Hi all. What a week this has been . After an initial good start ( following rescue) all was going well but I was struggling to keep them moist enough in the old plugs I had used. We had a few days of heatwave that hit us unexpected too and that was the final nail in their coffin. After their dark period ended I got in as soon as i could but the daytime heat had reached 38°c . I had two that looked as though they would make it through but the rest were frazzled. I was gutted. I did an emergency germination session but only had 1 of each strain left to pop. Thankfully I did get them up and at least have all 3 strains to try out . It has meant a multi strain grow with 9 different ladies to keep happy now and i am hoping it is possible to pull it all together to get a good canopy set up. The new light is great and being able to dim it instead of moving it up and down is helpful. The 1st Amnesia haze is loving life and hasn't really skipped a beat since the near death experience. She will be a week ahead of her rivals but L.s.t should even the game out later. As for week counting with the GD diary , I think I will count week 1 as the main group and not the Amnesias age.
@GardenOfSixx, I started at about 18 and dimmed them initially to 25% on thebsp300. They were not under direct light but sat offset between the two lights. I moved them under the sp3000 ti finish veg time just prior to flipping them. mostly been on 100% at the 14 inches . you will notice issues with bleaching out or upward curling leaves if too close intensity will damage them before heat I feel. In flower it is easy to spot too much light as an issue.
@GardenOfSixx,I tend to forget about the various data on the weekly updates. oops. I did run it between 14 and 16 inches away from the tops. had no issues with distance at all at that. caught the canopy well too lower down
@SmokinGas,Thank you. I have to saybiy is the genetics too. These amnesia are great growers so far. cannot wait to sample her. Thank you for the positive comment.
@SmokinGas,thank you. they did get a really good 6-7 week veg period while i was waiting for some others but i am impressed with their growth rates. great strain
@SwedenX,Thanks for the comments . I didna water drought and the new sp3000 so I don't know which is responsible for the build up. lol. Next run should help determine the lights capabilities against the other Mars ones I have. have 3 strains so can compare nicely among the set up I hope.
@FreshCoastOrganics,Hi , thank you for the positive vibe. Its been a journey with this one.lpl never done a low plant count before but love the room to train more. Thanks for stopping by.
@Sweet_Seeds,Thank you. The amnesia haze is a beauty to grow so far , so aggressive and healthy. I will bring thebother 2 strains back from their root issues too. In recovery right now with new roots forming up better. Thanks for the comments
@PrairieFrostGrow, Thank you. Slowly winning now i think. Has to have been the most difficult germination in years for me . Fingers crossed it gets moving now.
Be careful with the humidity, it seems that you have it very high. Try to keep the humidity below 50% to avoid fungus problems. 💪
Sweet smokes!

@Sweet_Seeds,I have it low again now , the dehumidifier bypass failed and it switched off for the night. Thanks Apolo. so close to finish now too. beautiful plant.
