Week 5 and here comes the fun part: let flower begin. These girls are hungrier than ever, like they'd grow forever if I let them. For a lot of you this might be "normal," but as a newbie I'm honestly blown away. I've never had plants this healthy and aggressive since I started growing. As expected, the tent has turned into a jungle. The only one still a bit "bullied" is the Runtz, she's been the shy one since day one, but she's catching up and finally found her rhythm. I'm slowly pushing VPD up and trying to sit around 1.1-1.2 kPa, and I added another fan under the canopy to keep airflow moving through this thick forest. Leaves keep expanding, calyxes are swelling, internodes are stacking, and they're clearly competing for light. First time in coco and I'll say it: this changed the way I look at growing. I've also been defoliating gradually to open up sites for the upcoming flowers. In one session I probably removed up to 15 leaves per plant, and they didn't even flinch. Still turgid, still pushing. I can't wait to see how this flowering run develops. Only downside is the limited space, I wasn't ready for this level of growth, especially after my past soil struggles. Good luck to everyone, and if you've got any tips for managing a fast-growing coco jungle in early flower, drop them below. Let's finish this run strong.

Started week 1 and we placed these girls in a 7 liter pot, they are now growing with 1x Marshydro TS1000 but im adding another TS1000 in 2 weeks when they start flowering From the 5 plants germinated only 3 survived, strange as all other 25 plants (other strains from the same bank) germinated correctly, maybe its my fault or maybe the seeds were just weak but i never like to judge the seed bank for something which is maybe my own fault so its ok, these things can happen sometimes 😢

🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 8 | The Queen Gets Her Spotlight 👑💚 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Some plants quietly do their thing. Some plants surprise you. And then there are phenotypes that seem to walk into the room and say: “You're going to notice me.” Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A has been doing exactly that. Last week, I called her The Queen of the Canopy. This week? I think she's earned the spotlight. Standing at an impressive 175 cm, she continues to be one of the giants of this room. She's still stretching, still producing new flowers, and still carrying that incredible lush green appearance that has made her such an interesting phenotype to follow. And this week we made one small intervention. Nothing dramatic. Nothing aggressive. Just enough defoliation to give this beautiful lady a little more room to breathe. And honestly... She looks fantastic. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is all about discovering how different genetics and phenotypes express themselves when grown side by side under the same conditions. Twelve plants. The same room. The same environment. The same lighting strategy. The same nutrition. The same irrigation. The same daily care. And from the very beginning, these plants have been grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. The idea is simple: Remove as many variables as possible... …and then let genetics tell the story. And believe me, they always do. Some plants stay compact. Some stretch dramatically. Some flower early. Some develop unusual leaf structures. Some become incredibly branchy. And some, like this Amnesia Haze Pheno A, simply decide that 175 cm isn't tall enough yet. 😂🌱 👑 The Queen of the Canopy There is no question anymore. This phenotype is a giant. At 175 cm, Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A continues to dominate the vertical space of the room. But what I love most isn't simply her height. It's the combination of height, structure and vitality. She's not a tall, weak plant desperately reaching for the light. She's tall and strong. Her branches have developed beautifully, her stems have thickened, and she's carrying flowering sites all along her architecture. The plant has that wonderful combination of elegance and strength. And then there's the colour. That deep, healthy green. An incredible amount of foliage. A genuinely lush plant. Looking at her now, it's easy to understand why she needed a little bit of extra space. 🍃 A Little Defoliation — Nothing Extreme This was one of the phenotypes that received some light defoliation this week. And I want to make something very clear: This was not a heavy strip. I wasn't trying to transform the plant into a skeleton. Quite the opposite. She simply had enough foliage that some areas were becoming crowded, so I selectively removed a few leaves where they were creating unnecessary overlap and limiting airflow or access to developing flowers. The objective was simple: Create space without sacrificing the plant's ability to photosynthesize. Healthy fan leaves are incredibly valuable. They're part of the plant's energy-producing system, so I prefer to keep as much healthy foliage as possible when the plant doesn't need intervention. In this case, however, a small amount of selective defoliation made sense. And looking at her now... I think she agrees. 😎 The canopy still looks incredibly lush. The plant hasn't lost her personality. If anything, the flowers are now easier to appreciate. 🌸 Flowers Everywhere And this is where things become really exciting. The flower development is looking beautiful. There are developing flowers distributed throughout the plant, with fresh pistils continuing to emerge and the calyxes gradually building their structure. The flowers are still in that wonderful stage where you can almost watch them changing every few days. More pistils. More calyxes. More resin. More structure. More density. The photographs this week really capture that progression. She's no longer simply a tall plant with flowering sites. She's becoming a flowering machine. And with so many branches carrying flowers from top to bottom, I'm very curious to see how much these sites will swell during the coming weeks. 🌿 Her Quirky Personality Remains One thing I absolutely love about phenotype hunting is that perfection isn't the goal. Individuality is. And this girl certainly has some. Some leaves continue to twist. Others curl in unusual ways. There are leaves that seem to have decided they don't particularly care about following the textbook. 😂 But the plant itself remains vigorous, healthy and productive. That distinction is important. A plant doesn't have to look perfectly symmetrical to be performing beautifully. Sometimes those little quirks are exactly what make a phenotype memorable. And after eight weeks of watching her develop... I can confidently say that Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A has plenty of personality. 💚 An Outstanding Lush Green One of the first things that hits me when looking at this week's photographs is the sheer amount of green. She's lush. She's vigorous. She's full of life. Even after the selective defoliation, there is still an enormous amount of healthy foliage covering the plant. And that's exactly what I want to see at this stage. The leaves are actively supporting the developing flowers while the plant continues transitioning from structural growth toward flower production. The balance between foliage and flowers is becoming particularly interesting now. We're getting enough light penetration to reach deeper areas, while the remaining leaves continue powering the plant. It's a beautiful balance. 💡 Light From Above — And Below The introduction of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues to make this run particularly interesting. The Future of Grow Black Series LED provides the primary overhead illumination, while the under-canopy lighting gives us another way of distributing usable light through the lower portions of the plant. And with a plant this tall and this heavily branched, that becomes especially interesting. There is a huge difference between the top of this plant and the lower flowering sites. Rather than expecting every flower to receive the same intensity naturally, we're experimenting with additional light distribution. The coming weeks should tell us much more about how those lower flowers respond. And that's one of the things I love about the 8×8 Adventure. We're not just growing plants. We're observing them. 💧 Feeding the Queen She's certainly not behaving like a plant with a small appetite. The current feeding continues with the Plagron flowering program. Current feeding: 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Supporting the nutritional demands of active flowering and continued development. 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L Supporting flower development during this important stage of the cycle. 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Part of the flowering strategy as we continue supporting plant metabolism and aromatic development. ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Supporting flower development, quality and resin production as the plant progresses through bloom. 💧 Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Used for pH adjustment. The current logged solution is sitting around 2 mS/cm, with the nutrient solution at approximately 21°C. The goal remains exactly the same: Don't force her. Give her the environment, nutrition, light and root-zone conditions she needs... …and let the genetics decide what comes next. 🌡️ Stable Conditions The environment continues to remain very consistent. Current conditions: 🌸 Flower Week: 8 📏 Height: 175 cm 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day Temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 Solution: ~2 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution Temperature: 21°C 🌱 Substrate Temperature: 21°C 🌿 Pot Size: 15 L 💦 Watering: 1.3 L per plant / 24h 🫧 CO₂: 636 ppm Consistency continues to be one of the biggest advantages of this project. The plants aren't constantly adapting to dramatic changes. They're allowed to focus on what they do best. Grow. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs might be some of my favourites of this phenotype so far. The close-ups show the incredible structure of the flowers and the abundance of fresh pistils. The wider photographs show just how much this girl has developed. And then there are those leaves... The ones that refuse to behave normally. The ones that twist. The ones that curl. The ones that remind you: This is a phenotype. Not a machine. Not a clone of a picture from a catalogue. A living individual expressing its own genetics. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. 🔮 Looking Ahead At Week 8, the big question now becomes: How much more can she build? She's already enormous. She's already heavily branched. She's already carrying flowers throughout the plant. And now we're entering the stage where flower development should become increasingly obvious. I'm expecting the coming weeks to bring: 🌸 More calyx development 🌿 Increasing flower density ✨ Continued resin production 💚 Further maturation of the canopy 🌱 Increasing flower bulk across the branches I'm particularly interested in watching the lower flowering sites. With the additional under-canopy lighting and the small amount of selective defoliation we've performed, we now have a very interesting opportunity to observe how evenly this plant develops from top to bottom. And if her current trajectory continues... Big Mama may have another surprise waiting for us. 👑 Give Her the Spotlight After eight weeks together, I think it's fair to say that Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A has earned her place among the personalities of the 8×8 Adventure. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's quirky. She's incredibly leafy. She's beautifully structured. And she's producing some seriously promising flowers. We didn't need to dramatically change her. We didn't need to force her into a particular shape. A little space. A little guidance. A little light. And plenty of patience. That's all she needed. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is simply recognize what the plant is already trying to become. And this girl? She's becoming something special. So this week, I'm not calling her just the Queen of the Canopy. I'm giving her the spotlight. Because she truly deserves it. 👑💚 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to comment, ask questions, share experiences and follow these plants week after week. And, as always, a massive thank you to the people helping make this project possible: 🌱 Zamnesia — for the genetics behind this remarkable Amnesia Haze Auto phenotype. 💜 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting the plants throughout this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the powerful lighting driving this grow. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain the stable environment these phenotypes are growing in. ✨ Lumiflora — for bringing under-canopy lighting into the experiment and allowing us to explore another dimension of light distribution. 💚 GrowDiaries — for giving growers a place to document, learn, share and inspire one another. And finally... Thank you to you for being here. Every phenotype has a story. Every week adds another chapter. And Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A? She's certainly writing a good one. The Queen of the Canopy has arrived under the spotlight. 👑🌿 Growers Love! 💚🌱

04/23/2022 I think lemon OG is done Give her a few days more, Biscotti Skunk, grape skunk about 2 -3 weeks out, the Biscotti Skunk has very strong camphor mothballs smell. Not quite sure what to think of her hope buds fill out well. Grape Skunk is doing a bit better but lemon og has performed best in my specific micro climate, others have more flowering to. If I'm going 63 days in flower it might as well be a Sativa variety.

Wedding cheesecake FF by Fast Buds Germination, days: 3 Vega (18/6), days: 35 Flowering (12/12), days: 64 Total, days: 101 Ec 2.5 (Athena bloom, Fade, Cleanse, Balance) Ph 6.1 Red 100% Blue 25% UV 20% DLI ~32 T. Day: ~25C T. Night: ~21.5C Humidity: ~57% T.leaf: 24.5C Week progress. Two slow plants are still lagging behind, the video shows what a variety of phenotypes, it is very difficult to grow. I plan to harvest in a week, afraid that if I'll do not cut then buds will start to turn yellow. I probably won't keep the two lagging plants longer because the box is needed for drying. The smell is similar to sweet strawberries.

Steadily growing, the leaves are so big and almost ruffled compared to what I'm used to!

We're close to harvest, the smell is amazing! The buds are covered in trichomes. The leaves around are resinous too, making for a nice ice extraction. I'm thinking about a seed partnership with Royal Queen Seeds; do you think they would grant me that honor?

The ladies light schedule was changed to 12/12 on Oct.30!❤️ The girls were doing great about 1 week after their big defoliation and SCROG being put in, I decided to flip to flower. I had been tucking and bending and had achieved about 80-90% canopy coverage, the last bit should fill in this week as they begin to stretch. During the 1st week of flower transition, I continued to tuck and bend where I could, trying to maintain an even canopy of tops, as well as fill in as many of the squares, as evenly as I can. It becomes a morning and night routine, I check on my humidifier, say good morning, and tuck away for about 5 minutes or so, it doesn’t take much at this point. Once the first week of stretch is through, I stop tucking branches and allow the tops to continue to grow upwards. I find that by using a SCROG method, there isn’t really a whole lot to do…I don’t defoliate until week 3, so it’s just feeding every 3-4 days and filling my humidifier! When I water is when I like to get under the canopy and check the stems and leaves for anything that shouldn’t be… and typically once a week after watering I’ll wipe down the tent and sanitize any surface I can. There is no reason to get lazy, that’s how you get Pests, Mold, and PM. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️
