The culmination of 4 month's work courtesy of Jack's: 401 grams / 14.32 ounces final dry weight from 4 plants under 1 600w hps.

I am incredibly impressed with my results with Jack's and at this point I don't know if I'm going to complete my maxi bloom experiment. The bud is potent, smooth, and full of flavor just like the soil grows I've done in the past. I almost hit my 1 pound mark even though I poorly managed my lower branches and canopy. I'm a big fan of the saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

If you smoked a bowl of this and I told you it was grow in organic super soil, you wouldn't know the difference. It's really that good.

I gave plain water twice spread out over 4 days before harvest and that was all. I think flushing is a bit of a myth at this point. 2 plain water cycles is all I ever did with my soil plants either, so hydro doesn't appear to respond any differently. I'll continue this routine.

I'll post some dried bud shots later today. If anybody out there is on the fence about Jack's, I can assure you it's a solid performer and you will achieve high end top shelf results. You'll also feel better about doing it because you didn't get ripped off by a hydro store. Hopefully my 100% perlite girls achieve the same results. Time will tell.

Jack's fucking rocks! Just order the shit...

Did you use any other nutrients with Jack 321

Lovin jacks also :) I'm o my second grow with it.. nothing but jacks.
Jack's is a workhorse. I wouldn't use anything else moving forward. It produced top notch bud that is incredibly potent. The weight was the most I've ever harvested also from my 4 plant grows under a single 600w. I am more than satisfied.

This is what it all looks like. Covered in trichomes and sparkling from head to toe. The smoke is smooth with a strong hash flavor. I wet trimmed most, but 1/4 of the harvest I just clipped the fan leaves and hung the branches from a string on the ceiling. This is my preferred method now. The branches dry slower and you don't lose as much resin to your fingers in the trimming process. It was also easier to remove the leaves dry than to wet trim. I can't imagine I'll ever wet trim again.

I'm doing a 5'x5' scrog net for my next flower cycle to see if I can crack the 1lb mark. Made in Michigan - powered by Jack's!

Floralicous plus is the only additive I used and I used it from start to finish. It's just kelp, humic acid, beneficials, and some molasses if I remember correctly. Nothing revolutionary, but it's a solid product.
That's funny I was gonna say use floralicious plus right when I saw this. I've been growing in coco with it awhile and everyone says it tastes like a soil grow. I recently switched from canna to jacks and also use slf 100 and recharge once a week. Nice looking grow man

I've got 4 gg#4 clones I'm flowering in 5 gallon coco hempy buckets that I'm feeding with Jack's 5-12-26, calcium nitrate, and epsom salt. This is Jack's 321 system. I'm flowering under 1 600 W HPS in an air cooled hood and I have the light 8" from the canopy. The buds are dense, sticky, and very smelly. I have concerns though that I am losing yield due to my fertilizer feeding regimen in flower.

I snapped several pictures to show the bud size and plant health in hopes that somebody can tell me whether or not this flower size is typical for gg#4 or if mine are below average. The final dry weight is the only thing that matters, but I'd like some input from other growers that have run gg#4. I looked at a thread on icmag that was all gg#4 bud shots and some had large colas and some didn't. I really didn't see consistent flower sizes in the sample pics I looked at. Some were very large colas and some were relatively small but covered in trichomes.

Jack's recommends running the same fertilizer in veg through flower which is what I've done. I think continuing to feed calcium nitrate may have impacted my plants flower size negatively, and if my final weight is not at least 14 ounces then I will no longer run Jack's in flower. I have a small bag of Maxi Bloom I just snagged off amazon and will switch to it on my next flower cycle. That's only if my weight is off. The buds are very dense and if you squeeze one there is no give - they're rock solid. Without the large colas that I'm use to seeing, I just don't know if I'm going to hit my 14 ounce goal.

I did grow some hash plant years ago that grew buds like this though, and the shit was amazing. It was just a genetic trait the way that strain produced flowers. I'm hoping maybe this gg#4 is the same, but I have my doubts. Pics....
Want bigger and harder buds? Put a bigger light over the grow. It’s actually that simple with photoperiod plants.

You should crack that threshold. My last 2 x 4 SCROG yielded me nearly 1 lb - using blurples.
That's good action man. I have the net about 80% full right now and plan to flip to 12/12 on Sunday. I would wait until the net was 100% full but this strain stretches a lot and I'm trying not to fill the outer perimeter of the net because the light won't hit that area very well. In the winter I'll be running 2 600's side by side which will cover the entire net nicely. Scrogging is great so far. It spreads the plant out creating more bud sites and it acts as a support so you don't have to use garden stakes. I fucking hate staking, so that alone gets me excited. Today's pics...
