro videos of the trichomes, in the next few days I will update the diary with photos. Thanks for the answers and advices to the grow questions, I know you don't do it for the free seeds, its only love 💚😜 love you too buddies as usual thanks for stopping by and good growth everyone !! Update: I need a tripod to take better macro shoots. Sorry for low quality pics

12.08. Sour Diesel Day 72# Day Flowering 55# 06.08. SD2# harvested,trimmed,dried and almost smoked lol The caterpillar destroyed it and I had to take it off so that everything wouldn't go to waste. 10.08. 5 more plants were harvested,trimmed and left to dry, all mature, some more, some less, but I didn't want to risk any more so that the caterpillars wouldn't destroy them, one of these 5 had already started. 2 plants left on site, need 7+ more days. The day before yesterday was the end of their 10th week. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

Plants look,smell, and feel amazing. I think they've put on most of their weight now and the buds are starting to get really cloudy! I started the slightly older plant in the front on her flush at the end of this week. I believe the one in the back seems to be a week or 2 behind.

Inhale for 13s, Exhale for 13s, Inhale for 8s, Exhale for 8s, Inhale for 5s, Exhale for 5s, Inhale for 3s, Exhale for 3s, Inhale for 1s, Exhale for 1s, Alignment. 1.618 More energy, more blueprint. A plant with both standard cellular respiration (occurring throughout the plant, including leaves and stems) and adequate root respiration will have a significantly higher ATP throughput than one restricted to only general cellular respiration in a limited way. Cellular respiration is the fundamental metabolic process that occurs in all living plant cells (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds) to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP). It requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Root respiration is not a separate type of respiration, but rather a specific instance of cellular respiration occurring in the roots. Roots absorb oxygen from the air spaces in the soil to fuel their energy needs. Roots require a substantial amount of ATP for essential functions like nutrient and water absorption, as well as growth and maintenance of their tissues. The primary form of respiration in healthy plant roots is aerobic respiration, which is highly efficient, yielding up to 30-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Anaerobic Respiration (Inefficient): If roots are deprived of oxygen (e.g., in waterlogged soil), they switch to anaerobic respiration, which is far less efficient, producing only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule and also generating alcohol, which can be toxic and kill the plant. Therefore, a plant with healthy, oxygenated roots performing efficient aerobic respiration in addition to the rest of the plant's cellular respiration has a much greater overall ATP production and energy capacity. A soil without organic matter will generally have a low Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). Biochar is often prized for its potential to increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC), but this effect is highly dependent on the specific properties of the biochar (feedstock and pyrolysis temperature) and the soil type to which it is applied. High-ash biochars, especially those produced at lower temperatures and applied to acidic or sandy soils, can significantly boost CEC by providing abundant binding sites for cations like calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), and potassium (K⁺). Biochar is more sustainable than typical organic matter for long-term soil improvement primarily due to its high stability and resistance to microbial decomposition, allowing it to persist in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This longevity provides a lasting positive effect on soil properties, particularly by increasing the cation exchange capacity (CEC) over time, while regular organic matter breaks down much faster. Biochar generally offers a much higher CEC than coco coir, though specific values vary greatly; while coco coir might sit around 40-60 cmol/kg, biochar can range from tens to over 200 cmol/kg, with sources like Acacia wood biochar or even coconut shell biochar often surpassing coco's capacity due to its porous structure, creating significantly more cation-binding sites for nutrients, making it superior for nutrient retention. Needs to be charged similar to coco but at a much higger rate. But shhhh.. It's a secret. Ancient biochar-rich soils in the Amazon basin (known as Terra Preta) provide evidence of carbon stability lasting over 500 to 2,000+ years. Recommend a balanced ratio of key cations, particularly calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). A widely accepted general "ideal soil" cation saturation ratio is approximately 65-85% Ca, 6-12% Mg, and 2-5% K. That's roughly what I give mine. Can even add N in its NH4+ form

Week 7 of Veg for these beautiful Apple Betty ladies! It was a stressful week for the girls but they made it❤️ Day 44 - I decided the girls had outgrown their 2 gallon nursery pots and were ready to move on. After a quick cleanup of the stems close to the base, they were ready to go. I like to keep my soil in a Rubbermaid bin, either with a fan lightly blowing, or the exhaust line from my tent blowing at it. Since I started doing this, I have not had any gnats or pests in my grows, of course with regular cleanings and IPM…my mix is Promix HP with about 20% worm castings added to it. This time around, I decided to use some Dynomyco to increase the mycorrhiza count of my Promix HP. This will increase root development by adding all kinds of interconnected webbing and allow for better uptake of nutrients overall. Within an hour or so all of the ladies were transplanted ❤️ x2 in 7 gallon fabric pots, and 1 in a 5 gallon fabric pot ( the 5 gallon will finish in my 2x4 tent) Once the girls bounce back and take hold of their new forever pot, I will be setting up my custom “floating” SCROG net and allowing them some time to get bent and tucked all nice snug before I flip to a flower schedule. Happy Gardening ❤️🇨🇦🌱😎

They are 45 and 50 cm Both of them look pretty, each one is different from the other but they are beautiful 😍 Taller still being fat, her leaves are turning darker and i like it. The smaller have more branches, so i think in the end they both will yield about the same, or maybe smaller yields more. Let's see. Both plants don't look like other diaries i've been following 😯 They have a strong fruity sweet smell, But not as strong as PE. Watered yesterday with nutrients, i'm not sure if keep feeding them or not. I guess if i give them one more week (maybe cut them on feb 11) their colas may gain some weight, specially lower buds. Added a video of each plant, i hope you enjoy 😺

Hi Growmies, As we reach the tenth week of nurturing our Epic Buzz, the plant's journey through the flowering stage is showcasing the dynamic nature of cultivation. In recent days, the Epic Buzz has hit a significant milestone, completing its vertical stretch—a clear sign that the energy will now be redirected towards budding along the colas. The structure of the plant, with its statuesque colas reaching upwards, is now set, creating an elegant scaffold for the buds that will soon start to form and elongate along these supportive spires. The Epic Buzz's voracious intake of water continues unabated, signaling a system in full swing, eager for the nutrients and hydration that will fuel the forthcoming bud development. This is a plant in its prime, with a root system so efficient and healthy that it brims out of its pot, a network of life that has become the engine for the lush foliage above. In observing the Epic Buzz, one cannot help but admire the visual harmony it presents. The symmetry of its growth, the healthy sheen on the fan leaves, and the promise of future blooms are a canvas of living art. The measured approach to topping and training earlier in its life has shaped a plant that is not just healthy but a delight to behold. I believe that with the stretching phase behind us, we can now look forward to the next phase where the buds will begin to form and stretch along the colas, promising an exciting period of development. The anticipation for the swelling and maturation of the buds is palpable, but for now, we focus on the promise that each new day of growth brings. This grow has been a labor of love, and as we transition from one growth phase to the next, my hopes for Epic Buzz continue to soar. I invite you to stay with me on this journey, as the coming weeks will bring the transformation we've been nurturing towards. Stay lifted, and keep an eye out for the next update, where we will witness the Epic Buzz begin to put on its floral display. Salokin

Both plants in flower and still showing great growth. I added a 20” Flower Power UV bulb @20”~ from the tops set for 30 minutes at the moment, I plan on raising it to 1hr total time over the next week as long as I don’t see leaf burn from it. Currently getting 1.5 gallons of water every 3rd day and alternating with fertilizer. I added a fan to draw more cool and less humid air in the tent and saw a nice drop in temp from 80 to 76~ during the day and 68 at night. Left plant is really compact but a shit ton of healthy bud sights are showing should be a great yield from it! Smells like sweet citrus when you first open the tent 😍 Till next time 😶‍🌫️🤟🏼

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

Well Well Well, So much to say, so little time to say it. Fist things first: we are now in a 8 x 8, which is a landmark upgrade in my path to learning all I can about cannabis. Larger growing space allows you to work freely, comfortably even. It was about time and long overdue. Within 48 hours from being moved to the 8x8 each and every plant started to grow exponentially: I must admit, I think this tangy was a goner. I didn't touch her and fed her normally with little more run off. She surprised me when I saw her getting twice bigger in a week. I think we are gearing up to flower at this stage, so I will give her as much room and light as she can get. I am heavily into LST as I plan to maximise all those potential bud sites. She is showing vigor and will likely surprise us all. Unlike all previous times with tangy, I am not detecting any terms or lemolene from the stems as of yet. Now bathed in light by on all angles and with room to explode, I look forward to she how she does
