Welcome to my Black Jack..(After looking through my seeds and seen that my packaging for this strain. I've the normal Black Jack, not the FV) I seen this strain in the Sweet Seeds List when asked to pick. And it was a year ago. And I picked it from its pedigree and the fact I didn't do a FV of any kind, nor have I still. (I am actually doing their OG high prize pedigree strain. Even better. I've the Cream Cartmel FV as I got confused) She is a healthy girl in day 35 now. Really healthy. I Broke A few of her walls to bend it as it was all stacked up. (I've tons more pics of her progress hopefully I'll be able to pull up) But, as you can see. Her structure was mainly stacked so she was shaped and I let her nodes go hard as they do when HST'ed not for the fact to get big buds, as that's not when HST Is meant for only. Super cropping requires a lot of early hst. (Its simple you just fell a node by rolling it and bending it to fall where you plan to shape for a few days you need to make sure if sticks as if she's in any stages of rapid growth. She'll just grow straight back upwards Anyways. I've set her up nicely ill put her to flip soon.. After she pre flowers and does that full phase I'll HST and watch her few nodes explode. As she doesn't have a lot of foliage and I lollipopped a lot as you can see. Need to do plants with not a lot of mentinance as I've 21+ atm going. Every plant is healthy.. all at different stages and going according to plan actually an extra week ahead on 3 autos that have already moved into the fattening stage. FC 3000 is turned up to 100% and held at 40% away giving the autos 1000ish ppfd and allowing my whole tent to get more light. I've the light about 130cm up from the floor. Nutrient wise. Looks like a lot. Well if I were doing weeks. Power roots, pure zym are given once every 10 days or so. Alga Grow was stopped on day 30. I did give her she fish force only today. (Day 33 and 2 weeks ago) Terpinator will be applied in a few days and will be every 10 days or so until soft flush (water feeds for a wk, no run-off). ALL NUTRIENTS ARE EVEN DAYS APART AND ENZYMES AND POWER ROOTS ARE USED AS FOLLOW FEEDS. No ph'in as this is organic. TERPINATOR IS 6.4 WITH MY WATER AND I GAVE THAT TODAY 3 DAYS APART FROM HER LAST ORGANIC PRODUCT (As they hold a ph of 4 some are 9. But its organic and true organic soil doesn't need ph'in) only additives need to be brought in line with soil needs if using synthetic nutrients and should not be given near anything that may clash. Rule is if you're giving a different brand/type organic/synthetic don't put them in the same pot that will allow them to mix there ph's as synthetic nutrients require a set ph in soil where as true organics don't. Thanks to sweet seeds for giving me these seeds. Sorry it took so long to get to. Real hardy seeds. 1.3yrs old and they she looks great for a 33 day old lady.

Hello:) This week I installed the net and defoliated them a final time, now I just need to sit back and relax:) maybe some fertiliser next week since the plants still look just fine without anything more than what I put in the soil at the start… let‘s see:)

65 Days I checked the trichomes last night and there is a good amount of ambers showing. This will probably be the last update before I harvest. Buds are really packing on the weight and man, is she stinky.

Scrooge has bounced back after the trim, looking much improved. It's also showing more active feeding. I've started watering it separately and keeping a close eye on its progress. 🌿💧 Keep up the good work!

Pretty average growth, the leaves are a little funky. I am trying to keep the soil from drying out to a crisp. Plant 1 is taller, Plant 2 is shorter with leaves a little further along.

Seems like they are doing fine now they have some sun. I used cow shit in my grow medium for fertilizer. And I'll be dosing with bat guano next week.

🌱 8×8 Adventure – Cash Express (Plant B) | Week 4 Taking Her Time to Build Something Special Welcome back to another update from my 8×8 Adventure, where twelve unique genetics are growing together under identical conditions while every phenotype receives its own individual diary. This project is all about discovering how different plants express themselves, even when sharing the same environment, feeding schedule, and care. This week belongs to Cash Express – Plant B, and although she’s following the same path as her sister, she’s choosing to walk it at her own pace. While Plant A has already started flirting with pre-flowering, this beautiful lady is still fully focused on building her vegetative structure before making the transition. And honestly… I love seeing those differences. ⸻ 🌿 Life Inside the 8×8 Jungle Everything inside the tent continues running smoothly as the entire garden moves closer to flowering. The ecosystem remains stable, allowing every phenotype to express its own personality without environmental stress influencing the outcome. Healthy airflow, consistent temperatures, and balanced humidity continue creating the perfect conditions for vigorous growth. One of the things I enjoy most about this project is watching twelve different cultivars evolve together while still behaving completely differently. Cash Express B is proving that genetics always have the final word. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program This week she continued receiving the same balanced nutrition as the rest of the garden. Feeding Schedule • Plagron Terra Grow • Plagron Power Roots • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Vita Race (foliar) The plants continue responding with lush green foliage, healthy stems, and steady growth, confirming that the feeding strategy remains right where it needs to be. ⸻ 🌱 Growth & Development Although slightly behind her sister in maturity, Plant B has developed into a beautifully balanced plant. Her structure is compact but steadily stretching upward, and she’s beginning to establish herself as one of the taller ladies in the room. Every day she adds a little more height while continuing to strengthen the lower branching that will support future flower sites. Unlike Plant A, I’m not officially calling pre-flower on this phenotype just yet. The growth tips are becoming increasingly active, but she’s still investing most of her energy into vegetative expansion rather than reproductive growth. Sometimes patience produces the biggest surprises later in flower. Her leaf color remains vibrant, stems are becoming thicker by the day, and new growth appears healthy and vigorous across the entire plant. ⸻ ✂️ Low Stress Training Training this week remained gentle and intentional. Leaf tucking and light Low Stress Training continue opening the canopy while allowing more light to reach the developing side branches. She’s responding exactly how I hoped. Each adjustment encourages additional branching without slowing her natural momentum, and the canopy is beginning to widen nicely while maintaining excellent symmetry. Rather than forcing her into shape, I’m simply guiding her and letting her genetics do the rest. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I’ll continue allowing Plant B to dictate the pace. There’s no rush. I’ll keep encouraging lateral growth through gentle LST, continue opening the canopy with occasional leaf tucking, and wait patiently for her to announce the beginning of flowering in her own time. With the way she’s developing now, I expect she’ll reward that patience with a strong, well-balanced canopy ready to support plenty of flowering sites. Every day she’s becoming a little stronger, a little wider, and a little closer to showing exactly what this phenotype has hidden inside. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts This is exactly why I love running phenotype hunts. Two sisters. The same genetics. The same environment. The same feeding schedule. Yet completely different personalities. Cash Express Plant B reminds us that every plant has her own rhythm. She’s calm, methodical, and focused on building a solid foundation before taking the next step. Sometimes those are the plants that surprise us the most when harvest day finally arrives. I’m excited to watch her story unfold over the coming weeks. Thank you all for following this 8×8 Adventure and for joining me on another chapter of this incredible journey. A huge thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps this garden thriving, Zamnesia for supplying the genetics and equipment that make this project possible, and of course to the amazing GrowDiaries community for all the support, inspiration, and shared knowledge. Growers Love and see you all in the next update, where this beautiful lady may finally decide it’s time to join her sister and begin the next stage of her adventure. 🌱💚

Flipped 6/2/23. Got to about week four and noticed the smacks X 41gs and the gmo X guava biscotti had Hermed. Decided that my best course of action is to let them go outside.

Another week gone by already, I’m a little late getting this up this week as I was busy harvesting my other tent. Turned my air conditioner off this week because I’m pretty sure it is blowing on my one plant too much and causing some issues. Also don’t need it anymore since summer is over and temps are stable again without it. I also was forced to turn my light down again to 600w as my buds were showing signs of too much light, they have been in 600w now for a couple days and they are starting to show normal bud development again. We are into the 6th week now and gonna push them 9 prob I’m thinking, still lots of time for these girls to fatten up. That’s it till next week, Cheers💨

It's time to flip 'em. I'm slowly turning the light off an hour earlier each day so at the end of the week they'll be running at a 12/12 cycle. #3 is clearly more of a indica dominant pheno. As it is much more bushy. The main branch split off in 2, so it apparently topped itself. It's a bit smaller than the other 2, but it's doing good nonetheless. Can't wait to start seeing some pistils. See you next week!

This pretty lady filled up the tent beautifuly, she will probably stay under 45 cm until finish so she should be comfortable inside the small VGrow. She is still looking very healthy and I have to trim a few leafs once every couple of days. Very excited to see how her buds look like.

Ladies are doing great, finally fixed the pH problem, so the lockout should be fixed. Great growth, amazingly icy buds, especially pheno #1 is looking incredible. Smells of sour cherry candy with some hints of that gelato too.
