I'm glad you asked. It's going great so far! Maui waui is always the first to finish and the buds clipped on the first day of trimming are dry enough to sample. All I can say is wow! I've grown mw for over 2 years now and it's never been this effing potent or smooth smoking. I rolled up a jibber and burned down with my neighbor who lives behind me. He did not care for the last 2 cycles of maui. Halfway through the joint he straight tells me he can't hardly believe it's the same strain. I would agree. It's different as if the genetics reached their full intended potential. I use to tell people maui waui is a good day time smoke. That shit is out the window this cycle. It puts me down. Hard. Bowl burns to a clean fluffy gray ash. I can hear the sizzle of the resin as the bowl burns down. Turn it over. Tap it in my hand. Whole ash comes right out leaving the bowl ready for a clean wipe with toilet paper. My last maui with GH maxi burned to a hard black ash that had to be dug out with a toothpick. I actually use to keep a mechanics poker on my tray because that's just how it was. Jack's grown maui burns just like my old school soil grown buds did. Smooth to the last hit. No nasty yuck taste as the bowl burns like last cycle.So how's the Jack's doing now @jonnynobody ?
I've had to raise my EC to 2.2 recently. Had a few plants late in veg (7+ weeks) that started showing Calcium deficiencies @ 1.8 and I'm still battling P/K/Mg deficiencies starting a week after flip.
I figured I'd try running @ their recommended EC now that I'm getting my leds and heat figured out. Hopefully that will solve the problems.
I think the difference is truly the 321 system and while I think the 7-15-30 is a great way to finish the plants it's not something I can say will make a huge difference because I haven't done a controlled test yet. I'll continue using it because jack's recommends it, and I tend to trust their advice at this point. It isn't as if it's an expensive product or anything like that, so I pulled the trigger and am happy to incorporate it into my flower routine. I have been doing a 3 day plain RO water leech prior to harvest day on all of the plants. I feel 3 days is sufficient enough. I use to discontinue fertilizer input 7 days prior to harvest in soil, so I figured halve that amount in hydro since there's no soil buffer between the roots and the elements. The maui results confirmed for me that 3 days is plenty. I'm very excited to see how jager, ghost train, critical mass, and girl scout cookies turns out from a smoke report perspective. They all are frostier with more intense aromas. If the quality improves on those strains the same way maui did this is going to be monumental for me. I've been chasing this soil quality in hydro for over 10 years. Thanks to Jack's I finally found my unicorn
