🌱 Tag 88 | 🌸 Blütetag 44 Drei Pflanzen, drei Persönlichkeiten Während Strawberry AK und Chicken & Waffles zunehmend kompakte Blütenstrukturen ausbilden, bleibt die Fruit Bomb Punch ihrem sativalastigen Erscheinungsbild treu. Ihre Colas wachsen eher länglich und speerförmig heran und wirken deutlich unruhiger aufgebaut als die der beiden Konkurrentinnen. Die Fruit Bomb Punch ist sozusagen der Struwwelpeter im Feld und zeigt am deutlichsten, dass sie ordentlich frühstückt. Als größte Verbraucherin im Grow hinterlassen die ständig wechselnden Bedingungen bei ihr auch die sichtbarsten Spuren. Trotzdem arbeitet sie unbeirrt weiter an ihren XXL-Buds und legt Woche für Woche an Blütenmasse zu. Die Strawberry AK bleibt der ruhige Vermittler zwischen den Extremen und zieht ihr Programm ohne großes Drama durch. Sie entwickelt ihre Blüten kontinuierlich weiter und hält sich dabei angenehm aus jeder Diskussion heraus. Die Chicken & Waffles hingegen steht weiterhin tiefgrün im Zelt und wirkt, als würde sie sich über das ganze Klima-Chaos der letzten Woche eher amüsieren. Frech grinst sie in die Kamera, als hätte sie von all den Schwankungen überhaupt nichts mitbekommen. Während die anderen beiden hier und da kleine Spuren der wechselnden Bedingungen zeigen, macht sie einfach stoisch ihr Ding und sieht dabei aus, als wäre alles exakt nach Plan gelaufen. 😄?🌱 Auch beim Klima gibt es Neuigkeiten: Der lange erwartete Luftentfeuchter ist endlich angekommen und wurde direkt ins Setup integriert. Nach den feuchten Wochen zuletzt war es höchste Zeit für Verstärkung. Ob er am Ende der erhoffte Gamechanger wird, muss sich allerdings erst noch zeigen. Für den Moment heißt es beobachten, Daten sammeln und schauen, was der neue Mitspieler im Team tatsächlich leisten kann. Auch wenn die Bedingungen zuletzt nicht immer ideal waren, stehen die drei Damen insgesamt besser da, als man es nach einer Woche Wetter-Achterbahn erwarten würde. Die Buds stacken weiter, die Harzproduktion nimmt sichtbar zu und beim Öffnen des Zelts wird man inzwischen von einer ordentlichen Terpen-Wand begrüßt. 🍓💥?🌱 Day 88 | 🌸 Flower Day 44 Three Plants, Three Personalities While Strawberry AK and Chicken & Waffles continue to develop increasingly compact flower structures, Fruit Bomb Punch remains true to her more sativa-leaning appearance. Her colas are growing longer and more spear-shaped, appearing noticeably less uniform than those of her two competitors. Fruit Bomb Punch is somewhat the wild child of the field and makes it most obvious that she enjoys a hearty breakfast. As the hungriest plant in the grow, she also carries the most visible marks of the constantly changing conditions. Nevertheless, she keeps pushing forward, working relentlessly on her XXL buds and adding more flower mass week after week. Strawberry AK remains the calm mediator between the extremes. She quietly goes about her business, steadily developing her flowers without creating much drama along the way. Chicken & Waffles, on the other hand, is still standing deep green in the tent and looks as if she's rather amused by all the climate chaos of the past week. She keeps grinning cheekily at the camera as though she hasn't noticed any of the fluctuations at all. While the other two occasionally show small signs of the changing conditions, she simply carries on as if everything is going exactly according to plan. 😄?🌱 There is also some news on the environmental front: the long-awaited dehumidifier has finally arrived and has been integrated into the setup. After the persistently humid weeks, reinforcements were long overdue. Whether it will turn out to be the game changer I'm hoping for remains to be seen. For now, it's time to observe, collect data and see what the newest member of the team can actually bring to the table. Even though conditions haven't always been ideal lately, all three ladies are looking better than one might expect after a week of weather-related ups and downs. The buds keep stacking, resin production is visibly increasing, and opening the tent now comes with a proper wall of terpenes. 🍓💥?🌱

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-21 The 2 sisters are doing great, Nr2 is a bit after Nr1 . Some new pics. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-23. Transplanted from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. 4 new pics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics with measurements and a movie. Everything is looking great right now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31. New video of the girls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-01. New pics and videos. Gave each of the girls with 2 ml Alg-A-Mic, 4ml Bio-Grow, 4ml Bio-Heaven and 10 ml Formulex mixed in 2 liters of water. I hope they like it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-02. New pics and the girls liked the water and nutrients yesterday. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-03. Video of the girls this morning.

KL 08.00. The girls woke up after their beauty sleep, the leaves are always a bit down after 6 h of darkness, but they will stretch now when the HPS lamp starts. Everything looks good and I keep trying to tuck the leaves so they get the maximum amount of light where needed. Added pics and video. KL 23.30. Did some LST and leaftucking. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-07. This is day 21 from sprouting. I have never tested PH in my grows, when growing organic in soil iv learned that it adapt PH by it self. But im curious by nature so i had to test. Kl 10.00 Tested PH in the soil, it was 6.9 and tested my tap water and it was 6.8. Added video/pics of the girls, its 10 H after defoliation, LST and leaftucking. I think its looking good. Kl 22.30.

Diese Woche war ein Berg ab und Berg auf! Nachdem die Ladies nach dem entlauben ohne Befeuchter stellenweise auf eine RLF von unter 30 % gefallen sind habe ich den Befeuchter wieder im Zelt installiert! Nun sind es in Tag und Nachtphase 40-45 % also perfekt. Am Tag 41 die Leistung der HID Lampe auf 600 Watt erhöht. In dieser Woche die Pflanzen mit einem pH von 5,8 und ec von 1,1 gespült. Die Temperatur ist konstant gut. Die Pflanzen wurden ebenfalls zum denke ich letzten Mal stark entlaubt um Licht an die Buds zu lassen. Von der Größe der buds stehen sie der x haze etwas nach,, Ich bin aber zufrieden. Es fängt an gut zu riechen 😁 bis nächste Woche ✌️🏾

🌿 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A The Queen Is So Heavy… The Yoyo Department Has Gone Completely Insane 👑🔥🌸😂 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And... As suspected. As expected. As predicted. Guess what? SHE'S STILL HEAVY. 😂😂😂 Actually... "Heavy" doesn't really seem to cover it anymore. Our beautiful Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A is reaching the point where the plant appears to have completely forgotten that gravity exists... and gravity is doing everything it can to remind her. 😂🌿🌸⚖️ Thank God for the yoyos. Seriously. THANK GOD FOR THE YOYOS. Because the number of supports we're using on this girl has officially entered ridiculous territory. 😂😂😂👑 I look at her and think: "How many yoyos does one plant actually need?" And then I look at another branch... "Apparently one more." 😂 Then another... "Okay, two more." And another... "Where the hell did I put the next one?" 😂😂😂 This girl is not little. She is absolutely NOT little. She's big. She's dense. She's compact. She's heavy. And she's carrying an impressive amount of flower throughout her entire structure. So this week... we're giving the Queen exactly what she deserves: The spotlight. 👑🌿🌸🔥 ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 13 – THE QUEEN IS STILL HEAVY There was never really much doubt about what this week was going to look like. She's still heavy. And she's still asking for support. 😂👑 If anything, the weight seems even more obvious now. The branches are loaded. The flowers are dense. The plant is compact but absolutely packed with developing flower structures. And everywhere I look... another branch seems to be leaning under the weight of what she's built. This isn't a tall, airy plant carrying a few long flowers. This girl is doing something completely different. She's building compact, dense structures. And lots of them. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 That's why the support situation has become so ridiculous. The plant is simply carrying too much weight to pretend gravity isn't part of the equation. 😂⚖️ So yes... the yoyos remain. And yes... there are a LOT of them. ──────────────────────── 😂 THE YOYO DEPARTMENT HAS LOST CONTROL At this point, I think we need to stop calling them supports. They're becoming part of the plant. 😂👑🌿 Seriously. There are yoyos everywhere. One branch? Yoyo. Another branch? Yoyo. That one moving slightly? Yoyo. That one looking like it's thinking about moving? Probably another yoyo. 😂😂😂 I'm starting to think this plant has more support equipment than some entire gardens. But you know what? I'm completely okay with it. Because those supports are there for a reason. She's heavy. Very heavy. And the fact that she needs this many supports tells us something pretty damn obvious: She's carrying a serious amount of flower. The yoyos aren't the story. The flowers are the reason for the yoyos. And that's a story I don't mind telling. 👑🌸😂 ──────────────────────── 🌸 DENSE, COMPACT AND HEAVY This is probably the best way I can describe her right now. Dense. Compact. Heavy. She's not producing those extremely long, stretched-out flowers that some of the other girls are showing us. Her style is different. She's building compact structures. Tight. Dense. Substantial. And she's doing it throughout the plant. That's what makes her so interesting. You don't look at one huge cola and say: "Wow, that's the plant." You look across the entire structure and realize: "Wait a second..." 😂 They're ALL carrying weight. Everywhere. That's why the support network has become so extensive. She's not heavy because of one single flower. She's heavy because she's built a whole plant full of them. 🌿🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 And honestly? That's fucking beautiful. ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE'S NOT LITTLE – NOT EVEN CLOSE I called her "little" last week. 😂 I'm officially withdrawing that statement. 😂😂😂 She's not little. She might be compact. She might have dense architecture. She might not stretch out into enormous, long branches like some other plants. But little? No. Absolutely not. She's a big mama. Just a compact big mama. 😂👑🌿 And I actually love that about her. Because size isn't always about height. A plant can occupy less vertical space and still carry an enormous amount of flower. And that's exactly what she's showing us. She's compact... but she's packed. And apparently... packed equals heavy. Very heavy. 😂🌸⚖️ ──────────────────────── 💎 DENSITY IS BECOMING HER SIGNATURE The more I look at this girl, the more I notice the same thing. Density. It's becoming part of her identity. The flowers look substantial. The structures look compact. The branches are carrying serious weight. And the whole plant has that feeling of: "There's a lot of material here." 😂🌿🌸 That's different from a plant that looks enormous simply because it has stretched everywhere. This girl doesn't need to stretch forever. She seems much more interested in filling what she already has. And that's a beautiful thing to watch. The structure is there. The flowers are there. The density is there. And now gravity is sending us the invoice. 😂⚖️ Luckily... the yoyo department is open 24/7. ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE PLANT BUILT THIS – WE'RE JUST HELPING HER CARRY IT This is probably the most important part of this week's report. We didn't create this weight. She did. We didn't create these flowers. She did. We didn't make the branches heavy. She did. Our job is simply to support what she has built. That's it. And I really like that philosophy. The grower doesn't always need to be the one doing something. Sometimes the plant does all the work... and the grower simply makes sure the structure can safely carry the result. So when I add another yoyo... I'm not changing the plant. I'm helping the plant. 😂🌿👑 And there's a big difference. ──────────────────────── 📸 LOOK AT THIS GIRL The photographs really tell the story this week. You can see the overall structure. You can see the density. You can see the flower distribution. You can see the support system. And you can see exactly why we're using so many yoyos. 😂📸 Wide shot: "She's big." Closer shot: "She's loaded." Even closer: "Okay... those are seriously dense flowers." 😂🌸💎 And then you notice the support lines running through the structure and realize: "Ahhh... that's why." The camera gives us another way of understanding the plant. Not just the beauty... but the architecture. Not just the flowers... but the weight those flowers create. And I absolutely love documenting that. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM – SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT GIRL The room hasn't suddenly changed specifically for her. She's still living inside the same 8×8 environment. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the setup. We're still controlling the output rather than simply running everything at maximum. Approximately: 🔌 ~59% power from the plug With approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And once again... the interesting thing isn't just the numbers. It's what the plant does with the environment. Amnesia Haze Pheno A has taken those photons and built this enormous, three-dimensional structure full of dense flowers. Leaves. Branches. Flower sites. Different levels. Different angles. Different directions. And now... a ridiculous number of yoyos. 😂☀️🌿👑 That's her response. ──────────────────────── ☀️ THE ARTIFICIAL SUN IS STILL FLYING I continue to really enjoy what the expanded Future of Grow lighting setup has brought to this room. Two additional Black Series 600W fixtures gave us more capability. But we're not simply saying: "We have more power, therefore let's run everything at maximum." No. We have more capacity. We have more flexibility. We have more control. And we're using that capacity in a controlled way. Around 59% from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And enough available light to illuminate a room full of very different plants. A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for providing the additional fixtures and allowing us to test this expanded setup in a real flowering environment. It's been fascinating. More photons. More capability. Different genetics. Completely different responses. ☀️🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE THE REAL STORY Because when you strip away all the jokes about yoyos... that's what this is really about. The flowers. 🌸🌸🌸 They're developing beautifully. They're compact. They're dense. They're substantial. And they're distributed throughout the plant. This isn't one impressive flower surrounded by empty space. It's a plant carrying a whole network of flowering structures. And that's why she's becoming so heavy. Every flower contributes. Every branch contributes. Every little bit of structure adds up. Eventually... gravity notices. 😂⚖️ And that's where the yoyo department comes in. ──────────────────────── 🌿 OBSERVATION MODE IS STILL ON At this stage of the 8×8 Adventure, I'm doing less and observing more. And honestly? I love it. Earlier in the grow, there was plenty to do. Training. Canopy work. Defoliation. Positioning. Adjustments. Decisions. Now? The plants are doing the majority of the work. Our job is: Look. Observe. Check. Monitor. Support when necessary. Adjust when necessary. And otherwise... leave them alone. 😂🌱 Amnesia Haze Pheno A is a perfect example. She's healthy-looking. She's developing. She's carrying serious flower. She's heavy. So what does she need from me? Mostly... support. And that's exactly what she's getting. ──────────────────────── 👑 BIG MAMA HAS ENTERED THE SUPPORT PHASE I think that's the easiest way to describe this stage of her journey. Big Mama has built the structure. Big Mama has built the flowers. Big Mama has created the weight. Now Big Mama needs a little help carrying everything. 😂👑🌿 And that's okay. Actually... it's beautiful. Because support becomes evidence of what the plant has achieved. Every yoyo is basically saying: "Something here got heavy enough that gravity needed assistance." 😂 And when you look at how many there are... well... that tells you plenty. ──────────────────────── 🍃 HER LEAVES ARE STILL HER OWN And of course... she continues to have that funky Amnesia Haze personality. 😂🍃 The foliage has its own way of arranging itself. Leaves pointing in different directions. Different angles. Different expressions. And I'm still not interested in forcing every leaf into some perfect textbook arrangement. Why? Because she's healthy-looking. She's developing beautifully. And she's showing us her phenotype. Different is part of the experiment. We're not trying to make twelve plants behave like clones. We're trying to see what they do. And this girl? She does things her own way. As always. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – LETTING HER CONTINUE The room continues under the same general flowering nutritional strategy, with the later-stage transition being handled progressively. We're continuing to observe the plants rather than making changes simply because the calendar moved forward another week. The room's current foundation remains around: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom 🌱 Power Buds 🌱 Green Sensation 🌱 Sugar Royal with the room operating around: ⚗️ pH ~6.0 ⚡ EC gradually being managed as we move through the later stages And with Amnesia Haze Pheno A, the most important thing is her response. She's responding. She's building. She's developing. She's carrying weight. And she's doing exactly what we want to see. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 – ROOM CONDITIONS The general 8×8 environment remains broadly stable around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 ⚡ EC: gradually being reduced through the later flowering stages 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h 🌱 Pot size: 15 L ☀️ Upper canopy: ~1,500 PPFD 🔌 Lighting output: ~59% Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same overall approach. And this girl? Still heavy. 😂👑🌸 ──────────────────────── 😂 THE YOYOS ARE NOW PART OF THE FAMILY I'm not even joking anymore. They're everywhere. 😂😂😂 At this point, if somebody walked into the room and asked: "What are you growing?" I might answer: "Amnesia Haze and a small collection of yoyos." 😂👑🌿 Because the support network around this girl has become ridiculous. But again... I don't see it as a problem. I see it as a solution to a very obvious situation. The plant is heavy. The branches are carrying weight. So we support them. Simple. No drama. No panic. No need to reinvent anything. Just: "That branch looks like it needs help." Yoyo. 😂 Next branch? Yoyo. Next one? Probably another yoyo. 😂👑 ──────────────────────── 💎 DENSE FLOWERS CREATE HEAVY BRANCHES This is where everything comes together. The compact flower structure. The density. The number of flowering sites. The size of the plant. The three-dimensional canopy. All of those things combine. And eventually... the branches have to carry the result. That's why I keep coming back to the fact that she's not simply "big." She's packed. She's dense. She's full. And that density has consequences. In this case... a ridiculous number of yoyos. 😂🌸⚖️ But honestly? I'll take that problem. Every damn time. ──────────────────────── 👑 LET THE QUEEN SHINE There are plants that make you notice them because they're tall. There are plants that make you notice them because they're wide. There are plants that make you notice them because they're colourful. And then there are plants like this girl... who make you notice them because you look at the entire structure and think: "How the hell is she carrying all of that?" 😂👑🌿🌸 That's Amnesia Haze Pheno A. She's dense. She's compact. She's heavy. She's beautiful. She's loaded. And she's doing her thing. So yes... she deserves the spotlight. Absolutely. ──────────────────────── 🔬 THIS IS WHY THE 8×8 IS SO MUCH FUN Put twelve plants into one room. Give them the same general environment. Give them the same photons. Give them the same irrigation philosophy. Give them the same nutritional foundation. And then stand back... and watch. 😂🌿 One becomes enormous. One stays compact. One moves quickly. Another takes the scenic route. One produces huge flowers. Another produces dense flowers. One needs support here. Another needs support there. And Amnesia Haze Pheno A? She's basically saying: "I don't need to be the tallest girl. I'm just going to become so fucking heavy that you need a yoyo army." 😂😂😂👑 Message received. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? More of the same. And I'm completely happy with that. We'll keep watching her. We'll keep photographing her. We'll keep checking the support. We'll keep monitoring the environment. We'll keep observing the flowers. And if another branch decides: "Yeah... I need a yoyo too." We'll give it one. 😂🌿 No unnecessary intervention. No forcing. No trying to change her personality. Just support. Observation. Patience. And letting her finish her own story. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – THE QUEEN IS STILL HEAVY Week 13. And Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A? She's still the Queen. 👑🌿🔥 She's still heavy. She's still beautiful. She's still dense. She's still compact. She's still carrying an absolutely ridiculous amount of flower. And she's still requiring a support network that is getting completely out of hand. 😂😂😂 But honestly? I wouldn't change a thing. Because every yoyo is there because she earned it. She built the branches. She built the flowers. She created the weight. And now we're simply helping her carry the results. That's what this stage is about. The plant does the work. The grower watches. The grower supports. The grower adjusts when necessary. And otherwise... gets the hell out of the way. 😂🌿 She's not little. Not remotely. She's a big mama with compact architecture and dense flowers. And that's what makes her so special. The flowers aren't necessarily the longest. They're not trying to stretch across the room. They're compact. They're dense. They're substantial. And there are enough of them to make gravity very interested. 😂⚖️🌸 So keep doing your thing, Queen. Keep building. Keep stacking. Keep getting heavier. And please... try not to make me install another fifty yoyos next week. 😂😂😂👑 Although... if you do... I'll probably install them. Because that's what the yoyo department does. 😂🌿👑🔥 Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep supporting where needed. And most importantly... let's let this beautiful girl shine. 👑🌿🌸💎☀️🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Amnesia Haze genetics and for giving us the opportunity to follow this incredible phenotype from the beginning of the adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition throughout this journey. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup in the 8×8. More capability. More control. More photons. And twelve different plants showing us twelve different responses. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch these girls develop. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 And this girl? She's certainly giving us something worth watching. She's dense. She's compact. She's beautiful. She's heavy. She's loaded with flowers. And she's apparently determined to keep the yoyo industry alive all by herself. 😂😂😂👑 Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Amnesia Haze Pheno A is writing hers with a very clear message: "I built all this. Now help me hold it." 😂👑🌿🌸 Message received, Queen. The support is staying. The camera is staying ready. The photons keep flying. And we're going to keep watching this beautiful big mama do what she does best. Grow. Build. Stack. Get heavy. And shine. 👑🌿🌸💎☀️🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 Happy growing, take care everyone... and I'll see you next week in the 8×8 jungle. Where some girls need a little support... and apparently Amnesia Haze Pheno A has decided she needs the entire fucking yoyo department. 😂😂😂👑🌿🔥 See you next week! 🌱📸💚

1/5/202 6:12 AM Monday they all look so good. I got rid of advanced nutrients completely, and all of my plants have transformed into what they should’ve been the whole time. I either got a bad batch or let’s just face It, advanced nutrients may not be what you think it is. I’ve given them several chances and I’m gonna lower them to a one star product and I’m starting over with the general hydroponics. I’ll never look back. 1/5/26 6:32 AM. I learned this from the Three Stooges this morning. I believe I have Three Stooges syndrome, but that’s not important right now the words of Curly are important🚨🚨🚨🚨 If at first you don’t succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed!!!!!!🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 that’s the greatest advice from Curly from the three stooges you’re welcome. 1/7/26 12:47AM my I am failing. If I dont bounce back all the plants are going to go with me. rest a few hours, get the blood off my neck nd back. Maybe take me 1 2 hours medical stasis meditation, and back to Samurai Warrior in no time at all.... 💪💪💪💪💪 1/7/26 1:13AM 🚨 I had an idea!!!!!!!! from Grok:🚨🚨 That’s a brilliant observation and a real win stacking on top of the nutrient switch—fixing the Advanced Nutrients issues (likely lockout, buildup, or imbalance causing inefficiency) has unlocked a cascade of benefits beyond just healthier plants. You’re seeing **increased overall system efficiency** on multiple levels: better nutrient uptake means plants convert light energy more effectively into growth, so they need **less light intensity** to hit the same (or better) results. Dropping wattage by ~10% (or more) while cramming in a few extra plants in the same space is classic optimization—lower power draw, less heat output (easier temp/RH control), reduced cooling needs, and still pushing strong yields. This is exactly how efficient grows scale: when roots/nutes are dialed (your GH powder + aminos + mycos combo is clearly firing), plants photosynthesize more efficiently. They waste less energy on stress recovery and put more into biomass/bud production per photon. Studies and grower reports back this—once nutrient stress is removed, you can often run 10–20% lower PPFD (light intensity) without yield drop, especially in autos where light demands are already moderate. For your setup (assuming Mars Hydro FC 1500-EVO or similar bar LED, currently ~83W at 14 inches for Week 5+ veg): - Autos in veg typically thrive at 400–600 µmol/m²/s PPFD (many aim 450–550 for compact growth without stretch). - In flower, 600–900 µmol/m²/s is common, but autos often peak lower (600–800) since they don’t need the extreme push of photos. - Dropping 10% wattage (e.g., from 83W to ~75W) might shave PPFD by 8–12% depending on dimming curve, but if plants were borderline over-saturated before (common post-nute fix), this could land you in the sweet spot—denser nodes, less tip burn risk, and still hitting 40+ DLI (daily light integral) on your long photoperiod. **Solar-powered angle** makes this even sweeter—your 100% solar setup (panels + batteries/inverter?) already eliminates grid costs, but efficiency gains compound: - Lower wattage = less draw on batteries during cloudy/low-sun periods → longer runtime or less depth of discharge → longer battery life. - Reduced heat = lower fan/AC draw (biggest hidden energy hog in tents) → more headroom for lights/fans without spiking consumption. - More plants in the space = higher yield per kWh/sq ft → better ROI on your solar investment. Tips to push this further (while keeping the miracle growth): - **Measure it**: If you have a PAR meter (or app like Photone), check canopy PPFD before/after the drop—aim to stay in the 450–650 range for late veg/early flower on autos. No meter? Watch plant response: happy dark green leaves, tight nodes, no upward cupping (too intense) or stretch (too low). - **Dim strategically**: Drop 10–15% now (late veg), monitor for a week. If no stretch/pre-flower lag, hold or drop another 5–10% into early flower. Autos are forgiving if nutes are clean. - **Space packing**: With better efficiency, you can tighten spacing slightly (e.g., 12–16” between tops) for more plants, but prioritize airflow—add a small clip fan if needed to prevent pockets of humidity. - **Energy tracking**: Log daily kWh draw (if your inverter/app shows it) before/after changes—celebrate the drop in usage while yields stay up or improve. - **Next level**: If you’re already solar-maxed, consider CO₂ supplementation (bags or low-output generator) in sealed space—plants can use 20–30% more light without stress, but only if nutes/light are perfect (which yours now are). You’re engineering a lean, green, high-output system here—solar-powered, low-energy, nutrient-optimized, and now light-efficient. This is the kind of iterative win that turns hobby grows into optimized ops. How much are you planning to drop wattage initially (e.g., to 70–75W?), and how many extra plants are you thinking of squeezing in? Any pre-flower signs yet on the leaders (Corkscrew, etc.)? Keep documenting—the diary’s gonna show this evolution beautifully. So stoked for you. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞

SETUP: -MIGRO 100 -Grow space 60X60X160 (Mammoth PRO 60). -Grow medium is Gold Label Special Mix Gold edition Premium, Airpot (10l). _____________________________ 14th September - Day 22 (Day 24 "Beer Cup") - I have given them booth some 💧same here... Just been going on feeling now by checking the weight on the pot before and after watering. Today I'm giving them some nutes for the first time. Because the smaller pot is around 20% of the size as the bigger one. I'm going to try to split 1L (100ml) of water with nutes like this: Final pot got 800ml water and "Beer Cup" got 200ml of water. (Both got 1ml Sensi Bloom A & 1ml Sensi Bloom B / L) _____________________________ 16th September - Day 24 (Day 26 "Beer Cup") - I have given them booth some 💧 Final pot got 600ml water and "Beer Cup" got 300ml of water. (Both got 1ml Sensi Bloom A & 1ml Sensi Bloom B / L) _____________________________ 19th September - Day 27 (Day 29 "Beer Cup") - I have given them booth some 💧 Final pot got 600ml water and "Beer Cup" got 300ml of water. (Both got 1ml Sensi Bloom A & 1ml Sensi Bloom B / L) _____________________________ 20th September - Day 28 (Day 30 "Beer Cup") - Increased the LED from 3/5 of strength to 4/5 of strength.

25th May - just updated pics , and to start of week 11 , it smells nice and looks alright think I will be pleased with the outcome ✌️

Last week (9th) of flower harvested at day 63 flowering I had some overwatering problems in week 3-4 which threw me back like 2-3 weeks of veg, all plants had stunted growth... I did some lolipoping just before flowering but it seems it wasn't enough...alot of small budsites...will remove more next time... All in all i'm still very satisfied with the harvest, alot of nice mid-sized nuggets, all over resin Will add harvest weeks for both strains next week after i dried them

2 months and 3 days this auto is a killer, I put her in a 5 gallon pot, because why not? well first of all her root ball was tiny i'd be surprised if she went all the way down actually. You'd easily fit her into a 2L pot and get a ball park result. I might add a few in my next grow to fill the space beween the tray and the wall I have just enough space for one row in a 4x4 that's like 8 plants lol . If i do that I'll cross her side colas in front of her so there's no damage with the tent when it get sucked in when it's closed. What I really want to do is to do a full tent with these little pots, maybe do it SOG coco, because you can get a shit ton of the small pots in there then pull a decent amount of bud - strength in numbers! The harvest went okay, went in chopped it down at like < 5% ambers all milky not clears. hung it up to dry, it was moist the first three days but then on day 4 it dried out almost instantly, i pulled it and jarred it with boveda 62% (I couldnt find the 58s anywhere??) stems and all, prayed for 10 days, didnt open them, no burping necessary, not really with what happened and the boveda in there. Came out incredible. Strong, like I said, really smooth smoke, snow white ash, and it litterally tastes like grapes. Can't believe it how much it tastes distinctive, i'm guessing the rudiralis cross really supports the grapey taste. when you're pulling the smoke is sweet and a grapes, and it's not other berries, it's really grapes. For sure one of the better smokes I've ever had, and I smoked some GSCxGrape cross recently, these reminded me of that smoke but better on the grapes-side of things, still earthy though maybe a hint of coffee... The plant itself grew just like other rudiralis-dominant strains I've had, straight up in a pinetree shape, side colas grew almost as tall as the main cola the end. She had really thick indica leaves, amazing green colors on the stems even after the chop, that contrasted with the incredibly dark purple and royal purple flowers. Straight from the start of flower the purnurples started creeping straight from the flower nodes onto the leaves. Their coloration process was really amazing to watch happen purples literally bleeding onto the leaves. as she flowered, her nodes opened up in typical "strawberry"-strain fashion, like making those nice open flowers, full of trichomes and sugar leaves covered in trichs and oil. Loved it ! She didnt really smell that loud until the very end then she really smelled strong like lemon peel, a testament to how strong she actually is. If I find the space, i'll try to make some extracts from a full tent, probably the best vape juice anyone ever has tasted.

This week the flowers really started to come out. Got some nice closeups on their formation. Video includes a quick rundown of the nutrient line and supplements. Apologies for the sideways viewing, going to straighten out all the videos soon.

Great color. Im hanging by the stems so I'll get a weight after dry. Great purple color. She loved all the light. pest resistance was 10/10.

I’ve been flushing the plants for a week now. The colas have definitely gotten fatter from last week. It’s looking like I’ll be harvesting in 1 more week. Pretty much all the trichomes are milky and I’m starting to get amber ones.

Woche 3 der Blüte ist rum. Insgesamt sind die Ladys jetzt 42 Tage alt. Jede Lady fängt langsam an ihren typischen Geruch zu bekommen. Bei der StrawberryBanana musste ich einen Trieb wegschneiden, da er drei weiße Flecken, zwei davon auf den Blättern und einer auf dem Trieb hatte. Sonst wurden hier und da ein paar Fanleaves entfernt die andere Triebe verdeckt haben. Die GorillaZkittlez hat drei Mainbuds entwickelt und hat die bis jetzt dicksten Buds mit den meisten Trichomen. Unter der Woche habe ich einmal ca 400ml je Lady gegossen. Das zweite mal war an Tag 21F. Hier gab es für jede Lady ca 600ml. Zusätzlich gab es 4g/L BioEnhancer von GreenHouseFeeding, 1ml/L PureZym, 1ml/L PowerRoots von Plagron und 2ml/L StickyFingers von XpertNutrients. Es hätten etwas mehr Sonnenstunden sein können aber da kann man nichts machen. Dafür musste ich nicht so oft gießen und das Substrat hatte eine gut gleichbleibende Feuchtigkeit. Ich drück die Daumen das die nächsten Wochen noch ein bisschen mehr sonne mitbringen💪🏻💚 GorillaZkittlez: 68cm GorillaAuto: 93cm StrawberryBanana: 93cm Vielen Dank fürs reinschauen 🤙🏻💚

Two weeks in One. Hi Bros&Sis!! I have no time for updates the diaries, with two tent in full bloom, I'm always late for the weekly up, so please try to forgive me and enjoy the view. 😅 The girls are stretching!

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 17/11/2019 - Pot feels light and the is bottom dry to the touch time to water, gave her 1,5l of water PH 6.2 with 0.5ml Grow, 1ml, Bloom and 0.5ml Max Biobizz reduced the dosage from last time, watered util some runoff appeared. 18/11/2019 - Mixed another batch of Alg-a-Mic 2ml per liter to spray on lights off PH 6.2
