Day 15 - The new week meant a change of water, nutrients and an adjustment of lights. Chong is looking like a short, but sturdy little seedling with broad fan leaves and big roots. Max is 10cm vs. Chong at 7cm and her leaves are perky and the stem is thick. They both look good for their own individual reasons. Looking at the roots specifically, Chong seems to be facing similar problems as Cheech in the Cookies Gelato grow - the aeration in the bucket appears to have “dead zones” because of the colour the roots and the manner in which they are sticking together. I’ve adjusted the air stone to be more central in the bucket and cleaned the air tubes because the nutrients stick on the tubes. Other than that, I’ve controlled the PH back down to 6.0 after the addition of the nutrients using the Milwaukee PH controller and decided not to adjust the height of the lights because there was only about 2cm growth this week. Also added the first wire to give Chong a bit of a better bend in her stem, gently starting off the process of LST. Day 20 and the ladies are getting closer to topping. Both are showing clear third nodes with the fourth node opening up. I am sure we will be topping during this next week of veg.

For LIQUIDS ******GREEN BUZZ LIQUIDS***** organic. Also i’m using their LIVING SOIL CULTURE in powder form! MARSHYDRO ⛺️ has large openings on the sides which is useful for mid section groom room work. 🤩 ☀️ MARSHYDRO FC 3000 LED 300W 💨MARSHYDRO 6” in-line EXTRACTOR with speed-variation knob, comes complete with ducting and carbon filter.

Week 3 of flower has come & gone without too much stress. Gave the ladies a big last defoliation to help with light penetration and airflow at end of week as they were pretty leafy Runoff was a lot lower than feed so have upped the nutes for this week. Blumats got blocked and have been a pain so whilst I'm not too busy with work over holidays will just hand water them. Pretty much no smell at all coming off them yet which is quite strange as normally by now all my other grows have been starting to, I'm sure it will come. 1st video is before big defoliation 2nd video is after Photo is 24hrs after big defoliation

Outside of issues that were due to my learning curb definitely happy with the results. The plant that is actually dolato has such a wonderful scent. If it was certain that I would 5 of 5 dolato plants instead of 2 out of 5 with a Gelato I would do it again

Day 1 beginning of wk 3 flower fed the girls up this morning 4.5 ltr phostrogen to all but bubblegum #1 she gets fed 10ltrs of bud burst they are starting to smell so good 3 strains iv never grown before or even smoked lol exciting stuff 5-6 more weeks to go

Stacking wonderfully. Starting to fade a bit. Candy Bubatz supposed to take 9-10 weeks but not there yet. Very sticky. Harvest coming soon. My 1st grow is coming to an end. Hopefully I make it

This week was hot went up to 30 celsius degrees in the room. Now it is okay cooling down I have got good USB driven ventilation system goes 16 hours non stop with one charge CBD Blue Shark is developing well looking very well. Lovely.... Fertilization has started ; So Vitalink bat gunao 10ml per liter and biogrow 1ml/l that's all for now. Day 13, 15th of August 2020: Epsom salt just arrived and applied.

Finally the Sour Strawberry started catching up! It seemed to have some sort of mutation where it topped itself and also rotated while growing. In the timelapse you can see the entire plant rotates about 90° over the course of the week. Sadly the other 3 plants kept throwing new issues at me and were at very different heights, all while the Sour Strawberry was tiny. Bending them had little effect and I did not actually want to super crop them just yet. I had to put in a net.

Man I can not wait til she finishes drying and curing she smells amazing I will be trying to reveg her so I can hopefully try my hand at her again this time in a huge pot she definitely deserves it

Tous ce passe bien

Starting to pack on weighand trichomes! Excited to see how it goes!

The calmag deficiency has improved significantly and the plants are now putting all their energy into the flowers. In the meantime, no new eggs are forming, which makes us very happy :)

38 dias de vida y el olor de las plantas es brutal , se han estirado bastante hasta pasar los 60 cm se puede notar el Bionabis y Deltanabis de Terranabis, estan creciendo espectacular una pasada, vamos a ver a donde llegamos con tan poco tiempo y en cuanto a las variedades estoy muy impaciente para ver como se desarrollan ya que no sabemos mucho sobre su genetica , mas que lo comentado en el anterior semana.

D35: strain is very fast not sure how soon harvest will be but it'll be around day 50 I'm assuming. Nice colours from the recent cool nights. Buds are nice and look very easy to trim. Comparable so far to a few of the other ones I've grown like the Big Kush.

Day 68-16/02/22 I’ve harvested 6 of the 25 so far they are drying some more to come down over the next days all buds looking juicy and crystals everywhere!!!

d.85 really fading hard, and buds are growing in size. just letting her do her thing, we are taking this to the end. also got my humidity down. d.87 buds are fattening up 😍 all i have to say about that is, bigger boots, bigger roots = bigger fruits. mainlining is possible with auto, as long as you choose a big enough pot size and time the topping and lst. after that part is done, then the auto just needs time to do its thing.

Starting out the fourth week of flower well. All plants are forming resin on their sugar leaves and starting to smell fruity. Upped nutrient dosage to 1400 ppm truncheon. Still watering 2l daily. Might need another round of defoliation before the end of flower, they recovered very well from the last time.. Almost too well..

🌱 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.

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.
