What's Good GD Community!
Expanded grow to another small closet so I could get to more of the seeds I went OCD on ordering! Grow Room 2 is 3.5ft x 2ft running a Meihzi Reflector Series 150w LED (I would absolutely love to get an Electric Sky ES300 LED Grow Light but the price tag is just out of reach!). Moved my Nefertiti 2 and Amnesia Haze 2 grows into this room as well as this comparative grow here.
Had 2 Expert Seeds Amnesia Haze Auto seeds left and decided to pop them for a comparative GD to see how AH will grow in different size smart pots. My Amnesia Haze 1 diary was grown in 5gal bucket (She is an absolute monster!), so this comp grow will be 1 in 3gal & 1 in 1gal smart pots. I will be training them the same way as my AH 1 grow to see what size growing container gives me a more manageable sized end product with this training regime!
These 2 beautiful Ladies were soaked in water for 24hrs before planting directly into end pots. Soil is Nature's Care Organic with 3 eggs on 3 inches of soil in bottom. They popped pretty much the next day and have had normal growth since 1/18/18. I gave a small first feeding with BioBizz's Week 1 schedule: Root-Juice, Bio-Grow & Bio-Heaven. I expect no real differences to show until deeper root development.
Thanks for tuning in to my grow experiment on this wicked Expert Seeds Amnesia Haze Auto!!
Until Next Week, Cheers!

Expert Seeds - Amnesia Haze Auto
After Haze genetics (Thai, Cambodian, Lao and Jamaican and Hawaiian Haze strains) arrived in Holland they were crossed among themselves resulting in several hybrids. An American expat blended one of these hybrids with a male derived from seeds of an old school Haze to create Amnesia Haze. They guys at the Expert Seeds laboratory set about crossing this super plant with Ruderalis genetics to give it the autoflowering gene without losing any of the characteristic taste or smell of the original. By crossing and re-crossing up to nine generations, we came up with Amnesia Haze Auto; a second generation automatic plant that grows taller than its predecessors and has fewer automatic characteristics while losing none of the sweet sativa taste and preserving the resin and flower yields of the original Amnesia Haze. In northern climes, this is an excellent option for early summer harvests while in a Mediterranean climate, two or even three crops a season are possible.
Genetic Background: auto sativa
Lineage: Amnesia Haze x Ruderalis
Yield: Indoor: 450-550g/ m2
Yield: Outdoor: 60-80g/plant
Flowering Time: 60 days
Harvest Month: 80-90 days from seed
THC: 21%
Taste: sweet Haze, floral
Odour Level: fruity, floral
Effect: euphoric, relaxing after a while
@Tazard,I hear you! Prohibition simply needs to end so Cannabis cultivators and consumers can feel safe in their own homes! You need to start a massive commercial grow to move through that many seeds any time soon lol!
Beautiful little plants Bud! Thanks for the shout out! I think that you will have better results with dry malt and beer yeast. You should get more vigorous carbon dioxide production, and it should last longer.
I like your container test idea. If I could grow in 1g pots then I could put more autos in a tent... I'd like to see the root ball when both plants are harvested. That might give some telling information. Otherwise, you have already touched on water usage, and schedules. Any changes on nutes?
@BudKingsGrow, You are right. I had several sets of tubing that I would use when one was clogged with Calcium, or whatever nutrient my reef tank needed. I cleaned them out and kept rotating them. Since I couldn't afford pumps and timers, cheap tubing and plastic valves did the trick.
@Quexos, Sounds amazing! I've looked at a few DIY options, but feel as though the organic nutrients I use would clog up those systems in a heartbeat. Will need a heavier duty, pumped feeding system. Even with the professional systems, a lot of growers on here complain about their auto-feeds clogging 😔 We will have to see though, because it's too early to tell yet from the pot size challenge!
@Jaindoh, I think if the small pot shows out good with a small profile, I might try for a 10 Lady mini SOG grow in my 2 x 4 room. I would definitely make an auto-feeding system for that grow that can be activated at any interval... Cause I believe you're right about the watering multiple times a day. Some of my 5gal bucket Ladies clear out 1.5gals of water a day! But thats why Im testing the method - I want to know for myself what I can get out of it! Love learning Cannabis Cultivation 😍
@BudKingsGrow, same time seeds arent THAT expensive you can just sog that bad boy! you may end up needing to water more often though. I'm afraid if I tried this in coir i'd need twice daily for 1gal
@Jaindoh, Me too!! If If I can get good results from my growing method out of a 1gallon pot, I might just switch over to running 1gallons for all my grows! I mean it would drop the cost of growing medium, nutrients needed, and space in my Grow Room!
I will have to admit though, I dont think the 1gallon is going to perform as well despite their closeness up to this GD Entry - Even since this Entry, the 3gallon has outpaced the 1gallon fairly dramatically. We will have to see!!!
They're looking great. Nice tight internodal spacing at week 4 and the leaves look perfectly healthy. Watched the video and enjoyed your cinematography! Continued best wishes on the grow!
@BudKingsGrow, That's so cool that you're doing this comparative grow. Thank you for that! I am going to say the 3 gallon pot will win in the end! I will be following along for sure!
good size on that 1 gal curious to see how it fills out
afaik thats all on feeder root volume/mass
also flipping a bit early sounds about right with what ive seen people speculate; "autos switch on when they fill their pot".
thoughts?
@Jaindoh, I'm very curious too. I feel like the 1 gallon is in perfect form for good Budding with staying fairly small profile. I could get 10 of these in my Grow Room 1 if they're this shape/size! I'm not sure about autos and pot size for flowering... I've had autos like @Fast_Buds C.C. engage flower at week 3 in a 5 gallon Pot with only minimal roots making it to bottom and then ive had this grow where it seems clear that She knows there is no more room for Her roots and decided to engage flower earlier. I think there's a plethora of variables like stress, pot size and genetics to name a few.
