What's Good GD Community!! Whats's everyone smoking on today??! I've been smoothing out to some Green Crack this AM 😉
(Be sure to spread those Good Vibes and Cannabis Love whenever and wherever you can)
Hitting you with start of Week 3 for my Expert Seeds Amnesia Haze Auto Comparative Grow!!
Both of these Ladies are looking great! The 1gal Gal is definitely shorter and denser than Her 3gal Sister, but both have made it to 3rd nodes with no signs of issues.
Topped 3rd node on both Ladies last week and they took it like champs!! Besides that, There's not a whole lot to discuss. Feeding them BioBizz Week 3 Nutes: Bio-Heaven, Alg-A-Mic and Fish-Mix. Also adding Expert Gardener Tomato and Vegetable Cal/Mag/Zinc Time-Released supplement this week. Cal/Mag/Zinc is all you need to supplement BioBizz Nutrient line - I use 2 Teaspoons pellets spread around plant and then stirred into top soil before watering - Once around week 3 and then in first week of flower.
So far so good on this Compare Grow! Looking forward to further along in grow where the differences should be more visible!
Appreciate your support and likes, as well as all the work you do on your own GDs!! You guys rock!
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
Odor Level: fruity, floral
Effect: euphoric, relaxing after a while
BioBizz Nutrient Line Info (Note: Only other supplement needed with BioBizz Lineup is Cal/Mag/Zinc):
Root-Juice allows an optimal development of the roots of the plant. It moreover stimulates the growth of the plants that are already rooted because Root-Juice imitates the natural life of the soil in the surroundings of the rooting. Through the strong growth of the roots, the plant is better prepared to absorb nutrients.
Bio-Heaven improves the effects of all foliar sprays and fertilizers used to feed the plant. At the same time Bio-Heaven rids the plant of toxins, it repairs the chlorophyll production and restimulates the plant. By using Bio-Heaven the plants’ energy will be increased! Use during the entire grow and flowering period of the plant. Besides, it can be used on every substrate, on coco and in hydrosystems.
Bio-Grow is a liquid growth fertilizer which can be applied to most types of soil and substrate mixtures. Bio-Grow activates the bacterial flora in the substrate thanks to it basis of 100% Dutch organic sugar beet extract, commonly known as vinasse. Vinasse is syrup that contains sugar.
Fish-Mix enables substrates to stimulate bacterial flora and accelerate growth. It is an infusion of organic fish emulsion from the North Sea mixed together with extract of Dutch sugar beet. Fish-Mix boosts growth of all living organisms in the substrate, as well as improving and stimulating production of microorganisms and useful bacteria in every type of soil and coco-based substrates.
Alg-A-Mic ensures green leaves, by stimulating the absorption of chlorophyll. Alg-A-Mic contains a low level of NPK, therefore it is impossible to create an Alg-A-Mic overdose.
Bio-Bloom is a complete liquid organic fertilizer which contains a small amount of nitrogen and enough phosphorous and potassium to ensure exuberant flowering. Trace elements and hormones of vegetable origin are also added to improve the flowering process. It also contains enzymes and amino acids, which work in harmony with the soil to promote flowering and fruit production. Potassium helps the forming and flowering of petals and bulbs. Phosphorus gives the nutrients that are necessary to make the calyces and the petals grow.
Top-Max is a 100% organic flowering strengtheners which has the threefold purpose of increasing the actual size and weight of clusters of flowers, leaving a sweet, smooth taste in the finished product and facilitating the uptake of nutrients by the plants. Top-Max liberates ions like calcium, iron and magnesium, which stimulate the metabolism of the plant.
Cant recommend BioBizz Nutrients more!! They work well every time 👌
@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.
