week 8 flower solo cup challenge

💚 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 6 | Elegance in Motion Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the greatest joys of running a phenotype hunt is watching each plant slowly reveal its own identity. This week's spotlight belongs to Amnesia Haze Auto – Pheno A, and she continues to separate herself from the rest of the room. Tall. Graceful. A little unconventional. And absolutely fascinating. While many plants begin focusing on building dense flowers, this lady still seems determined to keep reaching upward, stretching with confidence while simultaneously stacking fresh blooms along every branch. She's writing her own story, and I'm more than happy to let her. ⸻ 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure If this is your first visit to this diary, welcome! Every plant in this project has been grown using my favourite cultivation experiment: 12/12 From Seed. Rather than giving the plants a traditional vegetative period, every seed has lived under a 12-hour light / 12-hour dark schedule from the moment it germinated. The objective isn't simply growing smaller plants. It's about discovering how different genetics—and even different phenotypes from the very same cultivar—express themselves when every environmental variable remains identical. Every plant enjoys: • The same grow room • The same lighting • The same nutrition • The same environmental conditions • The same training philosophy • The same care The only variable is genetics. And this Amnesia Haze continues proving just how unique those genetics can be. ⸻ 🌿 A Personality You Can't Miss This phenotype has become one of the easiest plants in the room to recognize. Her foliage is unlike almost anything growing beside her. The leaves are incredibly long and narrow, giving the entire plant a light, elegant appearance that perfectly complements her open structure. Many growers would immediately describe this as a "classic sativa look." Personally, I prefer to look beyond those traditional labels. Modern cannabis genetics are wonderfully diverse, and leaf shape doesn't necessarily predict how a plant will grow, flower or even express its effects. Still, there's no denying that this phenotype carries that beautiful tropical elegance that makes Amnesia Haze so iconic. It's simply a pleasure to watch. ⸻ 🌸 Flowers Taking Centre Stage This week she's fully committed to flowering. Fresh white pistils continue emerging across every flowering site, and the small budlets are beginning to link together along the branches. Interestingly, she still appears to be stretching. Rather than switching abruptly from vertical growth into flower production, she's balancing both at the same time. That's something I often enjoy seeing with more vigorous phenotypes. They continue building their framework while gradually filling it with flowers, creating plenty of room for each cola to develop over the coming weeks. Right now she's building the stage. Soon the performance begins. ⸻ 🍃 Wonderfully Different One of the things I appreciate most about this lady is that she refuses to fit neatly into expectations. Some of her upper leaves twist slightly. Others curl in unusual directions. The top growth has its own quirky character. Yet despite those unique traits, she's showing exactly what matters most. Healthy colour. Strong growth. No signs of nutrient deficiencies. No indication that she's struggling. Sometimes plants simply express themselves differently, and that's exactly why phenotype hunting is so rewarding. Perfection isn't always about uniformity. Sometimes it's about individuality. ⸻ 💧 Feeding for the Flowering Journey As flowering continues, the nutrition program is now fully supporting bloom development while maintaining the lush, healthy foliage the plant has carried since the beginning. Current nutrition includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom • Sugar Royal • Pure Zym • Power Buds • Green Sensation • pH adjustment using pH Plus and Lemon Kick This week also marks the introduction of Green Sensation, one of Plagron's flowering additives designed to support flower development throughout the final stages of bloom. Rather than relying on several separate bloom boosters, Green Sensation combines multiple functions into a single product, helping support flower formation, resin production and overall plant performance while keeping the feeding program simple and consistent. So far, this lady seems to be enjoying every drop. ⸻ 🌡️ Growing Together Under One Roof Although this is an autoflower, she's sharing the same flowering room as all of her photoperiod sisters. That's one of the aspects I enjoy most about this project. Every phenotype—auto or photoperiod—is experiencing the same environment, making it much easier to appreciate how genetics alone influence each plant's development. Current grow room conditions include: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.78 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 636 ppm Maintaining a stable environment allows every plant to express its natural potential without unnecessary fluctuations affecting the comparison. ⸻ 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs capture exactly why this phenotype has become one of my favourites to observe. The full-plant portraits highlight her remarkable height and elegant structure, with long internodes creating an airy canopy that allows light to reach nearly every flowering site. The close-up photographs reveal clusters of brilliant white pistils beginning to gather along the stems, while the unique foliage gives every image a personality of its own. Some leaves reach outward like delicate fingers. Others curl gently around the developing flowers. Together they create a plant that looks almost wild, yet remains healthy, vigorous and full of life. She's impossible to confuse with anyone else in the room. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the next couple of weeks I'm expecting this beautiful lady to gradually slow her stretch and shift more of her energy toward flower production. If her current structure is any indication, those long, elegant branches should eventually become lined with elongated flowers from top to bottom. She's already shown she prefers doing things her own way. Now I'm excited to see what kind of harvest that unique personality will produce. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Watching every phenotype reveal its own personality while growing under identical conditions continues to remind me that no two plants are ever truly alike. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can document, learn and inspire one another. 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 light powering this entire room every single day. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment where every phenotype can express its own unique potential. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries, sharing your thoughts, asking questions and joining me on this journey. Every plant tells a different story. Amnesia Haze Auto – Pheno A is proving that sometimes the most memorable plants aren't the ones that look perfectly uniform—they're the ones confident enough to grow in their own unique way. Growers Love. 💚🌿

Day 28-35 (May 28th - June 4th) (Day 29) My rooted blackberry #3 clone looks like it’s finally starting to reveg. It’s starting to stretch it’s internodes but no new growth yet. Nearly all 9 are pushing roots now. What a waste of time taking clones in flower! Won’t ever do that again. Grapefruit #1 has a twin! I thought it was just an odd formation on the taproot but two seedlings are pushing out. I wonder if it will be genetically identical. It’s definitely slower growing than the other one so who knows. I will try to train them apart when the time comes. (Day 30) I think the EC/PPMs are too high on nearly every plant including my veggies. The promix is actually really hot for a “blank” medium coming in at 1800. Adding compost and amendments to that is probably raising it to 2500+ at least. It should self balance the more I water it but I know for a fact I can get better growth by leaching the soil around each plant. Next time I use promix for anything, I’m going to prewash it like coco coir and add a dash of oyster shell flour for pH and calcium. (Day 32) Purple tuna is now big enough to start lst on now. I’m going to wait a little while for the slurricanes. (Day 33) One of the grapefruits has a twin that actually popped... I’m going to leave it and see how she turns out (Day 35) I’m going to prune off the lower leaves on each plant. I was going to lst Purple tuna but it’s so vigorous I may as well just top/mainline it. Autoflowers are looking established and should be taking off this week. I wonder if this will give them enough time to veg into decent sized plants before they flower. I won’t be topping or even doing lst. My goal is 22 big spear colas from each plant. I’m going to get all my rooted clones into 1.7 gallon pots over the next week or so.

*Week 5 Flower 09/24* Thus far both both plants are flowering and budding nicely, Trichomes are setting in accordingly, Increase in Phosphate and Potassium nute feeds. Both plants have appeared to stop growing in height settling in at 48Inches. Top COLAS are pretty dense and the aroma coming off both of them is bright and vibrant White Hairs are starting to turn bright orange. *Week 5 Flower Mid week update - 09/28* Both plants have reached max height (48 Inches) Bud sites are filling up and have become more dense with trichomes cover through the flowered bud. 60% orange hair coverage - Nearing harvest *Week 5 Flower End week recap 09/30* Both Apple Fritter and Critical+2.0 nearing harvest Cutting back on nute feeds starting tomorrow and will increase clean water feeds Flushing will begin in a week - both will be harvested in 2 weeks.

Strong smelling bud purple tones thoughout the buds. Dense but could have been bigger had to turn watts down to 800 so limited the size. Good strain to grow easy did a few early techniques Lst topping etc update once dry and total Yeild 10xplants two lights 400x2hps

Week 9 - Fourth Week of Flower The Donutz gang is hitting its stride as the fourth week of flower unfolds. Trichomes are developing beautifully, and the plants are entering full production mode. A few challenges cropped up this week, but quick thinking and some DIY ingenuity kept everything on track. Key Updates: Trichome Progress: The resin glands are popping off, with a frosty layer forming across the developing buds. The plants are starting to show their true potential, and the tent is starting to smell. New Fan Installation: The old ventilator tapped out this week, so a replacement was installed to maintain proper airflow. This ensures the plants stay cool and prevents any issues with humidity or stagnant air. Lamp Adjustment: The front-left plant shot up too close to the light, so I had to get creative. I built a DIY solution to raise the lamp higher, ensuring even coverage and preventing light stress. Accident Recovery: During the light adjustment, I initially tried securing the front-left plant with a rubber band. Concerned it might melt, I removed it, but in the process, the main stem got damaged. Thankfully, the plant is a fighter. The main cola is now growing sideways but remains fully healthy and strong. This unexpected twist has added some character to the tent, and the plant is bouncing back beautifully. Observations: Despite the challenges, all plants are thriving, with strong growth and healthy bud development. The sideways-growing cola on the front-left plant is a unique highlight, showing the resilience of the Donutz genetics. Next Steps: Keep monitoring airflow and light height to avoid any further issues. Continue with the nutrient schedule and reverse osmosis (RO) watering to maintain stability. Watch the trichomes closely as they continue to mature, signaling the start of the final phases of flower. The Florida Gang grind is real, and the Donutz are proving their worth week after week. This tent is shaping up to be a legendary grow!

The beginning of flushing

Very excited , first grow. Struggling with knowing the exact amount of water they need since I am already in the big pots their final resting home

Buds seriously starting to fatten up, put out some serious trichomes and smell this week. Smell has intensified quite alot since last week soon as you open the tent the smell smacks you in the face. More trichomes by the day looking like a serious smoke. Upped the EC to 2 for this week to try and get a much out of these as possible. I won't be going any higher than a 2 EC so I don't fry my plants. Some orange hairs starting to appear on both the cereal milk and wedding cake.

Week 22/11 - 28/11 Feed: Just water

When the queens return, champions who have brought so much luck, you have to beat the drums, prepare the parade, Calling Brazilian salsa dancers, flag-waving gluttons and fire eaters: Zamnesia BISCUITS is back. You will remember it as the magnificent purple plant that made me take first place in the Power Buds contest and brought me lots and lots of luck. Below we add some information directly from the Zamnesia website: ZAMNESIA SEEDS - BISCUITS: DELICIOUS BISCUITS TO EAT AND SMOKE "Liven up your grows and add the Biscotti strain to your cannabis seed collection. It offers the best qualities of marijuana: potency, productivity and intense flavors. Biscotti is composed of South Florida OG and Gelato genetics and contains 22–25% of THC, enough to make your body vibrate from head to toe. The genetic profile of this strain is 80% indica and 20% sativa, with effects that will make you feel relaxed and creative at the same time. The plants of the strain Biscuit produces dark green leaves and numerous pistils, while the buds tend to be small and compact. Towards the end of the flowering phase, when night temperatures drop a few degrees, you may also notice purple hues." The seeds of this champion were in the same package as the famous one and having seen both phenotypes I think it could be her, fingers crossed if I see purple we celebrate. Purple like the bottles of the legendary feeding Plagron Alga Grow which we are using in the measure of 3ml/l together with the epic scented Light Mix soil which looks like something to eat. The seeds of this champion and many others including the brand new F1 that carry forward the autoflowering concept can be found on Zamnesia https://www.zamnesia.io
