I'm a couple weeks from my first harvest and have started the next run. I got 4 S.J. F7 going and I'm looking for any and all info on this strain. I use an all organic amended soil mix, a tech 4 2x2 floro with 4 ,P-LL 55 bulbs for veg and 400w hps for flower. I'm going to scrog 1 plant in a 2.5'x2.5'x7' space in a 5 gallon smart pot. I'd like to know if these are heavy feeders, what's the best way to sex ( Top?, wait for pre-flowers?, force then re-veg?...)....how long before flipping the lights? They are 2 1/2 inches tall now. The scrog net I made has 100 2"x2" holes and is 2'x2'. Also, is 4 beans enough to garentee at least 1 girl? And what could one expect for yeild if things go well?
Thanks for reading and any info you can pass along.
I grew the F6. SJ gives a heavier yield than typical. As I recall, it is not a heavy feeder (I nute burned it pretty bad).
I LSTed mine. One female preflowered in 5 weeks, the other didn't do it after 6, but flowered soon enough in 12/12.
With 4 seeds, you have more than a 90% chance of getting at least one female, ASSUMING you've got no light leaks or environmental issues that would cause a high number of males.
I ended up with 2 females outta 4 beans. FIM'd them but only caught one. The other only topped. LST'd them also. They are 3 weeks into flowering now. I've also just started 5 Heri IBL's (white bucket) that should be done around the same time. And if these act like the Jack F7's then I got 3 of 5 females comming...(3 short seedlings/2 tall seedlings)...but we'll see. And just for fun I put a Kolossus fem and 3 bag seed outside........just a side note on my first harvest of the 1 Kollossus and 1 madshack....got just over 4 oz.
After finding out just how freakin' easy it is just to wait for preflowers with regs...I'll always roll the dice. Had great % so far. Here's an updated pic of my girls. The 2 in black containers is the Sannie's Jack F7 and in the white pail is 3 heri, also from Sannie's. Very impressed I am......
Your plants look great, you are good at LSTing. Sannie makes some great seeds, how was the buzz on the Jack Herer? I hope everything is going smooth in your neck of the woods
Thanks Mal. The Jacks are at 8 of 13 weeks flowering tomorrow. Haven't tried 'em yet. Gonna be a long 5 more weeks!! But, by the looks of them, it should definately be worth the wait!!
Mal: It's a soaring haze, almost all in the head, with just a little body. It's as close to a ceilingless buzz as you'll find, unless you take the time to grow some of those very long flowering sativas. Very social, little or no paranoia. Not a sleep aid. Very, very lemony, not much odor while growing.
I burned mine by adding Bushmaster without raising the light high enough, and still got one of the biggest yields ever.
I chopped half of one yesterday. I'll let the rest of what I got go the distance. 'Bout 2-3 weeks I'm guessing. This sat. is 12wks for the Jacks and 6 weeks for the Heri IBL's. Anxious for the re-model comming up. Going to a sealed room with a 1000w gavita! Should improve things just a little...lol......
