Stanks Go Perpetual In 2018!

[Van Stank]

Morning everyone! Making my way around to all your journals this morning while I am enjoying me red bull. Hope everyone had a great weekened!

Did anyone catch the UFC fight this weekend? (or more importantly....does anyone out there not want me to talk about results and ruin any of the fights for you?)

 

[Van Stank]

That stankberry is awesome. Hard to keep up with these threads that rip that fast.

Thanks Sam! I am digging the Stankberry.......she's a sexy girl.

No worries about keeping up....just stop in and check out the pics and do what ya can brother. I try to give lots of updates so if you missed anything a few days ago, you will get another recap a day or two later.

 

[Van Stank]

I’m convinced on the stankberry!

I'm getting there LOL!! I like this one!

It's that hybrid vigor baby!!!

Definitely doesn't hurt LOL!

Jack Herer Auto Day 53

First of a couple updates today. Got around to most everyone's journal this morning and finally checked on the girls in flower. They don't wake up until 11am but this Jack really caught my attention. She is turning into a monster despite me really not doing much with her. I decided to do her some justice today so spent a little time spreading her out for a bit better light penetration and I defoliated about 20-30 leaves. Still nervous about over defoliating this girl (first time with autos so don't know how they respond so I am erring on the side of caution) and stunting her during the stretch.

She is REALLY drinking. Her next drink, probably tomorrow will be just plain water....gonna mix her up a little from the ACT. Don't ask why.....cause I don't really have a reason but something is telling me to give her just water.

I measured this girl and she is getting large. She is about 22" across and really thick as you can see. Her stem is getting massive (pics next time on the stem). Smells are starting to pick up a little (she didn't smell much at all in veg). She will likely get moved back down to the veg tent in a few days when I go to flip the Blue Dream (she's getting real close to being ready to flip). I will just swap the plants in their respective tents.

I was playing with the idea of running the Jack in both tents (moving her from the flower tent at 11pm back into the veg tent.....and moving her back to the flower tent at 11am) but thats a lot of work and I am a lazy grower. But we will see....I change my mind a lot while experimenting. I have a feeling the Northern Lights is going to need a large portion of this veg tent, she's gonna be big!

More light makes it worth all the moving! Go for it. It's just the one .

 

[Pennywise]

Make sure that big Jack gets plenty!

 

[Derbybud]

Jacks looking good Van. Never under estimate an auto. Those things can be big

We will see. She can be heavy after a full watering. I guess I am worried about missing the move and stressing her by her seeing 12 hours now, then going back up to 18 and then potentially missing a move and her being all over the clock on a light schedule. Could be easier just to keep her in the downstairs tent under the Dwarf star (but damn she doesn't have the penetration power that the Spydrx Plus has) and just take what she gives me.

Make sure that big Jack gets plenty!

She will get plenty, just depends on if its the good stuff for 18 hours or the killer stuff for 12 hours and 6 hours of the good stuff. And I know that she is going to become hard to move once those colas get big and start flopping. I hate bud floppage.

This one has certainly surprised me, in a very positive manner. She wasn't pretty early on but she has just kept picking up steam.

Jack Herer Auto Day 49

Haven't posted any pics of her in a while so I figured we were overdue. She is stretching a little, not much though. I keep plucking off 3 or 4 fan leaves every day and she keeps producing more tops. I have a feeling she is going to yield pretty good.....at least I hope so!

She got a big drink of ACT last night as well.....to the point of run off. Her run off was coming out in the 7.4 range as well. Would love to see how she would be doing if that pH was a bit closer to what I want. Certainly can't complain with her!

The main stalk is wonderful with those big branches! Which root booster did you use?

 

[Van Stank]

I sprinkled a little mykos when I planted her originally. Other than that, I think thats it. She has only received ACT at this point with a little splash of Cal Mag (once or twice...but mostly just ACT).

Great!

 

[TheMadDabber]

You sure that's an auto?! Lmao. That lights really bringing out her full potential!

 

[Van Stank]

LOL, all I am sure of is that I got it out of a package from Greenhouse seeds that said Jack Herer Auto.

 

[MiOutdoorsman]

Whatever you are doing with the auto is working. She looks happy! I've only grown autos once. None of the 9 I grew we're bushy like yours. Yours is going to yeild well

 

[Van Stank]

LOL....I am leaving it alone!!! Thats why its doing so well. Today is the first thing have done more than pull 3 or 4 leaves off the plant. Other than watering her, I don't think I have spent more than 30-45 minutes with her before today's session.

 

[MaddHacker]

Good Green Day, Stanks , and all... been catchin up today and i gotta tell ya impressive growth for the stankberries I have been watching for those, although your JH makes a person wanna start a few autos.... My heart says yes, my mind says recess over now back to work... lmao.. Hope all had a great weekend, and I just caught the Ms Stank avatar.... So cool and funny... Gonna read up on her later... six o Stella and a bud for the bowl my friends

 

[SamSmith]

Damn that Jack is looking huge. I have seen some pictures of some auto's that got pretty big but not many. You're doing something right. Good work there stank. I will say this about GHS's product. They are vigorous growing. My train wreck is shooting up and DiVilles did as well. I don't have the height restrictions as some do but 4 weeks in veg and 3 more at 12-12 and she is almost up to my ribs and I am 6'-1". I hope she stops stretching soon.

I agree! I didn't like auto anymore cause I thought they were flowering too soon. But looking at Stank's plant make me realize I just didn't know how to grow them well by that time. The jack is so huge and could take that big amount of training before going to flower! That s simply impressive!

The more you grow the more you learn how to do it well. These guys that have been running plants perpetually for a while have had the time to perfect the art so to speak. I also think in perpetual you tend to remember what works and what doesn't as the grows just repeat.
