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.

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.

Day 29: New week, new development. Let's find out, if I can manage the "star" of 4 branches at the top. For now, it looks like the activated the 2 other branches and I decided today, to get all the branches to the same height to achieve an even canopy. Day 30: She doing really good now. Look at her development since yesterday! I watered her today with 1 L with nutrients mentioned above and rotated her by 90° so that every branch gets the best amount of light. Nothing else to do today. I plan to start the AutoPot and the AirDome tomorrow or the day after. Let's grow! Day 31: She looks very healthy and is starting to grow really fast now. I adjusted the LST strings, etc. and tucked some leafs. I started the AutoPot System incl. the AirDome and air pump today. Day 32: Not much to do today. I adjusted the LST string again and tucked some leafs. She seems to like the bottom feeding and this will show his effect in about 2 days. I expect her to "explode" then. I think, I will defoliate her tomorrow a bit, also to get a better understanding of the structure I want to build and to increase the airflow. Day 33: I defoliated her today. Nothing else has been done. Let's find out, how she likes this in the next days. Day 34: Nothing to do today. I let her do her thing. Day 35: I was wondering, why she starts to build flowers when I run 18/6. Now I checked the seed packaging and see, that Zamnesia sent me the wrong seeds. This is an auto and not a photo. And I ordered feminized seeds, not the auto feminized for the eternity grow cup 😒 I double checked this in my order history and did not when I received the package and also not, when I started the run, as I did trust on that 🙈 I don't want to blame anyone. I just want to make clear, that this run is not what I was aiming for 🙈 It's kind of bad and my plans are "destroyed", that's for sure. Let's adapt and see, what I can get out of this run now. -------------------------------------------------------------- 🙏 Thanks for visiting and follow for daily updates 🌱

OK so this week I have officially changed yje light cycle and have been running a 12/12 and will of course carry that on now until the end if we get there. The food amounts have now changed on to flowering amounts and even though the plants are different in size they both look really well. I have started to feed them both the following Micro 32ml Grow 12ml Bloom 48ml Ph is 6.0 These amounts are based on 20 litres of water. So I am hoping to see changed and some flower heads popping through (I hope). Let's wait and see what happens as again this is my first 12/12 run. So really hoping for the best here lol. Peace out growmies

Hi So another clone run, the mother Runt impressed me with her vigure I had to get cutting, very fast fat growth, massive leaves. resilient and just overall top shelf genetics. I'm thinking to fill a tent and use 1 for breeding, the biggest one obviously, I have 4 male strains to choose from im sure the breeder a friend of mine won't mind I will ask but there won't be a problem there, it's a bit more personal when the seeds arnt from a million pound company and it's just polite and breeder ethics in my eyes.. Growing these girl's in my home brew super soil il have a nice addition to add to the mix going into final pots il keep that 1 and inform you then although Iam going to have to keep these in veg till January so il keep them as small as I can or do some mayor work (HST)on them. **Added **a video of 2 of the roots from the clones. Showing symbiotic relationship with mycorrhizal fungi inoculant added as soon as I cut the clones.. As for now grow on.. Good luck and much love 💚✌️

The Harvest Prelude: After a patient wait and 48 hours of darkness, the moment arrived. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja, standing proudly like a silent guardian, was ready for the grand harvest. The sound of each cut echoed through the grow space, reminiscent of felling a mighty tree. The compact structure of the buds was awe-inspiring, a testament to the ninja's disciplined growth. The Lego Ninja, like a stoic warrior, was then hung upside down, beginning a two-week drying ritual. Maintaining an ambient temperature of around 21°C and a relative humidity of 60%, this slow-drying process allowed the buds to retain their essence, preserving the symphony of terpenes and cannabinoids. The trimming phase unfolded like a fragrant masterpiece. Each bud, adorned with a glistening layer of resin, transformed the trimming process into a sensory delight. The zesty aroma of oranges enveloped the room, a tangible expression of the tropical lineage. The compact buds made every snip a careful dance, revealing an abundance of frosty trichomes. The moment of reckoning arrived with the scale's unveiling. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja, from a single plant, bestowed upon me 309 grams of dried medicine. Each gram was a treasure trove of cannabinoids, a promise of euphoria and relief. The sheer compactness of the buds translated into a concentrated potency that left me in awe. In parallel, the clones, nurtured with equal care, showcased a fascinating divergence. A twist in the tale unfolded as the intense oranges of the mother transitioned into vibrant tangerines. This unique expression, I believe, was a testament to the clones weathering a summer heatwave differently, bringing forth a distinct personality. The clones, resilient and generous, gifted me a bountiful 549 grams of pure joy. This now my keeper of the garden, an embodiment of the Lego Ninja's legacy. The harvest dance, though familiar, carried the nuances of tangerine zest, a refreshing twist that left me eager to explore its intricacies. Both harvests shared a common thread—their resinous abundance. The trim bin, akin to a treasure chest, gleamed with golden trichomes and fragrant joy. Sticky fingers became a badge of honor, a tangible connection to the resinous richness that filled the room. Shout Outs: No harvest report is complete without expressions of gratitude. A special nod to @DutchPassion_Official for crafting the genetic marvel that is the Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja. Their expertise paved the way for this epic journey, and I tip my hat in acknowledgment. In conclusion: As the dust settles on this epic harvest saga, my heart brims with happiness and excitement. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja has proven itself not just as a plant but as a living masterpiece. Stay tuned for the smoke report, where we delve into the true essence of this botanical ninja's legacy. Until then, fellow cultivators, may your gardens flourish, and your harvests be as bountiful as the joy they bring. As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life<3 <3 <3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience With true love comes happiness <3 <3 <3 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so <3 <3 <3 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only <3 <3 <3 Growers Love To you All <3 <3 <3 P.S- I must extend my sincerest apologies for the missing video reports.

F36, desde los últimos 3 riegos, empecé a regar día por medio, con la idea que que engorden más en esta etapa, esperando no sobre fertilizar, también agregue melaza en el último riego, el cuál fue de EC 2.2 y pH 6.4. En cuanto a tricomas/resina las plantas están espectaculares, el olor también es impresionante.
