Yes it is. From female seeds. I'd guess ES is good gainst mold too. Anyways, I'm sure it'll be good.

Also- i will be crossing this with various types. do you think this would mix well with Early Pearl (i.e. improve suitability for northern latitudes)?

Good day Grandad,

Nepalese Jam is not a sensible N plant. Other ace strains like Orient Express, Panama love real high N levels, Nepalese Jam needs less N but would be hard to overfeed her with 'normal' feeding.

Bio bizz products are indeed lovely organic fertilizers, NPK levels are not very strong so it's hard to overfeed working with them (at least, if your soil/guano mix is not very very strong). Bio Bizz fertilizers make your plants produce lovely taste and great terpene quality.

New Nepalese Jam you are growing is a backcrossed nepalese line and should react quite uniform when outcrossed to other inbred lines.

I hope it helps. dubi

Love the look of these plants so far. Thick stems, long internodes, 2x stretch. How long will the NepJams take to flower?

Dubi, I've got to ask, is there anything special that NJ likes in its environment? I've got a few NJs at 28 days old and theyre barely 5-6cms tall. I just cant get these things to grow, are they extremmely sensitive to pH or nutrients? i've got lots of light, good soil and good temps, I just cant figure it out. My pH might have been slightly out of whack but I cant imagine that alone would slow growth up this much. I really wanted to throw them into 12/12 at 30 days but it looks like they will be vegging to 5-6 weeks minimum.

Hi Iron Lion. I found the Nep Jam more sensitive than most to PH.

The PH of my water here is high (around 7.5) - it always has been but I only discovered this recently when problems manifesting in my Neps forced me to address it. These problems only manifested slightly at later stages with other varieties, if at all.

With Nep Jam I got crinkled bronze patches spreading up from the bottom. At least it forced me to sort the problem! I got ph down and monitor my PH carefully and they've been fast growers since then.

What pH do you run? I think my meter was slightly out of whack so my plants were getting water with approx 6.8, growth is very slow. Im going to try lowering my pH to a legitimate 6.5 in hopes that things improve. I am very excited to smoke this strain thats why im a little bummed I'll have to veg a little longer.

I bring the PH of my water down to aound 6.8 (I use an acquarium water testing kit- havent got around to getting a phg stick yet). This should be ok AFIK- maybe Dubi has some info here.

Actually the leaves on my Nep Jam have just started cupping upwards slightly for some reason (the lights are off right now so I cant get a pic- will add one later)- as I said these seem very sensitive to their environment- compared to the other varieties I have on the go.

As has been stated already they shoot up when flowered so don't grow them too big before switching!

here's a photo of my nep jam male (on the left), along with an orient express male (on the right) taken a few weeks ago.

All of mine doubled in height, from Veg to flower.

Nice plants, how old are they? size lights?

[Grandad]

they were maybe 4.5/ 5 weeks old when this was taken, started under 250 w light. Got any pics of yours?
