Week 11 | She Does What She Wants ๐๐๐ฅ
Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร8 Adventure! ๐ฑ๐
And this girl...
๐
Honestly...
She's doing whatever the fuck she wants.
And I love it.
๐๐๐ฟ
She's growing tall.
She's growing beautifully.
She's stacking.
She's building those flowers exactly the way she wants to build them.
And we're basically standing here watching her work while occasionally saying:
"Okay, girl... do your thing."
๐
Because that's really what it feels like with this phenotype now.
She's found her rhythm.
She's moving.
She's developing.
She's getting heavier.
And she's doing it without asking for permission.
And honestly?
That's exactly what I want to see.
So let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight again.
Because there are only good things to talk about this week.
๐ธ๐ฅ๐

๐ฑ WEEK 11 โ SHE'S MOVING
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Last week we talked about this girl being the little plant that refused to stay little.
Well...
I think we've officially moved past that conversation.
๐
She's tall.
She's substantial.
She's carrying a beautiful amount of flowering structure.
And she's moving at a really nice pace.
Not the fastest plant in the room.
Not the slowest.
She's right there in the middle of the rhythm we've created.
Some girls are moving a little faster.
Some are taking a little more time.
And Pheno B?
She's somewhere comfortably in the middle.
And honestly...
she looks fantastic.
That's something I really appreciate about this stage of the 8ร8 Adventure.
The plants aren't all moving at exactly the same speed.
But they're all moving.
They're all developing.
They're all expressing themselves.
And this girl is doing it beautifully.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ DOING WHAT THE FUCK SHE WANTS
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
I'm going to keep the language this week because honestly...
there's no better description.
๐
She's doing what the fuck she wants.
The branches are growing where they want.
The flowers are developing where they want.
The structure is becoming what she wants it to become.
And we're not trying to force her into some perfect shape.
We're assisting.
That's it.
The plant is doing the work.
We're providing the environment.
We're providing the support when she needs it.
We're keeping the system running.
We're observing.
And when she tells us:
"Okay, I need a little help here..."
we help.
But we're not trying to tell her how to be Amnesia Haze Pheno B.
She already knows.
๐๐ฟ
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ธ THE FLOWERS ARE THE STORY
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
And honestly...
this is what I love most about her right now.
The flower structure.
๐๐ธ
Look at the way those flowers are developing throughout the plant.
They're not just sitting there as individual little flowering points anymore.
They're becoming structures.
They're stacking.
They're gaining volume.
They're creating those beautiful vertical lines of development that make this girl so enjoyable to look at.
And the more she develops...
the more obvious her architecture becomes.
You can see the plant's rhythm in the flowers.
You can see where she's decided to build.
You can see how the branches are carrying those developing structures.
And I really like what she's doing.
Very much.
She's creating her own design.
We're simply lucky enough to document it.
๐ธ๐ธ๐
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฅ THE STACKING IS BEAUTIFUL
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
This is probably my favourite part of her this week.
The stacking.
๐ฅ๐ธ๐ฅ
There is something incredibly satisfying about watching flowers begin to build on top of one another along the branches.
Week by week...
you start seeing more structure.
More definition.
More density.
More presence.
And with Pheno B, I really like the way the flowers are developing along her architecture.
She's not trying to make one giant statement.
She's building a whole series of beautiful flowering structures throughout the plant.
And that gives her a really interesting appearance.
You can follow a branch with your eyes...
and discover flower after flower after flower.
It's beautiful.
It's becoming substantial.
And she's still got plenty of story left to write.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฟ TALL, BEAUTIFUL & COMPLETELY HERSELF
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
One of the things I really enjoy about this girl is that she doesn't feel like she's trying to imitate anybody else.
She's tall.
She's around 135 cm.
She's got her own architecture.
She's got her own branching pattern.
She's got her own way of stacking.
And she's completely comfortable being herself.
That's what I want to see.
Because if every plant in this room looked identical...
we'd lose half the fun.
๐
Instead...
we have different heights.
Different structures.
Different flower shapes.
Different rates of development.
Different personalities.
And Amnesia Haze Pheno B has definitely established hers.
She's the girl who looked at an 11-litre pot and apparently decided:
"Yeah, that's plenty."
๐๐ฑ
Then proceeded to grow into a beautiful, tall flowering plant anyway.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
? THE LITTLE POT THAT NEVER GOT THE MEMO
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
And yes...
the 11-litre pot is still there.
๐
I still look at it sometimes and think:
"How are you doing all of this in there?"
Because the plant doesn't look like she's trying to fit into a small container.
She looks like she simply decided the container was irrelevant.
๐๐ฟ
She's built herself above it.
She's filled the space.
She's created substantial flowering structure.
And she's continuing to move.
The pot may have been one of the experiments...
but the plant is clearly writing the results.
And her result so far is:
"I'll be fine."
๐๐
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ก SAME ROOM. SAME PHOTONS. HER OWN STORY.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
And once again, this is where the 8ร8 Adventure becomes so interesting.
We're treating the room as one ecosystem.
The same general environment.
The same lighting philosophy.
The same irrigation system.
The same nutritional foundation.
The same 12/12 schedule.
And yet...
every plant interprets it differently.
Pheno B is receiving the same photons as her neighbours.
But she's building her own architecture with them.
She's taking that light...
and turning it into leaves.
Branches.
Flowers.
Structure.
And eventually...
hopefully...
a beautiful finished plant.
That's the experiment.
Same stage.
Different performers.
๐๐ฟ๐ก
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
โ๏ธ THE NEW LIGHTING SETUP
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
The upgraded lighting setup remains one of the big changes in the room.
We now have two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures helping expand the lighting capability.
Rather than running everything at maximum output, we're controlling the intensity.
Approximately:
๐ก ~59% power from the plug
giving us around:
โ๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy
with the actual intensity naturally varying according to plant height and position.
And this girl is clearly making use of that environment.
She's developing.
She's stacking.
She's filling her structure.
She's catching photons...
and apparently turning them into more flowers.
๐๐ก๐ธ
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฟ THE PLANT DOES THE WORK
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
I think this is something I've really learned through this project.
Sometimes we growers get too focused on what we're doing.
We changed this.
We adjusted that.
We moved this.
We added that.
We trained here.
We trimmed there.
But eventually...
there comes a point where the plant takes over.
And that's where I feel we are with Pheno B.
The major structural work has already been done.
The framework is there.
The branches are there.
The flowers are there.
Now she's building.
And our job is mostly to keep the system around her stable.
Good environment.
Consistent irrigation.
Appropriate nutrition.
Light.
Air movement.
Observation.
And support when necessary.
The plant does the rest.
๐ฑ๐
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐จ LET HER GROW
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
That's why I don't feel the need to constantly intervene with this girl.
She's doing beautifully.
She's not asking us to reinvent the room.
She's not asking us to change everything.
She's simply growing.
And honestly?
Sometimes the best thing you can do is get out of the way.
๐
Let her grow.
Let her stack.
Let her build.
Let her decide where those flowers are going.
We're here to assist.
Not to micromanage every millimetre of the plant.
And Pheno B seems perfectly happy with that arrangement.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
โ๏ธ AND THE FROST IS STILL COMING
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Of course...
we can't forget the frost.
๐โ๏ธ
She's continuing to develop beautiful resin coverage throughout the flowering structures.
And as those flowers build, the frost becomes increasingly noticeable.
This is another characteristic I really enjoy watching on her.
The structure is beautiful.
The stacking is beautiful.
But then you get closer...
and suddenly the flowers have another layer of detail.
Tiny crystalline structures.
Resin-covered surfaces.
Frost catching the light.
And that's when the camera starts becoming dangerous again.
๐๐ธ
Because one photograph becomes ten.
Ten becomes thirty.
And suddenly you're standing there photographing one flower from every possible angle.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ธ THE CAMERA IS FOLLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
And that's exactly why I love having these weekly reports.
Because if you only looked at her today, you'd say:
"Beautiful plant."
But when you compare her with the earlier weeks...
you see the journey.
The structure is more developed.
The flowers are larger.
The stacking is clearer.
The plant has more presence.
The whole thing feels more substantial.
Photography gives us the snapshots.
The diary connects those snapshots.
And together...
we get the story.
That's what makes this project so enjoyable.
We're not simply looking at the finished plant.
We're watching her become it.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
โ๏ธ NUTRITION โ SAME ROOM, SAME UPDATE
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
As with the rest of the room, we've increased the nutrition this week.
๐ฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ 2.3 ml/L
๐ฑ Power Buds โ 1 ml/L
๐ฑ Green Sensation โ 1 ml/L
๐ฑ Sugar Royal โ 1 ml/L
โ๏ธ pH adjustment as required
Current solution values are around:
โ๏ธ pH โ ~6.02
โก EC โ ~2.14 mS/cm
And again...
we're not creating a completely separate world for her.
She's part of the same room.
Same overall feeding strategy.
Same environmental foundation.
And she's responding beautifully.
No complaints.
No drama.
Just growth.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ก๏ธ WEEK 11 ROOM CONDITIONS
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
The room continues around:
๐ก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC
๐ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC
๐ง RH: ~61%
โ๏ธ pH: ~6.02
โก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm
๐ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC
๐ฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC
๐จ COโ: ~693 ppm
๐ก Light schedule: 12/12
? Pot size: 11 L
๐ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h
Same room.
Same conditions.
Different plant.
And that's exactly what we're watching.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ธ A BEAUTIFUL RHYTHM
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
I think the best word for her this week is:
Rhythm.
She's moving at a very comfortable pace.
Some girls are moving faster.
Some are moving slower.
And Pheno B?
She's right there.
Doing her thing.
Growing.
Stacking.
Developing.
Getting heavier.
Getting frostier.
And doing it without making the room complicated.
She's simply following her own rhythm.
And I really like the rhythm she's chosen.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ SHE DOESN'T NEED TO BE THE FASTEST
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
This is another thing I appreciate about this project.
We don't need every plant to be the fastest.
We don't need every plant to be the tallest.
We don't need every plant to produce the biggest flowers.
We need them to show us who they are.
And Pheno B has done exactly that.
She's not necessarily trying to win the race.
She's simply running her own race.
And right now...
she's running it beautifully.
๐๐ฟ๐
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฌ ANOTHER PHENOTYPE REVEAL
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Every week, I feel like we're getting a little more information about who she really is.
At first:
"Small pot."
Then:
"Wait... she's getting tall."
Then:
"Okay... she's really flowering."
Then:
"Look at that stacking."
And now:
"Wow... this is a beautiful plant."
๐๐
That's the journey.
The phenotype gradually reveals itself.
And I think Pheno B is becoming increasingly easy to recognize.
Beautiful structure.
Beautiful flowers.
Strong vertical development.
A really nice stacking pattern.
And an overall appearance that makes you want to stop and look.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฎ WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW?
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
At this point...
I'm simply watching.
๐
I'm watching those flowers build.
I'm watching the stacking.
I'm watching the resin.
I'm watching the plant handle its increasing weight.
I'm watching the branches.
And I'm watching what she decides to do next.
Because honestly...
she's already shown us that she's perfectly capable of surprising us.
So I'm not going to try to predict every step.
Let's just see what she does.
She's been making good decisions so far.
๐๐๐ฟ
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ LET HER DO HER THING
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Week 11.
Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B.
And honestly...
I love this girl.
๐๐ฟ๐
She's tall.
She's beautiful.
She's moving.
She's stacking.
She's building.
She's getting heavier.
She's getting frostier.
And she's doing all of it at her own rhythm.
She's not the fastest girl in the room.
She's not the slowest.
She's right there in the middle...
and she's doing beautifully.
And perhaps the thing I like most is that we're not really telling her what to do anymore.
We're assisting.
We're supporting.
We're keeping the environment stable.
We're providing the photons.
We're providing the nutrition.
And then...
she does the rest.
She's growing where she wants.
She's stacking where she wants.
She's building flowers the way she wants.
She's doing what the fuck she wants.
๐๐ฟ๐ฅ
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Because that's the beauty of growing.
You can create the environment.
You can provide the tools.
You can observe.
You can support.
But ultimately...
the plant is going to be the plant.
And Pheno B?
She's being a beautiful one.
๐๐๐ธ๐ฅ
So let's give her the spotlight.
Let's let her shine.
Let's keep those photons flying.
Let's keep watching those flowers stack.
And let's see what this beautiful girl decides to do next.
Because if the last few weeks have taught us anything...
it's that she's going to do exactly what she wants.
