Indoor Jack Herer: First time grow

[Rapha El]

I can see you watering that for 100 days!

Great finish on Jack

Oh yeah gotta love Jack. I hung up the cuts in the top of the tent with some wire, that's working a treat.

Jack Junior Day 1: I tried to make a little time lapse animation of the new little Jack poking her head out the soil so here she is:

Oh yes it does

Jack Day 6: Little Jack junior is still sitting on auntie Baby's lap and getting some sun.

Jack Day 111: / Baby Day 83: Old Jack is now just getting water, every day 2 Liters of straight tap water. In a week I'm going to do the final chop and harvest the lower buds,including the seeds of the Jack x Baby experiment. I have already observed something interesting. The Seeds I have seen inside Jack are a really deep dark brown, Baby's seeds are much lighter and partially bespeckled. I have taken seeds every 3 to 4 days and will at the final harvest (in a week) line them up so you can see the development of a seed during the final two weeks. The way they change when ripening is quite nice to look at.

Somangos Day 65 / Ficus Year 12: Today I switched their positions again and took off some fan leaves that were directly obstructing the light to a bud site. When taking off the leaves this time I made sure to cut very close to the branch so I don't get the mould problem again.
I also cut back the ficus pandora(subspecies of benjamina) today. This one is still in the shaping phase of it's life and quite enjoying the life in the tent. I'm getting a lot of air roots going down and seeking water. The plan for this one is to be a gnarled one so that fits well. I let little branches grow for a while from the trunk before removing to they get more of a diameter and then defoliate them. The branch withers away, I cut it back to a little stump and a few months later all that's left is a little nub on the trunk, like the wart on a witch. Then of course I've done the normal trimming and shaping of the primary branches.

Do you have a lot of seeds so far?

Do you have a lot of seeds so far?

Every time I took seeds I only took a bud so 10 to 20 each time. I've taken 4 sets of seeds .. so 50 total.

 

[Dudeski]

Nice breeding stock!

 

[Rapha El]

Nice breeding stock!

Nah the ones I've taken so far aren't going to be used for that. Those are for an experiment of germination rates for seeds of different ages. I want to see the curve of how they mature to viability.

..but there are still a few hundred seeds on the plant that are going to be used for growing and maybe breeding.

Extra Etra, hear ye!

Baby has been felled. This day before noon the plant known by many simply as "Baby" was brutally cut down by a madman. Using Scissors none the less. Eye witnesses mean to have heard him mumbling about seeds and ripeness. Let's now go to our correspondent on the Scene, Jackie:


Thank you Bob, it's a horrible scene to behold here. Looking at what is left of Baby we can only assume he cut everything of bit by bit and just left the skeleton.

"Let's look around the corner maybe we can sneak a peek through the window.."
*sees remains of baby arranged on a sheet of metal
*starts vomiting

In loving memory of Baby
