💚 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B
Week 6 | Quiet Confidence Begins to Bloom
Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure!
Growing multiple phenotypes side by side is one of my favourite parts of this project because every week nature reminds us that there is no such thing as a "correct" way for a plant to grow.
Pheno B has chosen a completely different rhythm from her sister.
While Pheno A stretches toward the ceiling with long internodes and a very expressive narrow-leaf structure, this lady prefers patience. She's shorter, more compact, and slightly behind in her overall flowering development, yet she's thriving under exactly the same conditions.
Same room.
Same lighting.
Same nutrients.
Same watering.
Same training.
The only thing that's different is the genetics expressing themselves in their own unique way.
And that's exactly why phenotype hunting is so fascinating.
🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Journey
For anyone joining this diary for the first time, welcome!
Every plant in this project has been grown under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light schedule from the day the seeds germinated.
Rather than extending the vegetative stage, this method allows every phenotype to reveal its natural growth habits much earlier, making it easier to compare structure, stretch, flowering speed, and overall efficiency.
Watching sisters grow into completely different plants while sharing the exact same environment is one of the biggest rewards of this experiment.
Pheno B is proving that slower doesn't mean weaker—it simply means different.
🌿 A Compact Personality
Standing at around 69 cm, she's noticeably shorter than her sister, but she's beginning to develop a personality all her own.
Her internodes remain tighter.
Her branching is beautifully balanced.
The canopy is naturally organised, giving every future flower plenty of access to light without requiring much intervention.
The overall impression is of a plant that's taking her time, investing in structure before committing fully to flower production.
The first pistils are now multiplying across every growing tip, and although she's still stretching slightly, it's clear that flowering has become her main priority.
Sometimes genetics prefer to build slowly before rewarding us later.
This may very well be one of those plants.
🌸 Flower Production Is Taking Over
This week marks an important shift.
The explosive vegetative growth is beginning to slow, while clusters of fresh white pistils continue appearing across every branch.
Instead of producing dramatic vertical growth, she's now directing more of her energy toward building the framework that will eventually support her flowers.
Watching this transition happen is always exciting because it's the point where each phenotype begins revealing how it intends to build its harvest.
Every week, her own personality becomes a little clearer.
🍃 Gentle Training, Natural Development
Training continues to be intentionally minimal.
Low Stress Training performed earlier in the grow has already created a balanced structure, so this week only occasional leaf tucking was needed to keep developing flower sites exposed.
Rather than removing healthy leaves, I prefer allowing them to continue acting as efficient solar panels while simply repositioning them whenever necessary.
Healthy leaves mean more energy.
More energy means stronger flowers.
Sometimes the best decision is knowing when to leave the plant alone.
💧 Feeding the Transition Into Bloom
As with the rest of the room, Pheno B is now receiving a flowering-focused feeding program while still supporting the final stages of stretch.
This week's nutrient schedule includes:
• Plagron Terra Bloom
• Plagron Power Buds
• Plagron Sugar Royal
• Plagron Pure Zym
• Plagron Green Sensation
• pH adjustment using pH Plus and Lemon Kick
This week also introduces one of my favourite bloom additives: Green Sensation.
Rather than simply boosting phosphorus and potassium, Green Sensation is designed as a complete flowering enhancer, supporting flower development, nutrient efficiency, resin production, and overall plant vitality during the final weeks of bloom.
I like introducing it gradually as the plants begin committing fully to flowering, allowing them to transition naturally while preparing for the heavier bud-building phase that's still to come.
So far, she's responding beautifully.
🌡️ A Stable Environment
Every phenotype in this room continues sharing the exact same environmental conditions, allowing genetics—not environmental fluctuations—to tell the story.
Current conditions include:
• Day temperature: 29°C
• Night temperature: 25°C
• Relative humidity: 60%
• pH: 6.0
• EC: 1.78 mS/cm
• Root zone temperature: 21°C
• Nutrient solution temperature: 21°C
• CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm
Consistency remains one of the most valuable tools in any grow room.
When the environment stays stable, the plants can dedicate their energy to growing instead of constantly adapting.
📸 This Week's Gallery
This week's photographs perfectly capture the personality that's beginning to emerge.
The full-plant portraits showcase a compact, balanced structure with excellent branch spacing and a strong central leader that's quietly taking command of the canopy.
The close-ups reveal fresh clusters of white pistils forming at nearly every growing tip, signalling that flowering is now well underway.
One detail I particularly enjoy is how organised her architecture feels.
Nothing appears forced.
Every branch has found its place naturally, creating a canopy that's both easy to manage and full of future potential.
She's not trying to compete with her sister.
She's simply becoming herself.
And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so rewarding.
🔮 Looking Ahead
Over the coming weeks I expect Pheno B to continue slowing her vertical growth while shifting more and more energy into flower production.
If her current structure is any indication, she could develop into one of those wonderfully manageable plants that quietly surprises everyone at harvest with dense, beautifully stacked colas.
Every week her confidence grows a little more.
Now it's time to watch those flowers do the same.
💚 Thank You
Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure.
Watching two sisters grow side by side, sharing the exact same environment while expressing completely different personalities, continues to remind me why growing from seed never stops being exciting.
A huge thank you to:
💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, inspire one another, and document every stage of their journeys.
🌱 Zamnesia for providing the outstanding genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible.
💜 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting these ladies from seed to harvest.
💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent light powering every day of this grow.
🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment where each phenotype can express its full genetic potential.
And finally, growers love to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, sharing knowledge, and joining me on this adventure.
Every phenotype has its own story.
Pheno B may be telling hers a little more quietly...
...but she's making sure it's worth listening to. Growers Love 💚🌿
