BlackJack 1 plant

[Youngling]

Here are some more pics. The mother of my little cuttings is doing well. I didnt get one with the measuring tape today but she was at 7.5 inches! She is growing fast, and I can count 8 tops! This is turning out well.

I plan on flowering her starting next week, I just hope she does not get too tall. I Have her in transition in her nutes. I started Flora Nova Flower today at 1/4th strength and dropped my PPMs from 700 to 560 just to make sure the new intake isnt too much for her. I'll slowly adjust as needed but after her flush and feedings today she is looking good and I cant see any problems as of yet. I just cant wait to start the flowering!

One final question for anyone who may know, my cuttings are kinda petrified where they are. They are bendable, but are ridged and still soft at the same time. Are they doing well? They are moist, and green so I figure they are okay Ive just never done clones before so I don't know if they are doing well or not if anyone could please let me know. Thanks! And hope you enjoyed reading and the Pictures.

Yo. I saw your signature and it made me click on it.
I'm also growing ebb and flow. Did you get your blackjack from nirvana seeds?
I got black jack and pure power plant from nirvana, and bred a REALLY nice PPP (stayed with those genetics for 2 yrs) and a blackjack male.
Now I'm running those seeds in ebb & flow, so we are kinda like kindred spirits, my dude.

Anyways...
1. I wouldnt recommend putting clones in a shotglass filled with water/clonex. Just dip in gel, pop em in rockwool and put em under the dome.

2. Unless they had crazy big fanleaves, you don't really need to trim them too much.

3. DON'T LOVE YOUR PLANTS TO DEATH. Just leave them under the dome! They probably only need to be misted every few days. Just let em sit.

Took my blackjack/PPP ~2weeks to root under a fluorescent lamp with 1" rockwool & root powder.
Let em get nice and rooted, then put em in your ebb&flow.

Your setup looks good though.

If you wanted to flower more plants, (might as well since you have a 400w lamp) you might want to get a bigger tray. If you don't want to shell out for one of those botanicare trays, you can just go to home depot and get a cement mixing tub. They keep em near the cinderblocks and building construction supplies. They have 2 sizes, 1.5'x2' and 2'x3'.
The 2x3 is good... Can flower 6 or 9 plants pretty well in it.

Anyways, good luck my dude.

Ha ha yeah I'm about to update this again with some pics. Ending the third week of flower. 4 tops and like 30+ mini tops. In my dr 60 she is 3ft tall!!

Funny you mentioned breeding. I wanted to breed a blackjack male with a purple wreck female. But I here purple wreck is kinda unstable and can hermy easily and same with blackjack. I hope it's not true cause I'd love me some purple jack

Okay its been a while since my last update, I figured people didnt want to see a plant veg.... So lets get to the good stuff!!

Fast foward a couple of weeks and we are in the third week of flowering with my first plant. I Kept the MH light in for the first two weeks to keep the plant shorter but it didnt help to much she is pushing 3FT!! Its kinda hard now since im only in a DR 60 (2ftx2ftx5ft) but she has so many bud sites and looks wonderful!

This week I changed the light to the HPS conversion bulb, and I added Bloombastic at 1/4 dose. The day after I added bloombastic to the res there is tric production!!!! And now the buds are starting to get bigger as well.

The pictures are from when I flushed her last Wednesday. She is still in a Ebb & Flow I use a DWC bucket for my flush.

Enjoy the pics and I welcome all comments!

Checking my ppm daily I've noticed she is starting to drink about 50-100 ppm every day. Is this about normal for this time of year?

Also I'm having trouble with humdity. 38 lights on 70+ lights off. None of my lil buds have mold thank goodness but I'm wondering if leaving my dr60 unzipped all night will help with the humidity. The room the dr60 is in stays really dark unless we go in there so she shouldn't hermi on me would she?

Last question she is over three feet tall and still adding about an 1" to a 1/2" every day in vertical growth. I'm really running out of room. How much longer will she grow vertically? She is on day 22 of flower.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Humidity always goes up when temp drops (which it always does at lights off). You can leave a fan on and you should have no problems. If it bothers you too much you could try a couple of buckets of damp-rid. You can find it at Bed Bath & Beyond and some other places like home depot or lowes. You could also put a small space heater in the tent to keep temps up at night. I honestly wouldn't worry about it though. If your daytime RH is in range then you should be good. Just keep the air moving. Plants are looking real nice BTW.

Got RH undercontrol and seem to have gotten the height just right now. And she is a hermi. I'm going to kill her and I may have a new grow going doubtful. Growing fruit is easier and makes ME more money.

Not that anyone follows my grow. This is mostly for my info
