SplishSploosh 31/03/26 - Started the glass water method! THIS IS A WINDOWSILL modest attempt at growing a healthy plant that isn't for optimal growth! Ive seen so many diaries with awesome expensive setups developed optimised plants, but I want to see how this strain fairs under budget conditions, controlling the variables I can, and with modest ideals. Pot size 2,5L Nutrients: BAC, Nutrigrow Light: Sansi 10w grow light, Sansi 40w, south facing window (sunlight) Average day temperature 20 - 26 C Average night temperature 15 - 18 C Humidity : plastic cups and water spray around 70% humidity for Seedling stage Watering : once a week! Plan : All good ideas start with a basic plan that might blow up at some point but always a good idea to plan! (Seedling) I prepped the pot for the seed already. Once the seed spurts its root tail i'll place it into the 2,5L pot and leave it there,( modest i'm not expecting more than 8 grams here with this pot size and light source ), next ill place a cling film on top to help the humidity and trap the moisture, once the seedling spurts ill place it in a dome for trapping that humidity until it reaches a certain height and width. (Veg) I'm planning on avoiding as much stress as possible with this plant, so no LST, no topping, just taking it easy and letting her do her thing, one cloudy week and the plant run could be messed up since i'm relying on sunny days! so the less stress the plant has the better, especially since she has a timeline to work with; starting early with root stimulants, once healthy sings of veg show, week 4 is when ill introduce more nutrition ill be using Nutrigrow 01 formula once the micro and macro nutrients in the soil will be used up! (Flowering) this stage is the most optimistic in this run I'm hoping to have a consistent average over 40mols/day each day!, the sunlight and 36w light is not ideal for a plant to flower especially since it needs a lot of light to get flowers blooming, so I'm praying for some sunny days in the next couple of weeks! (hopefully the sun keeps shinning bright enough to give the plant above 400ppfd each day), but ill be using the BAC blooming stimulants and nutrition here, as I have used in the past, and they came out great. (Lastly) ill be flushing the plant of any excess nutrition and letting it settle, and then harvesting. Hopefully this goes exactly to plan, its a sativa so its optimistic with the light and temp set up, but hell why not right! and I'm wondering how well this strain fairs, will the tricomes come out better? will it be frosty and red? will it have a good smell? will it teach me something I didn't know? Ill see! 01/04/26 - April Fools and my seed made me feel like a dummy it hasn't tailed yet!, but its a ok!, I saw that it sank before 12h mark in water, so its a good sign for density! now Im just going to plant into the pot Hoping that it sprouts! 03/04/26 - She’s alive! Signs of sprouting in soil when I went to burp her! Small bottom watering, with values for foliar spray!, I recently found about foliar spray and think that's whats going to be difference maker for this run! I prepared the bottle, and used 100ml excess to bottom water the pot, it looked a little dry, so I thought this small amount wont hurt right? anyways lets find out and see! 05/04/26 - She’s developed her cotyledons, and looking good. I got rid of the cling film and now using a plastic bottle as a makeshift humidity dome

SplishSploosh 06/04/26 - Here she is officially in veg with those first true leaves sprouting! And she is showing promising signs! Good steady growth each day!, but the one concern her stem is a bit red; possibly due to her genetics, but looking like she’s got a great start! 10/04/26 - good strong and steady growth each day, the leaves are showing up beautifully, I removed the plastic cup for humidity to let the leaves breath a bit more through the day!

SplishSploosh Her growth is better than expected, the 10w light plus sun is actually giving her a good DLI score each day, even with partly cloudy days and sub optimal conditions. 13/04/26 - gave her a small nutrient feeding. (Nutrigrow01 1/4 strength + root juice 1/4 strength 15/04/26 - she looks good, but recently the days have gotten colder and the room temp is around 17-20 in the day, 15-17 night so might have some slower growth in the next couple of weeks, but that’s okay she has a healthy and happy foundation, so I’ll try focus on supplying her root development needs, and by next month the days should be longer, and I’ll focus on foliage spray for her leaf development! 17/04/26 - Watered and fed slightly, honestly this plant is kinda awesome, never felt a plant be so productive before! and I've never had a plant grow so symmetrically before. I'm hoping if I add more pk/cal mag to her diet early her stem will develop better and shell be more efficient with moving those nutrients around, I'm not too worried about nitrogen as she has plenty in the soil till may, I might need to wash her away from salt build up next week though. 19/04/26 - she’s developing nicely, seeing a strong stem being built at this stage is very impressive, the plant does a great job just growing, but I’m worried that the sunlight might take a dip based on the forecast for next week. Fingers crossed she’s pulls through! I am not confident LST will help her looking at the week ahead! mostly because I've never done it on a run like this, and I'm not looking to try mess up whats going good. The 10w light is barley enough as is, so for the next week I’m going to keep her as happy as I can, by attending her basic needs, water, airflow, humidity and temperature, it will be my focus in the next week to mitigate the lower DLI.

SplishSploosh Happy 4/20 everyone! Well week 3 is officially here, and lil Jacklyn is growing steadily, I feel lucky, I was stressed out at the beginning of the run because I wasn’t sure she would pop out of her shell, but she’s done that and more couldn’t be happier with this run so far. 21/04/26 - She’s looking better than ever! New growth, good leaves, good colours, she’s vibing right now and I couldn’t be happier with how she’s shaping along. Tomorrow I’m thinking about doing an early flush to get rid of any salt build up. Her pot feels like it’s a day away from being dry, so we’ll see. Could be the move! 23/04/26 - just water today! I actually didn’t do an early flush, I wanted those root salts gone, but I found out it’s much better to wait for that 5th week right before flowering. I got the BAC final solution, and I’ll be using to rework those waste salts, so no need for a flush. 24/04/26 - luckily the weather has been bless nothing but sunshine past couple of days which I honestly needed for this run, and she’s coming along just fine, her stem is built strong! could be because of the early PK boost! she should be moving those nuts like a pro right now! That being said shes in a slower noticeable growth between days! I think she’s developing her root zone, probably getting ready to explode into her next phase. This might be my best run into VEG I had so far! So I think I’m just going to stay back and let her do her thing, don't fix what’s not broke. 26/04/26 - not much happening since last update, slight growth up top with some new leaves forming, but I’m betting that she’s putting that growth energy on her roots right now! Looking forward to seeing how she does the next couple of days!

SplishSploosh 28/04/26 - Jacklyn has officially started to flower, in week 4 of veg which by all accounts is super early, but oh woah here she comes! Speedrunning like a champ, pistols are officially here. So I am really happy about her frame it’s gonna help make this plant skyrocket later on, now I’m going to introduce more appropriate nutrients. Let’s see what she can do! 01/05/26 - watered without nutrients 03/05/26 - she’s absolutely smashing it, massive growth this week, now it’s clear she’s about to get bigger and better, so gonna increase the PK/K values and get those flowers dense and beautiful.

SplishSploosh 06/05/26 - Accidentally bent her stem 90deg yesterday while moving stuff around, had to tape her upright right away, felt so bad but not the end of the world, she’s a tough gal so optimistic she will bounce back quick. 08/05/26 - she’s doing okay! The bent stem was more of a HST accident, she’s recovering and might be better off for it. And in other news I came up with a different idea using a bin bag as an impromptu grow tent!, I originally wanted to use it as a way to keep light out during the night but then once I placed it on top I decided to spray some mist inside. The lights plus the mist make for excellent grow conditions, while also providing a basic privacy screen, so this keeps light out, keeps heat in and keeps humidity levels to the plants liking, so realised you can save a bit of dosh on a grow tent using this method, just keep in mind to remove the bag every morning to keep the air moving. Let’s see how she likes the idea! 10/05/26 she’s doing well, developing along, her bud sites are getting better, ever so slightly each day. Seems to have recovered from the earlier bending. Gonna feed her tomorrow. 12/05/26 she’s climbing still but my cat had a nibble on her leaves, absolute fiend! But she persists, she’s growing even taller now and with awesome vigor! Fed her with nutrients today! I always feed her once a week when it looks like she’s thirsty for water.

SplishSploosh Been away a small while, luckily I had help to water, but she’s swelling up great!, honestly she’s building her self up beautifully! I cannot wait to see how she does through week 7! 21/05/26 - fed nutrients. / defoliated some older leaves and lower growth. I want her entire energy sent up! 23/05/26- fed water/ calmag she’s really drinking 25/05/26 - hot weather light feeding today/ calmag/ formula 1 0.2L water/10ml pre diluted custom nutrient solution) 26/05/26 - She looked like she had slight nutrient burn so thought I would just fed her CalMag/ water till run off. The weather has been bountiful plenty of sunlight and air humidity so leaving her outside on 12/12 hour cycle. she seems happy with that schedule and if it works for photoperiods why not try it on auto flowers

SplishSploosh The week has been sunny and hot so decided to leave her outside and let nature look after her, I just need to feed and water her. She’s looking frosty and almost harvest ready, definitely a true over achiever! She’s ready for harvest now but gonna leave her out for a week or two longer. 28/05/26 - watered with cal/mag : initiating flush, gonna start final flush diet next few days. 29/05/26 - moved her inside, intense weather changes

Happy Harvest Day!

This plant blew my expectations, from seed to harvest she was amazing, developing faster than expected at all stages, with keep in mind very limited resources, still she was a productive, over achiever and definitively one of my best grows of all time! One thing I haven’t mentioned is the smell, the terpene profile is amazing, it smells of weed, but like sweetish, it’s hard to point point but it’s feels like cacao with chocolate or something sweet, definitely would keep her just for the smell if she didn’t grow bud. I’ll post the total price breakdown later on when I have the dry weight and everything else. Thanks!

SplishSploosh TOTAL COST : 138£ - Electricity usage - £8 Buying the Grow lights - £54 Buying the Nutrients - £45 Buying Pots (x3) - £16 Tools - £5 Soil - 10£ I should say I had the nutrients for over 2 years so I’m using the price for that initial purchase. They were used in all my other gardening endeavours such as tomato's, strawberries and chillies, I had great results with BAC and Nutrigrow but they are somewhat pricey. You might find some cheaper alternatives if that figure puts you off. - 31/05/26- This plant blew my expectations, from seed to harvest she was amazing, developing faster than expected at all stages, with keep in mind very limited resources, still she was a productive, over achiever and definitively one of my best grows of all time! But harvest day is upon us, her tricomes are in that sweet spot for Milkey/small amounts of amber! So Now is the best moment to harvest! It’s always a bit emotional but I like to play some calm peaceful music like a final concert dedicated to the plant right before I put her to sleep! And start drying her. I like to make use of all the leaves brewing them into a tea. I’ll update the dry weight later! 03/06/26 - This is great I got the dry weight back and got 10grams of dry sticky amazing weed, this is better than I initially expected, I had in mind that I would be lucky for 8 grams! But now I'm curing it and developing those terpenes flavours which should enhance the experience! This is modest quality and I couldn’t be prouder
