Amnesia Haze Auto (Nirvana)

Seeds are about a year since I ordered and sprouted on 6th day after planted. Grow space is crowded as I have 2-3 weeks left on blue mystic autos but I'm trying to get through my auto seeds so I can try out some new Fem seeds this summer. I have two 300W LED lights about 12 -16inches from tops of flowering plants (BM) and 36 in from seedlings (AH). I also have 2 small 10w LED grow lights 8in above each seedling to assist in early growth. I tried some LST on the BM and plan to do the same with the AH. I apply a light amount of fox farms nutrient line up every other watering and used FF soil too.

10 days in and they are getting stronger. I turned off supplemental lights and lowered main light to 24 in. I applied light nutes, FF big bloom (0 - 0.5 - 0.7), for first time today and will move to larger pots this weekend, maybe sooner. I also have the BM autos in flower right now so I rearranged my space to increase air flow and light exposure. Also trimmed up leaves on BM and they have responded. They have started to fill in this past week and look strong with a few more weeks left. I hope to harvest by the holiday season next month!

It's been about 10 days since I last posted. I transferred AH to larger pots and will transfer once more once the BM are cut. One of the AH has been developing quicker than the other so I have started LST on it to see if the lower stems will grow in stronger. The Blue Mystic I thought would be closer to harvest right now but I think they still have a good 7-10 days on one and 10-14 on the other. I didn't track their progress early and don't recall when they sprouted but I was thinking they were about 70days old but after reviewing, I think they are 60-65 days. I'm getting anxious with them but I'm confident my patience will be rewarded! I could use some feedback on something that bothered me the last couple weeks. The space has smelled earthy, almost like a damp basement when I first open it. I was worried it was mold or mildew so I've made sure everything is clean and dry and I checked all the plants, flowers, and dirt and no signs of mold. My humidity has been low too. The BM that is 10-14 days out has a milder and earthier smell than the other BM and BMs I've had in the past. I separated it in another room and after about 30 min I checked on the grow space and the smell was gone and it smelled sweet like the BMs I've hadn't in the past. I checked on the other room and it was that earthy smell. I re-examined the plant and everything looked fine and didn't smell moldy close up. So should I be worried or is it just a plant with more recessive traits? I'm going to keep the yields separate just in case but feedback would be great. I have a 3rd BM that is a couple weeks behind the others and I've found bananas on her right at the top. I'm guessing light is too close which triggered them. I've cut the top bud but im concerned it self pollinated and it could cross pollinate the more mature ones. Thoughts on if I should completely remove her and cut my losses or give her time and see? Since this is a feminized auto, i know it has hermie traits in the genetics but this is the first time I've seen naners on a plant and this has been a stable environment so a little surprised by it.

We're 2 days in to week 4 and the amnesia haze is coming along. If I recall these really take off during preflower and near double in height. I think we are around 10 days from preflower. I'm hoping they stay under 30 inches so I don't have to rearrange my lights too much. I'll transplant to larger pots after I harvest one of the Blue Mystics. The BMs had a good week. I gave the last feeding to the one that seems a few days ahead. I would like to harvest one in the next 7-8days. The other I will give at least one more feeding. The smell issue I had earlier from BM2 is not as noticeable but when I isolate her to take pics and inspect she clearly has an earthier scent than the others. It's not as strong nor as pleasant and still has me perplexed. Would love feedback from others on if you've had the 2 plants of the same strain smell noticeably different. I have a 3rd BM I started a few weeks after the others. This one had bananas last week that I think were from light stress. I removed them and decided to keep (her?) around. No other signs of issues so far and she seems to be developing normal. At worst I have a rare seed in a bud or two (I think it would stay isolated to the buds around the naners...)? Note: I've heard it's not wise to grow a seed from a hermie as it passes those traits on but I'd still give them a try to see what happens. I'm looking forward to the different stages of harvest for the BM. I prefer a more energetic high than couch lock so I don't mind cutting a little early but figuring out the flush window is always a challenge and a lot can happen in a week with autos so I'm a little uneasy about my timetables. Update: decided to harvest the top part of BM1. It's only been 7 days since their last feeding so not completely flushed yet but I left most of her and plan to harvest in about 5 days. Wet weight came out to 59g/2 oz. I think that will be a little under a 1/2 oz dry.
