🌿 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. 😂?👑🌿🔥

The buds were easy to trim, except they were super sticky but that’s always a good thing! I got two phenos: the first one with that garage-like aroma, and the second one, 100% Blue Cheese!

Wow 😲 I was thinking this was going to be a total runt. As if turns out I am starting to think of it as having a lowryder auto. I know I know 🤣 it's not a lowryder. She's actually a Northern light crossed with Big Bud Auto from Seedsman. This little lady was barley 3 weeks old when I noticed her transitioning to flower. I was about to pull the plug and decided otherwise. I mean what could it hurt to grow her out. Anyway she's more than doubled in size and her bud sites are well formed, stacked up and just looking good. Question? Would it be better to turn my 250 true watt down and move the light closer?,or run it full power and set it higher ?

Start rinsing day 71 💧🚿 Light 35 cm day 72 💡 Trichomes pics last day for my girl 🍊🤩😭

13 hours and 33 minutes of daylight when I took these photos and this video on August 27th. I've been slacking this month on uploading, having to play catch-up with this just like everything else in my life. I'm so glad it's going to be September in a couple days. The weather is cooling off thankfully🙏 So, I cover most of the situation in the video, but basically GG (Good Girl) is looking great and her flowers are coming along nicely, whereas PC (Problem Child) is still continuing to be a Problem. Child. First of all, PC is a much heavier feeder than GG. I have to give her almost 2x as much food as I give the other plants for her to have the same color. And since I've been running around all August and haven't had much time to tend to my beauties, I haven't been feeding as much as I could have. The other photoperiods are fine, They're still getting nutes from the soil and hopefully the mycelium from the substrate blocks have moved into the root system and are acting like good roommates and doing their part to support the soil foodweb. But this isn't enough for PC. Her flower development is definitely behind and her color is a brighter green than the other plants. Hopefully I'll have time this month to just put the groceries to her and encourage those flowers to bloom because now I'm worried about the frost that will start coming in early October. Frost and ripe trichomes don't mix very well. My apologies for repeating myself in the video😬

Harvest done 250g

Always been a favorite of mine this strain. It grows like a dream and smokes like a breath of fresh air. The terps are just mouthwatering and the smell intoxicating. I decided to harvest them this past week and hang them up to start the drying process. First time growing the RF3 version but definitely won't be the last. One I'd highly recommend for it's easy growing and beautiful flowers.

Had no that much time for them this week but the ladies don't give up they grow up 🥦🥦🥦🍀

Day 36 - Starting week 6 and she’s starting to blow up. She’s showing a bunch of pistils now so I’m gonna day this is the first week of flower. I went ahead and gave her one last feed of veg nutes and next feeding, I’ll start bloom nutes. My pH pen is recalibrated and checked runoff after the feed and still a little high, 7.1 but nothing like the initial 8.3 it was reading the other day so I’ll lower the pH a bit for next watering and hopefully square everything away. Day 37 - This girl is really taking off with some explosive growth. I didn’t do any LST today and gonna let her go for a bit and see how she starts to develop. She’s gotta get a little more stretching going on and might continue some more. Day 38 - This girl is blowing up and looking great. Going to hold off on anymore LST for awhile so she can get a bit of vertical growth going on and hopefully by the time she’s ready for more, I’ll have one girl in the tent ready for harvest so I’ll have more room to spread her out. She’ll get some water in the next day or two. Day 39 - She’s still exploding with growth right now but not really into full flower mode yet but throwing more pistils each day. Will be giving her some water tomorrow. Day 40 - All is Loki g great and it’s looking like this is going to be a very big girl. She was thirsty today so gave her a full 1 1/4 gallon of plain pH’d water without cal-mag and pH’d to 6.4. I added a second 1000W LED light to the tent for now to give this girl and my other some more light since my bigger two are taking up some space. Once those two are harvested I’ll cut back to just one because my normal 76 degree temps are up to 81 now. Day 41 - Almost the end of week 6 and damn this girl is just blowing up. Will be harvesting my Blue Dream soon so it will open up some soace for her to really go. Next feeding I’ll give her her first feeding of bloom nutes, plribably sometime this weekend.

Well,all i hve to Say is she Still growing well.😏😊😊 Well but there are some lil brown marks on a few leaves so i must hve overfeed her a bit,i'll do my research. ✌️✌️✌️

Sie hat es geschafft Habe die größeren und trockenen Blätter entfernt und sie zum trocknen ins kleine Zelt gehängt. Der Geruch ist nach wie vor unfassbar. Sie schmeckt sehr lecker, leicht fruchtig/cremig, leicht Diesel/Metallisch. Super gute sorte für den Abend, bringt einen schön runter.

First week of 12/12 aka the transition week. Stretch has begun and canopy is filling in nicely. Have been doing a lot of pruning, defoliation and lollipopping to get the small shit cleaned up and solid airflow. Steady as she goes!!

Awesome Strain, but low yield. Will try another time but then i will have a look to change something on the grow to get more yield.

Hey Friends, end of week 13 from seed. This week i noticed colas are slightly getting thicker, but still a slower growth compared to my other plant (#2) I had to install some yoyos because some colas are falling to the side due to its weight Had trouble maintaining a steady humidity level Leaves are beginning to fade, not sure if its normal or because I increased light intensity this week Increased light intensity to 350 - 400 lux x100 Colas for some reason do not look thick enough and so far no amber on the trichomes, might need to wait Another week or two so I could begin flushing. Smell is stronger like green lemon mango, that weird smell it use to have is slowly going away. QUESTIONS So I planned a trip with my family on oct 9th, when booking the trip around 3 weeks ago I estimated that the plant would need another month before harvesting. Will this plant be ready for harvest before oct 9th? When should I begin Flushing ?

Le he hecho una apical en el tercer nudo, le he hecho una defoliación y a una de las ramas le he hecho supercropping

Finally A successful process I can finally harvest… 😭 1 of 6. When I thought an Auto, turns out got myself a traditional 6 month seed to harvest, she got a whole month of flushing, want that smooth smoke, besides presentation it must the smoke must be subtle on the throat. She just fooled me with her flowering, she has truly took her time maturing. Next week I am harvesting, and I will definitely post my experience, and how I dry and cure my harvest.

Looking at the canopy now, it really feels like everything came together at the right time. The two Northern Lights are stacking thick, frosty colas with that classic dense structure, while the Critical is entering her final phase, fading from green into those lime-yellow tones as she pulls the last energy from her leaves. The buds are fully formed and swelling hard. Everywhere you look, it’s just resin, a proper blanket of trichomes covering the flowers and sugar leaves. Under closer inspection, most trichomes are cloudy now, with the first ambers starting to show, especially on the edges. Pistils are turning orange and curling inward, another clear sign that the finish line is close. The differences between the strains really stand out at this point. The Northern Lights plants are darker, more compact, and absolutely dripping in frost, while the Critical leans lighter in color with a more pronounced fade and slightly airier, but still chunky buds. Together, they fill the tent with a balanced, even canopy — every top sitting right in the sweet spot under the light. We’re officially inside the harvest window now. From what I’m seeing, I’d estimate about 7–12 days left. It’s one of those moments where patience really matters. Chopping earlier would keep things a bit more uplifting, but giving them a few more days will push more amber trichomes and deepen the effect. Right now, they’re close — but not quite at their absolute peak. I’m letting them ride just a little longer to fully mature and finish strong. Overall, this run has been alright. The environment stayed dialed in, the plants responded well, and now they’re rewarding that with proper, high-quality flowers. Stats so far: 💧 Watering: Every third day 🌡️ Temp: 26–28°C 💦 Humidity: 65% RH 📈 VPD: ~1.18 kPa 💡 Light: ~700 PPFD

This one is probably finished by the end of next week😎
