Amnesiac

311Budz The first week is done! Two out of three Amnesiac seeds have fought their way to the surface, but they look very different from each other. The first plant is doing great – nice, sturdy growth, lush green leaves, and a healthy stretch. On the other hand, the second one doesn’t look so good: weak stem, slightly drooping leaves, and overall a bit of a worn-out impression. To avoid any risk, I’ve planted a new seed as a replacement – basically a backup for the weaker plant. Currently, they are all in the seedling tent (60×60×120 cm) under the 80W full-spectrum LED, still on an 18/6 light cycle. I’m keeping the humidity stable over the seedlings with a cut-off PET bottle – it works like a little mini grow box and ensures good humidity in the early phase. Overall: ➡️ One plant in top shape ➡️ One is still struggling but looks bad ➡️ One freshly added Patience is key now – the roots need to take hold and the first true leaves need to gather energy. 🌞

311Budz The second week is underway – and you can clearly see progress! The top plant continues to develop really strong: compact growth, robust leaf structure, and a rich green color. It stands stable, looks vital, and visibly grows every day. The second plant, which was quite weak at first, is actually showing signs of life: The old leaves are still deformed, but new, fresh shoots are coming from the center – it seems to be slowly recovering. The newly planted plant is also showing its best side. It has stretched slightly (minimal stretching), but stands well and strongly resembles the top plant at the beginning – robust, healthy, and eager to grow. The PET bottles have now been removed so that the plants can better acclimate to the tent air and get a natural climate. The humidity remains stable, and the soil dries more evenly – the root growth benefits from this. All in all, the cultivation is going really well now. 💪🌿

311Budz In the third week, all three Amnesiacs are showing clear differences, but overall, things are progressing well. The strongest plant was successfully topped to promote four main colas and has handled the cut without any issues. It's growing nice and compact and is developing just as one would hope. The second plant was also topped but still needs some time to properly develop the new shoots. You can see that it's stabilizing and slowly getting into gear. The little fighter plant is the most surprising – it's visibly recovering, forming fresh leaves, and looks more vibrant every day. Overall, the grow is going well.

311Budz This week has seen quite a bit of progress. Both plants were repotted and topped at the same time to further build the structure. With the training clips, I was able to position the branches nicely and promote even growth. Through topping, I managed to form four main branches on both plants. The larger one was topped a second time yesterday, going from four to eight main branches – the growth looks strong and healthy, and it’s responding really well to the training. Overall, both are developing very steadily, the structure is open, the spacing is even, and the light is reaching everywhere nicely now. So, the setup for the next stage is ready. Oh, and I think the mutation plant has also made it over the hill; it has recovered and is developing many new healthy leaves.

311Budz This week, quite a bit has happened again. Both plants were successfully repotted and then topped to create a clean structure with a total of four main stems. Additionally, I positioned both with training clips so that the side branches receive even light and the base becomes nice and wide. The larger plant has even been topped a second time, which has now expanded it from four to eight main stems. The reaction to this has been very positive – the growth remains compact, healthy, and strong.

311Budz This week was all about repotting. Both plants got fresh soil and more root space, which you can immediately see in their stronger stance. The substrate is evenly moist, and the plants are responding well to their new spot. The structure of the plants remains compact: The existing main stems are well-placed, and growth is picking up again after the repotting.

311Budz This week, I completely focused on my two Amnesiac girls, and both handled the repotting and training really well. They are now in their larger pots, looking stable, and have immediately started to grow more vigorously. The mainlining is progressing almost identically for both: The structure is opening up nicely, the new shoots are coming in quickly, and the plants are staying nice and flat and wide. The clips are holding the shape really well and ensuring that the future main shoots grow evenly upwards. By now, I have established the basic shape for both – they are both working with several main shoots growing out symmetrically. The leaves are a rich green, no drooping, no stress, everything looks like really healthy growth. You can just tell how much the new space and the training are benefiting them. Overall, both are developing almost equally strong and evenly, which makes the setup and preparation for the upcoming weeks extremely relaxed. The foundation is set – now they can really take off.

311Budz This week there was another little upgrade in the tent. I moved the mutation plant into the big tent because the small one was getting way too cramped for her. It's crazy when you think about how she almost died at the beginning – and now she’s standing there like nothing ever happened. What’s really wild about the mutant: she grows like two different plants in one body. One side completely normal, nice structure, clean growth – and the other side looks like nature had a little glitch. Mutated leaves, weird node spacing, but she’s still doing her job. I even kind of celebrate it. They’re all together now in the big tent with a scrog net. I tied down all the shoots neatly again to keep everything flat and let the middle get some light. The big ones have become really bushy now, the structure is stable and even – you can see that the topping worked. The mutant needs a bit of extra attention just because she’s growing half normal / half freaky, but overall everything is going smoothly. Setup is good, tent is good, plants are responding well. Let’s see what next week brings – but as of now: everything stable, everything green, everything on track.

311Budz This week, the plants have gained a good amount of mass again and filled the SCROG net further. The two normal phenotypes are developing almost identically and look very vigorous. The mutation is slightly different in growth but continues to adapt without any issues. Almost all of them are already showing clear early-flower signs. It has been over a week since they were topped to build stability for the flowering stage. The shoots are responding very well to the SCROG and can be distributed nicely. The leaf color is predominantly deep green, and overall the plants look healthy. No stress, no deficiencies, growth is steady. In two days, we will switch to 12/12 and initiate flowering. From now on, it's all about watching the stretch and utilizing space in the net.

311Budz I'm now in the first week of flowering and the plants are looking really stable. The stretch is slowly starting, and all the tops are visibly reaching upwards. Under the SCROG net, a very even surface is forming with many potential bud sites. The two normal phenotypes are developing almost identically and look very homogeneous. The mutation shows a slightly different growth pattern but is keeping up well and remains vigorous. The foliage is mostly a rich green and healthy, without any noticeable issues. The structure is open enough for light and air to reach everywhere well. There are already clear signs of flowers at the tips with fresh pistils visible. Overall, the grow has a very clean and controlled impression. I'm curious to see how much height they will gain in the next few days.

311Budz The plants have adapted very well to the switch to 12/12 and are now showing clear stretch behavior. All three are looking healthy, with strong growth and a very even height in the scrog net. The two normal phenotypes are developing almost identically and are already showing many early flower sites on all tops. The mutation is growing a bit more erratically but is keeping up well and has visibly stabilized. The canopy is dense, vibrant, and dark green, with no noticeable deficiencies. The side branches are stretching cleanly upwards and are continuing to fill out the net. First bud sites are clearly defined and are evenly distributed across the entire area. The plants are responding well to the training, and there is no visible stress. Overall, everything looks very controlled and structured. The foundation for compact bud columns in the coming weeks is laid.

311Budz Week 3 of flowering is over, and compared to last week, the picture has noticeably changed. The strong stretch is clearly flattening out now, and the plants are clearly transitioning from height growth to flower development. The tops look more defined and compact than they did a week ago. The flower sites have grown larger everywhere and are slowly coming together. The canopy is more even, and the height differences are less noticeable than before. The plants overall look calmer and more stable in their growth. The leaf color has remained consistent, with no major negative changes. In the next few days, I will remove everything below that isn't getting any light. After that, I will intentionally leave the plants alone. From now on, the focus is clearly on mass, density, and ripeness. The transition from stretch to flowering phase is clearly visible.

311Budz The fourth week of flowering has successfully concluded, and the grow has clearly reached its final structure. This week, the lower area of all the plants was completely removed to direct all energy towards the upper canopy and the tops. Since then, the plants have shown very calm, controlled growth without visible stress reactions. The canopy is evenly filled, with a good distribution of tops across the entire area. The side plants, in particular, show strong branching with many equally high flower sites, while the middle plant remains more compact but is extremely densely packed. The internodes in the upper area are moderate, indicating well-stacked buds later on. The flower development is clearly visible: all tops bear fresh, white stigmas, the bud sites are increasingly connecting, and the plants are slowly transitioning from stretch to the actual mass phase. The foliage is predominantly healthy green, without signs of deficiency or excess. Air circulation has significantly improved due to the removal of the lower growth. From now on, the focus is entirely on flower development, resin production, and density. The plants appear stable, vigorous, and well-prepared for the upcoming weeks of main flowering.

311Budz Flowering week 5 is complete, and compared to the previous week, a lot has happened, especially at the top. The plants have completely focused on the tops after removing the lower shoots; the canopy is now significantly more even and closed. The number of visible bud sites seems even higher, the flower clusters are more clearly defined, and they're starting to stack more. The buds are not hard yet, but they have visibly gained volume and are developing more structure daily. Resin production has noticeably increased compared to last week, especially on the sugar leaves. The smell has become more intense. Overall, the plants seem calmer, more focused on flower development. From now on, it's clearly moving into the phase where weight and density will be built up.

311Budz This week, there was a noticeable progression in the flowering development. The buds have visibly gained volume and appear more compact than in week 5. Especially on the main stems, the colas have become longer and denser, while the middle tops have also continued to close up. The resin production has significantly increased – sugar leaves and bud surfaces show a stronger trichome coverage, indicating the start of the ripening phase. The stigmas are still predominantly light, but some are beginning to darken slightly. Compared to the previous week, the overall appearance seems more homogeneous and "ripe": less stretch, more focus on bud formation. The plants show a stable structure; the defoliation at the bottom is paying off – light penetrates better into the canopy, and energy is clearly directed towards the tops. In terms of color, the leaves are healthy, slightly duller than before, which is typical for the progressing bloom. Overall, the grow appears very stable; the plants are now clearly focused on density, resin production, and weight gain.

311Budz Since last week, the buds have gained massive volume and completely fill the tent. The plants are now fully in the swelling phase and are focusing solely on resin production. A silver veil of trichomes now covers the entire flower clusters. Pheno 1 on the left has the highest water consumption and metabolism. The resin development is farthest along here and aggressively extends into the leaves. Pheno 2 in the middle is the powerhouse with a compact Amnesia structure. The buds are significantly denser than last week, and the calyxes are stacking up tighter. Pheno 3 on the right shows the clearest Super Silver Haze influence. The structure is more open and delicate, while the buds are now slowly closing and becoming heavily resinous. The smell in the tent is now extremely pungent and intense.

311Budz Week 8 is done and I've really packed the hut! The plants have taken over the entire area and are forming massive flower clusters. Especially on the middle plant, I see a crazy, silvery layer of trichomes spreading over the buds – it looks damn promising for the resin content. The right Amnesiac has also gained a lot and is sparkling nicely under the light. The leaf tips are slightly burnt everywhere, so they are absolutely saturated and I urgently need to lower the nutrients now. The buds are fat, but they definitely need more time to reach their full size.

311Budz Today was a turbulent day. I actually had 10 days planned, but during the check, I discovered a spider web. I immediately played it safe and harvested all three plants to avoid jeopardizing the yield. They are now hanging upside down in the dark tent. The climate is at 19-20°C and 55% humidity for a slow drying process. The resin content is enormous, and the buds are very compact. I'm proud of this run and excited about the result.
