Jealousy

Jealousy or Balanced Hybrid (approx. 50/50 to slightly Indica-leaning) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 24% – 30% and CBD levels ranging from < 1%. Known for its Fuel, funk, and cream with notes of citrus and pepper. profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being Medium (Indoor: 3–4.5 ft / Outdoor: 5–6 ft) in height, with a nutrient demand that is High; responds well to heavy feeding in mid-flower..

This Balanced Hybrid (approx. 50/50 to slightly Indica-leaning) is of the Genetype: Photoperiod. The Jealousy strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Jealousy in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Balanced Hybrid (approx. 50/50 to slightly Indica-leaning) is 6.2 – 6.7 and 5.7 – 6.2 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Jealousy needs to maintain a target temperature of 72°F – 82°F (22°C – 28°C) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 60% – 70%, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Balanced Hybrid (approx. 50/50 to slightly Indica-leaning) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Jealousy needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Jealousy is 18/6 for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Jealousy will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 70°F – 78°F (21°C – 25°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 45% – 55% is achieved, the Balanced Hybrid (approx. 50/50 to slightly Indica-leaning) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Photoperiod is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 12/12 for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Jealousy is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered High; excellent for Topping and Mainlining..

The most exciting phase, when growing Photoperiod is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Jealousy will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 74°F (Cooler nights for color) and 35% – 45% so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Jealousy is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Balanced Hybrid (approx. 50/50 to slightly Indica-leaning) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Vigorous lateral growth; produces rock-hard, dark purple buds.

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Notes
Stretch Factor: Jealousy has a moderate stretch during the first two weeks of flower. If you are growing in a height-restricted space, ensure you flip to flower when the plant is roughly 40% of your final desired height.

The "Purpling" Trick: This strain is genetically predisposed to turn dark purple/black. To maximize this "bag appeal," drop your night-time temperatures to around 60°F–62°F during the final 14 days of flower.

Airflow Management: Because the buds become incredibly dense and "greasy" with resin, the risk of Botrytis (bud rot) is real. Keep your Phase 3 humidity strictly below 45% and ensure you have active airflow under the canopy.

Training Advice: She loves to be "lollipopped." Remove the wispy bottom growth early in flower to ensure the plant directs all its energy to the massive top colas.
