Jackie is starting to grow on me. What I really mean, is that her being an auto-period is growing on me. I was talking to my wife yesterday, and I think we decided that I’ll try ONLY auto-periods for the next grow.
I like not having to worry about the plant getting too big! Besides little Jackie here, I have a grow room filled with giants this time around, and I’m tired!
Enough blabbering on. Today Jackie received the second half of the solution I prepared for her the other day. I may need to start giving her some more, because today she took half a gallon of solution, but didn’t have any runoff at all.
She received:
CALiMAGic - 2 ml
FloraMicro - 4.7 ml
FloraGro - 3.8 ml
FloraBloom - 8.5 ml
Floralicious Plus - 2 ml
Liquid KoolBloom - 2 ml
The pH was 6.3, and was not adjusted. Like I said above, she didn’t have any runoff, so nothing to report today as far as runoff pH.
The tent temperature was 84.4F, and humidity was 45%.
She’s doing wonderful, and is full of pistils! I can’t wait to try her when she’s ready.
Happy growing everyone!

I had to do some power washing outside today, so Jackie was one of the lucky plants that I actually had time to feed today once I finished up.
I was contemplating giving her more than half a gallon today because she didn’t give me any runoff two days ago. However, today she gave me a sufficient amount of runoff with just half a gallon. 🤷♂️ I guess she’s a finicky girl.
Today I mixed a gallon of water with the same nutrient level that she received the other day. I say that so you can look at the note above to see what she received without typing it out again here.
The solutions pH was 6.3, and didn’t need to be adjusted.
Her runoff pH was 5.9.
The tent temperature was 82.2F, and the humidity was 55%.
I’m truly in love with her size! I’ve seen a lot of other auto-period plants that seem to only grow a single branch. I’ve always been of the opinion that auto-periods weren’t really worth the effort, but she has changed my mind!
She’s smaller than ALL of my other plants, but her branches, nodes, and pistil development is absolutely wonderful!! I’m actually looking forward to doing nothing but auto-periods for my next grow. I hope all of my future auto’s are as awesome as she is!
Happy growing everyone!

Jackie received the other half gallon of the solution I made the other day for her and she took it happily and gave back a sufficient amount of runoff for my efforts.
Jackie received:
CALiMAGic - 2 ml
FloraMicro - 4.7 ml
FloraGro - 3.8 ml
FloraBloom - 8.5 ml
Floralicious Plus - 2 ml
Liquid KoolBloom - 2 ml
pH going in was 6.3, and the runoff pH was 5.8. I’m still not messing with my TDS meter. I already have enough frustration in my life!
The tent has gotten super crowded since Stella’s Cuatro moved in! Jackie is the smallest plant among a group of giants, but she’s still doing wonderful! I’m contemplating moving her to my smaller tent where only 2 plants are currently flowering, but both of those will be getting bigger fast!
🤷 Whats one to do? I’ll decide at some point and you all will find out when and if it happens.
The tent temperature was 84.2F, and the humidity was 41%.
Take care all, and happy growing everyone!

Today marks the final day of week 6. She should be about half way done right now since Exotic Seed Co. says that her growth cycle is 12 weeks from seed to harvest. All I know is that she’s looking wonderful right now. Such a lovely little plant!
We are still the mid-bloom level nutrients, so they are the same as 2 days ago.
Today I mixed another gallon of solution and gave her half. The solution had a pH of 6.4 once everything was mixed up and wasn’t adjusted.
She had plenty of runoff with a pH of 5.9. The temperature was 85.1F, and humidity was 54%. She’s doing great, but is the only small plant that I’m growing right now, but her size doesn’t bother me. I actually love it! She has lots of nodes with outstanding pistil development, and I can’t wait to see how her buds are going to look once she matures some more.
Till next time. 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.
