I have read that big bud is wierd some times ..but i guess you prob know that since you have the NL cross variety. I have some fruity sativas right now that started a little thin compared to some Jack Herer x white widow i had all 4 of which turned to male while i got 3/4 female with my fruity friends . Damn i don't know why i even just wrote that since it's obvious why sativa vs. sativa/indica cross. What did you grow prev. Maybe that is why. Maybe you grew a more haevily indica plants before. But anyway now my fruity sativas are pretty thick at jsut over about 2' and 6th week flowering and scrogging. And on a side note just for fun.... scrogging has got me so many more bud sites than i anticipated. love love ,love woo hoo!!!!!!

hey sativa where did u get those jackxwwbeans at ?that sounds like a great strain

[SativaTrip]

for cabby48 ---- they were willyjack seeds which are f2's and i didn't expect miracles abvoiusly due to the growth variation with f2's but damn they def. were not stable and they had really really slow veg. growth . I had some nube probs but i planted the sativa's in the same enviroment and they grew great and i haven't had any probs with them . I messed up some germination with about 3 seeds and then had about three fatalities due to some bad soil water absorbsion vs. heat in a small place and so on and so on. But dude honestly i don't think that the strains was working as i do not see it lised too much for willyjack seeds anymore. good growing everyone!!!
