This Expert Seeds Amnesia Haze Auto is a strong and powerful producer that was both easy to grow and took my training regime flawlessly! A definite recommend from me!
From the Light-Mix substrate to Root-Juice on the seedling to Bio-Bloom in flower, BioBizz's full lineup played a huge role in the success of this grow! A for sure try for any grower!!
This wonderful Lady took me on a magical adventure for this grow! Our Expert Seeds Amnesia Haze Auto was germinated right in the 5gal end pot filled with Light-Mix soil by BioBizz with 3 eggs on 3 inches of soil before filling. She sprouted 2 days later and immediately took off! Fed Her BioBizz's full organic line to dosages BioBizz recommends. Supplemented with Cal/Mag/Zinc by Expert Gardener. Its a time released pellet that works well for Ganja. LSTed Her by pulling top to side and utilizing a tomato cage to train the side branches. Topped nodes at 3 weeks and Defoliated lollipop style along the way. This Beauty just would not stop growing! Even Her early flower stretch was massive partly in thanks in part to the Mars Hydro Reflector series 720 which pulls around 300w from wall, partly because of DIY CO2 Generator feeding Her ample CO2 and partly due to BioBizz nutrients fostering a solid bacterium ecosystem in my medium activating plenty of good food for my Gal to eat!!! Every day I opened my Grow Room, I was stunned by Her progress and all around good looks. I left quite a bit of Larf and B-grade Budsites with this training regime because I planned to make a bunch of concentrates this Harvest, but I never expected Her to blow even those sites up with dense, Trichome covered nugs!! Harvested Her with saving all unused plant material for recycling on future grows. Did one new thing this Harvest: Clipped 3 small branches of Buds and put setm into organic food safe food coloring for a day! The stems/Buds absorbed the coloring giving a very cool look. Note: This is just for looks, I will not be consuming these. Took 171.17 grams of wet (I'd estimate this around 3oz if it were dry) Larf and C-grade Buds for flash freezing and making Live Rosin and Hash Oil and then dried the rest. 3 days hanging and 3 days in paper bags to perfect moisture content. Trimmed dried out for total of 83.86 grams with a little over an ounce taken being premium A-grade Buds that I place in large mason jar with 62%rh Boveda 2-way humidity control packs for cure. The rest of dried will be used for Rosin production on my DIY 6 ton press and possibly some Bubble Hash. Ran a couple fills on my DIY BHO Tube and pulled 5.79 grams of wax!! From seedling to smoke, This has definitely been my favorite grow ever! And the Smoke... Amazing!!! Shes got an earth Hazy musk to Her smell and tastes grassy with a bit of piney. Maybe not my favorite for taste or smell, but the Lift is out of this world! Extremely euphoric and energetic with an initial energy boost followed up with strong waves of full body sensation. Great for the start of a poker game, or just as great to sit back and watch a flick with the wifey! Experts Seeds really did good on this Auto - A for sure recommend by BKG!!! In the end, I believe it was all of you... Your support, feedback, and good vibes that really made this grow something unforgettable for me!! Thanks GD Family! π
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I will definitely keep that in mind... I really had nothing to lose on giving this a try, nor did I do any kind of research at all on if it would work or not lol! I had a cutting I was already going to remove, had rooting compound on hand, so here we are.
@biggreens420, I wish they had an Official Rep on GD, but alas they're not here yet. I email their support email right from website. A guy named Devin always takes care of me!
@BudKingsGrow,nice are they on here I'll have to have a word see if they could sort some samples I'v been interested for a while but hesitant to change what I Know works lol
@biggreens420, You have no idea how much I am looking forward to this Harvest!!! On so many levels!
1st Harvest on GrowDiaries, 1st grow utilizing this specific training regime , 1st grow of Expert Seeds genetics, 1st Haze grow, and I've got a few tricks up my sleeve to implement this batch making Her my most anticipated Lady ever!!
Stay Tuned!
these are looking good man! do you always top your autos mate? and if so have you ever done a side by side experiment of one being topped and one with just low stress training? just curious to see how much it makes a difference.. i was told not to do anything with autos other then low stress training because they are too fragile and cant really handle it but looking at this i guess that advice was obviously incorrect
@ganjaman94, Thanks Man! I'm very impressed with Her and the genetics. I'd say to not worry too much about training until you are comfortable... Autos are so fast that you can let them go as so many others do and have a good harvest! Or you can just experiment some and see how it goes π! A good starting place is to wait until She gets to about 3 - 4 nodal set high and then tie Her top as far over to the side as you can without damaging stalk/roots. This will expose those lower nodes to more light and triggers Her to invest more energy into their growth. This simple training method will get you more main nodes that produce large colas instead of 1 main cola on middle node without training. Cheers!
@BudKingsGrow, fair enough man, i think once i have bit more experience and find my self more comfortable with the whole concept of growing i may try it, i guess seeing it for myself is enough to sway me towards giving things a chance. i look forward to seeing how this rewards you though mate i am quite a fan of the ol' amnesia. i get that mate if i could sit with mine all day i think i would, i just find it harder to resist temptations the more i spend time with her in her later stages haha, especially with how nice she smells. and no worries man i think she looks great
@ganjaman94, I generally do both LST and FIMing on all my Ladies (Auto or Photo). With Autos I generally do not do any stress inducing elements once flowering has kicked on, but will occasionally defoliate if there is too little light penetration to parts of the tree. I have grown a couple of Autos with no training just some defoliation here and there, and found they grew great! I guess the point is that I love Growing and being in my Garden and being active with my Ladies so I cant help but want to mess with them as they grow π! Thanks for commenting, following and growing! Together we can make a difference!
@Rtush, Yeah, Shes a strong one! Its 3 weeks from full germination, but still impressive. Fastest startI've ever grown. Just hope we can keep it strong the whole cycle!
@biggreens420, Im really hoping the colors come out well from flush! Im going to do a 2 day dark-period too this round. I also did a Bud Coloring test on my last harvest with some organic food colorings that turned out super amazing, so Im going to be trying a few of these for this round to add some interesting aesthetics π
This looks fantastic man, she has certainly grown into a nice sized plant for an auto.. And they look like some nice long colas man, Looking nice and frosty too bro excited to see how this ends for you mate
@BudKingsGrow, fair play man.. If mine turn out ok I would definitely recommend it, only thing I worried about was the extra heat but as the leds don't get to hot adding a 4inch intake fan at the bottom managed to sort the temperature out in no time, I will most certainly check them out mate I am quite interested to see how well you get on, and which methods work out best! Good look bro, and thank you!
@ganjaman94, Yeah, I've thought a lot about adding an HPS for Budding (most articles I've read say HPS provides better flowering), but haven't got around to it yet! As for training an Auto, You do want to be more careful and especially keep it to as early as you can. Once in Flowering you'll want to keep the stress as low as possible. I am working a bunch of different training regimes currently and all on Auto, so you can use me grows as a reference for what you can/cant do with Autos. Good Luck with your 2 kinds of light man, Bet it works great!!!
@BudKingsGrow, she looks great man you have done good by her for sure! In your opinion would you say auto's are as fragile as people make out? I am always being told not to do anything but low stress train them as they can't really take much stress,yet I have seen a good few grows now that seem to make that advice sound wrong.
have you considered adding another light bro? Maybe like a small hps or something, may do something to add to the bud size, I have just done it with my auto's today man putting them under the two types of light.. Hoping the led helps with trichome production and the hps adds the weight, could be worth giving it a try man may just give it that boost your looking for
@BudKingsGrow, just bought @1200w bestva lol hope it work out now the weathers changing! I need a switch from hot lights. It seems the best for its price plus a 3 year warranty! Can't grumble at that can you! Haha
@CAMOGROWN, Thanks Camogrown! The Mars Hydro Reflector Series 720w that this Girl is under can easily fit 2 large profile full grown Trees, or 4 smaller profile Autos. In a SOG, you could do up to 5 but that'd be tight. The Maravi Reflector Series 300w I have next door to my Mars Hydro can take 2 Girls, and the Meihzi Reflector Series 300w in my Grow Room 2 can support 3. It's also how big your grow space is and how reflective the walls are also. If you're not afraid to spend some money, the Electric Sky ES300 is a killer LED but it'll run you around $700.
@TeflonDonFarms, To be honest, I'm a pretty big fan of smaller Buds usually. Don't get me wrong, a nice, fat, beautiful, big Bud is sexy, but it's almost a travesty when you have to break it up for consumption lol! I do see a difference with CO2 in my Grow Room - Now a lot of GD growers will tell you that there are variables like temp, humidity, and PPMs of CO2 that will either make or break the effectiveness of adding CO2, but I find that this simple rig of warm sugar water with yeast hooked to fish tube and an air-stone does give my Ladies a boost without too much focus on getting the science just right. And with how cheap and easy the rig is, Why the heck not!!! I usually wash out the containers and re-do them once per week.
@BudKingsGrow,Ran into the same thing with the pineapple I just grew. I left them and she rewarded me with atleast an once of smaller nice buds. Sheβs lookin hella fine! Sheβs a monster. That red neck CO2 maker is fuckin awesome. Can you see a definitive difference having it in there?
@TeflonDonFarms, I'm shocked by this Lady's Bud formation so far! I left a lot of lower Bud sites vs. trimming to focus Her on main top colas so I'm not sure how big they will get... But there will be lots of them π Thanks for the support TeflonDonFarms!
@TOTEM, Me too Totem!! This training regime really does produce tons of Bud sites and large profile size - Need to have a big Grow Room though lol! This is the best part of being a Grower is watching your Ladies give us their best in Flower... Love Cannabis π
@BudKingsGrow, Hey bro! Yap is because many of us make autos, I personally mix the cycles for the sake of variation. LST is the only advisable tecniche for autos and cloning autos is generally known as not worth the work, ππ , though you don't see a lot of experiences in this field! Hope for a successful outcome, happy growing! π Cheers!
@CANNASIM, Wow! I'm surprised by all the "clone" comments! I guess I blundered in my attempt to utilize the cutting I had taken from this auto lol!
I'll know for next time that cloning is for photo plants π
@Tistou, They were free seeds fro my last Auto purchase from Herbies Head shop. Found this strain to be fairly easy to grow, but very sensitive to light cycle (So no variations from 12-12 when in flower or it will revert to veg)
