Hi growmies. Hope we are all well and still sane?.
This week has been another roller coaster for the ladies.
Amnesia Haze has gone crazy with growth this week. She has taken over 25 L of water this week to cope with the heatwave we are having. It has been up around 24°c just before lights off at 12pm. I am glad i decided to use the nights for the lights on period now.
I did lose the 5th node on the Amnesia sadly but the remaining 4 nodes are little powerhouses of growth tips.
She has also reached the pots edges after i supercropped them earlier in the week. They had bounced back by the next day .!!!. I love this strain so far..
The remaining ladies havevhad to cope with some issues this week. Heat and light intensity from the new Mars at 100% power took a toll on their chlorophyll production abilities. I have since dropped the power by 25% and raised the light a little too. The yellowing has not worsened and new growth below is looking good so far.
The worse affected was the Red Hot Cookies but now they both look settled root wise , they have improved the last few days too.
I did a pH check and got 7.2ph so I did use some ph down to drop it to 6.0.
There is a huge difference in the 3 girls and it is shocking to see what just 2 weeks germination gap can cause.
I do know the NFT can catch up once it gets its roots into the matting more. Fingers crossed we see some improvements this coming week.. Be well.
@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.
