Hey! As I expected, all the plants bloomed last week (one is a little behind). In order for everyone to be at the same height, one of the plants had to be broken using the HST method, which seemed to have no consequences for growth. Two out of three plants showed a purple phenotype, I just love such changes, continue to monitor😎 Thank you for stopping by, and be healthy! 🙏 To be continued... 😶

Everyone is in flush mode..... Just waiting for the fan leaves to turn yellow then its time for the ladies to hang to dry. Really can't wait to have a try of this, especially the Gelato Dream, smells absolutely beautiful, plus 33% THC! Any questions guys just ask but most of the info is on the video which I have uploaded! Happy Growing guys 👍🏾🔥

I had to change the light this week. To smaller lights because of some fan leaves was turn at the tips away from the lights

2/24 MONDAY. 1am Starting to take off now, BPP is catching up all the others are great. Wont be cranking up the light its getting warm and I like to keep my grows low power and cool. 3pm Put Witches Wedding in Tent4 with Ricky’s Hash Plants Lights up to 65W. 2/26 LST on BPP👍👍👍 2/28 4am. good. 2-4pm topped Mix Pack started bottom feeding and get good results 1 glass on top then slowly add to bott 12-2pm repotted Fast Buds Mix Pack she is TALL so I felt she needed a more comfortable home, it was a difficult keeping her watered as well. I will top her tomorrow probably. Apricot is having trouble with the re-used dirt I put in. So I did a flush and saw it was overloaded with nutrients, too dark. She should catch up in 3 or 4 days no problems. They surprise me with how they recover and reconfigured their branch and root system and start to get HUGE like nothing happened so I know Apricot will recover. 3/1 2am made some more air filters. 6am 3/2 12am They look great 6 AM. I watered again from the bottom and a little bit at the top. They are phenomenal. I think my new watering technique helps. I’ve only been watering from the top and I think that’s been a problem. I do a 50-50 split of bud igniter with big bud by advanced nutrients next week. It will be 2 mL of big bud or maybe one. We’ll see how the flowers progress. 👍 3/4 4am Flushed Apricot with a gallon of water 6.4pH followed by normal nutrient until enough runoff, then bottom fed after returning to tent she took up water and is looking better today.

Last 2 weeks only plain water on blue medi kush. Flushing other girls for a week now and this should be their final week of life but dinafems grape and og kush are still shooting white hairs or they are just turning them to orange very slow. I got the runoff ppm on all girls down to 200(my tap water), want the smoke to be as clean as possible.

Today is Day 62 and this strain finishes in 75 days, so it says on the back of the pack. Anyone recommend When should I start to flush? Only the bottom of the canopy is yellow at the mo! Cheers

Had the seed capsule stick to the seedling, making it bend but it fixed itself and had no issues afterwards.

Things are going good, I am beginning to think about when to harvest. I have tried capturing some microscope shots of the trichomes with a 15x macro lens (BlitzWolf), but they turned out awful. They still look transparent and glasslike, and I did not see many, if any, amber trichomes. I am going on vacation next week, and wonder if plant will be fine with not being harvested before the 8th of July, two weeks from now. Day 3: Watered Day 4: Macro shots. Trichomes look transparent and glasslike, but since this is my first grow, any input from experienced growers is very welcome :-) Day 7: Watered. No amber trichomes in sight, I will wait one more week before the harvest.

Amnesia Skunk — Week 4 Report 1. Week 4 Context (12/12 Cycle) • Same room conditions as the rest of the garden. • Same environmental parameters. • Same nutrition, same measurements, no changes introduced. • Stability across the room remains the guiding principle. This consistency allows true genetic expression to be observed. ⸻ 2. Growth Pattern & Structure Amnesia Skunk is expressing very differently from other cultivars in the room: • Node count: ~6–7 nodes • Internodal spacing: Extremely compact • Overall stature: Short, tight, and powerful • Architecture: • Dense vertical core • Controlled lateral branching • Strong apical presence without excessive stretch This is a stocky, high-density phenotype, showing clear indications of structural strength. ⸻ 3. Main Stem & Vascular Development One of the most striking features this week is the main stem: • Notoriously thick compared to other plants at the same stage • Strong lignification already visible • Suggests: • Excellent nutrient transport capacity • High future flower-support potential • A plant built to carry weight As you beautifully put it — this is the kind of stem that looks like it will harvest as timber. ⸻ 4. Branching Behavior & Phenotypic Consistency • Both phenotypes are: • Very similar in overall structure • Expressing healthy, proportional branching • Producing smaller but well-defined side branches This indicates genetic stability, not randomness. Branching is present without chaos — everything feels intentional in how the plant is stacking itself. ⸻ 5. Training & Plant Handling (Week 4) • No aggressive training introduced • No topping, no hard interventions • Only: • Gentle leaf bending • Minimal leaf redirection • Very careful handling to improve light exposure Philosophy for this cultivar: Let her grow as she wishes, without stress, and observe her natural form. This approach respects her compact nature and avoids disrupting her internal balance. ⸻ 6. Plant Health & Visual Quality • Color: Deep, healthy green • Leaf posture: Relaxed, confident, no stress indicators • Growth rate: Steady and strong rather than fast and stretchy • Overall vitality: Excellent Amnesia Skunk is not racing — she’s building. ⸻ 7. Studio Observations & Documentation Value • Plants were taken to the studio for photography. • Under controlled lighting: • Structure becomes even more apparent • Stem thickness and node density stand out • Branch symmetry and internodal compression are clearly visible Photos captured: • Against the light • On dark backgrounds • Close-ups of stems and branching • Full-plant context shots This makes Week 4 documentation especially valuable for educational reference. ⸻ 8. Pre-Flower Status • No clear pre-flower signs yet. • Development remains firmly in the transitional vegetative phase under 12/12. • This slower, compact progression aligns perfectly with her morphology. Nothing is rushed — and nothing needs to be. ⸻ 9. Outlook Moving Forward • Expect: • Powerful flower support later in bloom • Dense, structured stacking rather than long spears • A cultivar that rewards patience Training will remain soft and respectful, with future adjustments based on how she chooses to open up.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

These were quite an experience to grow. My second grow ever and they are great. I loved the way they flowered and how they responded to topping. They absolutely loved it. I would 10/10 grow again. Strong genetics and a very strong high.

9/14 Week 9 and she is doing fine Little vid she is front left Nuets not changing for now 9/16 Doing well but some white tips are saying we gotta reduce the salts so will be dropping CT nuets 10% and upping PK to 2.5 Extra space is really doing them well Defoliation again tonight the war on stemmed leaves has begun 9/17 Held a meeting of the minds and decided the best course of action is to flip the light schedule so I can feed them more appropriately, twice a day. Leaving nuets as they are as this will drop pot EC. Setting the alarm for the AM before lights out at 7:30 and changing the sched to 6AM-6PM summer is done no need for current schedule. Lights be out from 7:30AM to 6AM long I know but should not bother them. 9/19 Lights on girls feed buds look fine Video enjoy
