Nirvana's Blackjack Harvest, Flowered 78 days, 400w soil,tent grow. PICS

Hey Fellow Pot Head's

Heres a few pics from my 9-11-11 Nirvana Blackjack harvest.
Setup Details:
Glowlabs GL120 Tent (48"x48"x78")
400w MH (veg) 400w HPS (flower) Air vented hood
4.3 gallon Air-pots w/ FFOF, FF Light Warrior, Perlite and lime added
Nutes = FF Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, Bat guano, Heavey Weight (carbs)
R.O Water only w/Cal-Mag plus added each time

Started out with 5 fem beans all 5 sprouted (gave 1 away) and these ladies were vegged about 5 weeks under a 400w MH. I topped all the plants just above the 2nd or 3rd node. Vegged untill all plants were about 12-14" tall. Once all showed signs of sex I let the flowering begin

The plants were very easy to grow and seems to love a good feeding. Plants did not stretch as much as I thought, they ended up being about 26-28" tall. I really dont stick to any set watering or feeding schedule as I just read the plants and make my feeding/watering determinations from there. During the veg stage I used Grow Big and big bloom almost every watering (heavy watering maybe 1 once every 3-5days) Once flowering begin I started adding Heavy Weight (weeks1,3,5,7) as well as Tiger Bloom every watering. Plants seemed to like a good feeding and I was able to keep them dark green untill the last few weeks when I stopped all feedings and flushed with water only. I did have one major issue while in flowering, at week 6 I had a timer malfuction that left the light on 24/7 for 5 days..........I didnt relaize what was going on, since I never check on them unless I know the light is on (glad I did on day 5) anyway I think this prolonged my flowering and caused some heat stress issues (as my babies were bone dry) and after trimming the buds up, I could see that some of the buds had alot of leaf matter that seems to be caused by reverting to Veg growth during the 5 days of 24/7 light......its just a guess, Overall all the buds are very dense and seem fine.......only a few had this leafy issue. I had been checking the trichomes with a 60-100x scope (75%milkey, 15% amber and a few still clear) and decided at day 75 to shut them down and let them sit 72 hours in complete darkness for a 9-11 harvest.

So in the end I spent my 9-11 trimming and watching football......not a bad way to spend a Sunday, but I must say Im glad its done

I set 150grams of wet bud in RO water for water curing (my stealth stash)

The rest was hung back into the tent for air drying/curing.

I do not have a wet weight, but would love to hear some guess on what you might think the dry/cured weight will be.

I will update this thread with final weights and a detailed smoke report once they have a good cure.

Thanks: StlMatt
(any and all coments/questions welcomed)

PS. Cant wait to get started on the next Grow (Sterling Haze) with my new 600w top of the line setup

excellent work. especially from a 400watt. tell you what you can send us a gram and i'l tell you how she smokes??

rep up my friend!

very noice .. now puff puff pass

I usually don't comment in these threads. That is some yummy looking bud.

wow, nice harvest......

damn!! just incredible...

Looks great buddy, I'm approaching harvest time as well in the next coming days. I'm gunna say you'll get 2-4 ounces for shitz n' giggles

70% - 80% of the wet (freshly cut) cannabis is water weight.
About 4/5 if you prefer.

150g wet = 30g - 40g dried (depends how much you dry it of course).

Thanks everyone.

There was to much there to weight it all....and at the end of my 7 hour trim session all I wanted to do was get it up and drying, I only weighed out a very small amount (150g wet) do to some water curing (stealth smoke), and I know that the water cured will have a net return of about 22g when finished and dried........the rest is drying in the tent now and should be jared up and curing by the end of the week. I am hoping for 10oz of finished product.......and a few oz's of fine trimmings.

Very nice trim job,I'm thinking 3 + oz's

looking... (and jizzing) at your 5th pic i'm gonna say 4 oz.. if it's proper dried

WOW, maybe my pics are deceiving......as I will cry if I only have 4oz. I am for sure I have at least 8oz as I know I have atleast 10 buds that weighed 50+g wet. My last grow had a harvest of 8oz and I really think this one is better, as the buds are really dense. I guess only time will tell. I will post a final weight in a few weeks.

Did u have indica or sativa strain?
When it is indica do you flush at 75% cloudy trichz?

you guys are fucking crazy that are saying this guy has only 3, 4, 5 ozs. that is at least a half-pound. id say 9-11 ozs maybe even 12. that is fucking really nice harvest especially with 400w and in soil with organics based nutrients. when did you use the bat gauno and how? u have it listed under nutes but dont say how you use it. and you weren't using CO2 either im shocked +rep

Just had a jar of Blackjack and it's a real treat. Looks like a very good harvest, that stuff was surprisingly dense and aromatic and flavor to match. Well done!

I use the bat guano at weeks 3 and 5 of flowering, I mix 1/4 cup per gallon of water and let it sit for 1 day.....as it doesnt disolve very well. I do not use any CO2, but I do have great air-flow and my temps never get above 76 degrees.

Thanks: Stlmatt
