I started with three Blackberry Moon Rock seeds, and two of them sprouted – awesome! These girls are loving life, reaching for the sky as the tallest plants in my tent. They're already about six inches tall, and they're taking up all the nutrients very well without any nute burn. Both blackberry moonrocks plants are very similar height although they have very different looks to them. The one of the 2 definitely going ti strech alot more than the other. One has internodes about 1 cm apart rn and the other is about 3/4 to 1 inch between nodes. Happy late turkey day grow diaries world!!!! It's now day 24 from seed for all the seedlings I have going. The past few days the plants have really started to take off. There roots have really started to dig in. Every other water I am still giving 2ml per gal of fox farm grow big. I keep having to tell myself not to add any more nutes other than that. I don't want to fry my plants but I also want they to start jumping. I'm quite excited for the coming week, I think the next 7 days or so is when the plant really starts to transform and look more like a pot plant than just some random little green thing. A few days ago I decided to move the plants from under my 55w cheep amazon light to under my spider farmer 100w newer version light with the good leds in it. The plants will hopefully be ready to up pot them here soon and get them in the large tent. Sometimes when growing multiple different strains it can be really hard to balance giving to much or to little light. You don't want the faster growing plants to get to stretched out waiting on the slower plants to catch up I spend Thanksgiving day morning transplanting the plants into 2gal pots. I am useing spme promix potting soil it's my 1st time tring this soil. It is actually doing really well the roots were all white and nice looking. I think next time I'm going to add some worm casting, kelp, granular mycos, and a little bit extra perlite. I just didn't have the money with christmas coming to splurge for all the extra stuff. I got rid of 2 plants 1 of the bubble og and 1 skunk apple runtz. There is only room for 10 pots in the 2x4 tent. I will peob only bring 8 of them to flower, always good to have back ups. Yesterday I also stuck the plants back under the 500w medicgrow mini sun 2 in my 2x4 tent. They did great under it the 2nd half the day I was happy they didn't get stressed. I had put them under that light a little early about 10 days ago or so. I am expecting in a week these plants will ge going crazy with growth

Alright… time for the big reveal 😂 The outdoor girls haven’t been on any fancy feeding schedule. For the past 1.5 months, I’ve just been giving them the runoff from my indoor plants. Yup. Literally scooping up the leftover feed from the trays — FPJ, TriPart, CalMag, whatever mix was in rotation — and dumping it straight on them. No pH. No dilution. Just bucket to "soil". And somehow… they’re loving it. No burn. No signs of stress. They’ve been growing quietly this whole time, just living off secondhand nutrients like champs. Aged in the bucket. Served with pride. 💀 Didn’t plan it. Didn’t expect it to work this well. But I’m rolling with it. Long live the runoff. 🌱🍶

buds getting big fast!! looking icey.

Day 23: -Seeing great growth from the little girl, true leaves developing, and slowly burying the stem over as she grows. Showing great resilience so far, and nice rich colour to her leaves 😁 Feeding every other water still. Day 25: - feed today, a nice 2.5L to moisten up the 3gal she's in, no run off, she's very happy and healthy. Day 28 - (end of week) showing good progress this week above soil. Seeing better growth on leaves and now seeing nodes. Beautiful 😍 Began lst today, minor pull back of main stem to allow better light penetration, also I believe that the technique of burying her stem as she grew did add abit of stress, but not enough to impact as her main stem is already looking thicker and I'm under the impression by doing this it will allow for a better stable plant as in being able to hold itself more. We will see 👌✌️💚

she actually went for just about 10 whole weeks of flower. I’m chopping her at 69 days, as I write this, but I will post relevant photos in a harvest update after it’s dried and weighed. I watered with only distilled since the last update, and starved her of water and RH in hopes of increasing last minute the resin and trichomes production. Flushed with more distilled and after a few more days turned the lights off for two days of darkness. The next update will have the result.

🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 11 | The Queen Is Still Getting Heavier 👑🔥🌸 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And our Queen... Well... She's still doing what she does best. 😂👑 Growing. Filling space. Building flowers. Getting heavier. Getting louder. And somehow continuing to make me stop every time I walk into the room. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A remains one of those plants that doesn't really need an introduction anymore. You see her... and you know exactly who she is. She's the tall one. She's the funky one. She's the heavily branched one. She's the one with flowers everywhere. She's the one getting heavier by the week. And she's still not finished. Not even close. So let's give this Queen the spotlight again. Because honestly... she deserves it. 👑🌿🔥 ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 11 – THE AUTO THAT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE AN AUTO ──────────────────────── Now we're getting into an interesting part of this experiment. Because technically... we're moving into the autoflower section of the 8×8 Adventure. 😂🌱 But I'm going to be completely honest with you: I'm not entirely sure anymore where the autoflowers end and the photoperiods begin. 😂 We're running everything under 12/12 from seed. We're treating the room as one shared ecosystem. Same general lighting. Same environmental strategy. Same irrigation system. Same nutrition approach. Same photons. And somehow... the plants are all finding their own rhythm within that setup. Some are moving quickly. Some are moving slowly. Some are compact. Some are tall. Some are stacking aggressively. Some are taking their time. And some... well... they're behaving like autoflowers. Or perhaps the photoperiods are behaving like autoflowers. 😂 At this point, I honestly don't know. Maybe they're all just behaving like plants. And that's actually the part I love most. ──────────────────────── 👑 THE 12/12-FROM-SEED MYSTERY ──────────────────────── This entire project started with one of the things I find most fascinating about growing: What happens when we stop trying to put every plant into a perfectly predictable box? We've got different cultivars. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different structures. And yet they're all sharing the same 12/12 environment. And they're responding... but not identically. Amnesia Haze Pheno A is a perfect example. She's an autoflower. Yet when I look at her in this room, I'm not sitting there thinking: "Ah yes, that's clearly an autoflower." 😂 She's simply behaving like a plant that has found her rhythm. She's flowering. She's building. She's developing. She's getting heavy. And she's doing it under the same light schedule as everybody else. That's what makes this experiment so interesting. We're not forcing the plants to fit our expectations. We're watching them tell us what they want to do. ──────────────────────── 🌸 AND SHE'S STILL BUILDING ──────────────────────── The biggest thing I notice this week? She's still building. The flowers continue to develop. The structure remains incredibly full. And the weight throughout the plant is becoming increasingly obvious. She's not just carrying flowering sites anymore. She's carrying flowers. Lots of them. And because she's such a large, three-dimensional plant, they're distributed throughout the entire structure. High. Low. Inside. Outside. Along the branches. Hidden behind foliage. Everywhere. 😂🌸 You think you've found the last flower... and then another one appears. And another. And another. It's like she has an unlimited supply. And honestly? I'm not complaining. Not one bit. ──────────────────────── 🍃 THE FUNKY LEAVES ARE STILL HERE ──────────────────────── And yes... our funky leaf lady is still doing her thing. 😂🍃👑 Up. Down. Sideways. At angles that sometimes make me wonder whether the leaves have their own architectural plans. And I still find it fascinating. Because we're working with a three-dimensional lighting environment. Main lighting from above. Additional lighting deeper into the canopy. Additional light reaching areas that wouldn't necessarily receive the same illumination from a traditional overhead-only setup. And then we have this girl... responding in her own particular way. Could the lighting contribute to what we're seeing? Possibly. Could it simply be her genetics? Absolutely. Could it be a combination? Very possible. I'm not going to pretend I have the answer. And that's okay. Sometimes the best part of a grow diary is documenting an observation without immediately deciding what caused it. We'll keep watching. We'll keep photographing. And we'll let the plant tell us more. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS – COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLANTS ──────────────────────── And this brings me back to one of the biggest themes of the 8×8 Adventure. Photons don't care what label is written next to the plant. 😂☀️ They arrive. The leaves intercept them. The plant processes that energy. And then... genetics take over. One phenotype creates one architecture. Another creates something completely different. One plant stretches. Another stays compact. One plant flowers quickly. Another takes the scenic route. One plant becomes extremely frosty. Another becomes incredibly large. And Amnesia Haze Pheno A? She apparently decided: "Why not be tall, funky, heavily branched AND loaded with flowers?" 😂👑🌿 Fair enough, Queen. You do you. ──────────────────────── ☀️ THE LIGHTING UPGRADE CONTINUES TO WORK ──────────────────────── The room is still running with the upgraded Future of Grow lighting setup. We added two additional Black Series 600W fixtures to give the room more capability. Rather than simply running everything at maximum output, we brought the fixtures down to approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug which gives us approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And that's something I really like about this setup. We have the capability... but we're controlling it. We're not chasing numbers simply because we can. We're creating a larger lighting envelope and then using the available power intelligently. And this Queen? She's clearly making use of it. 😂🌿💡 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE QUEEN IS FILLING HER SPACE ──────────────────────── At around 175 cm, this girl is still one of the big characters in the room. And she knows how to use that space. She's not just tall. She's three-dimensional. She's got branches moving in different directions. Flowers positioned at different heights. Foliage creating layers. And flowers tucked throughout those layers. That's what makes her so impressive. You can stand back and see the entire plant... and then move closer and discover another story. A branch. A flower. A cluster. A little patch of frost. Another developing flower hidden behind a leaf. It's almost like looking at a city from above. From far away, you see the structure. Get closer... and suddenly there are thousands of individual things happening. That's Amnesia Haze Pheno A right now. ──────────────────────── 🔥 HEAVY MAMA IS STILL HEAVY ──────────────────────── And yes... she's still getting heavy. 😂🔥 This has become one of the defining characteristics of this girl. The branches are carrying serious amounts of flower. The support system continues doing its job. And the plant is increasingly looking like she has some weight behind every major branch. That's a beautiful thing to see. Because when you follow a plant week after week, you get to see the transition. First: "Look at all these flowering sites." Then: "Look at those flowers developing." Then: "Okay... those flowers are becoming substantial." And eventually: "Right... this girl is getting heavy." 😂👑 We're definitely in that chapter now. ──────────────────────── 💨 AND THAT AROMA... ──────────────────────── The smell continues to be another part of her personality. She's not exactly shy. 😂🔥 The flowers are becoming increasingly noticeable. And this is one part of growing that photography simply can't capture. I can photograph her structure. I can photograph her flowers. I can photograph the frost. I can photograph the leaves. But I can't photograph the smell. Not yet, anyway. 😂📸 So some parts of this diary have to remain purely sensory. And Amnesia Haze Pheno A is definitely making herself known in that department too. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ THE QUEEN GETS THE SAME NUTRITIONAL UPDATE ──────────────────────── As with the rest of the room, we've also increased the nutrition this week. 🌱 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 are around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again, we're treating the room consistently. No special recipe simply because she's Amnesia Haze. No completely separate world. Same general nutritional foundation. And then we observe. Her response continues to be beautiful. She's growing. She's developing. She's maintaining her structure. She's building flowers. She's getting heavier. And she's clearly continuing to use what the environment provides. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 11 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same general conditions. Same overall strategy. And yet... look at her. That's the part I keep coming back to. The environment provides the stage. The genetics write the performance. ──────────────────────── 🔬 AUTO OR PHOTO? MAYBE WE SHOULD STOP ASKING 😂 ──────────────────────── Honestly... this 12/12-from-seed experiment has reached the point where I'm starting to question my own categories. 😂 We have autoflowers. We have photoperiod genetics. They're all sharing the same 12/12 schedule. And the behavior? It's surprisingly fascinating. Some of the autoflowers don't look dramatically different from the photoperiod plants. Some of the photoperiods are moving with an almost autoflower-like rhythm. And each individual plant is still expressing itself differently. So perhaps the most useful observation isn't: "Does this look like an auto?" or: "Does this look like a photo?" Maybe the better question is: "What is this particular plant doing in this particular environment?" And Amnesia Haze Pheno A is answering: "I'm going to build flowers everywhere and get heavier while I'm at it." 😂👑🌸 Message received. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM. SAME AMBIANCE. DIFFERENT STORIES. ──────────────────────── This is why I keep repeating the same sentence throughout these diaries: Same room. Same environment. Different genetics. Different expression. And yes... I know I've said it before. 😂 But that's because it's important. Especially for anyone discovering this diary for the first time. Every phenotype has its own diary. And every reader may only see one of these reports. So I want the experiment to remain clear. We're not changing everything for every plant. We're watching what happens when different genetics experience a common environment. And Amnesia Haze Pheno A is giving us a spectacular example. She is doing something very different from many of the other girls. And that's exactly what we're here to document. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA STILL HAS A LOT OF WORK ──────────────────────── I don't think this girl is ever going to make the photographer's job easy. 😂📸 There are simply too many details. Wide shot: "Wow, she's huge." Medium shot: "Look at that structure." Closer: "Look at those flowers." Closer still: "Look at the frost." Macro: "Okay, now I'm completely lost." 😂🔬 That's the fun. Every distance tells a different story. And this plant has enough structure to keep revealing something new every time I look at her. ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE DOESN'T NEED TO PROVE ANYTHING ──────────────────────── At this point, Amnesia Haze Pheno A has already established herself. She's one of the big personalities of the room. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's heavily branched. She's flower-loaded. She's funky. She's aromatic. She's getting heavy. And she's still developing. She doesn't need to compete. She doesn't need to be the biggest. She doesn't need to finish first. She's simply being herself. And honestly? That's what I want. Because the purpose of this adventure isn't to make every plant behave identically. It's to discover what each one wants to become. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW ──────────────────────── At this stage, I'm watching a few things particularly closely. 🌸 Flower development. How much more will those flowers build? ⚖️ Weight. How will the plant continue handling the increasing weight throughout her structure? ❄️ Resin. How much more frost will appear as she continues developing? 💨 Aroma. How will that loud Amnesia Haze character continue evolving? 🍃 And, of course... whatever the hell those leaves decide to do next. 😂 Because apparently they're writing their own diary. ──────────────────────── 🔮 STILL PLENTY OF STORY LEFT ──────────────────────── And despite how impressive she looks right now... we're not finished. Not even close. That's important. Week 11 is still a chapter. Not the ending. There's still development ahead. Still flowers to build. Still resin to watch. Still structure to observe. Still aroma to experience. And plenty more photographs to take. So I'm not going to start predicting exactly where this girl is going to finish. I'm simply going to enjoy the ride. Because she's already made this one hell of an interesting journey. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – THE QUEEN KEEPS GETTING HEAVIER ──────────────────────── Week 11. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A. And the Queen is still doing exactly what she knows how to do. 👑🌿🔥 She's tall. She's funky. She's heavily branched. She's carrying flowers everywhere. She's getting heavier. She's getting louder. She's continuing to develop. And she's doing it under the same 12/12-from-seed environment as the rest of the room. Which brings me right back to the strange little mystery we're seeing throughout this entire adventure. The autoflowers are behaving a little like photoperiods. The photoperiods are behaving a little like autoflowers. And maybe... just maybe... under 12/12 from seed, the labels become a little less interesting than the actual plants. 😂🌱 Because at the end of the day... this girl doesn't care what we call her. She's Amnesia Haze Pheno A. She's got her own rhythm. Her own structure. Her own personality. Her own way of using the photons. And her own way of filling the room. And honestly? She's doing an incredible job. 👑💚🌸🔥 So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let the Queen shine. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching those flowers develop. And let's see just how much heavier this beautiful girl can become. Because she's not finished. Not even close. And I have a feeling... she still has a few surprises left for us. ──────────────────────── 🙏 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 giving us the opportunity 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 see what the girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This 8×8 Adventure continues to surprise me every week. Twelve different genetic stories. One shared room. One common environment. And so many completely different personalities. And Amnesia Haze Pheno A? She's one of the loudest characters in the room. 😂👑 She's tall. She's funky. She's heavy. She's flower-loaded. She's aromatic. She's beautiful. And she's still growing. So let's give this Queen her spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. And let's see where this incredible girl takes us next. 👑🌿💡🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the autos are acting like photos, the photos are acting like autos, and Amnesia Haze Pheno A is apparently just doing whatever the hell she wants. 😂👑🌿🔥

Sour stuff! Great daytime smoke and head high

Good week in the tent 👌 only given ph'd water again. Been a lot warmer so been good for the girls in the then but not so good for some seedlings I had going on my window. Every day now seeing more growth the original Russian is the furthest along. Kind of surprised about this because i was expecting #Quick one to be the fastest out of the lot. Not the case for me here at the minute. Excited for the next few weeks to see what different strains start looking like smelling like all that jazz! Hoping for a couple of oz all together. A few different flavours not expecting any monster yield here. Took a pic of each individual plant all are quite small. Seem to have 4 I'd class as big girls for my space. Six shooter, zkittles og, missile 33 and cosh kush are all nice little bushy plants. The white widow and the Rusian are nice as well maybe if I had positioned them differently in the tent it could all have been different who knows. Peace 🍁

Bought a PH kit the cheap one with the vial and drops realized I’ve been watering and foliar spraying around 7 maybe slightly higher. Adjusted PH before last foliar to 6.5 roughly also maybe slightly under and WOW. Noticing the chlorophyll coming back strong and evenly. Wasnt a major issue but I had been wondering about it seems to be solved now. Also super exited both DragonsBlood have the bleeding trait!! Thank you to everyone providing answers and tips for me. Going to flower in another 2 weeks or so.

Alright, another week. Ladies looking well. Defoliated the Sugar Mama and Fastberry mid-week they took it well. Ran out of Neem Oil last week and noticed a couple of small bugs flying around, no idea what they are so ordered some more neem oil and some stickies. The other girls are all doing well, they are drinking much less than usual, I had a bunch of alfalfa seeds lying around so sprinkled them around some of the plants. Upped the feed as they seemed to need it. EC is now going from a base of .6 to 2.4

Well, it looks as if one of the 3 plants is a male. I live in denial for one more day and then I toss it. Not sure which plant it is, as I painted over the strain names when I painted the cups grey. Smooth. So I will find out soon. Otherwise, good weather and some good growth. Roots are balled up at the bottom of the dutch bucket reservoir, Im sure, because I let the drip go dry for a day or two and the plants were droopin (coco)

Day 78 Day 28 flower 19/07/24 Friday Started the week with a good watering as she had a double feed end of last week. She took 4L de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 and no run off, added another 1L and see run off forming on all sides. She is a happy, strong 💪 plant !! The buds development is nice on this strain! I like to see the calyxes stacked like this, I'll get some macros tomorrow. Smelling like lemon sherbet it's insane 🤯 or a old school sweety shop. Day 79 Day 29 flower 20/07/24 Saturday Nothing to report. Day 80 Day 30 Flower 21/07/24 Sunday Big feed again, de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 added nutrients. Seeing her stack now 🤩 Smells getting stronger daily 🙌 💚 Added a short video. Day 81 Day 31 Flower 22/07/24 Monday De-chlorinated tap water only today pH 5.9 and watered in 5L had a little run off. She is getting so thirsty it's awesome! She is starting to stack them calyxes. Update on pictures and video 📸🤩 Day 82 Day 32 Flower 23/07/24 Tuesday FEED again today , De-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Full 5L had about 300ml run off. She is so thirsty !! 5L a day now. But it's showing, calyxes are stacking beautifully, the trichomes production is nice and starting to have a magical effect with flash 📸 🤩 Day 83 Day 33 Flower 24/07/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Did 4L and started to see run off so left at that. Day 84 Day 34 Flower 25/07/24 Thursday END OF WEEK She really has packed on weight this week, thirst and hunger is hard to keep up 😅 Smells phenomenal, looks insane. Pic+Vid update

Week 5 I believe and they’re doing great..topped them lil over a week ago. Thinking another week or two then flip to flower! 😎

2/12: I put the fat one into the dark. The skinny one is almost dry... 2/13: Harvested the fattie and washed her. She's hanging to dry now. The skinnier one is finally dry. I weighed and jarred her up, then I pressed about 6 grams of her larfy bud into some delicious sweet piney rosin. I actually dabbed her rosin before I even smoked her bud..a first! She weighed in at a meager 94g, but it's very dank and frosty bud. I'm sure the fattie will come close to being double that weight.

Day 65 of flower, not sure when to cut her down yet, but she's looking well!

Week 6 everything was on par with week 5 of flower however, girl #1 has officially pulled away from girl number #2. Girl #1 is 27 Inches tall while girl#2 is 16 inches tall. Toward the end of week 5 girl #1 started flowering and her bud sites are becoming more defined as she progress. I maybe be wrong but it seems like girl #2 maybe is slower and gonna flower in the next 2 weeks hopefully. She definitely is indica dominant with her short bushy stature. But, I thought the indica dominate pheno had fast flowering when compared to the sativa pheno. I did do some more defoliation of the fan leaves on each girl and any leafs blocking the light to increase the budsites potential. also I removed the more undeveloped lowers. Doesn’t looked to have stressed them out with all my defoliation. These ladies smell has increased very much. Everything is still on par with week 5. I’m very grateful to have this opportunity to have all you experienced growers view my diary. Thank you very much and it means the world to me seeing I have any views.

Hey everyone :-) This week a lot has happened 🤗🍀. The 5 that are already in the 12/12 cycle explode day after day 😍😅. All others have been repotted, and will remain in the vegi phase for 1-2 weeks. Otherwise there is not much to say 😃. I wish you all a good start into the week, let it grow and stay healthy 🙏🏻🍀🌱
