This wonder could well have come from the mind of Stan Lee or star in a new movie from the Marvel universe ... cos it has all the qualities of a superheroine. "The result of an exhaustive selection and a careful preservation of genetics over time, at birth, Colombian Jack contained inside her the cosmic power of the Titanic Nebula and the explosive energy of the powerful Black Jack, her parents."
When she arrived on Earth she discovered her gifts: Super powers of both aroma and effects; a delicious citrus flavour between lime and grapefruit with slight touches of incense; mental lightness with high creativity; remarkable homogeneity in the crop (thanks to the equal degree of dominance between her parents), giving rise to plants with large flowers full of dazzling trichomes and a huge production of resin that extends to more than half the surface of the floral leaves.
But the secret identity of our superheroine is in danger, because even whilst preserving a beautiful and discreet indica, she can not hide her strong sativa effect nor her high productivity, virtues that together with a normal flowering period and bestial THC levels, make her stand out on her own merits.
These prodigious genetics, among whose remote ancestors we also find elements of both Haze and Jack Herer, made her a champion before she was even on the market.
Strain is quite resistant and vigorous, although I pushed it to the limits, first under watering and then in the end with humidity being a bit high, no wonder one of the buds caught a bud rot. But in the end I'm really happy with it, the buds are dense and frosty.
Colombian Jack is the result of crossing Nebula and Black Jack, two great genetics, with predominance sativa (70%). My experience is been a bit different by the description of Kannabia, i think also all the problems came out in this growth are caused by an imbalanced Ca/Mg rate and this is been my mistake.
The plant had a great growth during the vegatation phase responding well to the topping tecnique but the first two weeks of flowering were very bad: growth was low without showing the real sativa power so she ended up looking like a bush and producing a small harvest.
After a long time i'm closing this diary with the smoke review: i start giving one more star because the taste and the high make me fall in love with this strain, it has a truly sativa effect perfect for all the days activities with a soft smoke; the taste is delicious for me, i feel for first the tipical taste of the green apple a bit acid then the sweet of tropical fruit with woody notes aftertaste. For sure I will do this strain again. I tried also to do Fresh Frozen DHO from trimmed leaves and i had a great results both in terms of weight and taste.
1. Growing Information (the growing characteristics of the strain)
- Plant structure: 70cm, low leaf ratio, stalky strong branches packed with buds
- Flowering time: 10 weeks
- Yield potential: 190g
- Resistance to pests and mold: Yes
- Preferred growing conditions: Indoors for this time
- Special care requirements or tips: I trained her to 8 mains, and that turned out quite well.
I haven't had a chance to go outside to check on my plants in a few weeks, but after doing so this week, I had to chop them all early. They were getting some powdery mildew on lower leaves, and the rest of the leaves were depleted of color, drooping, and falling off (not senescence), telling me the soil and very little rain this year was not ideal.
It's okay though. This was the last year I intended to do photoperiods outdoors. Actually, last year was, marking 20 years, but my indoor game was not down yet. So 21 years it is. I will still be doing some autoflowers outdoor next year, as they are the only ones that do good in my climate -- it gets very cold too early, and I don't have the patience to do any light deprivation techniques. Additionally, it is always close to 100% humidity in mid-late summer, which is far from ideal.
I didn't take any pictures before the harvest out of disappointment, but if any of the bud turns out to be decent after drying, I'll update this harvest report. The picture below is from a few weeks ago.
