Week 6 went well. The buds are putting out a second wave of pistils and are starting to fatten up. Jilly is starting to smell more and put out more trichs on sugar leaves. She smells very sweet and fruity so far.

Finally have the gnats under control!!! Using a combination of beneficial bacteria, neem oil, and organic pesticides. They’re still there but only a couple so I will continue use. Skywalker og is still double the size of all the others and drinks double the water so that is crazy idk how to deal with that I might just start watering it in between watering the other ones idk it’s crazy. Also don’t know how long we’re gonna go with this veg I want to do a pound which is ambitious for a second grow with a 300w light in a 2 x 4 but that would be cool. Looking good tho next grow I’m only gonna do 3 strains instead of 4 or even 2 but we’ll see. Went a little too heavy on the nitrogen I think i dialed it back a bit but plants are healthy and strong I think the silica helps a lot.

23.2.25: I watered with approximately 1.5 ltrs per plant. I mix 6.5ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. This time, I only added Ecothrive Biosys to the water because I have just top dressed the soil. Adding anything extra right now would probably be overkill and result in toxicity from too many available nutrients. I defoliated minimally mostly Do-sì-dos, Watermelon, and Pink Mist. Due to the scrog net, it's about all I can reach 😅 I've moved the plants to increase space for Gorilla Cookies 🍪 and Bubble

Still working away to fix the nute deficiency I came into just after new years. Dense buds are still forming and calyx swell is beginning on original internodes. The sweet smell is like a brick wall when opening the tent. Keeping humidity down by opening a port on the side of my tent and adding an extra fan works well. This has been a great learning grow for me. I'm amazed the number of tops this strain has been able to produce. Next time I will be using air pots or something similar.

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

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Weekly update. Sorry it was a late update this week I was out of town (Bizcon2024). Wow have they grown, I'd say doubling in size. I've upped the watering to 1000ml daily, this week I'll do a major defoliation and lollipoping. All in all Happy Growing

Coming up on third base! No issues at all from the recent wetness and really getting some nice purps on the GG4xGSC and the Green Gelato. Ironically nothing yet on the Ayahuasca Purple.

Gelato x GMO is taking off in the 15 gallon pot, showing rapid growth every day. The Blue MOBs seem to have stopped growing vertically in the 5 gallon buckets and are now filling out existing branches while they all reach for the sun. The 15 gallon Blue MOB seems to still be growing in height as well as filling out existing branches. Heavy rain has been persistent with few days of direct sunlight yet plants are still growing. Massachusetts ended up receiving the tail end of a big storm so I have not had to water them the entire week, the soil has stayed damp and kept the plants hydrated

9/9 (Day 84)- Things are wrapping up I believe! Have continued to mainly just monitor and keeping the res topped with just the full tilt. Monday we be going RO water ph to 5.8 until finish. The leaves are starting to change to a yellow and the front and dive have been packing on! Looking forward to the finish and have ordered a rosin press so excited for it all and ready and looking forward to improving and learning from my mistakes this run. 9/11 (Day 86)- Did my final flush this morning and now just running RO water to flush. Just hoping I am not flushing too early. Everything is looking good. Dry tent is set up and ready to roll. I am able to get my area down to around 64. I am actually moving my set up after these girls finish to the room with my dry tent and have a better work area! I’m excited for the next run already! As always any tips or recommendations always appreciated!

I had a lot of fun with this strain and it was grown against 400 growers so let me say PHENO hunting is a true thing. Overall the Bud was a nice dense structure and the smoke on it was smooth and the high nice and even.
