🌿 Week 4 - Amnesia Haze Auto | Different Genetics, Different Timelines Hello everyone! Welcome back to another week of my little 12/12 adventure. If this is your first time visiting this diary, welcome! Grab a coffee, relax and enjoy the journey. This project is a little experiment I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Instead of growing one or two plants under perfect conditions, I decided to fill the room with many different genetics from different breeders and simply let every plant tell her own story. Every diary follows a single phenotype individually so we can really appreciate how unique each plant can be. Even though all these ladies are growing inside exactly the same tent… • same light • same feeding • same temperatures • same humidity • same watering schedule …every genetic expresses itself differently. And this beautiful Amnesia Haze Auto is already proving exactly that. ⸻ 🌱 The 12/12 Experiment One question I receive constantly is: “Why are you growing under 12/12 from seed?” Simple. Because I love learning. Running 12 hours of light from germination allows me to compare genetics under exactly the same flowering schedule while keeping the entire room manageable. Photoperiod varieties immediately enter flowering when mature. Autoflowers don’t depend on the light cycle, but they still develop under these conditions, allowing a fascinating comparison between genetics. This isn’t about chasing maximum yield. It’s about discovering how different plants react when every environmental variable stays the same. ⸻ 🌿 Week 4 — She’s Moving Fast! This week something became very obvious. Amnesia Haze has decided she isn’t waiting for anyone. While some of her roommates are still investing heavily in vegetative growth, this lady has already entered pre-flower and is preparing for the next chapter. That’s one of the things I love most about growing multiple genetics together. You don’t just learn how plants grow… You learn how different plants grow. Some stay compact. Some explode sideways. Some stretch. Some wait. Others, like this Amnesia Haze, simply decide… “Flower time!” And honestly… Watching every plant follow her own internal clock is one of the most rewarding parts of this project. ⸻ 🌿 Structure She’s developing a lovely natural architecture. Instead of becoming extremely bushy, she’s building a more open structure with nice spacing between branches. That should become a real advantage later in flower by allowing better airflow and light penetration. The stem is already thickening nicely and every branch feels strong and healthy. The colour is rich, vibrant green with beautiful fresh growth appearing every day. Exactly what I like seeing at this stage. ⸻ 🌸 Pre-Flower Has Arrived The biggest milestone this week is definitely the appearance of the first pistils. Tiny white hairs are now emerging at the nodes and growing tips, confirming she’s officially entering pre-flower. This doesn’t mean she’s finished stretching. Actually… The opposite. The famous flowering stretch is only beginning. Over the next couple of weeks she’ll likely gain quite a bit of height before focusing all her energy into building flowers. It will be exciting to watch how much she decides to stretch compared to the rest of the room. ⸻ 🌱 Hand Watered With Love Unlike some of my other projects, this plant isn’t connected to an AutoPot system. Everything she receives comes by hand. Every watering. Every nutrient. Every little adjustment. That also gives me the opportunity to inspect her closely every single day, monitor her response, and make tiny corrections whenever needed. Sometimes there’s something very relaxing about slowing down and watering by hand. It’s just me, the plant and a watering can. ⸻ 💧 Feeding This Week This week she received: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L pH was maintained around 6.1 EC around 1.35 She has accepted every feeding beautifully without showing any signs of stress or nutrient excess. The foliage remains healthy, vibrant and full of energy. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The environment has remained stable throughout the week. • 🌡️ Day temperature: 33°C • 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% • ? Substrate temperature: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient solution: 26°C • 🌿 Water consumption: approximately 1.1 L per day • 🌬️ CO₂: around 639 ppm Even with warmer daytime temperatures, she continues showing healthy growth and strong metabolism. ⸻ 🌿 Training I’m keeping the training simple. This project is more about observing natural genetic expression than forcing every plant into the same shape. A little Low Stress Training helps expose additional flowering sites while allowing the plant to continue growing without significant stress. The goal is balance. Guide her. Don’t fight her. Every genetic deserves the chance to show what it naturally wants to become. ⸻ Looking Ahead The next couple of weeks should be incredibly interesting. Now that pre-flower has officially begun, I expect to see: 🌿 More vertical stretch 🌿 Faster branch development 🌿 Additional flowering sites appearing 🌿 The first real stacking of future buds Every day should now bring visible changes. And that’s when the fun really begins. ⸻ Final Thoughts Watching different genetics grow side by side under identical conditions continues to be one of the most educational experiences I’ve ever had as a home grower. Some ladies are still building their framework. Others are becoming little bushes. And this beautiful Amnesia Haze has already decided it’s time to start writing the next chapter. I can’t wait to see where she takes us. ⸻ As always… Thank you to everyone who stops by, leaves a comment, shares advice, asks questions, or simply enjoys following along. A huge thank you to Zamnesia and Plagron for providing the genetics and nutrition that keeps these adventure thriving throughout the journey. To everyone reading… Thank you for being here. Take care of yourselves, take care of your gardens, and I’ll see you all next week. Growers Love and happy growing! 🌿💚

Excellent , trying to balance out two Photo & 2 Auto. All in fun .

Early morning day 1 we got a good rain. The girls loved it. This week has cooler night time Temps, storms, and low 90s upper 80s f day time Temps. Plants are getting into the super soil and out of the safe zone of plain organic soil. Next time I'll use a stronger mix of liquid feed for the safe zone. The plants didn't get enough nutes to grow fast. I'm still dialing in super soil/organic so there's a learning curb. I'm a little worried about topping these as I got a late start outdoors. I topped the biggest this week. The smallest got ravaged by an insect so I'll just let it grow out naturally.

Flowering looks awesome on the ChemDog! Lots of bud sites and they're growing at a respectable rate. ATF's are running 3 plants in 3 diff stages- one's a couple weeks into flower, one's just starting,and one's still the holdout. Meanwhile, I've got flowering on the Night Nurse and one of the Viper Cookies. The rest are close but I can't say for sure they've transitioned. Weather's getting into a hot and humid phase, gotta watch that ChemDog. Think it's got a decent structure for ventilation but I've read horror stories on how the Dog loves mold. Further training of the branches has been fruitful, I'm seeing a lot more topside bud sites than usual. I'm working on irrigation-- I set up a 30 gal container and it works for drip, but without a pipe system it's still one at a time, although I have to admit it's worth it to save my back. Plus, I have to have a supply ready for use in case my buddy needs to fill in for me and water the ladies. Been checking the cameras regularly ( I have them all throughout the property, game cameras with IR flash), and to date haven't seen anything that would constitute a threat. Just some curious raccoons and one really ugly opossum. Even the skunks don't bother them this year, which is nice but a little strange considering they dig in them every year. It's really just the animals I'm watching for, people aren't as much of a concern. Mostly because I don't know any. Aside from that, I sleep with my head feet away from my babies, so somebody would have to have big brass ones to even try. Yes, I know, a little overprotective. Fingers crossed it'll be one hell of a harvest (by my standards). 8/11 Update: Been lucky still with the weather, but it's turning really humid. Fed the girls this morning, a mix of 1C molasses and 1/2C epsom salt in 20 gallons. Just a little supplement to the tiger bloom they've been feasting on. Speaking of the Tiger Bloom, I can't help but think I'd do just as well mixing my own nutrient solution, since the cost really adds up quick. For his year, however, it'll be fine. My watering gizmo is working well, just leaks a tiny bit and that's fine for the remainder of the year. Now that I have an idea of what works for me I can spend the off-season setting up something right. Had to thin out the Lamb's a bit, it wasn't getting anywhere near enough air flow. Also took a few on the ChemDog as I'm expecting mold/rot conditions for a while and she's prone. Shouldn't have much problem, wind blows almost constantly here, but you can never be too careful. Training is taking well, overall they look pretty good. Next year-- bigger grow bags, better soil, and much pickier seed choices. I think I may even abandon the idea of topping them in the future-- it just slows them down and you can get the same end results with training. Granted, my ladies are kinda sparse and ugly, but that's the learning curve. Next time around I think I have a pretty good idea of what to do and when to do it, based on what worked and didn't work this year. Another big thing is nutrient timing-- I def jumped the gun on flower power for a few of them and it just stunted them wicked-- shoulda continued veg food a couple weeks into flower even for the early bloomer, she'd be a monster.

Everything going great. Smells like sour candies. Legit can smell the cantaloupe origins and it’s already getting blanketed in trichs. Can’t wait to see these girls get dense in the next few weeks.

Dia 1: Se rellenó la maceta con un poco de GrowMix de Plagron y baje la lámpara a 50cm, se ve muy bien crece rápido aproximadamente 13 cm, pero hay que tomar encuentra que rellene la maceta! Día 2: Creció unos cm más mide 14 cm se ve que crece las manchas aun las tiene no sé que deficiencia tiene o exceso. Presumo que es exceso de calcio. Día 3: hoy pienso alimentarla el agua embotellada tiene un EC=0,370 µs/cm, PH= 7,36. Le coloco un poco de terra grow que es rico en nitrógeno para ver si corrijo la deficiencia que veo, llevo el EC= 0,9 y el PH= 6,5. Día 4: Asímela los alimentos muy bien, tiene aproximadamente 22 cm, aún le noto las hojas manchadas. Esperemos a ver como reacciona con su alimento. Si no tiene mejoras hago lavado de raíces y empiezo a fertilizar nuevamente. Tiene una temperatura entre los 22-24 °c, Humedad de 45%. Día 5: Sé ha pegado un estirón brutal con 25 cm, haciéndole honor a su sepa con sativa predominante esta xxl de Dutch Passion va genial. Aún no mejora las pequeñas machas. Día 6: Creció bastante se estira mucho, aún no sé si es un problema o es por su genética, ya que dicen si una planta se estira demasiado sea por distintos factores la cosecha desmejora. Tiene unos 29 cm. En las puntas de la las hojas nuevas noto una quemadura leve en las puntas no sé si es una quemadura por nutrientes o es por la luz. Decido alejar la luz un poco más para retomar de nuevo sus 50 cm. Día 7: 36 cm esta belleza ya tiene sus primeros pistilos eso me dice que su floración ha empezado. El día martes empiezo con su alimentación de floración o su lavado de raíces para corregir los errores. ¿Aum no lo sé que dicen? Que me pueden recomendar? Pienso en realizar un scrog o dejarla ser libre y ver como crece. Le compraré un Cal-Mag y veremos que no depara esta belleza. Nota: Cualquier Sugerencia de Growers experimentados se los agradecería!!!! ¡Y buena siembra para todos!!!!!!!💪👽

Week 5 I am happy with the progress of this plant. She has 4 tops now so it won’t be long until I get her up to the magic number, 8. Things are chugging along nicely so far. Cooler internals: 6.2pH 0.4 EC 65 F solution temp Onward 😎🍻

👌

2/28: Amnesia has some yellowing of the leaves that appeared around about 12 hours before my usual every-3-day feedings and after I started to defoliating some of the previous yellow leaves from the previous accidental lack of water. I'm not sure if it is progressing, or it's just because I'm dialing in the watering schedule and she's using the nutrients in the extra, fatter, lower leaves. I've increased Amnesia's light distance to 16 inches and am lowering the humidity to stick between 60-70% RH with the automatic fan set to remove excess humidity near the higher end of that range. Fresh air fan blowing around the tent and into the 2 lower vents. Smells like a fresh garden outside of the tent, however smells green when the tent is opened. Not a strong green smell, but mildy recognizable. 3/1: Welp, it's worsened, and has shown itself in both plants now. Since they share the same environment and nutrients, I suspect this to be a nutrient issue. Trainwreck was known for potentially having excess Nitrogen as shown by the extremely bushy growth, dark green leaves, and downward curling leaf-tips. However, Trainwreck is now no longer exhibiting those symptoms, and has lightened up and is stretching. But! Trainwreck is showing signs of potassium deficiency, with brown spots appearing on upper leaves. The same goes for Amnesia, brown spots have migrated their way to upper leaves. I'm thinking a banana tea will be good for them, so I've got a couple large banana peels steeping in the pump sprayer for this evenings watering. My conclusions: 1. Nutrient burn hitting Amnesia hard, but Trainwreck is riding it out from its stored excesses. 2. Both are lacking some potassium now that they're beefing up in flowering stage. Edit: I've decided to add a quarter-strength nutrient to this banana tea so as to not completely flush out the remaining nutrients. I believe that would leave her starved in between her next feeding, in 3-4 days from now. 3/2: Welp! That made it worse! Time to test the PH of my soil. If the PH is too far in one direction or the other, certain nutrients will be locked out. I've ordered a PH meter instead of these PH testing drops. I didn't know that the difference between 6.0 and 6.5 would be so drastic, but with that said, I need to be more precise about my PH levels if I want to maximize these nutrients. Until the PH meter gets delivered tomorrow I may, if my research says that I should, flush with plain water ph'd water to try to flush out salts and try to get the PH back to 6.5 where it needs to be. Edit: I do not believe this to be overfeeding, as I would expect nutrient burn on the tips of all leaves, but there are colas that are completely unaffected by the recent feedings. However, if the PH is off, and I suspect it is, individual deficiencies will pop up and affect the leaves differently. The other plant, trainwreck, which was planted later, may have contained less Ocean Forest nutrients from the top of the bag, and also more Happy Frog; so it's riding out these issues just fine. 3/4: The discoloring on Amnesia has not spread to any other leaves. I've done a little bit of defoliating on the yellow and crispy leaves. Looks like they're already being replaced. I've got my ph meter now, and doing a slurry test came out 6.4 on the top inch of soil, the only soil I could get to without ripping up the roots. Either way, I'm doing to be certain to PH tonight's feeding (half strength) perfectly to 6.5, as opposed to trying my best using PH testing drops, which is almost impossible! Trainwreck is getting some spots on her leaves, so she'll be ready for her feeding tomorrow.

Week 10 ...6 week off flower..looking good smelling good first gro ..the organic way ....

UPDATE : Day 27- these auto flowers have grown in very full .next grow will limit to 4 instead of 6 depending on final outcome but right now it’s looking very tight in there Separate Pics In week 3 are as follows 3|6 2|5<- Location chart 1|4

Runtz Automatic - Zamnesia Day 56 - Watered with 2L of RO tap water with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3 - for reference, I usually water when the moisture content of the soil reaches around 8-10%, then I water until either I see a good amount of runoff, or the moisture content reaches around 30%, then I let it settle to around 25%. This week, she has mainly been focusing on bulking her flower, so other than removing a couple of fan leaves to allow light to reach bud sites, I haven't done much with her; really, other than a small amount of training and defoliation, as well as a little bit of lollipoping on the lower stems, its pretty much all I've had to do with her - she has been really easy to grow!! Looking at her today, I would say shes about 10-15 days away from harvest, max! Notes: - she has entered the last couple week of her lifecycle, so I've moved her into the center of the tent, to give her the best light concentration. - she was showing signs of Calcium deficiency, so I've upped her CalMag from 0.5 to 1 ml/L - her internodal spacing is amazing, I can see each individual bud site grow, which has been really cool. - from a structural perspective, shes the best looking plant I've ever grown! If she smokes well, I will grow this strain again. - I will begin flushing her from the end of this week, to prepare her for harvest.

26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Thanks to each stand for letting us be part of this incredible cannabis experience.

It’s rewarding to share this space with you. See you tomorrow again for more of this Spannabis in Barcelona!

7/26: Last defoliation for about 4 weeks. Looking good and thick. LST is basically over and I'm going to let this plant do what it wants from here on out. I pulled some stems away a tad more so they grow out of any shadows. Bam! 7/27: Added my Google Home Mini so the girls can listen to classical all day long. 7/28: Pistils are tiny on plant 1, but the other 2 are growing rapidly. 7/29: Ordered a 600w ViparSpectra to add to the grow tent, can't wait. Also ordered some sticky traps. The gnats are not really affecting the plant, (never enough to cause major problems) but I just hate them. They seem to be coming from my shop-Vac (for run-off). I let it dry out, as it never stays full of water. I assume they are attracted to it regardless because of the moisture. I have now moved the shop vac further away from the grow tent and will have sticky traps installed 7/30. 7/30: Day 33. Going well. They love Mozart. Pistils FINALLY on every plant. 7/31: Got the new 600w ViparSpectra in, it's bright... this was a good idea. 600w @ 24inches, 450w @ 20inches 8/1: Pistils on all plants. Pre-flower stretch is real. The new light changed everything. Plant 1 taking half a gallon now.

🗓️ Week 8 Flower, week 14 total 🍊 🍪🌲 Mandarin Cookies #2 (back right) is finishing up. MC #1 (back left) & MC #3 (Center) still have probably another solid week to fatten up. All MC’s are on a diet of water only, PH 6.2 🥈🥦 Silver Kush #1 (front left) has a solid week left. SK #2 (front right) is pretty far behind. I’ll probably just cut #2 down and dry it where it’s at, when I cut SK #1. I can’t postpone my next grow just to let the small one get a few more grams. More than likely it’ll all go in the bubble bags. I hope to have them all cut and drying by next week. ✂️ 🌲 💧 🗓️ Feeding schedule for S.K. since MCs are water only: 1 gallon water/nutes per 2 plants every other day PH 6.2 MC’s are on water only Flush. PH 6.2 ⛏️ Soil: (1.5 C.F.) Fox Farm Ocean Forest, mixed with (1.5 C.F.) garden soil, fills (5) 5 galllon fabric pots perfectly. (50/50 mix.) 💡 Again, The new version of Spider Farmer SF-4000 is an awesome light, for anyone wondering. Can’t say enough good things about this light! This is my first LED and it seems to be doing fantastic. (The pictures: I re added the overall and video from last week, day 6. It was the final minutes before the light shut off. So pretty close to day 1, week 8...)

One last week and chop chop. Strawberry n cream really looks like it could go another few weeks but I’m done lol. They all smell amazing!!!

Sie ist noch nicht ganz bereit fürs toppen, aber ich schneid ihr trotzdem die Haare.
