Introduction - Week 09 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 100906.68, Overall a pretty good grow week! Started the week off by increasing the light's intensity. Also raised it up a bit. Most of the week was basic growth checkups and humidifier refilling. Mid week, increased the light's intensity a bit more. Also did a top soil drench of organic fertilizer along with a simple defoliation. Towards the end of the week, decided to give both girls a large bottom watering. Also did a mini defoliation again. Now that both reservoirs are full with about 2 gallons, shouldn't need to water for a while. Next week will be the big 12/12 flip! Steady as she grows Ensign. Engage! 🖖 [START OF WEEK 09] ========================================================== WEEK 09 - Full Veg Wk4 04/17/23 → 04/23/23 This Week's Estimated Goals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DLI: 39 mol/m2/d PPFD: 600 μmol/m2/s VPD: 0.5-1.0 kPa This Week's Meter Readings & Averages ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DLI: 40.05 mol/m2/d PPFD: 618 μmol/m2/s VPD: 1.04 kPa Soil %: [25.9, 37.3, 32.0, 34.7] ========================================================== Day 01 - Monday - 04/17/23 - Total Days: 063 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages - Temps: 77.8°F [25.4°C] - Humidity: 68.6% - VPD: 1.00 kPa - Soil %: [19, 28, 30, 28] ----------------------------------- - [09:23]: Quick morning checkup! --- Looking great my ladies! --- EB1 is continuing to explode with growth! --- Refilled the humidifier with distilled water and Hydrogen Peroxide (~20mL). - [22:25]: Evening my girls! --- Growing along nicely! --- The top of the canopy is clearly filling in with top sites. --- Refilled the humidifier with distilled water and Hydrogen Peroxide (~20mL). --- Looking at the lower leaves, plan to do another fertilizer feeding soon.

Looking great ladies! --- Top growth is looking very nice! --- Hmm. A bit of yellowing is still developing on the lower leaves. --- Regardless, canopy growth is still spreading out quite nicely! --- With this being the last week of 18/6 veg, these girls are bushing out quite nicely! --- After flipping the light schedule from 18/6 to 12/12, some cannabis plants will double in size. --- Starting to get a bit nervous (well more stoked than nervous) about the growth spurt these ladies may undergo (also known as the 'stretch phase'). - [16:19]: Took PPFD readings. --- EB1 was around 476 μmol/m2/s which gives a DLI of 30.84 mol/m2/d --- EB2 was around 449 μmol/m2/s which gives a DLI of 29.1 mol/m2/d --- Decided to increase the intensity of the grow light. Going for a PPFD goal of 500. --- Will also most likely need to raise it up a bit. - [16:27]: Within the AC Infinity App, --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the grow light. --- Increased the MAX from 3 to 4 --- The FC-6500 is now utilizing around 327.3W from 261.9W (at intensity 4 out of 10) - [16:33]: Raised the grow light up a bit. --- Took new PPFD readings. --- EB1 was around 528 μmol/m2/s which gives a DLI of 34.21 mol/m2/d --- EB2 was around 499 μmol/m2/s which gives a DLI of 32.34 mol/m2/d --- Great! - [16:48]: Took a general light distance reading for EB1. --- She's now about 16.25" from the grow light. --- Plan to do final height and distance readings at the end of the week. --- Okay! Now for the soil! - [16:53]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 20% - [CH01 EB1 - grow bag] --- 28% - [CH02 EB1] --- 30% - [CH03 EB2 - grow bag] --- 28% - [CH04 EB2] --- Soil moisture is drying around EB1. --- EB2 soil seems to be 10% more hydrated. --- Now for the basic meter. - [16:58]: Using the soil moisture probe, took readings for each EarthBox. --- Soil moisture levels for EB1 was at 5.5 out of 10 --- Top soil both looked and felt dry. --- Soil moisture levels for EB2 was at 3 out of 10 --- Top soil looks hydrated but felt dry. --- Fascinating. 🖖 --- A huge contrast in moisture data. --- Based on the basic meter, both girls have drank quite a bit. Yet the Ecowitt sensors have not really changed much at all. - [17:09]: Rotated both EarthBoxes 180 degrees. --- Checked the fill tube for each EarthBox. --- Both fill tubes are now pretty dry! --- With the current soil moisture levels, decided to continue on with the top soil drenching. --- Don't frack this up Ensign! - [17:21]: Filled a pitcher with 5 cups of distilled water. --- Then filled a measuring cup with 2 cups of distilled water. --- Added 1/32tsp + 1/64tsp + Half 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract --- Added 1/16tsp + 1/32tsp + 1/64tsp of: ------ Horticultural Aloe ------ Big 6 Micronutrients [+ Humic Acid] --- Added 1/8tsp + 1/16tsp + 1/32tsp of: ------ Mycrobe Complete ------ Recharge --- Added 1/4tsp + 1/8tsp + 1/16tsp of: ------ Pure Protein Dry [Organic Fish Aminos] --- Added 2mL of Bio-Catalyst Enzyme Elixer --- Added 5.25mL of Yah-Whey --- Mixed the solution and poured everything straight into the pitcher to mix with the 5 cups of distilled water from earlier (now 7 cups). --- Poured 3.5 cups of the mixed solution into a spray bottle. - [17:54]: Rotated the EarthBoxes 90 degrees. EB2 is now facing the front. --- Before watering, going to defoliate a bit. - [17:58]: Using a pair of trimmers, I gently clipped away lower yellowing leaves. --- Removed a few of the larger fan leaves which were covering top sites. --- To help to further promote top growth, also removed more lower nodes. --- Time to top soil drench! --- Also going to top dress a bit of gnarly barley! - [18:27]: Gently removed the rear moisture meter before pealing back the plastic much cover. --- Now for the top dressing. - [18:30]: Sprinkled 1/4cup of Gnarly Barley onto the top soil. --- Tried to stay towards the back. --- Using my fingers, I gently tilled the topdressing into the top soil. --- Also tried to work in all of the trimmings from the defoliation. - [18:42]: Misted the top soil for EB2. --- Made sure to spray the area with the Grow Dots, but did not spray the grow bag. --- Sprayed the whole top soil, but focused more on the back area. --- Placed the mulch cover back along with the rear moisture sensor. - [18:59]: Rotated the EarthBoxes 180 degrees. --- Now for EB1, --- Using a pair of trimmers, I gently clipped away yellowing leaves. --- Also removed the larger fan leaves covering top sites. - [19:20]: Gently removed the rear moisture meter. --- Then pealed back the plastic much cover. - [19:24]: Sprinkled 1/4cup of Gnarly Barley onto the top soil. --- Again, tried to stay towards the back. Also sprinkled a bit around the grow bag. --- Using my fingers, I gently tilled the topdressing into the top soil. --- Also tilled in the trimmings from the defoliation. - [19:45]: Using the rest of the solution (~3.5cups), misted the top soil for EB1. --- Made sure to spray the Grow Dots, but did not spray the grow bag. --- Tried to spray the solution evenly. - [19:47]: Placed the mulch cover back along with the rear moisture sensor. --- Rotated the EarthBoxes back to the default configuration. --- Refilled the humidifier with distilled water and Hydrogen Peroxide (~20mL). - [20:12]: Misted the top growth with a bit of distilled water. --- Really hope I didn't over-water. --- Going to let the water soak in a bit before checking the moisture levels. --- Okay! - [21:31]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 31% - [CH01 EB1 - grow bag] --- 44% - [CH02 EB1] --- 33% - [CH03 EB2 - grow bag] --- 35% - [CH04 EB2] --- As expected, soil moisture overall is higher. --- Will continue to check moisture levels as the soil dries out.

[END OF WEEK 09]

7/11/25 CRAZY! she's finally flowering

Gary Patron - Nine Weeks Harvest Day 122 🚿 I've watered her every three days with 2L of RO tap water, pH'd to 6.3👌🏻 I'll be leaving her to dry back over the next couple of days in preperation for harvest, which is a few days from now 💪 ✂️ No work on her this week, as I gaver her a good defoliation last week - she will be getting a wet trim and more defoliation a day or two before I harvest her. 🌸 Shes in week nine of bloom, and her flower is absolutely covered in trichomes, mabye the most I've ever seen - the majority of her trichomes have turned milky clear with some ambers starting to appear. Her pistils have also all dried and turned amber, which on the backing of her vibrant lime green flower with some purple tips, is both striking and inviting. I will leave her to finish maturation over the next couple of days, while I fight with the temperatures trying to keep them in the 20's with the weather we're having at the moment! I'd say shes about 3-5 days from harvest at this point 👍

Boosted with pk and vipars

Die 4. Blütewoche neigt sich ihrem Ende zu. Den Pflanzen geht es soweit gut . Nächste Woche beginne ich mit dem PK 13/14. Vermutlich 2 Giessgänge. Allmählich beginnt es auch sehr lecker zu duften. Hoffe das jetzt nichts rumzickt. Ziel ist es Temperatur und RLF konstant zu halten. Die Pflanze welche am nächsten zur Zuluftsöffnung steht purpelt schon leicht.

After 8 weeks of flowering she was ready with her solid purple buds smelling of rotten lemons I love thus strain now an Goat Genetics has done an amazing job with her an I will grow her very soon again

Comenzando la 3era semana en donde nuestras Tropicannas Poison de Sweet Seeds. van super y con un olor. La alimentacion es la misma en variando en un poco las dosis.

Nähere Informationen und Bilder folgen im Laufe des Prozesses. Die Ladys hängen jetzt zum Trocknen.

Had a pretty serious gnat infestation this week. I noticed some movement in the runoff water after feeding. After taking video I made a 2:1 water to peroxide mixture to spray down the bucket and into the overflow trays of both plants in the tent. I also added a gnat traps and a low tent to help dry the soil and prevent gnats from hanging out there.

Last week for these 3 remaining Runtzz I flushed them 4 days ago with flawless finish they had 2 feeds of flawless so far 1 more and then we chop them on Tuesday. Will be doing 10-15 days drying in a 3x3. Looking very frosty all 3 of these now orange hairs all curled and looks like they have packed out really well! The smell when you open the tent is heaven!! Old school bud smells! The journey is nearly fully complete! 😎😎😎😎 Will post harvest pics of these 3 on the next update! 12/05/25 Last 3 have been chopped and are now drying

We’ve officially rolled into Week 6! It’s been a pretty gray and chilly week on the home front. We barely saw any sun, and the nighttime temperatures dropped below 10°C on two of the days. But this resilient lady didn't let the weather stop her from putting on some great growth. I did some minor LST fine-tuning, and I’m super happy with the results. The training has worked out beautifully—the distribution of the thicker stems is looking really solid, creating a nice, even framework for the upcoming buds. Since we are officially transitioning into bloom, I gave her her first taste of nutrients this week, mixing some CalMag and Bio Bloom into the tap water. Appearance & Flower Development: She grew incredibly well this week! In terms of flower development, she is tracking about a week behind the Black Orchid, but with her excellent structure and the new flowering nutrients kicked in, she is perfectly primed to explode with buds soon. Don't forget to check out the Black Orchid Auto diary to see how far along her flowers already are!

🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 12 | The Tiny Pot That Somehow Grew a Giant 😂👑🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Okay... I need to start this week's report with a confession. 😂 I had an idea. A small-pot idea. An 11-litre pot. And at the time... I thought: "Yeah, this could be interesting." 😂 Well... Let me tell you something. WHAT A FUCKING DUMBASS IDEA. 😂😂😂 Because this girl apparently received the memo... and decided to completely ignore the size of the pot. 👑🌿🔥 Look at her. Seriously. LOOK AT HER. She's growing. She's bulking. She's stacking. She's building a main cola that makes me question my original life choices. And then she's doing the same thing with the side branches. And the side branches have side branches. And those branches have flowers. And suddenly I'm standing there looking at this beautiful monster thinking: "Why the hell did I put you in such a small pot?" 😂😂😂 But... it is what it is. And that's actually part of the adventure. We learn. We evolve. We adapt. We document our decisions. Sometimes we make brilliant decisions. Sometimes... we make decisions that make us look at ourselves twelve weeks later and say: "Mate... what were you thinking?" 😂🌱 But the plant doesn't care. She doesn't care that I chose a tiny pot. She simply said: "Okay. I'll grow anyway." And grow she did. 👑🔥🌸 So this week... let's give this absolutely ridiculous little-pot Queen the spotlight. Because she has earned every bit of it. ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 12 – THE LITTLE POT THAT COULDN'T STOP HER ──────────────────────── Last week we talked about how this girl was doing whatever the fuck she wanted. Well... that hasn't changed. 😂 If anything... she's doubled down. She's still in that 11-litre pot. She's still growing. She's still developing. She's still stacking. And she's still becoming a plant that I honestly didn't expect to see coming from such a relatively small container. That's probably the biggest surprise of this entire phenotype for me. I knew she could grow. I knew she could flower. I knew she could become beautiful. But this? 😂 This is beyond what I had pictured when I put that little pot under her. She's not behaving like a girl who received the memo saying: "You have limited space." She's behaving like: "That's your problem." 😂👑🌿 And honestly... I respect it. ──────────────────────── 😂 THE 11-LITRE POT REGRET CLUB ──────────────────────── Let's officially establish the problem. The 11-litre pot. 😂? When the idea was born, it seemed like an interesting experiment. Could she do it? How would she develop? How would the plant express herself? And now... twelve weeks later... I'm looking at her thinking: "Yes. She can do it. She REALLY can do it." 😂😂😂 The problem is that the plant didn't stay small. She didn't politely remain proportional to the container. She grew tall. She developed a beautiful structure. She created a serious main cola. She developed side branches carrying their own substantial flowers. And now she's basically turned my experimental little-pot idea into a weekly reminder that plants don't always read the plan. 😂🌱 But that's okay. Because that's also what growing is about. We make decisions. We observe the results. We learn. We adapt. And then we do better next time. No shame. Just experience. And in this case... a beautiful fucking plant. 😂👑🔥 ──────────────────────── 👑 LOOK AT THAT MAIN COLA ──────────────────────── Now... THIS deserves some attention. Because look at that main cola. 🔥🌸🔥 Seriously. Look at it. The structure. The length. The flower development. The way it's stacking along the main stem. The way the individual flower clusters are becoming more substantial. It's beautiful. And it's especially impressive when you remember where this plant is growing from. An 11-litre pot. 😂? This is the kind of thing that makes you stop and stare. Because you can look at the plant as a whole and think: "Okay, she's beautiful." But then you isolate the main cola... and suddenly you realize just how much she's actually building. It's not just one pretty top. It's a complete flowering structure. And she's still developing. That's the part that gets me. She's not finished. She's still building. She's still bulking. She's still changing. And I'm sitting here thinking: "Girl... where are you getting all this from?" 😂👑🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌸 AND THEN THERE ARE THE SIDE COLAS... ──────────────────────── And just when you think: "Okay, that main cola is impressive." You look around. 😂 And the side branches start talking. "Hello." 🌸🌸🌸 There are beautiful flowering structures developing throughout the plant. Side branches carrying their own substantial colas. Different levels. Different angles. Different expressions. And together they're creating a really impressive overall architecture. This is something I particularly love about her. She's not relying entirely on that main cola. She's built an entire network of flowering branches. The main cola gets the spotlight. But the side branches are absolutely not supporting actors. 😂👑🌿 They're part of the show. And they're putting on one hell of a performance. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE'S BULKING ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest change I'm noticing now. She's bulking. 🌸➡️🌸➡️🌸 The flowers are gaining more presence. The structures are becoming fuller. The branches are carrying more visual weight. And the entire plant feels more substantial than it did just a few weeks ago. That's what makes the weekly photographs so valuable. Because if you only saw her today, you might simply say: "Beautiful." But we've been watching her develop. We've watched her go from: "Interesting little plant." to: "Okay, she's getting tall." to: "Wait... she's actually building some serious flowers." to: "WHAT THE HELL DID I PUT IN THAT 11-LITRE POT?" 😂😂😂 And now we're here. Week 12. And she's still going. ──────────────────────── 💚 SMALL POT – BIG PLANT ──────────────────────── I think this might officially become her nickname. Small pot. Big plant. 😂👑? Because that's exactly what she is. She's not small. The pot is. 😂 There's a difference. And I think that's what makes this phenotype so fascinating. She has completely exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect this kind of size. I didn't expect this kind of structure. I didn't expect this kind of flowering development. And I definitely didn't expect to spend this much time thinking about how to manage a plant that I intentionally put into a small container. 😂?🌿 But that's the reality now. She's big. She's beautiful. And she's doing incredibly well. ──────────────────────── SHE'S TEACHING ME SOMETHING ──────────────────────── This is one of those moments where the plant teaches the grower. And that's one of the things I love about growing. You can have a plan. You can have an idea. You can have expectations. And then the plant comes along and says: "No." 😂🌱 Or: "Yes, but..." Or, in this girl's case: "Sure, I'll do your small-pot experiment... and then I'm going to grow much bigger than you expected anyway." 😂👑 And that's valuable. Because now I know something about this phenotype that I didn't know before. She's capable of becoming a substantial plant even in this particular setup. And instead of being annoyed with the original decision... I'm actually fascinated by the result. The mistake became part of the experiment. And the experiment became part of the story. That's the beauty of documenting everything. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT RESULT ──────────────────────── And of course... she's still sharing the same room with everybody else. Same 8×8. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same nutritional foundation. Same irrigation system. Same overall approach. And yet... look at what she has become. That's genetics. The room gives the plants a common stage. But every plant interprets that stage differently. The same photons arrive. One plant stretches. Another stays compact. One develops unusual structures. Another builds huge flowers. One moves quickly. Another takes her time. And this girl? She's apparently decided to use those photons to build a giant flowering plant from a tiny pot. 😂☀️🌿 Fair enough. ──────────────────────── ☀️ THE LIGHTING UPGRADE IS STILL PART OF THE STORY ──────────────────────── The room continues with the expanded Future of Grow lighting setup. We added two additional Black Series 600W fixtures, giving us considerably more lighting capacity across the 8×8. Rather than simply running everything at maximum output, we've brought the fixtures down to approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug giving us around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity naturally varying depending on plant height and position. And this girl has certainly found a way to use that light. 😂🌿☀️ She's got a tall, three-dimensional structure. Leaves at different levels. Branches reaching into different areas. Flowers developing throughout the canopy. And those photons are interacting with all of it. That's what I love about this room. It's not just about putting light on the top. It's about creating a three-dimensional environment where all these different plants can express themselves. And Amnesia Haze Pheno B is definitely expressing herself. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE STRUCTURE IS BEAUTIFUL ──────────────────────── When I look at the photographs this week, what really stands out is the structure. The main cola is impressive. But then you look around it... and there's another flower. Another branch. Another flowering structure. Another cola developing below. It's almost like she decided: "Since I'm already here... I might as well fill the whole damn plant." 😂🌿🌸 And I love it. She's not just tall. She's becoming substantial. The plant has developed a clear vertical architecture. And those side branches are contributing to the overall structure instead of simply disappearing underneath the main stem. That's what makes the whole plant look so impressive. It's balanced. It's layered. It's three-dimensional. And it's absolutely beautiful. ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE'S PERFECTLY HERSELF ──────────────────────── I've said this throughout the diary... but it becomes even more obvious now. She doesn't need to be her sister. She doesn't need to be the fastest plant in the room. She doesn't need to have the biggest pot. She doesn't need to follow anybody else's rhythm. She's Amnesia Haze Pheno B. And she's doing her thing. She's growing. She's bulking. She's stacking. She's developing those beautiful colas. And she's doing it in a way that has completely surprised me. That's what makes a phenotype memorable. Not necessarily that it follows expectations... but that it breaks them. And this girl has definitely broken mine. 😂👑🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE GROWER'S JOB CHANGES ──────────────────────── At this stage, I'm also finding myself doing less. And that's intentional. The big structural decisions have already happened. The plant has built herself. Now we're entering that phase where the grower becomes more of a caretaker and observer. We look. We inspect. We support where needed. We adjust when something actually needs adjusting. And otherwise... we let the plant work. That's exactly what I'm doing with this girl. I'm not trying to reinvent her. I'm not trying to force her into another shape. I'm simply watching her develop. And when she needs help... she gets help. That's it. Sometimes the best thing we can do is leave a beautiful plant the hell alone. 😂🌿 ──────────────────────── ? THE SUPPORT STORY CONTINUES ──────────────────────── And of course... with a plant like this... support remains part of the story. 😂?👑 She's carrying a lot of flower. She's got substantial branches. She's got a serious main cola. She's got side colas everywhere. And gravity remains undefeated. 😂🌍 So we continue to support the plant where necessary. Not because something is wrong. Because she's built enough structure that the physical weight becomes part of the equation. The support isn't changing her. It's helping her carry what she has already created. And honestly... there's something satisfying about that. The plant did the work. We just give her a little helping hand. ──────────────────────── 📸 THESE PHOTOGRAPHS TELL THE STORY ──────────────────────── And these photographs? They're fantastic for showing exactly what I'm talking about. The close view gives us the main cola. You can see the flower structure. You can see the stacking. You can see the leaves surrounding the flowers. And then the wider view puts everything into context. Suddenly you see: "Oh..." She's not just got one beautiful cola. She's got a whole plant full of them. 😂🌸🌸🌸 And that's the part I really wanted to highlight this week. Not just the size of one flower. The entire architecture. Main cola. Side colas. Branches. Flowers everywhere. A small pot supporting a plant that somehow decided to become much larger than expected. It's a beautiful contradiction. 😂👑? ──────────────────────── ⚗️ SAME ROOM – SAME NUTRITIONAL FOUNDATION ──────────────────────── The nutritional approach remains consistent with the rest of the room. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm And again... we're not chasing the plant. We're observing her. She's developing. She's bulking. She's building. And she's looking beautiful. So the approach remains: Consistency. Observation. Adjustment when necessary. And otherwise... let her work. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 12 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room remains broadly around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 11 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same general conditions. Same approach. And yet... one hell of a different plant. That's the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── 😂 THE "WHAT WAS I THINKING?" MOMENT ──────────────────────── I'm going to leave this section here for future me. 😂 Dear future DogDoctor: Remember the 11-litre pot idea? Yes. This one. The beautiful Amnesia Haze Pheno B. Look at her. Now remember how you thought: "Let's try the smaller pot." 😂😂😂 Well... you learned something. And that's the important part. We don't need to pretend every decision we make is perfect. Growing is experimentation. Sometimes the experiment works exactly as intended. Sometimes it works completely differently. Sometimes it gives you a result you didn't expect... and that result becomes more interesting than the original plan. That's where I am with this girl. Was the tiny-pot idea perhaps a dumbass idea? Absolutely. 😂 Did the plant care? Apparently not. 😂👑🌿 And that's what makes this so much fun. ──────────────────────── 🧠 WE LEARN. WE EVOLVE. WE ADAPT. ──────────────────────── That's really the lesson I want to carry forward. We learn. We evolve. We adapt. Every grow teaches us something. Every phenotype teaches us something. Every decision gives us another piece of information. And sometimes the lesson comes from something as simple as: "Maybe don't put such a big-growing plant in such a small pot." 😂? Lesson received. But until this beautiful girl tells me otherwise... I'm just going to admire what she's done. Because she has absolutely smashed my expectations. And she's still going. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? ──────────────────────── Honestly? More observation. More bulking. More flower development. More support when needed. More photographs. And probably... more moments where I stand in front of her thinking: "Seriously?" 😂👑🌿 We're going to keep watching the main cola. We're going to keep watching those side branches. We're going to watch how the flowers continue to develop. And we're going to let her decide how much more she wants to build. I'm not going to put a deadline on her. I'm not going to predict the finish. She's still writing the story. And right now... the story is damn beautiful. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – THE LITTLE POT, THE BIG GIRL ──────────────────────── Week 12. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B. And what can I say? She's fucking beautiful. 😂👑🌿🔥 She's growing. She's bulking. She's stacking. She's building an impressive main cola. She's developing beautiful side colas. She's filling her structure. She's becoming heavier. And she's doing all of this from an 11-litre pot. 😂? I genuinely did not expect her to become this big. I didn't expect her to become this beautiful. And I definitely didn't expect to be standing here twelve weeks later looking at this plant and thinking: "How the hell did you do all that in there?" 😂 But she did. And that's the beauty of the experiment. Sometimes the plant gives you exactly what you expected. Sometimes it gives you something completely different. And sometimes... it gives you a beautiful surprise that makes you question your own decisions while simultaneously making you incredibly proud. That's this girl. She's a surprise. She's a lesson. She's a beautiful phenotype. And she's absolutely doing her thing. 👑🌿🌸🔥 So let's give her the spotlight. Let's look at that main cola. Let's appreciate those side branches. Let's admire the stacking. Let's enjoy the flowers. Let's keep supporting her when she needs it. And most importantly... let's let her shine. Because this little-pot girl? She's anything but little. 😂👑?🔥 And honestly... I couldn't be happier to be wrong about what she was going to become. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Amnesia Haze genetics and for giving us this incredible phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper and lower areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch these girls develop. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This 8×8 Adventure keeps teaching us something new. Twelve different plants. One shared environment. Different genetics. Different expressions. Different rhythms. And Amnesia Haze Pheno B? She's teaching me something very specific: Maybe don't put a plant like this in an 11-litre pot. 😂😂😂 But... we learn. We evolve. We adapt. And we keep going. Because despite my questionable pot-size decision... look at what she has become. A beautiful, substantial plant. A serious main cola. Beautiful side branching. Flowers everywhere. Bulking. Stacking. Growing. Shining. 👑🌿🌸🔥 So let's give this girl the spotlight she deserves. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching that main cola. Let's watch those side colas continue to develop. Let's support her when she asks. And let's see just how far this little-pot experiment can go. Because apparently... the 11-litre pot was merely a suggestion. 😂?👑 She had other plans. Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where we learn from our mistakes, adapt to our surprises, and occasionally discover that the "small pot" plant... isn't small at all. 😂👑🌿🔥

Stopped with Ripen (should’ve switched to it earlier). Beginning flush with pH tested water for till harvest.

Week 13 from seed. Around week 8 flower in our 12/12 galaxy. 🙂 And now… everything is changing. The room feels different this week. The colors are shifting everywhere. Leaves are fading naturally across the canopy, hairs are turning deeper orange and copper tones, trichomes are getting thicker and cloudier by the day, and the plants are entering that final stage where the grower does less, observes more, and lets time do its work. The “almost no nutrients” strategy is still rolling beautifully. At this point we are basically running enzymes and patience. No heavy feeding. No panic corrections. Just letting the plants finish the way they want to finish. Less became more in this run. From the beginning, the goal was simple: minimal stress, minimal interference, and let the plants grow naturally into the lights under 12/12 from seed. No endless training sessions. No constant manipulation. Just a little leaf tucking here and there, careful observation, and letting the room guide itself. And honestly… these Skywalkers rewarded that trust. Heavy fruits everywhere. Dense flowers from top to bottom. Plants leaning under their own weight and asking for support from the yo-yos. Colors stacking on the pistils. Resin thickening every single day. One thing I’m especially happy with is the lower canopy development. The under-canopy lighting keeps helping the plants mature evenly from top to bottom, and the difference is very noticeable now. What could have become airy popcorn buds simply never had the chance. The lower flowers are dense, developed, and fully part of the harvest. What used to be “sea buds” became real flowers… or disappeared completely during cleanup. We also continue using the far-red strategy: 15 minutes after lights-off, while slowly increasing reds during lights-on as well. The idea is to help simulate the end of the season and encourage those natural finishing responses from the plants. Maybe terpene expression, maybe flavonoid response, maybe simply stress-signaling and seasonal behavior… but whatever is happening, the room is speaking loudly right now. And the yellowing leaves? At this stage, that’s not something scary here. That’s the plant redistributing energy, consuming reserves, and moving toward the end of its cycle. After 13 weeks together, this is part of the story. Now is not the time to rush. There’s no point harvesting early after all this patience. We’ve already come this far together. At this stage, the grow is less about “doing” and more about understanding when to simply wait. Calmly. Observing. Checking. Smelling. Watching the trichomes. Letting the plants tell us when they are truly ready. Next week? Expect more fading. More swollen flowers. More support needed. More aroma. More late-flower personality. But don’t expect panic harvesting just because the finish line is visible. We wait for the moment that feels right. Huge thanks to everyone stopping by this diary: the OG followers, the silent lurkers, the new growers, the skeptics, the supporters, the lovers, the haters, the community, the platform, the breeders, the sponsors, and everybody spending even five minutes here with us.

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.

This variety offers the whole range of citrusy and woody flavors with a strong candy-sweet background that will keep you coming back for more and more. Bud description Tropicana Cookies Auto produces gorgeous dark purple flowers, so expect really dark buds with gorgeous hues of pink, purple and blue, and thick dark-orange hairs that get completely covered in resin by harvest time, giving them an almost shiny-white appearance. This variety develops a typical Indica-like structure and very few sugar leaves that will make your trimming sessions a breeze. But make sure to store your trimmings as the gorgeous flowers reek of a mouth-watering blend of lemon peels, orange juice, and sandalwood that gives it almost a citrus candy-like flavor that makes for the most aromatic hash and extractions.

Plant appearance Tropicana Cookies Auto reaches up to 110cm and develops a tall main cola with shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. You can expect a stocky yet tall main cola with medium-sized side branches and thin fan leaves that fade into a yellowish hue with a beautiful dark purple tint. Thanks to the excellent selection, this variety develops a short internodal spacing that makes the medium-sized flowers look like they’re growing stacked on top of each other. It’s the ideal choice for growers who want to get big yields without having to deal with huge plants, as this monster yielder can produce up to 150g per plant while growing relatively short. Grow tips This variety grows super dense buds so make sure to space out the branches by tying them down, this way you improve airflow which helps prevent mold and other pests. Tropicana Cookies auto reek of a delicious sweet and sour smell so make sure to flush thoroughly to enhance the aromas even more. This terpene heavyweight finishes with lots of resinous sugar leaves that make for fantastic hash and extractions so remember to have your trim bucket ready!
