Day 49 today and the start of an attempt at drought stressing her . The science says to withhold water until a noticable droop on their frame bit rhisnlady is a solid limbed , woody beast so that won't happen the same at all. To counter this I expect around 7 days is all I will push it too so right on point for a final weeks feeding before harvest and ripening. The effect hoped for a is a noticable difference in the thc and oils produced. It sounds similar in move as other methods like stem splitting , taking chunks out as though being threatened by wildlife ect.. but is more in keeping with seasonal changes and auxin changes. I did leave my last crop in the dark for over 7 days drying but didn't benefit too much from that. It is something I have wondered about since reading about it.
I pulled the Red Hot Cookie and the Sweet Afghani Delicious as rhe tank took a turn for the worse so took the sensible option. S.a.d is drying but I quick dried the Rhc and had a few nice joints from her. not her full potential but certainly helped me sleep. lol
Amnesia haze is mid way through her second pistil flush with plenty of fresh ones backing them up too . Her overall size and bud yield should be even better once they begin to discolour and push even more trichromes from this amazingly sweet and fruity girl.
She was the 1st to show hunger issues before i used the megacrop addition so was taking all her stashed nutes . shebhas rewarded me with a very good sized plant that is a star to work with.
He buds are rock solid to touch and leave a beautiful smell on my fingers when touched. The trichromes are slowly being hidden by the newer pistil growth but inexpectbsjebwill build on them too. I didnget a day of high humidity when my dehumidifier filled up and switched off. This managed to allow some bud rot onto 1 cola but I caught it early enough to not be an issue now. She has done her breeders proud indeed. I hope the pics do her justice as I love this lady and how's he is finishing. 2 weeks max now I think. Enjoy the vid and pics. thanks for stopping in. Roll on the sweet seeds autos.....
@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.
