DogDoctorOfficial # Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B π±β¨
## Germination Week | Second Chances and Strong Starts
Hello GrowDiaries family! ππ±
Welcome to another new diary and another new chapter in this project.
As mentioned throughout the previous reports, I've recently adjusted the way I document my grows. With the current photo limitations on GrowDiaries, each phenotype now receives its own dedicated diary, allowing me to continue documenting every stage of development while selecting the best photographs from each week.
The objective remains exactly the same as always:
To create an honest, educational, and complete record from seed to harvest while sharing observations, successes, mistakes, lessons learned, and everything in between.
And today's diary begins with one of those lessons.
---
## Not Every Germination Goes Perfectly
The original plan for Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B was exactly the same as the rest of the garden.
Same germination method.
Same environment.
Same process.
Same care.
Yet growing has a way of keeping us humble.
The first attempt failed.
Looking back, I believe I likely overwatered the coco starter plug during the early stages. The seed germinated but never established itself properly, and ultimately failed to continue developing.
Mistakes happen.
Every grower experiences them.
The important part is learning from them and moving forward.
---
## A Second Attempt
Rather than giving up on the genetic, I decided to try again.
A few days later, two new Amnesia Haze Auto seeds were placed into the Cannakan germination system.
The results were exactly what we hoped to see.
Healthy germination.
Healthy taproots.
Strong vigor.
Both seeds emerged successfully and were planted directly into Plagron Lightmix rather than returning to coco starter plugs.
The plan from this point forward was simple:
Allow both seedlings to establish themselves and later select the strongest candidate to continue as Pheno B.
The remaining seedling would eventually return to the compost pile and continue its journey in another form.
Nothing wasted.
Everything remains part of the cycle.
---
## Germination Using the Cannakan System
For germination I used the same Cannakan system employed throughout this project.
For organizational purposes, the autoflower section of the run was germinated using a second Cannakan unit, while the photoperiod section used the first.
The methodology itself remained exactly the same.
The seeds were placed inside using only plain water.
No nutrients.
No additives.
No stimulants.
Just water.
Within approximately 24 hours healthy taproots had emerged and the seeds were ready for planting.
Simple.
Clean.
Effective.
Exactly what we hope to see.
---
## Why Only Water?
One question that frequently appears during germination is:
"Why not feed the seedlings immediately?"
The answer remains simple.
The seed already contains everything required for its first stage of life.
Inside that shell are the energy reserves necessary to establish roots and begin development.
At this stage, I prefer allowing the seed to use those reserves naturally.
The objective is not to feed the plant.
The objective is simply to wake it up.
Water is enough.
---
## Environmental Conditions
Environmental conditions remained identical to the rest of the project.
Temperatures remained around 26β27Β°C.
Humidity stayed between approximately 65β70% using a Spider Farmer humidifier.
Airflow remained extremely gentle.
The objective was creating a stable environment where young seedlings could establish themselves without unnecessary stress.
---
## Lighting
Lighting during germination remained intentionally soft.
Young seedlings do not require intense light levels at this stage.
The goal is healthy establishment rather than rapid growth.
Once properly established, the selected Pheno B would move under the Future Of Grow Black Series 600W full-spectrum LED system alongside the rest of the garden.
---
## First Observations
Despite the initial setback, the second attempt progressed beautifully.
Fast germination.
Healthy taproots.
Strong emergence.
Good vigor.
Healthy color.
And perhaps most importantly:
A successful recovery.
Sometimes the most valuable lessons come from the grows that don't go perfectly.
This diary happens to begin with one of those lessons.
---
## Looking Ahead
Over the coming weeks we'll follow the selected Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B through every stage of development.
We'll document:
- Root establishment
- Early growth
- Environmental management
- Watering practices
- Structural development
- Flowering progression
- And whatever unique characteristics this phenotype chooses to reveal
Because every grow teaches something.
And sometimes second chances become some of the most interesting stories to follow.

## Week 1 | Small Roots, Big Partnerships
Hello GrowDiaries family! ππ±
Welcome back to another update from the 12/12 From Seed project.
Today we're following Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B through her first week of life.
At first glance, she may appear smaller than some of her sisters in the room, but one of the most important lessons in cultivation is remembering that plants do not all develop at exactly the same pace.
What matters most during this stage is not size.
What matters is health.
And so far, this little lady is doing exactly what she should be doing.
---
## A Different Pace
Throughout the week, Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B remained slightly behind some of the larger seedlings in the room.
This isn't unusual.
Even when plants share the same environment, genetics often express themselves differently during the seedling stage.
Some rush forward immediately.
Others take a more measured approach.
In this particular case, this plant also started a few days behind the rest of the garden after the first germination attempt failed.
That one was entirely on me.
Growing is a continuous learning process, and occasionally mistakes happen. Fortunately, a second seed was started successfully, allowing this beautiful genetic to join the run.
Because of that delayed start, she naturally appears smaller than many of her sisters during this first week.
What impressed me most wasn't her size.
It was her consistency.
Each day brought visible progress.
Each new set of leaves emerged healthy.
And by the end of the week, she was clearly settling into her new environment and beginning to build momentum.
---
## Building the Foundation
Like the rest of this project, she was transplanted directly into her final container filled with Plagron Lightmix.
The goal remains simple:
Allow the root system to establish itself without the need for additional transplants later in life.
While the visible growth above the soil may seem modest, the majority of the work during this stage is taking place underground.
Every day the root system expands, explores new territory, and begins building the infrastructure that will support the plant throughout the rest of its life cycle.
Healthy roots create healthy plants.
Everything begins there.
---
## A Smaller Container, An Interesting Comparison
One additional detail that makes this phenotype particularly interesting is her container size.
While most plants in this run were transplanted into 15-liter final containers, Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B was placed into an 11-liter pot.
The decision wasn't made because of any concern about the plant itself, but rather as an opportunity to observe how container volume may influence development throughout the grow.
Root space plays an important role in plant growth.
A larger container provides more room for root expansion, greater water-holding capacity, and a larger nutrient reservoir.
A smaller container, on the other hand, can sometimes encourage slightly different growth patterns, potentially influencing plant size, watering frequency, structure, and overall development.
At this stage, the difference is unlikely to be significant since the root system is still establishing itself.
However, as the weeks progress, it will be fascinating to compare her development against her sisters growing in 15-liter containers.
One of the most enjoyable parts of documenting an entire run is being able to observe these small variables and see how they influence the final result.
For now, she appears perfectly healthy, and this little side experiment may provide some valuable observations later in the season.
---
## The Mycorrhizal Network
One of the most important additions during transplant was the application of mycorrhizal fungi.
Although often invisible to the eye, these beneficial fungi create one of the most fascinating partnerships found in nature.
Once established, mycorrhizae form a symbiotic relationship with the plant's root system.
The fungi attach themselves to the roots and begin extending microscopic networks throughout the surrounding soil.
Think of it as a natural underground extension of the root system.
The fungal network can access water, minerals, and nutrients that the roots alone may struggle to reach.
In exchange, the plant shares sugars produced through photosynthesis.
Both partners benefit.
The fungi receive energy.
The plant gains access to a much larger exploration network beneath the soil.
Over time, this relationship can improve nutrient uptake, water efficiency, root development, and overall plant resilience.
Nature has been using this system for millions of years.
We're simply learning how to work alongside it.
---
## Environment
Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week.
Daytime temperatures averaged approximately 27Β°C while nighttime temperatures remained close to 25Β°C.
Relative humidity remained around 55%.
The nutrient solution was maintained at pH 5.99 with an EC of approximately 0.46 mS/cm.
Root zone and solution temperatures remained close to 21Β°C.
Lighting was provided under the Future Of Grow Black Series LED system operating under the 12/12 From Seed methodology used throughout this project.
As always, consistency remains the objective.
The seedlings are not being pushed aggressively.
They're simply being given a stable environment in which to develop naturally.
---
## First Week Development
As the week progressed, the plant continued producing healthy new growth.
The first true leaves expanded steadily.
Leaf color remained vibrant and uniform.
Structure stayed compact.
Internodal spacing remained tight.
Despite being one of the smaller plants in the room, the overall appearance remained healthy and balanced.
Sometimes the smallest seedlings end up becoming some of the most interesting plants later in the grow.
And that's part of what makes documenting every stage so enjoyable.
Every plant writes its own story.
---
## Looking Ahead
The first week is now complete and the foundation is in place.
Roots are expanding.
The mycorrhizal partnership is beginning to establish itself beneath the soil.
New growth is accelerating.
And this little Amnesia Haze Auto is starting to find her rhythm.
She may be one of the smaller plants in the room today, but there is plenty of time ahead.
For now, the objective remains exactly the same:
Healthy roots.
Healthy growth.
And steady progress one day at a time.

DogDoctorOfficial Week 2 - Vegetation | Purple Haze Pheno B
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 12/12 From Seed adventure.
This week we turn our attention to Purple Haze Pheno B, the younger sister of the two Purple Haze phenotypes currently growing in the tent.
While Pheno A has begun establishing a noticeable lead in overall development, Pheno B continues progressing steadily and confidently at her own pace. The difference between the two plants is becoming increasingly visible, but it is important to remember that they are not developing under exactly the same circumstances. A small age gap combined with additional time spent in a smaller starter container can make a surprisingly large difference during these early stages of growth.
Despite being slightly behind in overall size, Pheno B is showing all the signs of a healthy and successful start.
This week the plant continued building structure and is now working on her second pair of true leaves. Growth remains steady and consistent, with new development appearing every day. The leaves display a healthy green coloration, and the plant maintains a compact profile with good spacing between growth points.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of documenting multiple phenotypes is seeing how differently each individual expresses itself, even when grown under identical environmental conditions. While Pheno A seems eager to race ahead, Pheno B appears content taking a slightly more measured approach. Neither strategy is necessarily better than the other. At this stage, health and steady progression matter far more than size alone.
The transplant from last week appears to have been accepted successfully, and the plant is now focusing energy on both root establishment and above-ground growth. As the root system continues expanding into the larger volume of substrate, we expect growth rates to increase naturally over the coming weeks.
The overall structure remains neat and symmetrical, and the plant presents itself with healthy posture throughout the day. There are no major concerns at this stage, only the quiet and steady development that often lays the foundation for strong future performance.
One of the most valuable lessons in cultivation is learning not to compare every plant against its neighbors. Sometimes the fastest plant in Week 2 is not the most impressive plant at harvest, and sometimes the quieter, slower starter surprises everyone later in the run. For now, Pheno B is doing exactly what she should be doingβgrowing healthy, building roots, and preparing for the next phase of development.
Overall, this has been another positive week for Purple Haze Pheno B. She may be the smaller sister for now, but she remains healthy, vibrant, and full of potential.
Thank you to everyone following along, liking, commenting, and sharing your own experiences throughout the journey.
A special thank you as always to Zamnesia for the genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, and to the entire growing community that continues to inspire and support growers around the world.
Until next week, Growers Love and happy growing everyone. π±π
