🌿 Week 4 - Amnesia Haze Auto | Different Genetics, Different Timelines Hello everyone! Welcome back to another week of my little 12/12 adventure. If this is your first time visiting this diary, welcome! Grab a coffee, relax and enjoy the journey. This project is a little experiment I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Instead of growing one or two plants under perfect conditions, I decided to fill the room with many different genetics from different breeders and simply let every plant tell her own story. Every diary follows a single phenotype individually so we can really appreciate how unique each plant can be. Even though all these ladies are growing inside exactly the same tent… • same light • same feeding • same temperatures • same humidity • same watering schedule …every genetic expresses itself differently. And this beautiful Amnesia Haze Auto is already proving exactly that. ⸻ 🌱 The 12/12 Experiment One question I receive constantly is: “Why are you growing under 12/12 from seed?” Simple. Because I love learning. Running 12 hours of light from germination allows me to compare genetics under exactly the same flowering schedule while keeping the entire room manageable. Photoperiod varieties immediately enter flowering when mature. Autoflowers don’t depend on the light cycle, but they still develop under these conditions, allowing a fascinating comparison between genetics. This isn’t about chasing maximum yield. It’s about discovering how different plants react when every environmental variable stays the same. ⸻ 🌿 Week 4 — She’s Moving Fast! This week something became very obvious. Amnesia Haze has decided she isn’t waiting for anyone. While some of her roommates are still investing heavily in vegetative growth, this lady has already entered pre-flower and is preparing for the next chapter. That’s one of the things I love most about growing multiple genetics together. You don’t just learn how plants grow… You learn how different plants grow. Some stay compact. Some explode sideways. Some stretch. Some wait. Others, like this Amnesia Haze, simply decide… “Flower time!” And honestly… Watching every plant follow her own internal clock is one of the most rewarding parts of this project. ⸻ 🌿 Structure She’s developing a lovely natural architecture. Instead of becoming extremely bushy, she’s building a more open structure with nice spacing between branches. That should become a real advantage later in flower by allowing better airflow and light penetration. The stem is already thickening nicely and every branch feels strong and healthy. The colour is rich, vibrant green with beautiful fresh growth appearing every day. Exactly what I like seeing at this stage. ⸻ 🌸 Pre-Flower Has Arrived The biggest milestone this week is definitely the appearance of the first pistils. Tiny white hairs are now emerging at the nodes and growing tips, confirming she’s officially entering pre-flower. This doesn’t mean she’s finished stretching. Actually… The opposite. The famous flowering stretch is only beginning. Over the next couple of weeks she’ll likely gain quite a bit of height before focusing all her energy into building flowers. It will be exciting to watch how much she decides to stretch compared to the rest of the room. ⸻ 🌱 Hand Watered With Love Unlike some of my other projects, this plant isn’t connected to an AutoPot system. Everything she receives comes by hand. Every watering. Every nutrient. Every little adjustment. That also gives me the opportunity to inspect her closely every single day, monitor her response, and make tiny corrections whenever needed. Sometimes there’s something very relaxing about slowing down and watering by hand. It’s just me, the plant and a watering can. ⸻ 💧 Feeding This Week This week she received: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L pH was maintained around 6.1 EC around 1.35 She has accepted every feeding beautifully without showing any signs of stress or nutrient excess. The foliage remains healthy, vibrant and full of energy. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The environment has remained stable throughout the week. • 🌡️ Day temperature: 33°C • 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% • ? Substrate temperature: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient solution: 26°C • 🌿 Water consumption: approximately 1.1 L per day • 🌬️ CO₂: around 639 ppm Even with warmer daytime temperatures, she continues showing healthy growth and strong metabolism. ⸻ 🌿 Training I’m keeping the training simple. This project is more about observing natural genetic expression than forcing every plant into the same shape. A little Low Stress Training helps expose additional flowering sites while allowing the plant to continue growing without significant stress. The goal is balance. Guide her. Don’t fight her. Every genetic deserves the chance to show what it naturally wants to become. ⸻ Looking Ahead The next couple of weeks should be incredibly interesting. Now that pre-flower has officially begun, I expect to see: 🌿 More vertical stretch 🌿 Faster branch development 🌿 Additional flowering sites appearing 🌿 The first real stacking of future buds Every day should now bring visible changes. And that’s when the fun really begins. ⸻ Final Thoughts Watching different genetics grow side by side under identical conditions continues to be one of the most educational experiences I’ve ever had as a home grower. Some ladies are still building their framework. Others are becoming little bushes. And this beautiful Amnesia Haze has already decided it’s time to start writing the next chapter. I can’t wait to see where she takes us. ⸻ As always… Thank you to everyone who stops by, leaves a comment, shares advice, asks questions, or simply enjoys following along. A huge thank you to Zamnesia and Plagron for providing the genetics and nutrition that keeps these adventure thriving throughout the journey. To everyone reading… Thank you for being here. Take care of yourselves, take care of your gardens, and I’ll see you all next week. Growers Love and happy growing! 🌿💚
