🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 9 | The Queen Is Getting Heavy 👑💚
Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure!
Well...
Our Queen has reached another stage.
She's still rising.
She's still beautiful.
She's still stretching her presence across the room.
But now there's a new problem.
She's getting heavy.
Very heavy. 😂👑
At this point, I'm not really trying to tell Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A where to grow.
I'm mostly trying to help her hold herself up.
And honestly?
That's a pretty good problem to have.
👑 The Queen Keeps Rising
Last week, she was already sitting at an impressive 175 cm.
And even though she was already one of the tallest plants in the room, she's continuing to carry herself like she has somewhere else to go.
But the most interesting thing now isn't simply her height.
It's the amount of flower she's carrying along that structure.
This girl is becoming a heavy mama.
Her branches are loaded.
The flower sites are developing beautifully.
And the weight is beginning to show.
I've been supporting her wherever I can, using yo-yos from above and sticks placed into the substrate to give individual branches some extra support.
Because apparently...
175 cm wasn't enough.
Now she wants to become heavy too. 😂
🌱 Sometimes You Don't Train the Plant — You Support It
There's a difference between trying to shape a plant and simply helping it carry the structure it has already created.
At this stage, I'm not trying to force her into another shape.
She's already told me what she wants to be.
Tall.
Wide.
Heavy.
Flower-loaded.
So my job is simply to support her.
Some branches want to fall.
Some are carrying so much weight that they need a little assistance.
And every time I think I've supported everything...
another one decides:
"Actually, I'm going this way." 😂
She's becoming one of those plants where the grower spends less time asking:
"Where should I put this branch?"
and more time asking:
"Okay... how do I stop this branch from falling over?"
That's the Queen.
🌸 The Flowers Are Getting Serious
And underneath all that support work is the reason we're here.
The flowers.
They're developing beautifully.
The individual sites are becoming more substantial, the calyxes are becoming increasingly visible, and the plant is continuing to build on the flowering structure we've been watching develop week after week.
The difference from the earlier flowering stages is becoming more obvious now.
We're moving beyond simply watching flowers appear.
We're watching them develop weight and definition.
And that's where things get exciting.
Because when you look at a plant this large and then start noticing how much flower is distributed across the branches...
you begin to understand why she's becoming so difficult to keep upright.
She's carrying her own success. 😂💚
✂️ A Little More Breathing Room
We did give her another small amount of attention with the scissors.
Nothing aggressive.
Just a few leaves removed where they were creating unnecessary crowding.
The objective remains the same:
Open space without taking away what the plant still needs.
She's still beautifully lush.
She's still carrying plenty of healthy foliage.
And I like that balance.
There's enough leaf mass to keep the plant working hard, while selected areas have been opened enough to improve visibility and breathing room around the developing flowers.
I don't want to strip a plant simply because we're deeper into flowering.
I want to respond to what the plant is actually showing me.
And right now, what she's showing me is:
"I'm growing. I'm flowering. And I'm getting heavy."
Fair enough, Queen. 👑
💚 Still Beautifully Lush
One of the things that continues to impress me about this phenotype is the amount of healthy green she maintains.
She's tall.
She's heavily branched.
She's carrying flowers everywhere.
She's been selectively defoliated.
And yet she still has that beautiful, lush appearance that has been part of her personality from the beginning.
There is something very satisfying about looking at her structure now.
The main framework is established.
The branches are supporting their flowers.
The canopy has opened slightly.
And the plant has this wonderful combination of height, density and strength.
She's not just tall anymore.
She's becoming substantial.
💡 Light From Above & Below
The lighting ecosystem continues doing its job throughout the room.
The Future of Grow LED Black Series provides the primary overhead lighting, while the additional under-canopy lighting continues giving the lower portions of these tall plants another source of illumination.
And with a phenotype like this, that becomes particularly interesting.
She's got flowers distributed from high up in the canopy down through the lower structure.
Her height creates a huge vertical range.
So I'm especially interested in watching how consistently those different levels continue developing.
The Queen may be tall...
but she's not leaving the lower floor behind. 🌱💡
💧 Feeding the Heavy Mama
The overall flowering nutrition strategy remains consistent with the room.
This week's program continues with:
🌸 Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L
🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L
✨ Green Sensation – 1 ml/L
🍯 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L
⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH adjustment products – as required
The nutrient solution remains around 2.0 mS/cm, with pH approximately 6.0.
No special recipe for the Queen.
No secret sauce.
She's receiving the same overall strategy as the rest of the room.
And she's responding by becoming a giant, flower-carrying problem child. 😂👑
I wouldn't have it any other way.
🌡️ The Environment
The current recorded conditions remain:
🌸 Flower Week: 9
📏 Height: 175 cm
💡 Light schedule: 12/12
🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C
🌙 Night temperature: 25°C
💧 Relative humidity: 60%
⚗️ pH: 6.0
⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm
💦 Solution temperature: 25°C
🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C
🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm
? Pot size: 15 L
💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h
The room continues to remain remarkably consistent.
And once again, that's what makes the differences between these plants so interesting.
Same ecosystem.
Different genetics.
Different personalities.
Different structures.
Different stories.
📸 The Camera Keeps Finding Something New
The photographs continue to show just how much this girl has developed.
From the wider views, you immediately see the scale.
She's enormous compared with many of the other phenotypes.
Then you get closer.
And the story changes.
You see the flowers.
The pistils.
The developing calyxes.
The increasingly complex structure.
The leaves surrounding everything.
And then you look at the branches and realize:
She's heavy.
The supports aren't there because we're trying to make her pretty.
They're there because the plant has simply produced enough structure and weight that some of those branches need a little help.
And honestly...
I think that's beautiful.
🔮 What's Coming Next?
This is where I become very curious.
We've watched her stretch.
We've watched her flower.
We've watched her develop.
We've opened her canopy slightly.
And now we're watching the plant transition into something much heavier.
The coming weeks should tell us a lot about how much those flowers continue to develop and how much more weight these branches are going to carry.
Which means my job may become increasingly simple:
Check the flowers.
Check the supports.
Check the branches.
Add another yo-yo.
Move another stick.
And wonder how this girl keeps finding ways to become heavier. 😂
👑 The Queen Deserves the Spotlight
There are plenty of beautiful plants in this room.
But Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A has earned a very particular place in this adventure.
She's the Queen of the Canopy.
She's one of the tallest.
She's incredibly vigorous.
She's beautifully lush.
She's quirky.
She's heavily branched.
She's producing flowers from top to bottom.
And now...
she's getting heavy.
So we're helping her.
Not changing her.
Not forcing her.
Not trying to make her something else.
Just giving her the support she needs to carry what she's built.
A few leaves removed here.
A yo-yo there.
A stick in the substrate.
And plenty of admiration.
Because sometimes cultivation isn't about making the plant grow the way you want.
Sometimes it's simply about saying:
"Okay, girl. You've built this. I'll help you hold it." 👑💚
And that's exactly where we are with this Queen.
💚 Thank You
Another week.
Another chapter.
Another reminder that every phenotype has its own personality.
The 8×8 Adventure continues to fascinate me because twelve plants can share the same room, the same environment, the same nutrition and the same lighting philosophy...
and still become twelve completely different characters.
Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A chose to become the giant.
Then she decided to become the heavy giant. 😂👑
And I absolutely love watching it happen.
A huge thank you to:
💚 GrowDiaries — for giving growers a place to document, share, learn and inspire.
🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the genetics behind this remarkable Amnesia Haze Auto phenotype.
💜 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting this adventure.
💡 Future of Grow LED — for the lighting powering the room.
🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes.
✨ Lumiflora — for bringing additional light into the lower canopy and giving us another fascinating variable to observe.
And thank you to everyone following along, commenting, sharing knowledge and enjoying this adventure with me.
The Queen keeps rising.
The Queen keeps flowering.
The Queen keeps getting heavier.
And apparently...
the Queen is going to need more yo-yos. 😂👑💚
Let's keep watching.
Let's keep documenting.
And let's keep giving this beautiful girl the spotlight she has earned.
Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱👑💚
