Today is the 1st day of week 9, as well as the beginning of the Ripening stage of growth! Now, I made my plan according to Exotic Seed’s timeline of “12 weeks from seed to harvest”. I learned to trust them from a previous grow, and my mistake in NOT listening. I learned to listen, and heed their instructions.
Jackie is still doing wonderful! I have zero complaints about her.
I’ve been having issues with getting the right pH lately, but I have a plan, so I won’t bore you with the details.
As I mentioned above, today starts the ripening nutrients. They were mixed into a gallon of water, of which Jackie received half.
FloraMicro - 5 ml
FloraBloom - 15 ml
Floralicious Plus - 1 ml
Dry KoolBloom - 0.5 tsp
Initial pH - 5.4. I added a total of 9 ml’s of pH UP over 3 separate increments which adjusted the pH to 6.3.
The runoff was 5.4. I’m going to switch out H2O jugs to see if it fixes the issue.
The tent was 81.7F with a humidity of 56%.
Jackie is still a gem! Happy growing everyone.

I’m going to try and stay brief today. Jackie is still the most beautiful plant in my grow room right now. I have no complaints or concerns about her which is nice.
She received the 2nd half of the ripen nutrients and water I mixed for her a couple of days ago. The pH going in was 6.3, and her runoff pH was 5.5.
The nutrients given were listed out on the 7/16/22 note if you’re curious.
The tent was 80.5F with humidity at 70%. Now, the hygrometer had fallen over and was laying on its display when I first picked it up and looked at it. The reading was what is listed above, but after taking her out to feed her, I sat the hygrometer down correctly. When I came to open the tent to get some of the other plants out to feed, it read differently. Temp was 83.3F, with humidity at 58%.
Which is correct? 70% humidity would be higher than history shows, so I’m leaning more toward the 58%. 🤷
She’s doing great regardless. Happy growing everyone!

Jackie had to go an extra day without water again, but you can’t tell. She continues to be awesome, and her smell has kicked into another gear! Lovely!!
She’s keeping with the ripen nutrients, and today received a half gallon of solution from the gallon I made for her. She received:
FloraMicro - 5 ml
FloraBloom - 15 ml
Floralicious Plus - 1 ml
Dry KoolBloom - .5 tsp
The initial pH was 5.2. I added 12 ml’s of pH UP which adjusted it to 6.2. She gave back plenty of runoff with a pH of 5.5.
The tent was 83.9F, and humidity was 52%.
I’m just adding some closeup pics of her buds today. I hope you enjoy them.
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.
