🌱 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.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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.
