Hello, so I’m growing 3 photos indoors….all different strains with one being a cJack Herer. I have no experience w/ this strain and not much growing indoors….I have grown outside a good bit yrs ago.
Anyway, the breeder says there are quite a few pheno variations of JH, so the flowering timeline could be almost anywhere on the spectrum.
The plant is on day 68 of 12/12 and she showed pistils almost immediately after the light flip….like within 3-4 days.
I feel like I can judge the ripeness of a plant as good as the next guy, but this one is tricky.
It has went through a noticeable swell and really looks ready……except for just a few white pistils.
Usually I’m a believer in waiting till all the pistils have turned before even thinking about chopping. But like I said, this plant is tricky……for example, the tops of the tops are all 50% plus amber trichs. And I’m talking about calyx trichs. The leaf trichs are practically 100% amber.
But move down the bud about an inch and it’s a different story. There it’s mostly cloudy, some ambers and still some clears.
What’s really concerning me is the buds almost seem like they are drying out, especially the tips…….and they’ve lost some of the odor that was fairly strong a couple weeks ago.
The other 2 plants are gonna need at least 2-3 weeks still….so today I dialed my light (an HLG 320xl led) intensity back a notch and moved the JH further away allowing the other 2 to be more front and center.
Maybe someone can tell me where the sweet spot is for JH……if there is such a thing.
I’m afraid if I let this plant go until there are zero white pistils, it will be over cooked and really lacking in the terp department.
Oh, one last thing…….I spotted a nanner yesterday. Talk about lucky, I was scoping and happened to see a tiny little spot that didn’t look right. It was the start of one and I was able to clip it out cleanly. Any advice is appreciated.
