A great week for Amnesia. Just perfect weather, top temp 30 and mild in the evening, even the odd brief shower over night to top up my rainwater. I cut quite a few leaves off for the final time, all the little ones deeper in the canopy and pretty much anything that was blocking light to the buds. I heard this strain is a real slow finisher, and I get the feeling this one is gonna be a while yet. The buds are putting on weight nicely but still lots of white pistils still standing up. I am really enjoying this one 🍻
Great job with this @Shooey ! I can't believe the long veg and flowering time for an auto, 9 weeks in veg, wow - but the results look great! Sure this was a great smoke ;)
@Epokwan, thanks mate👍. This is definitely my fav to date. It wasn’t auto man, but a fem.
Those sativas pump out magic looking buds hey, but the long flower times can be a hassle.
I see you do well with autos man, but I haven’t really been able to get much out of them for some reason.
As for the smoke, so so nice. A bit strong for me though 😄 cheers mate
Hi mate, I think you girl is wanting something. I think she can use a bit more nitrogen. But with haze, it better to underfeed and let the leave yellow. Over feeding haze will get tje entire plant burn.
A safe practice would be a cup of milk add to a liter of water and feed her once. The excess nitrogen from milk doesn't really burn. And you will boost soil microbes going.
Milk is a great fertilizer but it really is too expensive. You can get the better result cheaper with guano tea or manure tea.
@Med_in_Tropic, hey thanks med. I knew you would have seen this before. It’s a weird one because it is confined to just the single bud. I’m gonna go with your milk idea,, it seems the safest way without risking burn. Even though it is some sort of problem, I must say it is visually pretty to look at with a flame yellow shoot! This hobby will really throw up something different every time. Thanks for the advice as always mate 🍻
Oh baby those are some lovely buds. Fantastic work my friend. Keep it up and may the ganja garden gods bless you along the way with this grow and all future endeavors as well
@Grey_Wolf, thanks for the advice mate, I’m gonna take it on. Trying a nutrient change through this week and I feel I can recover in a couple of weeks. Cheers mate as always👍
@Shooey, Roots can benefit from the use of Mycorrhizal fungi that attacks the bad pathogens in your soil I use a product called Great White
also Vitamin B Fulvic and Humic acids are excellent for overall plant and root health .
@Grey_Wolf,hey wolf, that went through my mind for sure, but it is in a premium potting mix which is full of nutrient, plus I am feeding with bio canna vega a couple of times a week, as well as a fish and kelp solution. I worry that if I increase feed I might get burn as well. I also may have overwatered as I noticed the soil was really gluggy at the bottom and even very warm to touch, and because of that it was a bit smelly. My shaman is in the same soil and it is pretty much only getting water and it is super healthy. I noticed on one of your diaries you had a product which improved root health,, what was it again mate?? I am happy to try another feed which includes the minerals you talked about. Do you have any recommendations?? Cheers wolf
Hi, I go by the microscope pic of the trichome. If she is ready, the cut. I dad mold issue with Amnesia left too long on the plant. She was so thick and joint.
Also people count flowering Peoria’s differently. Yes, it is seven weeks from pistils. But from the first week that you went 13 hours schedule, it had been nine weeks already.
If you are ready, give her one last week and go for the chop. Your risk is losing opportunities to fatten her up by 5 to 10 percent more. Or loose 29% of the buds due to rot.
@Med_in_Tropic, thanks med. I really appreciate the advice mate. I have held off, but I am gonna get one of those microscopes,, they have some good ones for android phones only about $25...
Hey Shooey. Looking nice. Just to put in my 2 bobs worth....i have found flowering times suggested by breeders can be a little flexible and outdoor grows in my experience tend to fiish faster.
My critical by RQS just finushed 5th week and looks like less than 2 weeks to go.
Good luck wirh harvest...she looks great!
@MagicMan, thanks magic,, great to get perspective from other outdoor growers. I think you may be right about the outdoor grows finishing a bit faster,, I feel like all my grows so far have been ready earlier than the breeder timeframes. I mostly go by instinct now. When I get jittery, paranoid about anyone who walks past the house and start bringing inside every night, I know I’m in the final week🤣🤣
@Buddha2, thanks buddha,, yes I did quite a lot of research as to what would suit outdoor growing conditions where I live. Amnesia haze seems to thrive in the humidity. It’s a slow starter for sure and a bit fussy in early weeks so will be interesting to see if it can go on from here. I’m in the sthn hemisphere so the season is coming to an end in a few months. Not expecting a big yield but it is meant to be some strong shit!! Lovely looking too👍
Sativa is slow.
Recommend that you chase the pot size up rather than give it one big go.
This is a slower strain. And it will take a little longer.
Next step of pot should be to 3 or 4 liters, then 7 to 10 liters. then to 25 liters.
This way soild would be fresher and you won't rinse away fertilizer.
Cheers
