“Jackie” is looking lovely as she starts out on her journey of life. If you have read the germination week; you’ll know that she is the first “auto-flowering” cultivar that I am attempting. I have no idea about timeline, growth to expect, or when she is meant to flip herself into flower. No idea! She is a completely new learning experience for me.
I’m up for the challenge!
Jackie is still going to be using the seedling level nutrients for the time being till she starts developing a little more. Today she received .5 (1/2) cup of the following nutrients mixed into a half gallon of water.
FloraMicro - 1.3 ml
FloraGro - 1.3 ml
FloraBloom - 1.3 ml
The pH was 6.4, and TDS was 390 ppm. Once again, the runoff pH was .1 higher than the pH going in at 6.5. The runoff TDS was 2332 ppm.
The tent temp was pleasant at 78.7F, and humidity was 65%.
I’m keeping my hopes high! Pun totally intended!! Happy growing everyone!

Jackie is still looking lovely, and once again received 1/2 cup of the seedling level nutrients I mixed for her the other day.
I’m not going to list all of the nutrients again until I use all the current solution and make more. FYI, it’s already listed in the previous note above.
Runoff was of sufficient quantity, and the pH was 6.6, and TDS was 2391 ppm.
The tent temp was 76.5F, and humidity was 74%.
Happy growing everyone!

Today is the last day of her first week, and I must say that I’m not all that excited or happy with her progress. She’s hardly growing at all, but since she’s my first auto-period plant, I don’t know what to expect. 🤷
I mixed another half gallon of water with the seedling level nutrients again today. So she received 1.3 ml’s of FloraMicro, FloraGro, and FloraBloom.
The initial/final pH level was 6.3, and TDS was 412 ppm.
Runoff pH was 6.1, and TDS was 2257 ppm.
Tent temperature was 78.1F, and humidity was 59%.
I need to set up another tent to continue her grow till she begins to flower so I can flip my 2 more mature plants tomorrow or the next day. One of her potential clones is still looking pretty good, but the other I’m not so sure about. Only time will tell.
Happy growing everyone!
@Exotic_Seed,
I’ve been trying to contact you, but my attempts have gone unanswered. Please let me know how and where you would like me to contact you.
@Exotic_Seed,
Thank you for checking back in. I always wondered how other growers diaries were “approved by” the seed bank.
I guess one just needs to do a good job and the rest handles itself. I’m glad that you all approve.
Stay tuned though! My next grow season is going to be:
Strawberry Cola - auto &
Purple Monkey - auto.
