I got 5 fem blackjacks seeds from Nirvana,all germed and came up thru soil in 2 days.I am now in day 25 of veg(3 1/2 weeks)My plants started off fast with 2 and 3 nodes about 1/4 of an inch apart in the first 10 days or so.Then at about 14 days i topped all 5.This is my first grow so not sure how well i did the topping but I got different results out of doing it so far.On my biggest plant,it seemed to really help with more top colas.But with 2 of the smallest ones,it gave me 2 colas instead of one but seemed to really slow down the top growth for the next 10 days.I should of done a few so I could of compared the end results in yield,but for now it seems it slowed down the growth,but gave me more top colas.My plants now at day 25 are 4-5" tall,bushy as hell,and 4-6 matching nodes so far.So I have a node per inch of height so far.I'm kinda wondering if they should be more then 4-5" after 25 days.I had planned on flowering them after day 28 but I'm worried they are too small at 5" to flower,although they have lots of nodes.Your imput on that would help alot.I am growing indoors in a tent that is 5' high x 4'wide x 2' deep.I have a 400w switchable MH and HPS light.Using soil and fox farm nutes.I have taken off the lower leafs to give more light to the nodes at the bottom.My bottom node is about 1/4" off the soil.They look great,just small,leaves are green,the biggest one looks different then the other 4 for some reason the color is lighter on the other 4 and the leaves seem a bit more fatter.My only environmental concerns are with this grow is im limited to what i can do caus of where i live,but my temp is usually 82-86 day time with 10-25%humidity.I have tried 5 gallon buckets of water in the tent,and I even bought a humidifier and put it in the tent,neither did much of anything or get it over 30%ever.So I have dry conditions with a bit more heat then I would like.Not sure if these are keeping the plants shorter then usual.Nirvana doesnt tell you when to flower each individual strain,they just pretty much day 9-11 weeks.Anyone who has harvested at the prime time,please let me know what is the best time.I was gonna go with when the trics were 3/4 brown instead of clear,but that doesn't tell me how many weeks I'm gonna have to wait. I also just put a cut apple in a brown paper bag and put it in the tent for more CO2.
