🌱 Amnesia Skunk — Grow Update Week 6 From Seed · 12/12 From Seed (Early Flower / ~Week 2 Flowering Transition) Quick Recap (for new joiners) This run is 12/12 from seed, and we are now at Week 6 from seed, which places us roughly in early flower / second week of flowering transition, depending on how one prefers to count. No aggressive interventions, no forcing. This grow is based on observation, leaf positioning, and letting the plant express herself naturally. Amnesia Skunk has shown: • Strong vertical intent • Beautiful internodal spacing • A structure that responds extremely well to simple leaf bending She is clearly in flower mode now and transitioning smoothly. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update (and Why It Matters) • Day temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: ~65% Outside temperatures are still on the cooler side, but inside the room things have shifted naturally. As plant mass increased, lighting intensity was raised, and under-canopy lighting was introduced, the room itself became a stable heat source. This allowed us to raise temperatures without adding external heating or forcing conditions. This balance is important because it keeps plant metabolism active but relaxed, especially during early flower. VPD Perspective At ~28°C and ~65% RH, we are sitting in a comfortable early-flower VPD range, supporting: • Active transpiration • Nutrient mobility • Strong gas exchange Nothing extreme, nothing restrictive. ⸻ 💡 Lighting & Atmosphere (Why These Numbers Work) • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on plant size and position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm The PPFD range allows: • Smaller or lower sites to stay productive • Taller tops to push without stress This avoids the classic mistake of lighting only for the tops and forgetting the rest of the plant. CO₂ at ~900 ppm is intentionally moderate, not excessive. At this stage, it supports: • Faster carbon assimilation • Better light-use efficiency • No need to overfeed to “match” the CO₂ Everything stays balanced. ⸻ 🌬️ Airflow Strategy (This Is Not Random) • Vortex extraction • Cross-winds with multiple fans • Constant, gentle movement across the canopy The goal here is movement, not wind. Vortex extraction keeps fresh air cycling efficiently, while cross-winds prevent: • Microclimates • Stagnant humidity pockets • Weak stem development Leaves move gently, stems strengthen naturally, and flowers stay dry and comfortable as they form. Fresh air, no stress, no stagnation. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy (Why the Change Now) • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 This week marks a clear nutritional transition, guided by plant signals rather than calendar dates. Why pH 6.0+ from now on? As plants enter flower, nutrient uptake priorities shift: • Less focus on pure vegetative nitrogen pathways • More demand for elements tied to flower formation, enzyme activity, and energy transfer A slightly higher pH improves availability and balance of these elements in soil-based systems. The plant is clearly asking for it — posture, color, and growth rate all confirm this. ⸻ 🌱 Nutrient Change Explained • Removed: Terra Grow • Introduced: Terra Bloom — 5 ml/L Why remove Terra Grow now? Terra Grow is nitrogen-forward, designed to push vegetative mass. At this stage, excess veg-driven nitrogen can: • Delay flower focus • Encourage unnecessary leaf production • Blur the plant’s hormonal transition Why introduce Terra Bloom now? Terra Bloom supports: • Flower site development • Structural energy needs • Balanced nutrition without over-pushing foliage This is not a shock change. It’s a handover, and the plant is responding cleanly. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure, Leaf Work & Expression Amnesia Skunk continues to show excellent structure. • Leaf bending is the primary training method • No topping chaos, no forced stress • Just guiding light and space This method has: • Opened the canopy naturally • Preserved apical dominance while improving lateral exposure • Allowed the plant to stay confident and upright A few fan leaves were removed during photography — not as a defoliation event, but because they were funky, expressive, and worth documenting. Those leaves tell a story: • Healthy venation • Strong turgor • No deficiency signals • No toxicity They reflect a plant that is fed, lit, and aired correctly. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Expect: • Continued flower site stacking • Gradual stretch control through posture, not force • Increasing resin activity as flower identity locks in Do NOT expect: • Aggressive defoliation • Sudden stress techniques • Chasing numbers for the sake of charts This run stays calm. The plant leads, we follow. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words Thank you to: • Newcomers discovering this diary • Old souls following quietly • The curious, the critical, the supportive • Genetics, gear, sponsors • And the community as a whole It’s genuinely a privilege to share this space and this process. Amnesia Skunk is doing her thing — and she’s doing it beautifully.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Blue Cheese is officially in beast mode. She’s spread wide like a bonsai on steroids and showing off over 30+ bud sites across a super flat, trained canopy. Every top is reaching for the light—she’s stacking up nicely and loving the MPK boost. The smell is starting to whisper cheesy promises, and the stretch is just about done. Leaves are praying, growth is explosive, and airflow is steady. To do list Light defoliation to open up lower sites. Feeding bloom nutrients + MPK for stacking.

Hey guys :) The girls got topped once now, they still recovering from the light burn i did, Trying to ‚LST‘ 😄 Started giving nutes in a Half dosage at week 3 !

Here we are at roughly 3.5 weeks ane everything looks to be on track. These fastbud genetics are top notch. Cant wait for them to finish up.

Vamos familia tercera semana de vida de estás apollo black cherry de SeedStockers. Que ganas tengo de ver el progreso de esta variedad, las plántulas están sanas, se ven con buen color. La cantidad de agua cada 48h entre riegos. Esta primera semana ya añadimos nutrientes de la gama Agrobeta. Tuve problemas de trips en un indoor y tengo todas plagadas pero ya las e tratado con aceite de neem y un insecticida genérico, también añadí tiras azules, trataré esta semana. Trasplanté a maceta definitiva 7 litros. Estas próximas semanas veremos cómo avanzan.

So here we are Growmies, we arrived at the long-awaited flowering period. Basically this week wasn’t as busy as the previous ones. I stopped tucking branches at the end of the week so she can just focus on the stretch from now. At the beginning of the week we changed the solution as the DWC was almost empty, this means she drunk almost 10 litres last week.💦👨‍🌾🏻 It seems the leaf discolouration is totally gone so thanks to everyone for the tips. 👊🏻 That's why I love this community, I can always count on you growmies if I need help.🙏🌞 I could already see some pre flowering signs 7 days after the switch so that’s super fast imo. Running the TSW2000 at 45% around 30cm above the canopy. Wasn’t at home for a few days and only made a few shots this week. Hope everyone is having a great week. See you soon fellow gardeners.🌱🌞 Peace

~ WEDDING CHEESECAKE FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "A delight for the mind and body: Wedding Cheesecake FF (Fast-Flowering) is a delicious strain that offers XXL yields in a 7-8 weeks flowering cycle. This terpene powerhouse produces loads and loads of mouth-watering vanilla-creamy-cookie-scented terps with hints of citrus and cinnamon. In addition to its delicious aromas, this variety grows very well in both indoor and outdoor setups, yielding up to 650 g/m2 without extra maintenance, making it the ideal strain for beginners as it allows you to maximize yields while minimizing work. This super-fast feminized photoperiod version offers upbeat and energetic yet deeply relaxing effects that are perfect for consumers looking for a heavily focused, motivating, and creative high. It’s the ideal strain for those needing that extra energy boost to start a busy day on the right foot. Wedding Cheesecake FF boasts chunky, large-sized buds with a thick layer of silvery-white resin and bright orange hairs scattered all over: that just screams ‘quality’. The lime-green flowers sparkle with an array of hues ranging from dark to light green, to magenta and purple, and reek of a delicious aroma that’ll remind you of fresh store-bought cheesecake. This is an XXL hybrid that grows extremely tall in height, reaching up to 3m with one huge main cola and multiple long side branches that can withstand enormous yields of up to 650 g/m2 with ease. Wedding Cheesecake FF is extremely resilient to the elements and can be grown in almost every climate as long as you’ve got the space and basics covered, making her an excellent choice for those looking for large-scale harvests with a quick turnaround time without much effort." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Wedding Cheesecake FF indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 6/18- Week 12 and the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower from FastBuds is on a mission! The amount of growth happening right now can only be described as explosive, with new shoots appearing and existing branches going crazy with growth! 6/20- Our summer is here and we're under an early heat wave this week with daytime temp's hitting the mid to upper 90's ℉ with heat indexes in the low 100's ℉... in short, IT'S FNG HOT!🔥🔥🔥 I'm watering the Wedding Cheesecake FF daily now with 5-7g of straight well water from the garden hose. I'm watering at sundown so that the water will have some time to soak down into the soil before the heat evaporates it. The coating of straw that I previously spread over the soil has helped a lot as well. 6/22- The weather continues to relentlessly bake everything outside... many thanks for a good A/C!❄️ The daily watering continues and I also went ahead and removed a bunch of foliage that was below the trellis net. 6/24- Today I top dressed the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake FF with 2 cups each of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 along with 1 cup of Down To Earth Bio-Fish 7-7-2 and 1/2g of Wiggle Worm castings. After top dressing and working the amendments in by hand I replaced the straw coating over the soil and watered them in with 5g of straight well water via garden hose as usual. There goes another week for the Wedding Cheesecake FF and it won't be long before she begins to show signs of pre-flowering! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

This tent continues to impress. The XL's are really starting to stand out and take over the tent. This is a good lesson in auto seed buying and planning your grow. A regular auto will tend to stay short and bushy. An XL will grow tall. Which one will yield more???? Thats subjective. Which one will have less issues with humidity and bud rot? Certainly the xl. IT is my preference, hence why the trait is bred into BudXs2. You will get a kick out of how potent this flower is. Lets see some close up crystal shots next week, see if you can get a few natural daytime light photos:)

12. Woche Die letzte Woche ist angebrochen, ich habe den Dünger schon vor ein paar Tagen eingestellt und bin dazu übergangen sie täglich mit 2L Wasser zu spülen. Mitte der Woche werde ich den ganzen Topf einmal mit 30L Wasser durchspülen, damit zumindest die gröbsten Spuren aus dem Substrat kommen. Ich habe mich als Endlösung für Flawles Finish von Advanced Nutrients entschieden. Wir sind auf der Zielgeraden, North Thunderfuck Auto von Royal Queen Seeds hat wirklich schöne Buds entwickelt, sie sieht im Vergleich zum ersten Mal ganz anders aus. Richtig schöne kompakte heavy wight Buds. Sieht richtig toll aus bis jetzt. Die Lampe lief die letzten 2 Wochen auf 100%, auch dank des zusätzlichen Co2 ohne Probleme. Endspurt Ladys und Gentleman 🙂

Precisei remover a rede de scrog pois tive problemas na coluna e não estava conseguindo cuidar das plantas. Fiz o manejo apenas com LST. Não estou conseguindo corrigir a deficiência d zinco da white widow 2, ja fiz inclusive aplicação foliar mas a deficiência persiste em continuar.

This is the last week of edge then it's time to flip

Not much going this week, black domina x is flushing nicely now decent fade coming in on the leaves, getting super heavy. The super silver haze and banana sherbet are looking great got a few weeks left on them but trucking along nicely all the same.

Week 4 Broad Mite still making victim. On this week I watered she with water + diatomaceous earth Still waiting for better days, I hope hv succes 😐 Apparently the diatomaceous earth is working against broadmite 😅

-Flowering nicely and starting to bulk up -Some trichomes starting to amber

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 HAPPY GROWING 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 We are now 42 Days into flowering and everything is going great 👍 👈 We are now playing the waiting game 42 days down👌 Did a good strip 👌 defolation is complete 👌 and happy with out come 😄 👍 decided to showcase the Mini BigBand , was a extra seed that germed so I kept it as a Mini Me 😊 She's killing it 👈 Except for some watering it's been pretty smooth I've done a little maintenance and manipulation of the canopy 👈 👉Soil Medium Provided by ProMix.ca 👉Nutrients Provided by Agrogardens 👉Lighting Provided by MarsHydro.ca I would like to thank the many growmies for support throughout the years 🙏 So Let's Do This 👊👊👊 Happy Growing

Look like might be finished at the end of week 7 Smells like PB&J that in a gym bag Taste and high of Skunk #1

She need some time to get in flower. Hope she will turn in flower soon.
