Great stuff, I love it. Growing it was moderately hard, however, this might be because this is only my second grow ever, and I still manage to keep her alive and happy for most of the 4 months! I have sampled it twice already a week apart each time, and the flavor is delicious, not really fruity, but more like piney, or spicy with a very hint of sweetness. Definitively a day strain, my wife and I get super energized and creative when smoking it. Actually, we sometimes lost track of time, and of how much work we have already done when smoking it, until we start to feel exhausted and note that we have been working for hours nonstop! At least this is how it feels for us. Would recommend, despite its long flowering time. I will update when we dry and cure properly this beauty!

About this diary> So I've made it to the end! This baby didnt die on me! This diary was half a record for myself, to keep improving and contrasting against my future grows in and out of this wonderful platform (growdiaries), and half a tutorial for other noobs like me. That's why I wrote somewhat long explanations about some of the things I myself found confusing during this and last grow. I also repeated myself, but again mostly because I was trying to learn while doing. I got some help from other growers in the community, which was very nice, and different from trying to figuring out everything by oneself. This girl stretched a lot! from about 30 cm at the end of flower to about 90 cm before harvest, it survived nutrient burn, an accident were I dropped something heavy on her on flower, accidentally chopping a branch during LST and spider mites. However, still yielded nicely. I cant imagine what these genetics could become in the hands of a master grower!! About the growing conditions> The idea of the grow was, not only to learn how to grow a somewhat long flowering strain (6 week veg, 10 weeks flower) but also doing it very cheaply. I think the most expensive thing I bought was the seed from RQS. I built my own light fixture (from 4x 4.00CAD COBs from aliexpress), some cardboard, wire, sticks, tape and aluminum foil. I also used dollar store nutrients (like 15% of a 15-15-15 veg mix, and a 15-30-15 flowering mix). I timed this strain to finish a few weeks before the temperature really starts dropping outside, and was always able to keep it around 20-29C without any air conditioner/heater. About growing amnesia haze> I harvested this plant on the early side, but I found it a challenge not to harvest earlier! Since many weeks ago the delicious smell has been filling the room and some parts of the house... Plus, its a long wait... However, I think it was very well rewarded :) As I said, the high is creative, giggly, energetic and uplifting, at least from the premature samples we got. I will update this once the real deal is dry and cured :) About the harvest> Well in terms of numbers, I will update this when the weed is done drying, but I can do an estimate right now... each sample I took weighted about 1.45g wet, and dried to a 25% of that (0.35 g each)... It means that what I weighted from the harvest (412.86g + a bunch of trim) would probably weight about 100g when dry... Let's see how it goes in a week or two :)

I've been giving 6.5 pH water once and the next time I add nutrients until I get an EC of 1mS/cm. This was ok before (runoff didn't show many nutrients on soil). Now I water 2.5L/day but the plant leaves nutrients in soil (runoff EC increases rapidly!) It's in week 4 of flower.

keep in mind that PPM/EC meter can lose their calibration, I run promix and monitor my PPM/EC and if its much higher than I put in I lessen the amount in the feed, but this is my first time so take it for what it is. I just wanted to mention the calibration thing, because i have 3 meters, only one is correct you can get calibration fluid online, fairly cheap i paid $10 for a small bottle of 1000PPM, my one meter tested within 1 pt, so i know its good, the other read 600 and the other read 1500. Also the error doesn't seem linear and the gap widens significantly the higher the PPM, for example the Good meter that reads 1000 the other read 1500 if the good one read 1400, the bad one could be as high as 4000ppm I couldn't make sense of it. From the thumbnail above this text box, it looks like u might have one of the cheap meters i have i'd buy some calibration fluid just to have some peace of mind gl. Barring that you can strictly follow the guidelines for your feed, and adjust based on need and symptoms or you can use your meter as a rough estimate, and learn "the new scale its given you" GL you'll get through this

Hello fellow growers, I am a noob and I feel I am close to my harvest week, could you have a look at the trichomes in the pic and there is a video in my diary week 7. It's an Amnesia Haze, vegged for 6 weeks and it's on 8th week of flowering. What do you think? close to harvest?

Here I'll just assume that you've smoked weed before, or you probably wouldn't have started growing yourself. Well, it's entirely up to you when to harvest, depending on what kind of high your prefer. For instance, You'll get an energetic high with more "milky" trichomes, while you'll get a stoned high with more amber. Tho, it's also a little depending on the plant how much amber is needed for the stoned high. - Harvesting with a lot of clear trichomes, should be avoided tho, since they don't really contain any THC. so you'll just have wasted your time caring for the plant, if your intent is getting high off of it.. Personally, I prefer a stoned high, so I wait longer than most people before harvest.

@Ferenc, Thanks man, its been a bit of challenge to keep her alive for about 4 months already... partly because I am still learning, and partly because since the day I planted it I already wanted to smoke it xD

Nice training my friend will surly be ready for the flip soon :) Good cloning too is that a dwc bucket or just water ?

@TheUk420Show, Thanks bro, I had to develop this very special way of cloning because of the first pheno I got, it was a blueberry cannabis which was very very hard to clone. I tried rockwool, dwc, cup of water, aloe Vera, honey, rooting hormone. So in the end only this combination of techniques was able to reliably clone every cutting. So I think that having such a picky plant allowed me to learn a lot, I wouldn't had tried any other method of the cup of water worked. So, if you have the time/money to do it, just try it, you might learn many useful and fun things on the road, and at worst you gained experience and know why it doesn't work for you. When it comes to the clones, I agree with you, they take more time to grow big and thick compared to a seed (in my limited experience). But they are a guaranteed exact copy of the mother. Let's say you make medicine with your cannabis, you would want every single pill from every single harvest to have the same effect on you.

@Symbiosis_420, That sounds like a very fool proof system for cloning :) I've only ever my current run with clones and well I'm not sure I'll run them again. Yes its cheaper but they dont grow like plants from seed they don't stretch much and the branches end up quite skinny in my experience they cannot support the weight of the buds maybe I'm missing a trick when it comes to vegging but my feed solution does contain silicon so they should not be like that take a look at mine and see what you think :) Maybe I didnt veg them long enough ? My routine for taking cuttings can see them root in around 4-5 days. though I do not use the dwc buckets to clone I just use rock wool i simply cut the stem and dip it in some hormone and wack it iin the rock wool use a humidifier to push the humidity up to 90 or so percent for two days and that usually does the trick I've taken cuttings from a cutting before and still worked out fine as it was getting too large lol. Recently took cuttings for a friend who was struggling done 8 for him and all 8 have rooted so happy days :) I have thought about getting an eextra bucket for clones but If its not broke dont fix it lol. defo upload some piics we all love to see diy projects and get ideas from other peoples styles of growing its what this site is all about ::) stay safe man and good luck for the rest of the grow the best part is yet to come :)

@TheUk420Show, Thanks a lot! It's a DIY dwc bucket I use for clonning. Basically a 2lt plastic ice-cream bucket (painted black to avoid algae growth) filled with water. I also cut some holes in the lid for the cuttings and added a 3 liter/min aquarium airpump). I also have a clonning ritual that works for me. First I place my cuttings in rooting hormone and leave them in small shot glasses in lowlight. It's only after I would see roots start to pop out, that get them into the dwc ice-cream bucket. It works everyrime! I've run some experiments (although, only with two strains) and it seems to me that the higher concentration of IBA makes them start to root faster in the cup than in the dwc (where the rooting hormone gets diluted in the solution); but once the roots are out, they grow like crazy in the oxigen rich water of the dwc. That's why I do this combination. I might add some pics about it later.

Runoff in soil is kind of misleading. It does not make much sense to meassure it. Actually I don't water to runoff with soil. During flowering stage I feed every time I water with an EC range of 1.6 to 1.9; new fresh all-mix kind of soil can have a runoff over 10.000 PPM (20 EC), after weeks of pure watering, when the runoff reaches 2500 PPM (5 EC), I start getting deficiencies.

@@Athos, thanks for your answer. I didn't know that about the soil ppm. I guess I won't worry too much about it if I have no signs of nute burn and I ma not feeding too high of an EC. This is only my second grow, and on the first one I almost killed a blueberry cannabis by feeding it too many nutrients causing lockouts, so I guess I was too afraid something like that would happen, specially on this long flowering strain.
