Week 3 has arrived and training has started. Still feeding off the slow release amendments and watered when the pot is light. Fimmed 3 mains, but one naturally had 2 tops already. Top count will remain at 8 as I only have 3 more weeks of vegging before she has to be flipped. She got her weekly dose of Recharge at 1tbsp per gallon. Light was raised to 26 inches due to signs of stress in the leaves.

This week was a busy one in the gardens! After a 7 day dry my harvest from last week was ready to come down! It did dry out a little quicker than I'd like, but still went in the jar around 57% and still smells really terpy and not like hay. I kept the humidity around 50-60% in the dry room however I didn't supplement humidity with a humidifier, i do have an ACI humidifier, but I didn't wanna run it in the summer and accidentally mold the crop! I just ran my dehumidifier at that setting so maybe it got a little dry in there! I trimmed all 5 plants in one day to prevent over drying in about 13 hours. I used a trim bin, trim brush by canna brush and a normal pair of springed shears. I'm curing in Mason jars now. I was able to move the plants in the tiny Mars Hydro Clone tent to my flowering tent. My Vivosun 4x8x6, under my HLG Blackbird at setting 1 to get adjusted. This week I'll get my par meter back from my grow bro and get a good reading. Im going to be transplanting these plants to their final containers as soon as I hit the local grow shop and grab a little more soil! After that I'll adjust the par for full veg and let them really rage! It feels good to finally get some space for them. My larger tent is way better equipped ventilation wise as well, I have 4 clip fans and my 8 inch exhaust fan in there. I currently have the tent sitting at 74-71°F and 56% Humidity. Ethos: Lilac Diesel #22 (x) Grandpa's Cookies #7- This Seedling has a decent internode spacing between it's branches and is keeping them mostly even with very little low stress training. I have been bending the top most branches to help the plant get a little bushier! It's leaves are very dark and doing a little clawing so I'm holding off on the Trinity by Roots Organic! It doesn't appear to bad! It's main stalk is very thick and reminds me of Raspberry Ripple #1! When it's in veg! I'm excited to see if this plant is one I'll keep around or not! I'm definitely hoping it's stretch in flower is containable in my shorter space! Raspberry Ripple Clones (#1 and #2)- The Number One Phenos are looking beefy already, one plant is starting to yellow just a little bit and looks like it could use a transplant here soon! Other than that these ladies are raging as usual. The higher ppfd has kept them really bushy and symmetrical. The Number 2s are still looking really healthy but are the smallest plants in the garden as usual! Finished Flowers (Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2)- This harvest definitely hits a lot harder than my last one! Having the microscope to really get a good look at my trichomes and pushing the plants and extra two weeks really made a big difference! Ripple #1- These buds are big and purple! Decently frosted! The leathery, black licorice smell Ripple #1 gives off, is really strong this round! The harvest weighed 7oz 25 grams, 6 oz and 16 grams of "A" Nugs, and 1 oz 9 grams of popcorn buds! Ripple #2- The Ripple #2 is a little less dense than the #1 but it is pretty frosty and smells like a mixture of yogurt and hazy weed. This harvest weighed 5 oz 20 g, 4 oz and 6 grams of decent sized nugs and 1 oz 13 grams of popcorn nugs. Giving me a total harvest of 13 oz and 17 grams, 10 oz and 20 grams of "A" nugs and 2 oz and 23 grams of popcorn nugs. In a 4 x 4. That pretty much sums up the harvest and this week!

Week 18 Day 120 (11/12/2020): I checked the girl’s trichomes and they are looking great. They are definitely getting more amber but still a small percentage. Also most of the pistils have browned now so I think she is about 2 weeks away from harvest now. So I will start the flush at the next watering! Day 121 (12/12/2020): The girl is looking good today but the leaves are going more an more yellow and crispy. Although I think during this time it is actually good news and I will be happy for her to take up all the nutrients left into the buds to make them extra tasty!🤤 Day 122 (13/12/2020)💧: Sooo this week is the start of the flush, just 1.5L of water. They are definitely ready for the flush and the buds are looking gorgeous! So gorgeous, in fact, that we cannot wait for the girls to be ready. So I cut some stems off to dry 🙊 We basically realised that they will not be ready and dry by Christmas (plus we would want to still cure them for min 2 weeks) and so I cut some of the smaller stems off to get some buds ready for Christmas celebrations 🎄 I only cut 1 stem off the girl and in the photo you can see how much smaller it is than the main buds. I’ve put the flowers into a box with holes in a room that has good airflow. I’ll also make sure to weigh and add it to the final dry weight. Day 123 (14/12/2020): Didn’t have time today to take pics of the girls but I’m sure they are fine 😉 Day 124 (15/12/2020): I swear the buds look fatter and fatter every single day that I check her. Looking great, smelling great, and will definitely taste great! Day 125 (16/12/2020)💧: Second flush of the week, great stuff. Just gave her 1.5L of water and ripped off some dry leaves. There are some stems at the bottom that are quite weak and cannot hold their weight. A lot of them have bent over and I don’t think they will get enough water to survive until harvest. At this point it is too late to cut them off but I have definitely learned to lollipop for the future! Day 126 (17/12/2020): What a great end to the week and just 1 more week to go! Buds are looking astonishing at this point. And I swear they are getting more and more red even though I thought they wouldn’t. The trichomes are developing beautifully as well, definitely harvest-ready in just a few days! And next week, I will be watering twice and probably harvest after the whole week is finished, so on Christmas day! What a great present 🎁

Let´s start Day 43 😎 some sun and cloudy with rain again 😳 Day44 cloudy and rain and cold 😡 Day45 rain and cloudy 😡 temp 16C/60F .. WTF it´s summer 😡😖😱 Day46 no rain litle bit sun and cloudy 22C/71F still not a real summer 😩

25/04/2023 Day 69 I cut the "twins" and finally discovered the inside of the DWC MyPot. I took lots of pics so you can see the unexpected plant of the seed that I lost in the clay and then germinated anyway and found an awkward path to the surface through a tiny hole! Unbelievable! I also found that the watering tube from the pump had moved during manipulation, don't know for how long it has been pressed between the upper and lower parts on the DWC. Pretty sure for that final plants had received less or no feeding solution, and the use of Clean might not have been efficient. I guess it's also the reason why I found the white (?) on the top of the clay, salts and something else, because of lack of watering. Will come back in 3 weeks, will be dry and then I'll can trim and weight. And smoke, yeah! Not expecting much and could be hard to smoke if the cleaning was not efficient. Anyway, the next one will be better!

Just been feeding, defoliated slightly. I've started feeding plagron sugar royal.

Woche zwei der Nachzügler hat sich gut entwickelt und die Hauptpflanze ist fast schon ready für den nächsten Top, ich werde mal Erde ansetzten und alles vorbereiten.

Flowering start this week I have switch the light in 12/12 on/off Adding 150g of biobloom for my 50L pots. I place itb under the mulch mix a bit with the ground and water :)

Day 64: I've been on vacation for four days now. However, I was able to keep an eye on everything remotely using the spiderfarmer app. They look great. The Pink Cookies and the Purple Kush have grown quite a bit taller. The buds have generally grown larger and the first frost is visible. I watered all the plants with 2 liters of water mixed with fertilizer and Cal Mag. More shoots have also woven into the web. Day 65: Not much has changed since yesterday. The plants look healthy and happy. I lowered the light by 10 cm. I hung the fan over the lamp and set it to a faster speed. The flowers look beautiful. Since the Pink Gelato is growing taller now, I had to adjust the humidifier a bit. What varieties are you currently growing? Day 66: The girls are doing well! Today I defoliated the plants again. I decided to remove some of the leaves so that the top buds would grow nicely and I'd have as few popcorn buds as possible. I hope it wasn't too much. I also watered all three plants with 2 liters of water mixed with Hesi-Bio-Bloom and Cal Mag. Unfortunately, it's still quite warm in the tent. Do you have any ideas how I can get the temperature down? Day 67: Everything's still going well. They've taken the defoliation well so far and look healthy. Day 68: Today I gave them another 2 liters of water with fertilizer and cal mag. They look beautiful and have another 5-6 weeks to develop the flowers! Day 69: Today, all three girls received 2 liters of water with fertilizer and Cal Mag. I also raised the Purple Kush and created a raised area underneath it. I also increased the humidity to counteract the heat. Day 70: Today, all three girls were given 2 liters of water with fertilizer and CalMag. Otherwise, not much has happened. The buds are getting bigger and bigger. Unfortunately, it's still too hot in the tent—I hope it cools down soon!

Bloody Skunk has really started stacking the last week. She is very thirsty, drinking over a gallon every 2 days. The 375W COBs and 250W MARS Epistar LEDs have her budding at a feverish rate now. This is when I get excited about my grows...starting to see what you'll end up with. I kicked up the Bud Candy and started adding RAW bloom microbes to my medium. There is some slight yellowing at the very bottom fan leaves, nothing critical. The main stalk and branches are very strong and stiff, this plant could withstand a hurricane :) There will be around 15 colas on her. Should be an outstanding harvest if this keeps up. Watered yesterday with a bigger blast of nutrients and additives...trying to push the limits on her. Bud sites are filling in nicely but no frost is really there as of yet...uploaded video.

Wow I'm impressed with her flowers this week!!!!! They have swollen so much!!!!!!!!!! On she goes!

💚 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 5 | The Elegant Stretch Before the Storm Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Every week these ladies remind me why phenotype hunting is such an exciting journey. Today’s spotlight belongs to Amnesia Haze Auto – Pheno A, a plant that’s beginning to reveal the classic characteristics many growers hope to see from an Amnesia Haze. Tall… Graceful… Open… And now officially beginning her flowering journey. While many of her neighbours are building dense canopies, this lady has chosen elegance, creating a beautifully structured framework that should allow every future flower to enjoy plenty of light and airflow. ⸻ 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using my favourite experiment: 12/12 From Seed. From the day these seeds germinated, they have lived under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off lighting schedule. The goal isn’t simply producing smaller plants. It’s about discovering how different genetics and different phenotypes naturally express themselves under identical conditions. Every plant shares: • The same grow room • The same environmental conditions • The same lighting • The same nutrition • The same training philosophy • The same care Only the genetics decide how each individual develops. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A is already showing a wonderfully classic sativa-style expression. ⸻ 🌿 Stretching With Purpose At approximately 75 cm, she’s among the taller ladies in the room and continues displaying excellent vertical growth. Rather than producing a dense bush, she’s built long internodal spacing with beautifully stacked branches reaching confidently toward the light. Those longer distances between nodes might look sparse now, but for flowering they’re actually a huge advantage. Each future bud site has room to breathe. Each branch receives excellent light penetration. Each cola has space to develop without excessive crowding. Sometimes less density early on creates better flowers later. ⸻ 🌸 Flowering Has Officially Begun This week marks an exciting transition. Fresh white pistils are now appearing across every growing tip, confirming that flowering has officially begun. Although she’s entering bloom, she’s still carrying plenty of vegetative momentum. This is completely normal. During this transition period the plant continues stretching while simultaneously beginning flower production. Because of that, her feeding program still reflects both stages of growth. She’s no longer purely vegetative. But she’s not yet fully flowering either. She’s standing right in the middle of one of the most important phases of her life cycle. ⸻ 🍃 Gentle Leaf Tucking Instead of Heavy Defoliation Training this week remained very gentle. Rather than removing healthy leaves, large fan leaves were carefully tucked beneath developing branches to expose additional flowering sites. Leaf tucking is one of my favourite techniques during this stage because it increases light penetration while allowing the plant to keep all of her valuable solar panels. Healthy leaves continue producing energy. Hidden branches receive more light. The canopy stays open. It’s a simple technique, but one that often delivers excellent results. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Through the Transition Since the room currently contains plants at slightly different stages of development, the feeding program reflects that transition. Instead of switching immediately to a full flowering recipe, the plants are currently receiving a carefully balanced combination of vegetative and flowering nutrients. Current nutrition includes: • Plagron Terra Grow • Plagron Terra Bloom • Power Buds • Sugar Royal • Power Roots • Pure Zym • pH adjustment using pH Plus and Lemon Kick This balanced approach allows the plants to continue supporting vigorous green growth while simultaneously providing the phosphorus, potassium, enzymes and biological support needed as flowers begin to develop. It’s all about easing them smoothly into bloom rather than making an abrupt change. ⸻ 🌡️ A Stable Environment One advantage of documenting every phenotype separately is that each plant shares the exact same controlled environment. Current room conditions include: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 72% • Solution temperature: 21.6°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 636 ppm Keeping these parameters consistent allows each phenotype to express its true genetic potential without environmental fluctuations becoming part of the equation. ⸻ 📸 This Week’s Gallery The photographs this week beautifully capture the beginning of her transformation. The full-plant portraits highlight her elegant sativa structure, with long branches and an impressive central leader dominating the canopy. The close-up images reveal clusters of fresh white pistils emerging from nearly every node, confirming that flowering has truly begun. One of my favourite details is the clean spacing between branches. Rather than competing for light, every future cola has its own place to develop. The healthy green foliage, strong stems and open architecture suggest this lady is preparing for an exciting flowering stretch over the coming weeks. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the next two weeks I expect this Amnesia Haze to continue stretching before gradually shifting her energy toward building flowers. If she follows the classic Amnesia Haze profile, those long internodes should soon begin filling with elegant, elongated buds covered in bright white pistils. The framework is already there. Now it’s time for the flowers to write the next chapter. I can’t wait to watch her evolve. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Watching every phenotype develop its own personality while sharing the exact same environment continues to be one of the most rewarding parts of this project. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, inspire one another, and document every stage of their journeys. Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting these plants from seed to harvest. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent light powering every day of this grow. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment where each phenotype can express its full genetic potential. And finally, Growers Love and thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, sharing knowledge and joining me on this adventure. Every plant has its own story, and Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A is only just beginning to tell hers. The stretch is underway, the first flowers are forming, and the best is still to come. 💚🌿

💜PINK RUNTZ 💜

Got better at week 8 end. Finally lots of trichomes, buds are gettin denser last couple days. Made a couple of pure water waterings between nutrition. Defoliated hard and seems like this is last time before harvest. Please share any thoughts/tips on better growing this baby👇 Peace🙏

📆 Semana 11 Última semana, cierre del ciclo. Cogollos completamente formados, duros y con el peso ya definido, sin apenas cambios estructurales, solo afinando el acabado final. La resina está en su máximo, con tricomas mayoritariamente lechosos y una buena proporción de ámbar, marcando el punto óptimo de corte. Textura muy pegajosa y brillo intenso en toda la flor. Los tonos naranjas dominan, acompañados de matices finales que reflejan la maduración completa. El aroma alcanza su pico, profundo, denso y bien marcado. La planta prácticamente ha detenido su actividad, tirando de reservas y mostrando el desgaste natural en hojas grandes. Cultivo cerrado, limpio y en su punto. Lista para el corte. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!
