Seeds sprouted nicely... phew! Tap roots were nice and fuzzy... and are now in their forever homes :) I'll see about adding more lights to the grow room but for now... I'm more interested in keeping the temp and humidity in range.
Both seeds opened up nicely :)
Having a hard time with RH. Need to figure that out over the next day or two.
Will have to dig out the humidifier.
Also need to move the fans in.
It took a bit of work to get the RH up to 25-28%, but the cool mist humidifier seems to be working really well. I managed to get the lighting up and the temperatures down to 26C by replacing my blurple lights with QB lights... what a huge improvement! I started a weak solution for nutrients this week. They are looking really good! You can already see lots of growth at the nodes... these are looking like good genetics :)
Both plants are looking good! I've increased the nutrients to ~2ml/L and they are growing fast and furious! I'm having fun watching these ladies grow. What a huge difference the temp and RH makes!
They are flowering already! Wow... l added a bit of calmag to address some minor indications, but overall the plants are growing well and fast! I used a bit of LST during the week to deal with apical dominance and the lower branches shot up nicely. I'm really liking the way these ladies grow :-)
I think I have these ladies sorted out now. I let the roots dry out for a few days, and I moved the lights further away from the canopy. Next weeks photos will show a huge improvement. Live and learn... it sucks to see the plants struggling like that.
One of my plants was rife with spider mites... took me long enough to figure it out that it spread to my other plants. I had to remove the infected plant... she was beyond recovery. The others I am treating with detergent insecticide spray which is made specifically for spider mites. I have one Amnesia Haze plant left. She looks pretty good though and I think she will pull through to harvest.
Spider mites :( So far I have managed to keep this plant alive, but she's badly injured. I have a few more seeds, so I'll try again, because these plants looked sooo good before the infection. I'm disappointed, but we're gonna push through to harvest.
This grow was very difficult for me... it was my first encounter with insects in my indoor grow room. My Amnesia Haze started off looking amazing, with dense foliage and loads of branching... and then things started going badly. I was excited at the beginning because I got rid of my old LED lights and replaced them with new QB low temp lights. My temperature and RH% were spot on, and yet I started to see yellowing leaves and spots. I thought maybe it was light burn, or calmag deficiency. I had come to the conclusion it was a root problem due too small pots... but then I noticed tiny insects on my plants... you can see the progression in my photos. I had to remove one of my Sweet Amnesia Plant from the grow room because the infestation was beyond my ability to control. I had to throw away two smaller plants (different diary), but I managed to get this one through harvest. I clipped off almost all of the fan leaves, and I soaked the roots and stems liberally with insecticidal detergent. I sprayed the leaves down multiple times and then later rinsed them off... what a total nightmare! She offered a small yield after all was said and done... but I learned a lot from this grow, and I'm something to show for it.
Smoke report: whew, not weak this lady! sativa for days... been high for an hour now and don't see the indica yet. Definitely reminds me of Cosmic Queen both in terms of effect and appearance of the plant and bud. I'm not sure it's cerebral, but I'm stoned and cross eyed and hoping I don't regret this in the morning, LOL. Hey, are you writing down what I just said? (yes, I am, I hijacked the grow report because we're too stoned to do it without help). Ok, just grow some :) Trippy shit. he he. My husband was so talkative on this stuff that I couldn't focus and he had to take over typing or a bit.
Wish we had more of this :)

@Sweet_Seeds, Thanks for letting us try Amnesia Haze... I can already tell it's going to be a solid favourite. The vibe is so much fun! We were laughing like fools and couldn't get the smoke report written up properly. That means it's a win. We would have had a much better result, except I ended up with a spider mite infection in my grow room. I lost three plants, and two were very sick - so sick they almost didn't make it to harvest. Lots' of lessons learned, and we managed to walk away with a modest yield. Would love to try again once I get my grow room sanitized... because I could tell right from the start that these are monster genetics :-)
Thanks for sharing a new diary with one of our strains.
We hope you enjoy it :P
Once finished, with the final notes of the strains, you can ask us for more seeds to share another diary.
Sweet smokes!

Niceee glad you succeeded in sprouting. I'm am. Starting a cross of this strain from Xs just put them in a Danm paper tower and ziplock 10 minutes ago!
Hi AnneJ, I've had the exact same problems before. My thoughts on your struggles are all ph related, in my case minerals built up and caused the ph to go up in the grow medium and flushing helps, but I started to measure the ph of my run off and it was in the 7's. I started to ph at 5.8 for nutes and got it down to 6.8 r/o it took about 3 feed/flushes to adjust it back back to a 6.3 r/o. It lookes like a calmag deficiency and it is but it's caused by the elevated ph preventing plants from taking in water and nutes. This also means the plants just soak in a wet pot all the time causes the hooked tip on fan leaves, typical sign of overwatering. By the time I got it figured out and corrected the grow was done. No worries though, that plant was some of the best weed in the last 50 years. I do keep a lot closer eye on my ph run off in the veg stage now. You may want to back off the nutes and flush using fresh ph-ed rainwater, that is less likely to contribute to a mineral build up. All that means is I'm no expert and there's a hundred ways to screw a plant up, believe
on that.. 2n or 3rd opinions wouldn't hurt. :) Hope they get well and good luck. Happy grows.
@Loserofthemonth, interesting... i'll be brave enough to try it as an experiment. i'll do a bit more research first. i have heard root trimming can be useful...
@Njanne, I know nothing about using dirt indoors. I use fox farms that I supplement with compost and an array of amendments. My brother grows photoperiods in dirt inside, and he runs into root bound nute lock etc... I know he has to occasionally dig down about 4 inches in a five gallon pot and cut out roots. Yikes! But his plant will perk up in a day or 2 and be fine. Ok I'm definately not recommending that but I swear he is crazy enough to do so.
@Loserofthemonth, thanks for taking the time to check out my plants and share your experience/advice... I'm a little bit nervous about the whole measurement of pH which is why I don't grow hydro LOL... I might need to look into this a bit more. I wonder if I grow with no nutrients would it be a better outcome? Like you said... the buds look really good, and they seem to be filling out nicely. I'll try some flushing to see if that helps... I don't have a very good way to collect run off water to measure pH... I suppose I could rig something up but I really am too lazy for that! LOL.
hey there! This could also be salt stress by using LED - move your light up about 6-8 inches and see how the plant reacts...you're looking for "praying" of the top leaves which will tell you..."thanks mommy! - I can breathe a bit better now!". Nutrients will get "locked" into the leaves and get trapped by the light intensity - eventually causing the spotting you're seeing (rusty spots starting on the inside and eventually going necrotic) - you're feeding CalMag which tells us calcium / magnesium isn't the issue. 😊
@CannaScuzzyB, you are exactly right. After trying *everything* I could think of, I raised the lights and dimmed the strongest light... they are way better now!
