i tried running jock horror, still got some seeds
had a hard time getting a seed to take, several died on the way
got 1 plant to grow, a male, crap
so a cut of the tops to get the blooms in a pollen isolation chamber
pollen wouldn't ripen, but the cut up male started throwing pistils all over the place
so genetics seem a little weird
2010, that's about when I also got Nirvana Cali Orange Bud (thanks for reminding me of the name.) I agree, excellent taste and effect (and yield!). But I didn't find it to be difficult at all, using basic 9/6 nutrients in hempy buckets. Maybe I just got a couple good phenos, or maybe it's the difference in our respective water sources.
Why was it a bastard to grow for you, Pinball Wizard?
just in case you guys don't know, there are a fair number of people who post looking for the old cali orange.. i don't know if that's 2010, but you can make some friends i bet if it is.
Anyone have any input regarding Nirvana Jock Horror phenotypes?
I'm running a couple at the moment, and I have one leaning so heavily towards the haze end of things, that I'm contemplating re-vegging it.
I've also grown Delicious Seeds Critical Jack Herer, and the aroma that I'm getting from my Nirvana Jock Horror is eerily similar. It's a really funky aroma that moves back and fourth between smelling like pepper, peanuts, and some sort of woodsy aroma. This aroma is nothing like the typical cannabis aroma. Smells nothing like cannabis to be exacty, at least the flowers don't.
I've read over and over again that Jock Horror is nothing like Jack Herer, but all I can think of right now it Jack Herer with this thing. The strains that make up the Jock are essentially the same as those that make up Jack am I right? Maybe not the exact phenotypes, but the same strains right?
Whatever is going on, it's weird but I like it. If things continue to go the way I anticipate them to with this aroma, I expect it to finish up VERY woodsy and very haze like.
I'll keep posting in this thread until I get my post count up, and can post some pics.
I'm also running an EXTERMELY piney pheno of the Nirvana Jock Horror.
It's VERY piney with skunk undertones. A little on the stretching end of things, but nothing too bad. I've read about this pheno(or a similar pheno) in a few different places on the net, so I know it's common, but I've seen nothing of this haze dominant, peppery/woodsy pheno.
