🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 12 | The Heavy Queen Needs a Little Help Holding Herself Up 👑🔥🌸 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And our Queen... She's still doing exactly what she wants. 😂👑 And honestly? At this stage, that's exactly what I want to see. She's growing. She's developing. She's carrying an absolutely ridiculous amount of flower. She's getting heavier. And she's basically reached the point where I walk into the room, look at her branches, and think: "Yep... you definitely need another yoyo." 😂😂😂 I know. I know. There are a LOT of yoyos on this girl. Probably more than most plants would ever need. But... have you seen her? 😂👑🌸 She's heavy as fuck. There. I said it. 😂 And I'm not even sorry. Because when a plant is carrying this much weight throughout her structure, those supports aren't decoration. They're there because the plant is simply asking for a little assistance. And that's pretty much the entire story of this week. We're not doing much. We're not trying to change her. We're not trying to force her. We're not trying to reinvent the plant. We're simply watching. And when she needs something... we support her. That's it. She is doing her beautiful thing. And I'm perfectly happy letting her do it. 👑🌿🔥 ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 12 – LET THE QUEEN BE THE QUEEN ──────────────────────── This is one of those weeks where the best description is probably: "Not much happened... and that's exactly what we wanted." 😂🌱 The structure is established. The flowers are developed. The plant knows where she's going. The environment is stable. The lighting is doing its job. The irrigation is doing its job. The nutrition is being managed. And now? We observe. That's becoming more and more the rhythm of the 8×8 Adventure. Earlier in the grow, there were plenty of decisions to make. Plenty of things to adjust. Plenty of structural work. Plenty of moments where we had to actively guide the plants. Now we're reaching the part where the plants are doing most of the work themselves. Our job becomes much simpler. Look. Observe. Check. Support when necessary. Adjust when necessary. And otherwise... leave the girls alone. 😂🌿 And Amnesia Haze Pheno A? She's making that incredibly easy. Because she's doing exactly what she should be doing. ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE'S HEAVY... REALLY HEAVY ──────────────────────── Let's talk about those yoyos. 😂😂😂 Because there are a lot of them. And yes... I know. I KNOW. Anyone looking at the photographs might be thinking: "Mate... how many yoyos does one plant need?" 😂 Apparently... this many. 👑????? But there's a reason. She's heavy. Not "looks like she might get heavy." Not "maybe she'll need support later." She's already carrying serious weight throughout the plant. The branches are loaded. The flowers are substantial. The overall structure has a lot going on. And without support, she's simply not standing the way she would naturally if she were carrying less weight. So what do we do? We help her. That's it. No drama. No panic. No complicated intervention. Just support. If the plant is telling us: "Hey... this is getting a little heavy." We listen. 😂👑 That's what those yoyos are there for. ──────────────────────── ? THE YOYOS HAVE ENTERED THE CHAT ──────────────────────── At this point, I think the yoyos deserve their own section. 😂? Because honestly... they've become part of her identity. Every time I look at her, I see another one. "There's another yoyo." "Oh, there's another one." "And another." 😂 Eventually I'm going to run out of places to put them. But until then... the Queen gets whatever support she needs. Because I'm not interested in watching beautiful branches struggle simply because I want the plant to look cleaner. Function comes first. She's carrying weight. We're helping her carry it. Simple. And I actually like this part of the grow. Because it shows something important. Supporting a plant isn't necessarily about changing the plant. Sometimes it's simply about helping the plant support the results of everything it has already built. 🌿➡️🌸➡️? She's done the growing. She's built the flowers. Now we're just giving the structure a helping hand. ──────────────────────── 🌸 LOOK AT WHAT SHE'S CARRYING ──────────────────────── And when you actually stop and look at this girl... it's pretty impressive. The flowers are distributed throughout that huge structure. Branches are loaded. There are flowering sites at different heights. There are flowers tucked throughout the canopy. And everywhere you look... there's something happening. This isn't a plant with one or two impressive branches. She's got a whole network of them. That's why the weight becomes such an important part of her story. Her size isn't simply about height. She's a three-dimensional plant. Branches moving in different directions. Flowers occupying different levels. Foliage filling spaces. And all of that adds up. At some point... gravity gets involved. 😂🌍 And gravity doesn't care how beautiful your flowers are. So we help. ?👑 ──────────────────────── 🌿 NOT FAST – NOT SLOW – JUST PERFECT ──────────────────────── And I really like how the user described her this week: She's not moving fast. She's not moving slow. She's moving perfectly. 💚🌿 That's exactly how I feel about this girl now. We've spent weeks comparing different rhythms throughout the room. Some girls are flying. Some are taking the scenic route. Some are somewhere in between. But Amnesia Haze Pheno A? She's simply doing her thing at exactly the rhythm she wants. And I don't feel any need to put a speed label on her anymore. She's not racing. She's not lagging. She's just... growing. 😂🌱 And she's doing it beautifully. That's enough. More than enough. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM – SAME PHOTONS – HER OWN JOURNEY ──────────────────────── The environment remains shared. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the room. We're still using the expanded lighting capacity with controlled output rather than simply running everything flat out. Approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug with around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally varying intensity depending on plant height and position. And once again... the interesting part isn't simply the number. It's what the plant does with the environment. Amnesia Haze Pheno A has built herself a huge, three-dimensional structure. She has leaves at different levels. Branches crossing through different areas. Flowers occupying different positions. And she's interacting with those photons throughout that structure. The plant isn't a flat surface. She's an entire little ecosystem of leaves, branches and flowers. 😂🌿☀️ And she's using the room. ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE CAPABILITY – CONTROLLED POWER ──────────────────────── I continue to love what the Future of Grow lighting upgrade has brought to this room. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures gave us more capacity. But more capacity doesn't mean we have to use maximum capacity all the time. That's not the goal. The goal is control. We have the ability to provide more light where it's useful. We can adjust the output. We can distribute the available photons across this enormous canopy. And we don't need to push the fixtures unnecessarily. That's one of the things I really appreciate about this setup. More capability. More flexibility. Controlled output. And the girls get to decide what to do with it. ☀️💚🌿 A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for making that possible in this adventure. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE DOING THE TALKING ──────────────────────── And honestly... at this point, I don't need to do much talking for her. Her flowers are doing it for me. 😂🌸 They're there. They're developing. They're gaining substance. They're occupying the branches. And they're making those branches heavy enough that we've basically had to build a support network around the Queen. 😂👑? That's one of those situations where the plant tells you what it needs. There's no need to invent a problem. There's no need to constantly intervene. If she needs support... support her. If she doesn't... leave her alone. And right now? Support is the main thing she's asking from us. So support she gets. ──────────────────────── 🔬 OBSERVATION MODE: ACTIVATED ──────────────────────── This is the stage of the grow where I feel like I'm becoming more of a spectator. 😂 And honestly? I love it. Earlier: "Should we train this?" "Should we move that?" "Should we adjust this?" "Should we clean this?" Now: "How does she look?" "Does she need support?" "Is everything stable?" "Is there anything that actually needs our attention?" If the answer is no... walk away. 😂🌿 That's the discipline. Sometimes the best grower intervention is knowing when NOT to intervene. And Amnesia Haze Pheno A doesn't need us constantly touching her. She needs room to continue doing what she's already doing. ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE'S BECOME A BIG MAMA ──────────────────────── I've called her the Queen for weeks. But honestly... she's becoming more and more of a big mama. 😂👑🌿 She's got size. She's got branches. She's got flowers. She's got weight. She's got personality. And she's got enough support equipment around her to make it look like she's preparing for a small construction project. 😂?🏗️ But I wouldn't have it any other way. Because everything we're supporting is something she built herself. Every branch. Every flower. Every gram of weight. Every bit of structure. It's the result of her own growth. We're simply helping her carry it. And that's a pretty beautiful stage to be in. ──────────────────────── 🍃 THE FUNKY LADY IS STILL HERSELF ──────────────────────── And of course... we can't forget the leaves. 😂🍃 This girl has always had her own way of arranging herself. Her foliage continues to have that characteristic Amnesia Haze Pheno A personality. Leaves pointing here. Leaves pointing there. Some sitting at angles that make absolutely no sense to my human brain. 😂 But that's her. And I'm not here to make every leaf behave like it belongs in a textbook. I'm here to observe the plant. If the plant is healthy-looking and developing beautifully... I don't need to correct something simply because it looks different. Different is part of the experiment. And this girl is definitely different. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – CONSISTENCY AND OBSERVATION ──────────────────────── The room continues under the same general nutritional approach we've been using during this stage of the run. We're no longer at the point where I feel the need to constantly change things simply because a new week has started. Instead... we observe the plants and make adjustments when they're actually needed. The same general flowering nutrition remains part of the room's framework, while we're beginning to think more about the transition toward the later stages. The important part for Amnesia Haze Pheno A is that we're not chasing her. We're not saying: "She's big, therefore we must change everything." 😂 No. She's big. She's developing. She's using what she's being given. So we continue watching her response. That's it. Consistency. Observation. Adjustment when necessary. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 12 – ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room remains broadly stable 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 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h ? Pot size: 15 L And again... these numbers are the framework. The plant is the story. And her story right now is: "I've got this. Just hold me up a little." 😂👑? Fair enough. ──────────────────────── 🌿 WHEN SUPPORT IS ENOUGH ──────────────────────── I think this is the perfect example of how simple the job can become during this stage. We're not doing major structural work. We're not reshaping the canopy. We're not trying to force new growth. We're not trying to make her something she's not. We're simply providing support where the plant needs it. That's it. And then we step back. Because once you've reached this stage... you don't want to confuse activity with progress. Doing more doesn't automatically mean doing better. Sometimes: less intervention + good observation = exactly what the plant needs. And that's where we are with this girl. She's doing the growing. We're doing the watching. And occasionally... we're doing the yoyo installation department. 😂? ──────────────────────── 📸 AND YES – SHE STILL DESERVES THE CAMERA ──────────────────────── Even though this week isn't about some huge intervention or dramatic change... she remains one of the plants I most enjoy photographing. Because there's so much structure. So much going on. So much weight. So many flowers. Every angle tells something different. Wide shot: "She's huge." Closer: "She's loaded." Closer still: "Okay... that's a lot of flower." 😂📸🌸 And then you look at the support structure and think: "Yep. Definitely needed those yoyos." 😂?👑 The photographs become a record not just of the flowers... but of how the entire plant is carrying them. ──────────────────────── THIS IS HER RHYTHM ──────────────────────── One of the things I really appreciate now is that I don't feel the need to compare her speed to anybody else. She's simply moving. Not too fast. Not too slow. Perfect. And that's probably the best place to be. Because every plant has its own rhythm. Some explode. Some creep. Some pause. Some suddenly accelerate. And some simply find a rhythm and stick with it. Amnesia Haze Pheno A seems to have found hers. And I'm happy to let her stay there. She doesn't need to win a race. She just needs to continue being herself. 🌿👑 ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? ──────────────────────── Honestly? More of the same. 😂 And I'm completely happy with that. We'll keep watching the flowers. We'll keep watching the weight. We'll keep checking the support. We'll keep observing the leaves. We'll keep monitoring the environment. And if something needs adjusting... we'll adjust it. If something needs support... we'll support it. And if nothing needs anything? We'll leave her the hell alone. 😂🌿 That's the plan. No unnecessary interference. No forcing. No rushing. Just letting this beautiful Queen continue her journey. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – LET THE QUEEN DO HER THING ──────────────────────── Week 12. And Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A? She's still doing her thing. 👑🌿🔥 And honestly... I love that. She's not racing. She's not lagging. She's not asking us to constantly change something. She's simply moving at her own rhythm. And that rhythm looks pretty damn good. She's beautiful. She's massive. She's carrying flowers throughout the entire structure. She's heavy. She's so heavy that we've basically surrounded her with a collection of yoyos. 😂??? But those supports aren't a sign that something is wrong. They're simply a response to what she has built. She's created the weight. We're helping her carry it. And that's exactly how I want this stage of the grow to feel. The plant does the work. The grower observes. The grower supports. The grower adjusts when necessary. And otherwise... lets the plant shine. 🌿💡🌸👑 She's becoming one hell of a beautiful big mama. And I don't need her to move faster. I don't need her to move slower. I don't need her to become anything else. She's moving at exactly the rhythm she wants. And right now? That rhythm is perfect. So let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching those flowers. Let's keep the support where she needs it. Let's keep our hands out of the way when they're not needed. And let's let this Queen continue doing what she does best. Grow. Build. Carry. Shine. 👑🌿🌸🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 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 the opportunity to follow this incredible phenotype. 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 room controlled 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 continues to remind me that sometimes the most interesting weeks are the ones where we don't actually do very much. Because "doing nothing" doesn't mean nothing is happening. We're observing. We're watching. We're learning. We're supporting. We're making small adjustments when necessary. And we're allowing the plants to show us what they want. Amnesia Haze Pheno A is showing us: "I'm heavy." 😂👑? Message received. So we'll keep the yoyos ready. We'll keep our eyes open. We'll keep the environment stable. And we'll let this beautiful Queen continue her journey. She's not fast. She's not slow. She's just perfect in her own rhythm. 👑🌿💡🌸🔥 So... let her shine. Let her grow. Let her carry those beautiful flowers. And let's see where this big mama takes us next. Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where sometimes the grower does less, the plants do more, and apparently... the yoyo department never closes. 😂?👑🌿🔥

This ladies have started the 4th week of veg great, however they'll start flower tomorrow on February 15th which is the last day of veg. I applied a little defoliation on both phenos removing the biggest leafs let's see how this ladies develop when the stretch starts! Can't wait! As said my ladies have been flipped into flower on February 15th which means that from now on they'll sleep more hours! I cannot wait to see this haze berry couple stretching to produce beautiful nuggets with that tropical aromas that I love so much! Let's see what happens, stay tuned! 💚💛❤️✌️

22 Enero(F55): Solo queda una semana para terminar el cultivo, en estos últimos días se está usando Fade de Athena Nutrients, para ayudar con la maduración y mejorar sabores y olores. La luz de los LED se bajó a un 50% y la temperatura del agua de riego también se disminuyó. Los olores están demasiado potentes, tuve que poner filtro de carbono. Los últimos 4 días se regará solo con agua de osmosis + Cleanse.

5/27/22: - Today makes 4 weeks since sprouting! 5/30/22: - Transplanted today into an earthbox with 14ft Build a Soil 3.0 Recipe. Have a light watering as well. Added Mykos to the transplant hole. 5/31/22: - did some training to bend branches to get lower nodes some light and to level out canopy before adding trellis net. 6/1/22: - Gave a foliar spray today with Build A Soil Quillaja Wetting agent, Horticultural Aloe and Horticultural Coconut - Top dressed with silica, craft blend, worm castings and kashi blend. All from build a soil 6/2/22: - filled up the earthbox resovoir for the first time today. - increased light to 90% ppfd around 500ish

Week 9!🤩 Light off I had like an illumination 💡 She looks like the Starry Night(Vincent Van Gogh June 1889) ⭐️🌗 Covered in trichomes❄️ I can harvest the super soil now for more « safety » but it’s not my style I prefer to push the plant until the limit🤠 Light at 100% In the light soil max 2 more weeks✂️ In coco she s flyiiiing buds are forming everywhere🤩

So last overdrive tank before I start giving her clear water with Flawless finish.

Začínají nakvétat 😍🍊🍧

The soil was still feeding them strong no nutirents but they were added very soon.

Yo we’d been talking about this project for months… Supposed to start way earlier, but then Fatty became a dad for the 6th time! Then Spike went and dropped his SE4000. And PersonalSmok3s broke his leg. 😂 But hey… we’re finally here! Also gotta wish a happy birthday to my brother from another mother, Fatnastyz!! 🎉🔥

Placed the seed about 2mm under damp soil within 48hrs she was above ground 👍

Great 50/50 hybrid, terp profile is a creamy gas with phunky rancid fruitypine kush tones, fruity coffee tones, Doughy, Candy GMO Dried for 15 days in dark dry tent at 58RH 67F | Dry hand trim | Curing in Grove bag

A small update from yesterday. Looking forward to the next weeks. Hopefully they will frost up a little more. They really love the compost tea!

Week 8 begins, the final feed! Divine storm 1&2 are both looking good, however DS1 appears to be a bit bigger in size and bud development. Both ladies are very frosty, I definitely understand the hype around in house genetics! Thanks for stopping by, tune in next week for the flush 👽🌳🔥

10/08: I decided to go ahead and remove the little one from the grow. I decided to do this because i had originally planned to only grow one plant in here so i had room for my clones from my other grow. And so i stuck to my original plan. This lady is the smallest plant i have ever grown. She is basically just growing 3 large colas. They are each already nearly the size of a soda can and id guess there is still 3-4 weeks left at least. And so i am slightly nervous that they are going to get too big and that mold will ultimately become a problem. Will see how it goes.

Here comes the week 12. West Coast OG looks huge, what i can't say about Californian Snow, in some moment it buds stopped growing and im not sure about the harverst. what do you think should i give it extra week ?

Tbd

Plants have recovered well from the cold snap, Small calcium def still but it isnt getting worse. The buds are large and fairly dense already. Smell is amazing like citrus and melon.

Week 8

Day 33-40 (May 24th-May 31st) (Day 34) I just found a herm branch on the tight blueberry pheno. It looks like a random pollen sack opened right above a lower branch. I removed the sack but I saw a small amount of dust fall onto one of the lower branches. I’m going to leave it to see if it will pollinate that small branch at all. I spent a good 5 minutes looking closely for bananas or claws but couldn’t find anymore. The main bud is clearly unaffected so I will just leave it unless it is visibly seeding itself. Too bad because I’m really excited for this plant. (Day 36) Not a lot has happened since I flushed them. Growth actually looks healthy and I don’t see any deficiencies on anything yet. (Day 37) Both of these badazz cheese phenos are picture perfect and easily hold up against Canadian and California quad grade. I might try to reveg them at the end and take some clones. They have this unique pungent, grassy, sour milk smell that is just wonderful. The density and bud structure is looking great too. This whole plant will probably take 3 minutes to trim if that. (Day 38) Just found a banana on the shitty blueberry pheno. This pheno is trash and I would honestly throw it away if it didn’t mess up the 3 perfect rows. It has almost no frost, no smell, is airy and has bad structure. I’ve actually never seen a plant with such little frost. Even outdoors. (Day 39) I think most of this tent will be done by day 60 but I will probably ride it out until day 70+. I don’t think the blueberries or the jacks will fill out very much either way but taking it too day 70 will ensure maximum production from each plant.

As you can see I had some trouble with pests. It is very hard to find this green worms that eat the leafs. A tip I could give you is to search for them early in the morning or when it gets dark, because they eat at those times. Como pueden ver tuve unos problemas con plagas. Las orugas masticadoras siempre han sido un problema por lo difícil que es encontrarlas. Un tip que podría dar es buscarlas por las mañanas o por las noches, ya que comen a esas horas.
