OK heres an update finally. I've been sick and without a computer. My hard drive crashed and i'm just getting running. So most fan leaves where yellowed. I went through clipped all of yellow and brown leaves since they weren't doing any thing productive and where shading the lower buds so I clipped them.
I replanted my new plants into 5 gallon pots last week. It was a stretch getting enough light under 6, t5's. So march 1st I moved them to the flower room with my current crop. These girls are going to be big. With the bigger pot and the extra grow they are almost as tall as the old crop.
So heres a overall picture and some closeups.
I am very please with the purples that have developed, a nice color development. Most of my trics are cloudy now. There are a very few amber but a few here and there. I'm thing this weekend or early next week to begin harvest. Thanks to those who have continued to follow.

Wow man, that looks great! I just ordered 50+ different strains from attitude and got about 30 types of autos as well, I can only hope my grow looks that good. i am 5 days into flowering with the widow and NY diesel and Baby breath freak x NL....my biggest plant turned out to be male which sucks cuz all the males showed sex months ago but this one made it through somehow...

I will be anxious to see what your totals are...Love this log!

Wow, just got my BlackJack seeds from Nirvana. I can't wait to start. Your buds look awesome! Thanks for sharing and let us know how they taste.

I keep reading about the amazing citrus smell these bad boys have. So stoked about getting these seeds going.

Finally on the drying rack
If I've learned anything, it that it will take longer, much longer than I thought it would. 28 hours of trimming. After a while the size of the buds going to has grew.
An it stunk. You could smell out in my yard, like a dead skunk. I trimmed until all would be blurry, I guess I smoked to much finger hash. So the pictures and weight reflex over 40 hours of dry time.
I cut all my branches and piled them up, big mistake. At most I should have cut 1 tree at a time. As the leaves dry they stick to the bud and are much harder to trim.
The roots look good, they seem to have sufficient room.
Here are the numbers:
sugar leaves and small bud 257 grams
bud 975 grams (includes the 3 big buds pictured)
lose bud 48 grams (dried in dehydrator at 28 grams, 1 oz)
Over a Kilo wet. So I would hope to have at least a 1/2 pound.
I'll post a dry weight when its done.

I'm still drying and curing,i dont have a final weight yet do you??? I'm at 9oz 8 grams now
I've ended at 11 ozs. and 16 grams of hash. considering all of the problems I had I'm quite pleased. Today I was at a friends who handed me a blow to light I almost coughed up a lung. We quickly switched to blackjack for a smooth smoke. Sometimes you don't know how good it is until you smoke some swag. It would be nice to network and swap clones with others.
By the way the hash stomped me. Well worth the time. An I used the ice at the end to work my fan leaves. I had very few fan leaves ( didn't weigh) but I got 2 more grams of slightly lower grad stuff. It was a little green but the has from the sugar leaves, is blonde, take your breathe away and beg for more.
It was good to share someone even if they never knew I grew it the complements kept coming. I want to jump up and say I did it I grew that kick ass shit. Any way I guess it completes this grow. The current flower grow is growing great. My clones are not looking so good. I think to much water. Its so easy to over water those little guys.
All in all, I think Blackjack has been a great chose for me. It is easy to grow, hardy(hard to kill), nice smell, mellow high. I would recommend it to anyone.

I received an inquiry about blackjack, so I'm uploading current grow pictures. This is a much better grow, all plants have 2 colas. Hopefully I'll figure out what I'm doing wrong and will get 4 colas the next grow. These went to 12/12 on March 1st. I've lost very few leaves, the plants are a lush dark green. There are a few brown spots that just formed. I believe from the kelp foliar feeding I did yesterday. The canopy is fairly level. I couldn't be happier with this plant.
I don't think I could have picked a better strain. I expect a much better yield than the last grow, but I'm not there yet.
