Week 6: I have been watering with 2 liters approximately every 1.75 - 2 days, with a PH between 6.4-6.5. Applied some light LST. Though, I was not planning to. Light pruning done to promote light penetration.
Day 39 - July 16, 2019 at 3am: Topped pot with 5 tbsp of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 5 tbsp of Gaia Green 2-8-4. Ran 4 liters of water through her with a PH at 6.47. 1st runoff PH6.91, 2nd PH 7.07 and 3rd 7.17. Highest top at 8.5" before LST. Now back at 8". Defoliated a lot of leaves.
Day 40 - July 17, 2019: Preflower stage seems to be in gear. :) Lots of new pistils popping up. Gaining about up to an inch per day. LST has brought her back down to around 7.5" at the highest point. I'm not so sure what to do with all the new tops popping up. I defoliated a few lower, weaker ones and am going to wait and see which of the newer tops take off in growth the fastest. I should of, so-to-say, mainlined her highest point sooner. The undergrowth is now becoming strong tops. They could be stronger if I did it sooner. :) I'm on the fence about if I should defoliate more and keep only the initial 10 tops that I had before week 6 or leave her be. I will wait and see what she delivers first.. after the new tops figure themselves out. It's hard to cut off pistils.
Day 40 at 6pm: She had a 1L drink of water with a PH of 6.4, Only slight runoff and I did not measure the PH. She's thirsty for nutrients! 6:40pm: Defoliated a lot of leaves. Most leaves that looked at least a couple of weeks or so old, and others.
Day 41 at 3pm: Dropped light down to 18" from canopy tops. Watered with 2L at a PH of 6.39. 1st runoff PH 6.93 and 2nd runoff PH 7.09. Highest top 8". After heavy defoliation and LST, I'm going to leave her alone for a bit and let her do her thing.
Some nice LST and training work going on with our Amnesia Xxl Auto ๐

@DinafemSeeds,
Thanks, Mark. :)
This is my first grow. After some research, it seems that growers are having luck with bigger colas and less popcorn buds via using LST. It will be interesting to see the final product. She seems like a strong girl, after everything I put her through. :)
Cheers!
Heidi
@Cannibalgardens, :) Thanks for your communications. Yes to all of us growing monster buds! :)
It's nice to share with others out here. Now, how do I follow people on here again? There was one time I found the "Follow" button. Can't find it, and I have tried looking on your page and on other pages for a while. hmmm
@Solarcradle,ya trying to just let them go with the flow for a bit is hard , i never realized how much time and energy went into a grow until i just recently started. That plant looks perfect with the lst and thanks for checking out my page will be following ..
@Solarcradle,practise and more practise we will all be very good one day at growing monster sized buds .. Im also very new to this growing scene but this is the best place to learn about all you need to know best of luck with the grow...
Very nice grow so far! Shes coming along nicely! My ladies are on day 19ish also same strain. Tho i have not tried to top the plant, Only LST atm with some tucking. lets see where she will take you until week 12 ;)
@Chi_K24, Thank you, Chi. I'm not so sure I want to top this strain next time I grow it. She grew enough tops on her own, and LST and tucking work fantastic, IMO. Next time I am going to plant the Amnesia XXL seed by Dinafem off-center. That way it will give me more room to LST the highest top, rather than topping it to keep the tops level.
I have 9, hopefully strong, tops right now. I had 10, but chopped the weakest one down yesterday. As I've been growing and researching, I think 9 tops is more than enough. Good luck with your Amnesia grow. She is hearty and smells great already!
Another successful AutoDinafem harvest on the grow diary platform and this time it's our Amnesia Xxl Auto ๐
Nicely done my friend and thank you for the great diary ๐ค
All the best โ๏ธ

@DinafemSeeds, Mark
As I sit here and smoke a five day cured sample, my third joint since harvest, I am super impressed by the clean burn, how the taste is coming along, and holy crow does it hit straight to the head and last a while. :D A little goes a long way. I love that my vision is still great and there are no heavy head feelings left behind from the effects. :) This is amazing, for my liking! Thanks DinafemSeeds! It feels like a premium strain all around. I have 2 more Dinafem Amnesia XXL seeds to grow. Smiles
@WillyWonka, Thanks :)
I have a Dinafem - Haze 2.0 XXL finishing in the next few weeks and I ended up with a photoperiod Super Lemon Haze strain. It is in week 12 and has not yet started preflower. I'm debating if I let her grow out. She is space hungry. After the mix up of receiving a photoperiod instead of an auto, just tonight I received an email with a generous offer for the oops. They offered me 3 free seeds to make up for sending me a photoperiod. hmm :) I also have 2 more Dinafem Amnesia XXL seeds and x2 Haze 2.0 XXL seeds left. I'll be growing Amnesia my next grow, maybe the Haze XXL again, and Sour Diesel, Jack Herer...
