Clones did well. Cutting were placed directly in moist grow plug and I kept the best performers. Moving them to temporary containers. Defoliated anything at or below head level. Let's start flowering some plants.

The Mendo Frost continues to impress with exceptionally thick, heavily frosted buds covered in a dense layer of trichomes. From a maturity standpoint she is essentially finished, but I’m holding off on harvest due to the current heat wave and waiting for cooler conditions to ensure a proper dry. For now, it’s all about preserving quality and letting the flowers sit a little longer until the weather cooperates.

La primera semana de floración les sentó bien la echaron su sexo, hembras, ahora ya queda ir viendo cómo se forman las flores. La temperatura no pasa a los 30 nunca.

I did a final round of stripping small branches and big fan leaves the other day, ending week 3 of flower. I've started ramping up koolbloom powder and Epsom salt. I've dialed back my fertigation events to 2 per day, I'm still getting runoff, but the plants don't seem to mind this change so far. These plants seem fast to flip, and I'm hoping to see some bud development kick off this week. The strain seems to be about a week ahead of strains I've grown in the past. There aren't any super terpy smells yet, but it's starting to smell like something. I'll be posting a midweek update in 3 days. 6/26 The plants are starting to put out some unique terpenes, Ethos' description is very accurate, fruit stripe gum and gasoline. It isn't super strong yet, but I can smell it when I manipulate some leafs. I'm done defoliating, and will let them go until harvest. Happy growing everyone!

Wir sind am Tag 65 angekommen. Den Mädels gehts super! Buds legen zu. Die Fächerblätter der RS 11 werden langsam gelblich - jemand ne Idee? Temperatur noch bei 23-25C und die LF habe ich etwas runtergedreht und auf 50% gestellt. 2.5L Wasser mit Hesi Bio-Bloom bekommen sie alle 3 Tage, mit einem Ph-Wert Zwischen 5.5-6.0. Die Lumatek 200W Pro ist nun 30cm entfernt und auf 100% gedimmt. ----------- Hey ihr Grower, sind am Tag 69 angekommen. Den Mädels gehts super! Blüten legen deutlich zu.

Day 44, 16th of September 2020: I think she just keeps asking me why why why do you torture me ? I say I do lova ya but I love LST as well baby. Sorry.... Repotted I think it is 2 L because she required. Crazy LST done ✔️ Anyways I.placed her under 600W Viparsectra PAR 600 in the tent. Some boost before starts flowering ;)

I love this time of the week, when I sit down and think about what to write here. It reminds me of how simple this organic living soil method is. There’s really not much to say!! The girls are doing great, the leaves have a slightly yellow hue, but the plants will get their final top dress today (day 103, F43) and should be done 2-3 weeks from now. So excited!!! My little population of hypoaspis mites seems to get out of hand. I’ll admit, it scares me and I can get quite hostile with them. I’ve made my peace with them for now though! I’m sorry little guys 💔 The smells are so intense. Reminds me of those pineapple cheese sticks at parties. Absolute stank city, I can’t wait to smell them post-cure 😎 See you next week growmies! These buds are already fat, God knows what they’ll be like when I chop 😍😍🍃🍍

Week 8 started today. Things are looking very good! Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: my new light JUST arrived!!! Man this thing is huge! It's a beautiful day to be alive, peace everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: the new light is installed and looks beautiful! Definitely going to need sunglasses from here on out,lol. ✌️🍀✌️

Auto looks done. Pakistan Valleys look almost done. Candy may need another couple weeks. What do u think i should do guys? Should i wait and harvest all together? Or harvest the auto now, then the kush and lastly the Candy? What's the best way. Also i had been planning to dry them all in my tent. If I do a staggered harvest, i have to build a box or empty out a closet to try and dry them in 😫

June 11: First week exposed to the full elements. Plants took a beating from the wind but othwise look strong and healthy albeit a bit small. No rain this past week, but soil moisture at 10cm is decent. Preflowers are showing already.

Sto riportando tutto quello che ho appreso nella scorsa corsa, ora sono curioso di vedere che succede e come reagiranno le bimbe 💪🏽💚 se avete qualche Consiglio fatevi sentire! Questa cheese la adoro.

Week 7 (1.11.26--1.18.26) took photos on 1.12.26 1.11.26 Transitioned to ripen at 1x1

Sono passato dal 75% al 100 % di dimmer, Marshydro depp red 18 ore ccese Marshydro uv 10 minuti ogni ora per 18 ore

Struggle with temps again blummin UK weather lolol , She looking happy tho so all's good 😄 Peace to all you fine herbalists 🕊️🕊️🕊️

She came down yesterday, was done much before yesterday but was waiting for the coco to dry out. I'm growing this one again soon this one got stunted. The buds came out decent and smell like lemon and pine to me.

💚 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 8 | Small Pot, Big Appetite Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Sometimes a phenotype doesn't need to be the biggest plant in the room to become one of the most interesting. And this little lady is becoming exactly that. Last week I was already talking about how difficult it was becoming to believe that this plant was growing in only 11 litres of soil. Well... This week she's making that even harder to believe. She is lush. She is vigorous. She is flowering beautifully. And she's drinking and feeding like she has absolutely no idea that she's supposed to be the girl living in the smallest pot in the room. 😂 So this week, I think Pheno B deserves the spotlight. Let's talk about her. 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure If you're joining this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. Every plant in this room has been grown under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light schedule from seed germination. There is no traditional vegetative period. Instead, every phenotype has been given the same environment and allowed to reveal its natural architecture from the beginning. That makes comparisons incredibly interesting. Same room. Same light schedule. Same environmental conditions. Same general feeding strategy. Same grower. But completely different personalities. And Pheno B has developed into one of the most fascinating examples of that genetic individuality. ? The Smallest Pot in the Room There are 12 different genetics growing together in this room. Almost all of them are sitting comfortably in 15-litre pots. Pheno B? She's the exception. She's growing in only 11 litres of soil. Originally, this was simply another little experiment. I wanted to see how far I could push a smaller root volume while maintaining proper nutrition and environmental control. And honestly... She's making me rethink some assumptions. Because the limitation I'm seeing isn't that she's struggling. It's actually the opposite. She's drinking like crazy. Her smaller substrate volume means I have to pay much closer attention to moisture levels and irrigation frequency. There are times when she needs watering twice in the same day because she's drying back so quickly. That tells me something important. She's not behaving like a plant sitting in a small container waiting for the next irrigation. She's behaving more like a plant with a very active root system that is continuously demanding water and nutrients. And that's exactly why having proper substrate monitoring becomes so valuable. 📡 Watching the Root Zone in Real Time This is where the TrolMaster WCS-2 substrate sensor has become one of my favourite tools for this particular experiment. Instead of guessing what's happening inside the pot, I can actually monitor the root-zone conditions. Moisture. Temperature. And substrate EC. At the moment, the substrate EC is reading approximately: 0.91 mS/cm And that number is fascinating considering the strength of the irrigation. I'm feeding around 2.0 EC, yet the substrate is sitting considerably lower. To me, that's a very interesting indication of how actively this plant is taking up what I'm giving her. She's not simply sitting there accumulating nutrients. She's using them. And when I look at the plant itself... It makes perfect sense. 🌿 A Plant With a Big Appetite This phenotype is absolutely lush. The foliage is vibrant and vigorous, the structure remains beautifully balanced, and the plant continues pushing new flowering growth throughout the canopy. There is no obvious sign that the smaller container is holding her back. In fact, one of the biggest challenges I'm having with this plant is simply keeping up with her demand for water. That's quite a funny problem to have when your experiment was supposed to test whether a smaller pot might become the limiting factor. Instead, Pheno B seems to be saying: "Give me more." 😂 And I'm listening. 🌸 Flower Development Is Moving Forward The flowering sites are continuing to develop beautifully. The white pistils remain abundant across the plant, and the developing flowers are becoming increasingly defined. The structure is particularly pleasing to look at. She has enough spacing between the branches to maintain airflow and light penetration, while still producing a very respectable number of flowering sites. The central growth remains strong, but the secondary branches aren't being left behind. That's something I really appreciate about this phenotype. She doesn't look like she's trying to become one giant cola. Instead, she's building a balanced architecture where the entire plant contributes. And now that we're moving deeper into flower, that structure should become increasingly interesting as the flowers begin to swell. ✂️ Still No Defoliation And yes... I still haven't defoliated her. And I'm completely comfortable with that decision. Looking at the plant, I simply don't feel she needs it yet. The foliage is healthy. The plant is actively flowering. The canopy isn't showing signs that demand an aggressive intervention. And perhaps most importantly, I don't want to remove healthy leaves simply because we're accustomed to seeing defoliation performed at a particular stage of flower. Every plant gets evaluated individually. Pheno B is telling me that she still wants those leaves. So for now... She keeps them. A little leaf positioning when necessary is enough. I'm much more interested in watching how she naturally manages her canopy than forcing her into a particular shape. Sometimes the best training technique is knowing when not to train. 💧 Feeding Strategy The nutritional program continues supporting this extremely hungry phenotype. Current feeding includes: Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Plagron pH Plus / Lemon Kick — as required for pH adjustment The irrigation is running at approximately 2.0 EC, while the substrate sensor is currently showing around 0.91 mS/cm. And once again... She's eating. A lot. That's probably one of the most interesting characteristics of this phenotype so far. She may be the smallest pot in the room, but she's certainly not the smallest appetite. 💡 Light, Environment & Root Zone The environmental conditions remain stable, which is exactly what I want at this stage. Current conditions: 🌱 Flowering: Week 8 📏 Height: 135 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ Substrate EC: 0.91 mS/cm 🌡️ Root-zone temperature: 21°C 💧 Solution temperature: 21°C 🌫️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 11 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1.2 L per plant per 24h, with frequency adjusted according to substrate demand 💡 Under-canopy lighting: Lumiflora 📡 Substrate monitoring: TrolMaster WCS-2 The most important part of this week's environmental story isn't necessarily a single number. It's consistency. And that consistency gives the plant the freedom to express what she's capable of genetically. 🌿 The Personality of Pheno B Every phenotype eventually develops a personality. And I think I finally know how I would describe this one. She's the quiet overachiever. She wasn't the phenotype that immediately demanded attention. She wasn't the biggest. She wasn't the fastest to announce herself. She simply kept growing. Kept building. Kept flowering. And now we're reaching the point where she's becoming impossible to ignore. The funny thing is that her biggest disadvantage on paper — the 11-litre pot — has actually become one of the most interesting things about her. Because instead of showing weakness... She's showing efficiency. 📸 This Week's Gallery Looking through this week's photographs, the first thing that stands out is just how healthy the plant looks. The leaves are beautifully developed, with strong colour and excellent structure. The macro photographs reveal flowering sites covered in fresh white pistils, with the developing flowers beginning to take shape. The full-plant photograph tells another part of the story. She's tall. She's balanced. She's branching beautifully. And when you remember that this plant is growing in only 11 litres while her sisters are sitting in 15-litre containers... It's genuinely impressive. The close-up photographs also show why I haven't felt the need to defoliate her. There is still plenty of healthy foliage contributing to the plant's energy production. For now, I'm happy to let her keep doing what she's doing. 🔬 One Small Pot, One Interesting Experiment This is becoming one of those experiments that I didn't expect to become so educational. We often associate larger containers with greater potential. And there's certainly good reason for that. More root volume can provide more buffering capacity, more available water and more room for root development. But this plant is reminding me that container size is only one part of the equation. Genetics matter. Root health matters. Irrigation strategy matters. Nutrition matters. Environment matters. And perhaps most importantly... The plant itself matters. A phenotype with an efficient, highly active root system can behave very differently from another plant sitting beside it in the exact same room. That's why I love phenotype hunting. You think you're running an experiment on one thing... And the plants teach you about five other things along the way. 🔮 Looking Ahead The next few weeks should be very exciting. We're entering the part of the cycle where the structure we've been watching develop should begin transforming into much more substantial flowers. I'll continue monitoring the substrate closely because this little 11-litre container is clearly demanding more attention than her sisters. The WCS-2 will remain an important part of that process. I'm particularly interested in continuing to watch the relationship between: irrigation EC → substrate EC → moisture depletion → plant response. And of course... I'm still not planning to defoliate simply because the calendar says I should. If she continues looking this good, I'll continue letting her tell me what she needs. 💚 Final Thoughts Pheno B started this adventure as the smaller sister. The quieter one. The phenotype living in the pot that was supposed to become the limiting factor. Eight weeks later... She's standing 135 cm tall, flowering beautifully, drinking aggressively, consuming nutrients at a serious rate, and maintaining a canopy that is still lush and healthy. She's making me water more. She's making me monitor more. She's making me pay attention. And she's making this experiment much more interesting than I expected. Sometimes the plant you expect the least from becomes the one that teaches you the most. And this little lady? She's definitely teaching me. Small pot. Big appetite. Beautiful structure. And absolutely no intention of playing small. Let's see where she takes us next. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure.

I am probably going to purchase these seeds again. I liked how they all few, and they all were very similar in growth styles so I knew exactly what to expect after the first time. I loved that aspect for sure.
