This is my first posting in AFN so cut me some slack! LOL
As this jack Herer plant knocks on week 10s door, the trichomes refuse to degrade and flowers that have less light are keeping their pistils fresh and white as the tops turn brown/red. I'm at my usual 65% overall pistil change but the trichomes as shown still remain clear and not so bulbous. I'm so used to indica dominant photoperiod strains and this jack is slightly sativa and autoflower. That and this is my first Bubbleponics grow, so that and the autoflower together....I'm a noob and desperately in need of assistance!
Yes, as you can see, this plant has had two distinct issues half of its life. Everything was gravy until the preflower stretch, in one day(110°F outside weather during this time/89°Inside with 87%RH) this plant went from a foot in height to nearly 2.5 and shot up into the 150w Fullspectrum LED and got light/heat burn. Then after raising lights and getting temps in check, I flushed solution but totally forgot my cal-mag and for the next two weeks came out of a most likely Calcium deficiency as my RO system puts out 65ppm...thank you naturally nutrient rich well water!
I should have used a bit of tap water to buffer but it was so damn hot and I didn't want to do anything but lay in front of the AC!
Anyways, week 9.5 and I think because of the stresses it's gone through, it's got reduced yields big time and the maturation rate has been retarded. Done looked up everything I could find about this strain but 8 weeks flower time....? Yeah no!
My Virginia Gold Nicotiana plant companion plant has done wonders keeping bugs out but I constantly consider it's coco/soil medium and seriously want to go back to organic soil grows for my cannabis. Was this my first mistake, growing Jack Herer in DWC? And as much as I want to complain about how finicky this strain can be, i chew on my words because it's extremely resistant, period.
