Any Jack Herer Growers out there thant can awnser my question??

Hi

I am growing Jack Herer and a little worried that they are gonna out grow my grow tent ! ,. In veg i let them grow to 23 inches (from bottom of pot is 36 inches)... and then turned them to flower , they are now 27 inches and only been in flower for 3 days!, My tent is only 78 inches high,.
Will these plants slow down or will they continue to grow at that rate? I have about 24 inches spare which will leaves me around 12 inches between the light and plant,
Will it out grow?? if so what should i do ???

Cheers Kev

what lights are you using.the general rule is they grow two to four times the size during flower.

I'm sure its gonna test the size of your growing space! But it will be worth it :)

The seeds are quite expensive so I'l wait till I have more experience growing before I get them.

Currently growing some Blue Cheese wish me luck :)

Hope you dont need to cut it, you prob wont, some stop growing at around 60" from what I read and have seen.

I'm lucky that my grow room (closet) is quite large, 96"/8ft tall - not that I'l need that for my strain haha

And btw, how strong does it smell flowering? do you use a carbon filter or anything?

:hippy:

Cor mate yeah they well smell lol, Lucky enough yeah i do have a carbon filter , but will be useless if i cut the top off , I hope they do stop about 60" , i should be fine with that,.
I'll stick a pick on in about 5 hours , thats when me light comon , u can have a look ya self and see what you think

I grew Jack for about 2 years and I'll tell you this.. It's a strain that has more stretch than Rubber Band Man! Just bend the larger stalks over to the side and let them do what they do.. A little LST goes along way! Esspecially when you have worries of them getting too tall. You'll have some of the best smoke ever!:thumbsup::jointsmile::stoned:

DO NOT CUT THE TOP OUT!:thumbsup:

With the high percentage of sativa, they kinda stretched out like a tape measure... For Real! Nodes got closer together.. When the stretch stopped.. Hell... That was almost 3 weeks.. Had to bend them over.. I had the room for 16 at that time. Only holds 10-12 now,but thats cramped.. Less works better for air circulation. Had alot of issues with nute lock out and necrosis,as well as spidermites.. That strain took me to NEW levels.. Shew.... I miss that kinda stress!:jointsmile: I called it Pepper Jack? Right?

Great lil' set-up!!:thumbsup: Lemme suggest 1 thing.. Gotta ask this first.. Is that a passive intake comin' from the top? If it is then you would get more out of the passive intake as far as having it stay a lil' cooler for longer periods if it were at the bottom..

If the hood has glass,then drop it down some.. It'll help with the stretch. You got a T-stat in the tent,runnin' the fan?

Your gonna have plenty of room to get those gurls finished!:thumbsup: Way more height than I was workin' with,when I grew them out.

Thanx mate!! :thumbsup
Yes it is an intake mate , the only reason i have it there is so that the fan blows the cold air at the light to cool it , i did have it at the bottom to start with , but i found it was a little hotter there,. No the hood doesnt have a glass sheild, i will invest in one soon tho ,.
What is a T-stat mate ? lol

I've grown Jack Herer a few times, and it does stretch quite a bit in the first 2-3 weeks of flowering. It actually grew too high in one case and I lopped off the top buds and dried them for early use, leaving the remainder of the plant to finish in it's own time.

The early stuff was a bit harsh, (they didn't get flushed to clear ferts)but did the job, and the plant did just fine with the new top buds. I didn't want the bending, because I'm sort of tight on space all around, so it wouldn't have helped.
