Sannies' Jack, Killing Fields + Jack Candy - Tropical Guerilla Grow
Just did a bean drop for the official Maria tropical guerilla grow in my new location.
The "tester" run was here, but I haven't even checked on them since putting them out...
Have been eyeing up Sannies' seeds for a long time.
Love the work he has done with the Jack Herer, creating his own F9 IBL Jacks!!!
And then a few other Jack crosses, like the Killing Fields.
Plus got Jack Candy (NAW, works with Sannie, I guess) for freebies.
Decided to drop 10 beans in total, prob going into 5 pots (2 beans / pot).
Leaving me with 7 Jack, 3 KF for future grows.
They're in little sponge pots, which Sannie recommends and I got sent with order.
Beans are:
JC -- JC -- JC
-- JC --- JC --
SJ -- SJ -- SJ
-- KF --- KF --
In they go!
Soaking in a little Bacto for healthy start to life.
Have saved a little more Bacto for transplanting.
Can check out some of Sannies' strains in his photo gallery here.
I'm not going to end up with anything like that in this wild guerilla grow, but nice inspiration!
Sannies Jack (reg, photo) is Sannies' F9 IBL from Sensi Jack Herer. Hasn't been crossed with anything else. So can be considered inbred line by now. Goes for about 11-13 weeks, supposed to be much more stable than Sensi Jack. Sannie seems to have bred it for single stem SoG or topped ScroG growing, especially at 12/12 from seed, or maybe just 1 week of 18/6. That's a reason why I think it should be good for my tropical climate at about 12/12 to 11/13 right through the grow.
Killing Fields (fem, photo) is up to about F8 by now, I think, so almost IBL. Originally a cross between The One and Sannies' Jack. The One is itself Blueberry Sativa X (Killa Queen X NYCD), so has a lot of the Jack also in the Killa Queen from C99. The Blueberry gives the purple pheno, I guess. If you search on Open Grow forum, there is an amazing thread from the breeder on his selection and breeding process. Excellent learning material for any wannabe pollen chuckers like myself, haha.
Jack Candy (reg, photo) are freebies only, seem to be a cross that hasn't made it to the shop, just freebies. Is Jack Hammer X Head Candy. Jack Hammer is Jack X Amnesia Haze, and Head Candy is Killa Queen X Blue Hammer. NAW breeder Poldergrower says it'll run about 11-12 weeks, sativa dominant pheno, pineapple flavor (maybe from the Jack?)
Assuming that these plants can make it through to harvest, or at least a few of them, should be able to get some females, and maybe a male, to make some crosses. There's enough Jack Herer in all three strains to get a nice Jack cross somewhere in there. Let's see.
Now... have a shopping list:

Now... have a shopping list:
- Cups for seedling growth. Will do "insta-planters".
- Soil mix, local stuff, a couple of bags.
- Some kind of pots or bags, maybe just 5 pots / bags @ 5-10 L each will be ok.
- Nappies -- to rip out some polyacrylate crystals for water retention.
- Some kind of bloom fert / nutes. No idea what at this point...
