🌱 Week 1 Seedling Report — The Yin & Yang Expression Strain: Amnesia Skunk Breather : Zamnesia Seeds Stage: Seedling Week: 1 Light Cycle: 12/12 from seed Medium: PRO-MIX soil Container: Grow bags Feeding Program: Plagron schedule Grower: DogDoctorOfficial ⸻ Overview Amnesia Skunk is settling beautifully into her environment. From the very first week, she’s already showing personality — expressing a distinct Yin & Yang pattern in her second pair of true leaves. Long, elegant blades curve in opposite directions, creating a natural balance that immediately stands out, especially when viewed from above. This is not stress — this is character. ⸻ 🌿 Growth & Structure • All plants have successfully developed their second pair of true leaves • Leaves are long, narrow, and well-defined • The second node is where the Yin & Yang expression becomes visible • Growth is steady, symmetrical, and healthy • Stem strength is developing nicely with no signs of stretch • Plants are responding very well to PRO-MIX soil in grow bags Even at this early stage, her structure hints at future vigor. ⸻ 📸 Visual Notes (Bird’s-Eye View) Bird’s-eye photos clearly show: • The mirrored curvature of the second leaf pair • Clean leaf edges and healthy coloration • Balanced spacing and posture • A calm, centered growth pattern supported by the PRO-MIX medium The Yin & Yang expression is most visible from above. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Conditions Conditions remain identical to previous reports in this run: • Stable temperatures • Balanced humidity • Same light source, distance, and photoperiod • Same watering strategy • Same soil system (PRO-MIX in bags) No environmental changes were introduced this week. ⸻ 💧 Watering & Feeding (Plagron Recipe) • Light, controlled watering appropriate for seedlings • Following the Plagron feeding schedule • Gentle early-stage nutrition only, respecting seedling sensitivity • No signs of overwatering or nutrient stress • Roots are establishing well within the PRO-MIX substrate ⸻ Observations Amnesia Skunk is expressing early phenotypic uniqueness through leaf morphology rather than speed. The Yin & Yang leaf formation suggests a balanced, expressive plant — a reminder that early structure often hints at future personality. What to Expect • Early transition toward preflower due to 12/12 from seed • Continued expression of symmetry and leaf character • Moderate stretch rather than aggressive vegetative growth • Clear phenotypic traits appearing earlier than in 18/6 runs ⸻ ⚠️ What Not to Expect • Heavy vegetative mass • Long internodal stacking typical of extended veg • Rapid topping or training windows • High nutrient demand at this stage This approach is about expression, not size. ⸻ 📝 Summary Week one has been smooth, healthy, and visually distinctive. Amnesia Skunk is rooted, balanced, and already expressing her individuality under 12/12 from seed. A calm, promising start to a very intentional journey. Looking forward to seeing how this symmetry evolves as she moves deeper into vegetative growth.

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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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.

Hello my fellow growers I hope you are all having a wonderful holidays and a wonderful day in general! Anyways I have been very busy recently so I couldn’t post a weekly update but I will be posting some more pictures later this week as I will be manipulating the plant a bit more to maximize my cola potential but beyond that nothing much is happening just watering her on the Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule and letting her grow

This plant has been growing unbelievably well. She has not only grown fast but evenly. I've been doing some pruning of the tiny lower bud sites that won't grow into much and doing some more LST to let more light in.

It should be noted that with the current share of blue in the spectrum, the sprout does not stretch at all, I will probably adjust in favor of red in the coming days

Everything is going smoothly, the buds are getting bigger day by day All the girls are bug free, they are still looking green The G13 has the strongest smell followed by the Runtz and the GDP doesn’t smell like anything for now

Week 10, Week 10 has been fun. The buds are becoming denser and starting to almost look like a finished product. I am planning on harvesting the plant the first week of next month, so three weeks or so and counting! I am adjusting the tie downs twice a week trying to get the buds as much sunlight as possible. I am watering every 3 days with 6.0 ph water. I have been putting a teaspoon of FloraNova in the water with a tablespoon of molasses mixed in but it appears she received a little nutrient burn. I'm not to worried about it because I wanted to make sure the flower sites received enough nutrients to make some dense dank buds. It isn't a huge burn but a little. As a result I started mixing only half a teaspoon of FloraNova in the water to make sure any future burn doesn't happen. I am excited about the plant, she is starting to look like a thiccy ha I am probably going to starting flushing in three weeks. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns/comments. Happy growing Growmies 🙌

First i have to say i messed up at gemenation 3 of them dyed and had to gereminat again. So: Sweet seeds: Black Cream Gem at 30/3, Veg at 6/4 is now preflowering at week 3 and was the only one that didnt dyed. Zamnesia: Wedding Cake Gem at 6/4, Veg at 12/4 is now at week 2 Bomberry Glue Gem at 8/4, Veg at 14/4 is now at week 2 also Purple Couscous Gem at 11/4, Veg at 17/4 is now at end of week 1 Its going to be a strange diary but because the timelapse ideia makes all sense just to make one Diary. When I was enjoying some smoke from a green gelato came to my mind what if i automated my garden? Hand on in some zigbee sensores and plugs and my Hassio. Done some flows on node red and this is what i have got till now: Fully autometed light: 1 mars hydro ts1000 17.5h hours a day 2 Cosmorrow blooming 18.5 hours a day 1 uvb light 3 hours a day Fan: Temperature controlled ( working on how can i control vpd with it) CO2: Working But Disable( Jq300 not stable sensor it poles from cloud waiting for another sensor to arrive to connect to a esp32 and pole my values) Vent: controles by inou temperature delta Cam: Live feed and timlapse My Hassio gives me telegram notifications and plugs control, ppfd, dli, vpd calculed and the normal temp and humidity. Still No soil moiste control just a miflora but not very accuret still searching for sensor that works to come up with a watering system All its maid to have a <300watts consum so small lamps and no dehumidifier buts very easy to scale it up. Im all open in sharing my work and help on new ideas. Please Coment and help develop it

Week 3 G14 everything is great I've increased the biobizz to 2ml still adding nitrozyme once a week and a little cal mag I've tied the top in a pony tail for 24/48hrs so branches underneath stretch I used a covid mask string very handy 17th added a net but the holes are a little small and it increases humidity so I've removed it.if your running a mars or any Chinese lights as you know they run hot and increase humidity check out video for a simple hack.

Seeing how the results are, the big ones I made apical and fmi species or the one you cut 3/4 I think they came out in a few days, some just cut the leaf and sprouted, I helped the biggest one with its final production and all of them general the different techniques, although curious results for a beginner, the techniques were not done well, they were cut halfway or only the leaves and not the apex itself ahahahaha, it turned out but very good in the end I would say

Pistils finally starting to really show, expecting her to really fatten up the coming weeks. Having some troubles keeping the humidity low, as I have a super budget little dehumidifier. Getting a bigger one would be about 100€ but I'm not sure if that's worth it, if anyone knows more please lemme know :)

The pictures don't do these buds justice. They are a brilliant purple and orange color. I have definitely outdone myself for my first grow ever. These buds have that perfect subtle smell and taste of blue salt water taffy. It's brilliant. I couldn't get it to reveg which is a disappointment but it will live on in my memory

Week 10 Flower After 4 whole weeks of flush this girl has finally met the scissors ✂️ It took her quite some time to fade out, but after cutting down the most faded half of the plant that was closest to the light on Day 65, and then the rest on Day 70 it was long enough. I'm very impressed with how fat and chunky this girl has become. I wasn't expecting quite this size from first look at her thinner stems and branchy structure earlier in flower, but her buds have swelled up nonetheless and she's stacked well. I always cut my girls down around half an hour (or a bit more) before the lights are due to turn on. This prevents her from starting any chlorophyll production in order to maintain the best flavour and burn. Only a few fans were taken off before being left to hang dry as she's absolutely covered in trichomes! Don't throw away your sugar trim (leaves with trichomes) as this can later be used for dry sift, which can then be pressed for some dank rosin. Harvest update coming soon! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺
