🌿 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! 💚🌱

Ya les va llegando su hora. Están soportando temperaturas extremas y han aguantado muy bien. Ahora lo que me preocupa es secarlas con estás condiciones de altas temperaturas y humedad baja, a ver cómo me las ingenio..

Day 49 - lookin good..... been bending her, trimmin abit, messin with the water solution..... ph and ppm have been all over the place..... lol she's been transitioning from grow to flower, and once she settles into night mode, the solution and growing should stabilize...... the new fan is cool... tents working properly now, neg pressure, drawing in air behind the floor fan, blown around the bottom, and cpu extractor fan pushing the air out the top of the tent, straight into the filter..... really nice way to run a little tent, low airflow........ keeps the impurities out of the buds..... the stalks have all tuffened up since trimmin, and pretty strong now.... should hold the full weight that's about to occur all over the place...... i've simplified the nutrients, they were gettin alittle confusing, so started doin nuets differently, .... so, just making my own nuet solutions, nothing fancy just base amount of normal elements .... should be a pretty good christmas ...... Day 51 - pics/vids... 👍😎

Greetings once more, Growmies, As we navigate through week 11, our Epic Buzz lineage continues to flourish with resounding success. The cultivation journey for Epic Buzz #1, #2, and #3 is nearing its zenith, with buds expanding around the colas, a sight that signifies their readiness for the approaching harvest. The magnificence of Epic Buzz #1 is undeniable, with its flowers growing increasingly dense and its trichomes glinting like a constellation of stars. This reflects not only the plant's innate potential but also the nurturing environment we've fostered. Epic Buzz #2 and #3 echo this grandeur, exhibiting a shared trait of excellence that pervades our entire crop. Our commitment to environmental precision is evidenced by the optimal PAR meter reading of 619 PPFD, indicative of the careful calibration of light our plants are basking in. The environmental snapshot, showcasing a temperature steady at 25.3°C and humidity at a comfortable 65.8%, speaks to the ideal conditions we've maintained. These are conditions conducive to thriving growth, as reflected in the stability shown in our environmental graphs, which reveal our continued efforts to uphold this controlled haven. With no CO2 management in place, we've leaned on the natural ambient levels to suffice for our plants' needs, while the light dimming at 55% ensures that our plants are receiving the right amount of energy without any risk of light burn. Our IR and UV lighting regimes have been meticulously scheduled, bolstering growth and encouraging resin production, all the while mimicking the nurturing embrace of natural sunlight. The adjustment to feeding intervals, now set to 1 liter per plant every two days, is met with robust health, showcasing the effectiveness of our nutrient regimen. In this critical stage of flowering, our diligent oversight of the environmental factors is evident in the vibrancy and health of Epic Buzz #1, #2, and #3. They stand not only as bearers of a fruitful harvest but as proof of our balanced approach to cultivation, one that honors the plant's natural needs without overcomplicating the process. As the harvest approaches, our anticipation is matched by a sense of accomplishment for the expertise and attention that has been poured into this grow. Stay lifted, Salokin

Hello everyone, Well its getting kinda packed in the greenhouse so all i have for you guys is a little video, See you guys next week... 🤘🤘🤙🤙

I just love opening the tent to this lady each morning! This grow will definitely sit high on my list of favorites! I am still on the transition feed recipe and slowly lowering the Grow Big while increasing the Tiger Bloom. I love to sit and watch the soil move and breath and take notice of all of the tiny creatures within it making my plant so happy and healthy! At this point, I am pulling a leaf or two here and there as they shadow buds or block airflow, but she really has grown a great structure and has a nice spread so not much defol is needed!

After Input from the Community I've Decided on NO Nutrients for a few Days to let Her Recover from Her Suspected Nitrogen Toxicity. If She Recovers like I Hope She'll get One more Feeding of Beastie Bloomz only before a Final Flush as I Suspect only a Few Weeks before She's ready to Harvest.

She suffered with under watering practices and heat stress no doubt but seems to be stabilising with no further deterioration. Double Kush Cake Feminized is come to the end of her growth spurt reaching 60cm her gaps aren’t filled and won’t likely be filled with due to the stress she was under! From now until the end the lady will be fed sparingly every five days with 1500ml of nutrients and npk

Day 90 since seed touched soil. Girl is on final stretch, took all nutes out last watering. Today gave 6.3 phed water for last time, maybe if few other girls will show signs of bulking, ill do one more watering. Last week installed dehumidifier, so all environment is way better. Most mature girl from all, youngest, but fastest to bulk up. Cant wait to take her out from scrog and see real beauty of her. Happy Growing !!!

I decided to have them just being watered rather then having any nutes this week. Some plants suffered a little but I got on top of it when I got home. #2 Tropicana Cookies FF has also done OK but could have done with some nutes during the week.

So this is the first week when I opened my grow box I noticed the sweet smell of skunky artificial grape stank...lol... not super strong but definitely there. Still waiting for the colas to really pack on the weight. Gave a little top dressing of some super soil and watered twice this week. The hairs have been growing like crazy this week on the buds. Grow has been a lot of fun so far mainly because of how photogenic these ladies are!!!

.

Transplanted in the afternoon of 10/23 because they were rooting out of the pucks. Got some humidity dome cups coming tomorrow and another inline fan to handle intake to try to dial in things a bit more. Growing well as the week ends, #1 is the big guy so far, growing really well. Sprayed with Neem Oil on 10/24 Fed Light Fox Farms Blend on 10/25 Treated with NemAttack on 10/26

I topped and trained them two more times. I also lolipopped them, that is cut the bottom 2 sets of leaves and branches.

Week three of flower is off to an amazing start! At day 22, the ladies are looking incredibly healthy. They're praying like crazy, reaching for the light, and stacking nodes like it's their job. The buds are starting to plump up, and the trichome production is getting intense. I'm so excited to see how they develop over the next few weeks!

Very very short plant. She flowers very quick on you. Second time running this specific strain and she always does something different.

Strawberry banana is coming along great!! Buds are really getting fat and frosty. They feel super hard to the squeeze! Smell is amazing...its a fruity gassy smell. Pistols are really starting to turn. @420fastbuds delivers again!!

Hi, topman! In my opinion, this would be an important performance! The roots of the second plant replace the first plant in the root ecosystem! I have not seen such experiments! And I think this method will be used next time by other growers! For comparison, there are ordinary processes! Follow the process and be one of the first to witness the AUTO stimulations Revolution! Now the left one is 15 days old, and the right one is 31 days old from moving under the light!
