Amnesia XXL: Original Amnesia x Original Amnesia Auto
Amnesia XXL Auto by Dinafem planted on December 25, 2019 at 6 pm.
December 30 at about 9-11am: First day sprout, almost 5 days after seed plated
4 gallon pot flushed, dried, 9 tablespoons of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 3 tablespoons of Gaia Green 2-8-4 slow release nutrients amended into medium. Pot presoaked at 6.63 PH and seed planted in...
60% Wiggle Worm Castings (topped with 3 cups of unused wiggle worm castings)
25% Miracle Gro Perlite
15% Canna Coco Coir
Second grow in this medium. Fine roots remain.
Dec 31 at 1pm: Helped her along by removing seed shell with metal dental pick.
Jan 1, 2020: Early on in day 3 added 10 tbsp of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 3 tbsp of 2-8-4.
Jan 3, 2020 at 10pm: Turned bloom light off.
Jan 4, 2020 at 11:40pm: Turned bloom light on. Back to veg and bloom.
Removed a fan leaf for light penetration
Jan 18 at 3am: :( Snapped the largest top doing LST. Taped her together, immediately.
Jan 19th 11:40pm Update: She does not look affected. :D
- added a cheap YGROW 100w/35W power draw to my 36" x 20" x 62" tent
I love her structure and massive leaves. Quite a bit diff than my first Amnesia grow.
My first Amnesia grow by Dinafem was at low PH values. Another difference is that this grow is not in a squat pot and the medium it is growing within is different.. This journal of Amnesia is mainly wiggle worm castings, perlite, some coco coir and Gaia Green slow release nutrients. (see week one for percentages of medium materials) My 1st Amnesia grow was mainly coco coir medium. I also juiced up nutrients in my second Amnesia grow.
After I split the main stalk, she seems to be doing fine. What a pleasant surprise. :D So hearty and versatile.
Day 33/Feb 1, 2019: Tilled top soil and added 12 tablespoons of Gaia Green 2-8-4 Bloom and 8 tablespoons of 4-4-4 Veg slow release nutrients. More tilling to come. I till before and 2-3 times after nutrient application to top soil. If the surface becomes crusted, from nutrients hardening, water does not distribute throughout the pot and runs off to the sides of the pot. Not a bad trade off to till top soil amendments, especially considering that I only feed slow release nutrients once a month.
She is a beauty! XXL! :) I love her structure, and strength after I split her main stalk.
Vegetative LED lights are turned off for most pictures.
She seems to be a late bloomer compared to my first Amnesia XXL grow in coco coir. Her trichomes show me that she has at least 2-3 weeks to go. Lots of them are still developing heads
Second Grow of this strain. Will definitely be growing again. Enjoying this a lot!
March 23, 2019/Day 84: Harvested partial plant and hung to dry. Let the bottom continue to fill out more before harvesting. I could have left her another week for harvest and I would have had a bigger yield. I am looking for more sativa effects in the first harvest and amber trichomes/sedation/relaxation effects, alongside the sativa high, from the second harvest. I'm very impressed by the quality sativa buzz, once again. :)
Day 91: Trimmed and jarred 79.1 grams (partial harvest)
Day 97: Trimmed and jarred 35grams (final harvest)
Total: 114.10 grams / 4.025 ounces
I must have smoked at least 5 grams that was not included in my final count :)
@DinafemSeeds, :) BUD EXPLOSION! :) She has nice height and I love her structure. Nice genes! Hopes for trichome loaded, like I had on my first Amnesia XXL by Dinafem grow. Cheers!
Hey,
I have just started amnesia and Mobydick after killing 3 Mobydick by over watering and PH issues. I am using same led lights in same 1000w and trying to grow in dwc. Can you please suggest whether to use Veg & bloom or Stronger mode in the philzon cob cree. Also can you suggest temperature and humidity for seedlings and veg.
Thank you
@cloudmafia, Hey! I use 3 thermometers. One is hanging from my light to check the canopy of my plant(s), one on the floor of the tent and one in a pot. I gauge how far to move the light depending on the canopy temperature. My temp, right now, averages around 24.5-26C Phlizon manufacturer recommends 24" from plant canopy on this light.
Your humidity, temp and light distance sounds great. My knowledge is under a year of growing. I don't know much. I can say to watch for signs of over and under watering, fungus, nutrient and light burn, and the wrong PH during watering/feedings. You want an environment where your medium/soil is in balance for nutrient uptake. I don't think your issue is light burn, considering all the info you have given. Though, I would not rule out possible heat spikes. Also, runoff can contain salts and other trace deposits that alter the PH. If water runoff is not drained and dumped out, this could cause issues. Not usually a problem until one needs to flush their medium.
Sorry to hear about your experiences. Good luck with your new plants! It takes mistakes and lots of reading to learn what plants are telling us. :) Last time I grew this strain, my first grow, I was using a PH that was too low. She still turned out really well. Dinafem's Amnesia XXL strain is really resilient. It is the most resilient that I have grown out of 6 diff strain.
@Solarcradle,Thanks for the reply. Yes, Im trying to grow Autoflowers by Dinafem. Dinafem seeds Germination is always 100% but then later I messed up with light/water/fan/temperatures.
Do you check leaf surface temperatures? I check and try to keep it under 25 degrees celsius (77-78f).
Is it safe to keep lights 22-24 inch from the top of the plant? I have killed two more seedlings, fan broke 1 seedling stem and other one didn't grow after day 1 (after coming out of soil), It was healthy at day 1 then stems changed color and looked darker then slowly died.
Again started germination process Amnesia/Mobydick Auto by dinafem.
Please share some advice to prevent killing plants over and over. 😔
Humidity stays herr 50-75% all the year.
@cloudmafia, Are you growing autoflowers? I like to keep my temperature around 22-26C. Celsius with both veg and bloom lights on through germination to flower. Around week 2 - I have shut the cob lights off for a few days, trying to get some stretch out of my autoflowers. During seedlings, I have read they like anywhere from 60-80% and veg around 50-70% humidity. It also depends on the strain you're growing. I grew my last plants during winter at a lower humidity, around 35-42%. Spray misting the area around the pot now and again helps.
You've got a ton of budsites starting to show my friend 🤗
Things are about to get interesting in here and fast 👍
Please keep the diary update coming 🙏
All the best ✌️
Mark..
