Sir Jack Auto

6/4/22 Today starts week 3 for little Jackie, and I call her little because she’s still really small compared to the others in the tent with her. I have to remind myself that she started out from a seed, and the others are fully mature clones that tend to grow faster than new plants. Jackie is looking healthy, green and strong. I’m sure that her growth will pick up in a week or two. Today I switched to the Early Growth step 3 nutrients which are the same as step 2 which was started on 6/2/22. I mixed the nutrients into a gallon of water since she and Stella’s Cuatro are all at the same stage right now. She received 3 cups of the following solution: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 3.8 ml FloraGro - 5.7 ml FloraBloom - 2.8 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml The initial pH was 6.3 and was not adjusted. The TDS was 667 ppm. Runoff was sufficient, and pH was 5.9, and TDS was 3955 ppm. The tent temperature was 88F, and the humidity was somewhere in the 60% range before feeding, but I didn’t make a note of it at the time. The humidity afterwards was 86%. I’m sure it’s higher because 5 plants and 8 clones were fed in the interim. Jackie (Sir Jack Auto) is looking well, and I can’t wait for her to hit her stride and start growing a little more. It’s still early, so no worries. Happy growing everyone! 6/6/22 Jackie has grown a tiny bit more and is now 4.5 inches tall, and 14 inches under the light. Her structure is really tight and compact, which is a lot different than I’m used too. Her structure, although short and compact, is quite lovely to look at. Today she received the last 3 cups of the solution I made a couple of days ago using the early growth stage. The pH going in was 6.3, and TDS was 667 ppm. The runoff was sufficient, and the pH was 6.0, and TDS 3261 ppm. The humidity was astronomical again today at 91%. I said, “Enough of this sh!t!”, and installed the carbon filter and blower to knock it down and improve ventilation. The tent temperature was 86F, which is also high, but not too terrible. I didn’t take any pics today, but I will tomorrow or the next day so you can all see how she’s doing. Until then; happy growing everyone! 6/7/22 Jackie is still doing well, and today she received 4 cups of some freshly made solution. To note; my TDS meter stopped working properly today, so I won’t be adding any TDS data till it’s fixed or replaced. I started using the Early Growth step 3 of my feed chart today. Her new nutrient levels are as follows: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 5.7 ml FloraGro - 7.6 ml FloraBloom - 3.8 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml The initial pH was 6.1. I added 1.5 ml of pH UP which adjusted the pH to 6.5. Runoff pH was 5.9. The tent had been running warm, and the humidity was out of control, so I installed the carbon filter and blower yesterday. Today the temperature was 82F, and the humidity was a much more manageable 54%. Jackie is still doing well, and I hope she continues that way. Take care, and happy growing everyone! 6/9/22 Well, it appears that Jackie has a mind of her own, and has decided to start flowering already! I told her that she was too small, but she just gave me the finger and said, “Up yours!” What can one do when she’s an auto-period? Nothing but just take it I guess. Jackie is still the shortest plant I have growing right now at only 6.5 inches tall. My other two plants that are flowering in my big tent are 40.5 inches tall, and 26.5 inches tall. Seeing a plant flower at 6.5 inches is a first for me. She is my first auto-period plant after all. Suffice it to say, today is the last time she gets this level of nutrients. I feel like I’m so far behind the ball. It’s the first time a plant fooled me this bad. I didn’t even know until I defoliated her today. She wasn’t that bad, but she was looking a little bushy for her size. When I took the leaves away, fed her, them came back to see her again after several hours; she was beautiful!! I have never seen such a tiny thing look so nice. You can see for yourself in the pics. I had just increased her nutrients to the Early Growth step 3 two days ago. The joke is on me. Today she received 6 cups of the following mixed into a gallon of water: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 5.7 ml FloraGro - 7.6 ml FloraBloom - 3.8 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml Ph going in was 6.5. The runoff pH was 6.0. I didn’t get any TDS data due to my meter being weird. The temperature in the tent was 79F, and the humidity was 65%. She begins sleeping in the big tent tonight (6/10) with the big girls. She needs her 12 hours of sleep! Happy growing everyone!
