Thanks. Yes I did for both but the third topping on #1 I left 3 tops because it was already growing asymmetrical, leaving it with 12 tops. #2 is mainlined with 8 tops. Both are getting frosty at 4 weeks.

Welcome connie420,
We have recently tested many Nepal Jam parental plants indoors grown under LEDs and they have not shown any hermie tendency. Stress, overfeeding and the abuse of flowering stimulators can also induce hermie tendencies in strains prone to it.
Nepal Jam had slight hermie tendencies years ago in its first generations of developing stage, especially when once (F4 stage) was reproduced outdoors by open pollination, but we have just finished a few months ago a huge new work of selection and improvement on the strain in its F6-F7 generations, and the hermie tendencies in all the females have been null, just one male showed some pistils under strong stress when he was revegging in the mother room and was immediately discarded.

Hi Psy_explorer,
That's correct, the Nepalese highland used in Nepal Jam originally came in seed form from Reeferman.
Glad your Nepal Jams are showing strong vigor despite the line is heavily inbred (at this stage she is between F6-F8 inbreeding generations).
If you really want to experience extreme vigor then you should try our pure sativa F1 hybrids

Hi Mountainkush,
Glad to see your Nepal Jam healthy and already in flowering.
Quoting DJ Short' words, latest modern Nepal Jam generations have mainly a growing behaviour of 'stretchy indica', this kind of structure allows correct indoor light penetration of wide leaved plants (in contrast with the more compact fat leaved indicas of short node length like Deep Chunk or Bubba Kush), but at the same time Nepal Jam has good branching and a tamed size so she has has very desirable structural traits to grow her indoors.

Love to hear that TexasTea
That's the purple, very early flowering, resinous Nepal jam pheno of refined creamy organic aromas, with the traits we have been breeding for the strain in latest generations.

Here is the top cola on my bushy little NepJam. Definitely got the purple pheno here. She is turning some nice colors right now, about 6 week or so into flower. Her flowers are starting to put on some weight and the smell is wonderful, very sweet and floral scent that is probably my best smelling plant so far this season. Hoping to replicate a past NepJam which was the wife's favorite for bedroom activities.

It seems that I’ve got the extremely purple phenotype. At first stages, the coloration was restricted to the veins and to some extent trought the stem. Now being expose to outer temperatures more consistently ( which are not extreme, being like 9C or 8C at dawning) is fully purple, except the section previous to the first node , the whole plant structure is purple/red. Stems, branches,under leaf..... just beautiful.
Hi Psy_explorer,
Modern Nepal Jam generations bred towards the purple Nepal Jam traits show slight pigmentation with warm stable temps, but the pigmentation is very intense when temps drop around 10ºC or below,as you have experienced. Glad you are enjoying with yours!

That sounds about right. My bubba x pck has a similar structure but more budsites/leaves and less light penetration.
Theses are perfect for indoor and I’m really enjoying them so far.
4 1/2 weeks flower
Nepjam#1 has larger calyx and is forming these tight little nugs. Sweet smell is getting stronger.
Nepjam#2 has much smaller calyx but more of them and is all pistils so far. The smell on this one is incredible already. Smells like this street weed I used get back in the late 90’s before strains had names in my area. I don’t remember what the high was like exactly but I’ll never forget that smell. Sweet with a little musk behind it maybe. I’m horrible at describing scents

#1 is turning purple on the edges of the fan leaves and the tips of the calyx just after the 5 week mark. Funny how this one was so green and the other purple, now it’s the opposite in flower.

Pistils started dying off in week 5. These are both 6 weeks old today and seem like they’re almost done. Is there a chance they will still reflower at all or is this about it?
Nepjam#1 looks done top to bottom
Nepjam#2 still a few white pistil on lower buds

I was under the impression these would reflower and put some wieght on in weeks 6-7. Should these be on plain water now(growing in coco) or should I give them some time and see what happens.

7 weeks and almost done. Still a couple buds maturing at the bottom. About 50/50 cloudy/clear.

i call my keeper cut of double jam (blue mtn jam x lambsbread) “the happiest weed in the world”.
i believe this aggressive anti-depressant quality comes from the blue mtn (the strain used in NepJam)
side of the cross, and which may have been further enhanced due to the crossing with the 'bread.
but, there’s very little energy (or relaxation) to go along with that supreme happiness. i’ve got pure sativas to cross to her to address the energetic side (e.g., a cbg durban selection), but i also want “that happy” attached to something laid back and easy going- so i’m cracking some old NepJam seeds (from around 2012) and going to seek the most compact and fast-finishing nepalese-leaners to do a “backcross plus” with the double jam.
really enjoyed the warm, clear/clean, happy, floaty-headed expansiveness
(AKA fun) i got from my NJ when i grew her out in 2012...
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.php?p=6100472&postcount=523
now just looking to inject even more anti-depressive happy into that effect.
PS here's how one of my (tom hill) X18 x NepJam started out last fall before the spider mite take-over...

PS here's how one of my (tom hill) X18 x NepJam started out last fall before the spider mite take-over...
started 17 NepJam seeds one week ago.
16 are up and running; not too bad for 2011 seeds*.
EDIT: the 17th seed rose above ground 8 days after the original 16,
who all uniformly rose above 3days after kick-off. 100% germination.
:ENDEDIT
narrowest- and broadest-leaved so far...
going to be looking for the most nep-leaning for crossing with my doubleJam keeper...
DJ keeper in re-veg
dec. '18
...and most jam-leaning for crossing with (cbg) durban and fast/compact purp OT haze selections.
hope to get something approaching F1-like hybrid vigor from the NJ x durb and NJ x POTH crosses.
(also plan to cross the durban and POTH)
will be putting them into flower soon to ID and lose the males, as well as plants that aren't at the extreme ends of the nep-jam continuum.
then put the remaining (~2-4) back into veg (without fully flowering them out) for doing final selecting/crossing work later.
thanks to the quickness of nepjam, this process shouldn't take too long.
all crossing work will be done in the feminized way.
as don't have the time/space for properly testing males.
* NepJam's development at that point (2011), per: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.php?p=4918238&postcount=7
"...may be an F4, not exactly, there is a backcross in the middle as well, lets say 4-5 steps and/or selections to present stage. Jamaica is taller plant so you must select against monster size dominance and other traits to fix them well and slowly model its whole structure. Nepalese also showed different phenos at first generations and I chose only smaller plants there. Takes little time to stabilize certain traits in this type of hybrids.

Nepal Jam #4 F6 Phylos genotype report
Nepal Jam #4 F6 Phylos genotype report
The genotype report of the colorful, resinous, very early flowering Nepal Jam #4 F6 parental plant of refined, creamy and sweet terpenes and warm pleasant psychoactivity is available on Phylos website:
https://phylos.bio/sims/variety/PGT-193091/ace-seeds/nepal-jam-4-f6
stating Nepal Jam has a unique genotype not related to any other genotype/plant submitted on Phylos Galaxy, confirming the line is currently quite inbred/stabilized (with low genetic variation).
This is the Nepal Jam parental plant i selected in 2014, which has been used as the base for the breeding of latest Nepal Jam generations, selecting always towards the desirable traits previously mentioned. She is also the NJ parental plant used for the production of our latest Nepal Jam fem hybrids released in the latest years: Orient Express x Nepal Jam, Red Sapphire, Zamal Bliss, Honduras Breeze, etc ....
Current Nepal Jam releases have been bred at least 2 generations further than this F6 parental plant, so i expect Nepal Jam is now even more stable than this genotype reports states.
