Hi
I've got an old Jack Herer cut. Strong, big producer and generally impressive, it is one of the best things I've ever had.
This is the JH cut at 8 weeks in coco:
Last summer I pollinated it with a Mextiza male, and I got a lot of seeds out of it. Mextiza is a very unique stinky sativa hybrid, and the reason I choose this plant to perform the pollination was its effect: it is very similar to the sativa-leaning stone of the Jack Herer, although its production is much lower.
After growing the seeds, I can say they have resulted in very very homogeneous pretty plants who produced very good weed, with an effect very similar to the original JH and Mextiza plants.
These are the plants after just after 38 days at 12/12:
After getting that great result, I thought about backcrossing a male back to the Jack Herer in order to get plants more similar to the Jack Herer cut. Although I know it is impossible to reach the perfection of the original F1 cut, the good results I'm getting encourage me to make a try. I also know that continuous back crossing leads to worse plants, so I plan to do it once or maybe twice.
What do you think?
Cheers
