Back to the Nirvana Blackjack, I do notice two different phenos. But they are more alike than they are different. One is real branchy, a real christmas tree pattern. The other pheno the secondary buds stay close to the main stem all the way up. With the christmas tree pheno, the secondary buds start branching out, with some of the lower ones being ten inches or longer. I suspect the branchy plant will taken longer to finish. A friend says it reminds him of a plant called Nirvana Special, which is a sativa, that also share a parent in the Jock Horror, AKA, Jack Herrer. I don't think this is a fast finisher, but the final result might be really good.
The christmas tree Blackjack is a really good cloner. I took a six inch cut, trimmed leaves off the bottom three inches, and soaked it in water overnight. The next day I put in a beer cup, buried at least three inches of the stem in soil, and watered until it came out the drain holes. For five days it was kind of dormant, living, but not growing. Then it grew one inch in the next three days. At this point I topped it. All the lower nodes started shooting up nicely after topping. Finally, three day later, I transplanted in another pot. There was a fairly healthy root system, especially around the bottom of the cup. I suspect a week or two from now, I might have six or seven nice clones ready to do the same thing. I didn't use any cloning gimmicks, no root toner or anything. Just a cup with MG soil. Right now it is 14 days old. It is entirely possible that in another 7 days it will have six or seven good clones. When you consider seeds start as tiny seedlings, and this clone is already at least three inches tall, the cloning process is somewhat equal to starting from seed, at least in time scale.
