So I received this strain as a freebie and I intended to clone a bunch off if it but it would get woody incredibly fast and take incredibly long to root; three to four weeks. I had three seeds and I thought about killing them in several occasions but I decided to go ahead and flower them since I didn't pay for them and maybe some of the other clones would root in the mean time.
Long story short I couldn't get good clones and decided to flower.

I've pretty much gotten away with not watering my entire tray for six days, a bit excessive as I saw some leaf drooping, but six days from a 3" flood makes me happy. I'm thinking the root system in the two smaller plants are less developed and suffered from under watering the fastest. Stretch is pretty moderate so far but nothing special so far. I'm not seeing anything special with these genetics so far, just big sensitive plants. Thankfully they were freebies as these aren't giving me much faith in Seedsman as a breeder.

So the Jack Herer were also fond of the 11/13 schedule and started throwing pistols. The two runty phenos are looking less than amazing while the large pheno is looking good but not great. I'm trying to withhold judgement on Seedsman but these genetics aren't doing it for me.
They are developing decently so I won't entirely complain just not impressed. The large pheno is very uniform and the best one so far with moderate stretching. Maybe they'll get a little thirstier with flowering really beginning.

I've had to tie these down as they were climbing up the side of the tent. The main pheno is alright but if I grow a Jack again it will be Sannie Seeds. They adapted and gave me a pretty even canopy. Pipe cleaners are amazing.

I've been foliar feeding for almost two weeks, three times a week, with better looking leaves that aren't cupping in the high heat with the lights 8-16" away. I neglected to add temperature differentials but for my notes I have been allowing it to drop to 74f at night with the temps higher during the day.
They aren't eating much considering my tap water is .3 EC and .3 of the 1.3 EC is CalMag. So 0.7 EC so far where Greenleaf Nutrients recommends 1.5 EC.
Nodes are moderate and sativa like in the biggest pheno the others appear to be stunted or deficient and less appealing lol.

I had to flood these yesterday, changing it from five to possibly four days in between, EC has been consistent and foliar feeding has been done.
No more training has been necessary and I ended up with mostly even canopy on all three phenos. I'm not expecting anything if quality from the two smaller phenos that have struggled their whole lives. The large pheno has minimal yellowing and strong stems with 8" average length colas.

Leaves were lightening up but I'm seeing chlorosis like a deficiency which I'm thinking was either a calcium and or pH issue. I increased the strength of Mega Crop and the CalMag plus raised the ph.
I cut down the other two phenos that hadn't even begun swelling and so they are no more.
The plant smells like rotting fruit and looks to be possible give 4-6oz.

It has been super cold in the attic and the LEDs don't help enough. Thankful the flower tent has a controller but the other tent not so much. On to the update.
Either stems are getting weak or bud is getting heavy but all the colas have decided to lean whichever way they please. The smell is less rotten and more sweet now with sticky but less oily feel.
Leaves stopped wilting and I believe I got ahead of whatever issue there originally. Pictures as usual but note that all these shots are from the branches hanging at the very bottom.

An edit to the EC because I was only measuring the MC and for the sake of accuracy I've noted the true EC. My tap measures at a .3 with the CalMag at a .9 and MC at 1.7.
Like a pregnant woman the time is drawing near and soon the calyxes will begin to swell. She is putting on some weight and the majority of branches have fallen over. The smell is like fruit with a subtle caramel or candied aroma. Trichome production isn't as bountiful as other strains noticeably.
This is a 50-70 day strain so in a few days I'll be checking trichomes for amber. The swell may be happening soon but I'm not seeing senescence in the sugar leaves yet.

This is the end and I am slightly regretful at not getting a mother. This was the fast pheno though. I'll be posting the dry weight and a smoke report later.
