thanks for stopping by Syd and Ncali...
these seeds were made in 2011, and were less consistently bred toward the nepalese side than the current releases.
for example, here's what i'm assuming is my most nepalese-leaning plant today...
rich dark coffee cocoa earthy hashy aroma coming off her now.
she's heading toward keeper status.
and this is what i'm assuming is my most jam blue mtn-leaning plant today (AKA the runt)...
top view of her...
you're probably going to see far more consistently faster-flowering, richly-aroma'd
phenos like the top plant than the bottom in the current release of nepJam.
last week i wondered what my water supply's pH was...
did a google search,
and got this...
https://www.portlandoregon.gov/water/article/652355
"Portland’s water is currently treated to be at a pH of 8.2.
The pH of Portland’s water can vary by a small amount in the distribution system,
but it generally ranges from about 7.4 to 8.4, with a median value of 7.8 to 8.1."
kinda high.
since then i've been putting the water thru a brita filter,
which reduces the pH by 1-2,
and the plants are a lot happier for it.
last week's vs this week's group pic...
the runt (top row left in the left pic, leftmost in the right pic) really turned
around and is looking like it could eventually turn larger than the rest.
began looking thru the early posts of the mother Nepalese Jam thread here today,
which dealt with the earliest releases of NepJam (from F1 on),
to see if any one else had a pheno like "the runt" i've got here,
and ran into this post by Grandad...

bottom line- if you're growing nepJam in soil,
help optimize its performance by finding out what
your water supply pH is, and treat accordingly.
EDIT: dubi provided this pH advice way back in 2008, from...
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.php?p=1482231&postcount=114
"Calibrate PH around 6.5-6.8 but not higher than 7,
it is best range for cannabis growing organicaly in soil.
The more stable PH inside correct range,
the more nutrients will be able to absorb." :ENDEDIT

the two most nep-leaning, and two most jam-leaning,
were up-potted to 2gal smart pots a little over a week ago.
the remaining four will stay in their 1liter/quart pots.
(you never know if the real gems in a
selection are plants you weren't expecting).
top row:
left, the most nep-leaning, NJ2, is developing more girth/density (for a bonsai
).
right, the most jam-leaning (aka the runt), NJ7, has the longest INL now, since coming out of her runt-ness...
bottom row, left, is the other "nep-leaner", NJ1.
it was the first to declare sex, M or F, by several days.
and is the frost champ, by quite a margin,
covering stems, leaf undersides, etc...
besides being less bud-dense, she's also lighter
green and more sour woody vegetal-smelling than her
rich coffee/cocoa-smelling fellow nep-leaning sister, NJ2.
NJ1's pistils are longer and more thin/whispy
than NJ2's more chunky and shorter ones.
NJ1 is an interesting mix of characteristics from both parental lines.
bottom row, right, in the top pic is this unique "orange peel and clove"-smelling pheno, NJ6...
it was second-to-last to declare sex, only ahead of the runt; pistil development is slow.
but the leaf shape/formations around the top of the plant remind me of
those found on my deep chunk-leaning Panama DC plants a few years ago.
most unique-smelling of the bunch by quite a margin,
reminding me very much of...

almost 6wks after summer equinox, at 45.5N latitude:
assumed most nep-leaning,
recently starting up some fox-tails...
a jam-leaner,
upper INLs and side-branching stretching out...
a hybrid between the two,
very unique orange peel and clove aroma.
knotty leaves and stems around
the stalk required some trimming.
compact, but most christmas tree-shaped...

two most nep-leaning, NJ1 and NJ2:
NJ1 last week, 8wks from summer solstice (at 45.5N latitude)...
...and yesterday (9wks from solstice)...
she's about ready to come down. mostly cloudy trichs, with some amber coming on.
she was the first to reveal sex, and is the frostiest of the two nep-leaners.
but she's also lighter green, more slender (and slender pistil'd) and less beefy than her nep-leaning sister, NJ2...
here at 8wks post-solstice...
...and yesterday, 9wks post-...
she has a mix of clear and cloudy trichs now.
NJ1 will probably come down this weekend, and NJ2 looks like it needs another week or so.
after harvest these girls will be put into re-veg, and i'll do a final selection after a smoke test later on.

NJ1 came down 2 days ago. the only nep-leaner remaining,
and the one that seems more classically nep, is NJ2; today...
she's putting on more trich-coverage, tho' still not up to
her faster-finishing, and more sativa hybrid-ish in plant
structure, now-harvested NJ1 sister; and her re-vegetable...
she rx'd a top-dressing of alfalfa meal, and light N,
while sitting under three flood-light style LED lights, 24/7.
the bright lights highlight the milkiness of the trichs.
NJ2 is browning out her pistils earlier than the trichs change,
a quality the nepJam i grew in '11 had. NJ1 was quicker to
brown her trichs than many of her pistils. i actually wish i took
her a day or two earlier. looking forward to seeing
how fast her re-veg/clone finishes if she's a keeper.
the 2 remaining nepJams are the jam-leaners.
(i tossed the four more in-between
hybrid phenos for various reasons,
including the orange-clove pheno)
the runt, which was the last to reveal its sex,
has the most red-leaning leaf stems...
about the only nep-leaning quality she seems to have is the (leaning on very) compact structure.
NJ3 (third to reveal sex) has the most sativa-leaning structure,
in a INL sense, but she still seems to have a few nep-leaning
traits lingering too, like darker-green, heavier/denser leaves,
and her leaf stem color leans a little more purple...
interesting to see how the different parental traits have been mixed around,
like a highly-shuffled deck of cards, in this 2011 (F4-5) NepJam release.

NJ2 came down today, around 10wks after solstice.
the two remaining nepJams are these jam-leaners:
NJ3 is ahead in the swollen calyx dept...
...as well as having a greater percentage
of brown pistils compared to NJrunt...
