BlackJack Clone 2019 (I)

This is Nirvana’s BlackJack. Not the first time growing, but this is my first clone brought to harvest. The only issues during veg. were in the beginning stages of cloning when my basement was very cold which slowed things down. My regret would perhaps be my rush into flower both in terms of using up soil amendment and allowing the plant to gain more (stem) size. Flower was a pleasure and no issue, this was a small, compact plant. Maybe, during the early periods, a bit crowded in the flower tent. Smells growing are subtle and sweet, leaning towards a licorice rather than fruit or candy. Product smell and taste is sweet, with a sort of pungency, or sharpness, that keeps it from being primarily taste driven. Trichome production is only average, not caked in crystal. Plenty of resin. The effects are nice with a decent impact. I would agree with Nirvana’s assessment that it is sativa based, I find it easily wipes you out. I readily use before bed to get nice and sleepy. Disappointed in yield but I would consider this a small indoor plant, the smallest stage past sea of green style. Overall, even though it was outperformed by a similar sized plant, this BlackJack (and others) confirm to me it can usually yield a good amount. The buds get dense. I also was experimenting with lighting, and so the first three weeks of flower were only at ten hours of daylight, which likely limited plant size. I have plenty of more BlackJack on the go, so settle in and enjoy a nice vape. If I can get the yield up the score goes up.
