This is my first grow. I chose Blackjack for its THC content, easy of growth (recommended for beginner), shorter flowering time and nirvana Seed Company recommendation from this site. I knew nothing first hand of this or any other seed. I chose feminized seeds hoping to simplify the process.
I have one room 6 x 8.5, divided with B/W polyvinyl on a 2x2 frame making my veg room 2.5 by 6 and my flower room 6x6. I used 2 zippers for a door.
I have 2, 4 T12 for cloning, under that 4, 4 T5 (which may need to be increased).
I have a 1kw hps for flowering. It is an air cooled room with a 6 exhausts fan which currently pulls air from inside the room in to my house through a closet with a odor sock carbon filter. It is on a thermostat that comes on at about 83° and off around 75°. This helps heat my house. Im using a liquid filled plug in heater during lights out in the flower room. Lowes are about 68°-69°. In the summer I will use this fan venting room air into my house and using my house AC to cold this area. I will add another fan pulling air from my house eve vent and exhausting in to my attic to cold the light.
I am growing organic in soil. Using Fox Farms, Ocean Forest and Light Warrior 2-1 ratio. Adding Worm casting, Blood meal, and Bone Meal. I feed once with molasses in veg and plan to feed with Bat Guano during flower and I am preparing Tea to top feed now.
November 2, I place my 5 seeds in a damp paper towel in a zip lock in the drawer. 4 seeds sprouted 1 never did.
These are pictures I took November 21. I had concerns over brown and white spots. They went away on their own. After having almost killing my clones, having them to close to my T5, I think seedlings where to close to the light.
Here is the forum link if you care to read it or see the pictures.

After 2 weeks the seedlings where placed in 1 gallon pots, as pictured above. After 3 more weeks they where placed in 3 gallon pots. 2 weeks later, December 20 they where placed in 36 hours of dark to start flowering. They have since been on 12/12 lighting. I had concerns about light filtering though the zipper from my veg room. After an attempt to stop the light, I decided just let it go and see. As you can see the small amount of light does not seem to affect the plant development.
PH of water is 6.5 and run off from plan is also 6.5.
So far all appear to be female with a bushy ,thick, Dark Green Canopy forming. All where topped, however, 2 did not split, 2 did. 2 have 1 cola each, 1 has 3 and 1 has 4. The tallest is 28 and has grew from 14 on December 20. I should have planted in larger pots, but it may be a little hard to repot this by myself.
These pictures are from 1-8. 7 weeks from seed through veg and 19 days in flower.
As you can see from picture b, d and , several leaves are turning under with a wilt like appearance. It appears to be damage from aphids, spider mites, or some other bloodsucker, however, there are none to be found. An I have seen my share in the vegetable garden. Other than a few leafs turning under everything is fine. Hopefully it is nothing.
Any advice, suggestions, criticism and help is appreciated.
Thanks,
