💚 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 7 | The Queen of the Canopy Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Every week this project reminds me why I enjoy phenotype hunting so much. When twelve plants grow together under identical conditions, you quickly discover that genetics always have the final word. Some stay compact. Some flower early. Some focus on branching. And then... There's Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A. She's becoming one of the true giants of the room. Tall. Elegant. Powerful. She continues stretching toward the ceiling while simultaneously filling every branch with fresh flowers. She's demanding plenty of space... ...and I'm more than happy to give it to her. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure For anyone joining this diary for the first time, welcome! This grow is part of my ongoing 8×8 Adventure, where multiple cultivars and phenotypes are grown side by side using the 12/12 From Seed technique. From germination onwards, every plant has received exactly the same conditions. • The same 12/12 light schedule. • The same Plagron nutrition. • The same AutoPot irrigation. • The same Future of Grow Black Series LED lighting. • The same TrolMaster-controlled environment. • The same temperatures. • The same humidity. • The same daily care. The goal is simple. Remove as many variables as possible and allow genetics to tell their own story. Every week these plants remind me that no two individuals—even from the same strain—are ever exactly alike. 🌿 Big Mama Keeps Growing If I had to describe this phenotype in one sentence... She simply refuses to stop growing. At 171 cm tall, she's one of the largest plants in the entire room and continues dominating the canopy with remarkable confidence. Despite her impressive size, she remains beautifully balanced. Her branches are strong. The stem has thickened considerably. Every node feels capable of supporting substantial flowers later on. She certainly has a few quirky characteristics. Some leaves twist. Others curl. A few have developed their own unique personality. Yet none of those traits concern me. They're simply part of this phenotype's individual expression. The colour remains deep green. Growth remains vigorous. Flower development continues accelerating. Sometimes the most interesting plants are the ones that don't look perfectly textbook. 🌸 White Pistils and Growing Calyxes This week the flowers have taken another important step forward. Fresh white pistils continue emerging from every flowering site across the plant. Those delicate white hairs are the pistils, the female reproductive organs that would normally capture pollen in nature. Fortunately for us, they'll remain unfertilized, allowing the plant to continue directing all of her energy into producing beautiful seedless flowers. Beneath every cluster of pistils sit tiny calyxes. These small structures are the true building blocks of every bud. Week after week, more calyxes will appear. They'll begin stacking together, gradually swelling as resin production increases until those tiny flower sites transform into long, dense colas. Looking at the structure she's built already... I'm expecting something very special. 🌿 Internodal Spacing That Makes Sense One feature that really stands out on this phenotype is the internodal spacing. The distance between flowering sites is slightly longer than on some of the other cultivars in the room. Rather than seeing that as a disadvantage, I actually see opportunity. The more open structure allows light to penetrate deeper into the canopy while maintaining excellent airflow around developing flowers. Combined with her strong branching, it creates a plant that's naturally well suited for producing long, evenly developed colas from top to bottom. Every branch has room to breathe. Sometimes less crowded means more productive. 🍃 Gentle Training, Natural Growth This week has continued exactly as planned. No aggressive defoliation. No heavy pruning. Instead, I've relied on gentle leaf tucking and occasional leaf bending to expose developing flower sites while allowing the plant to keep as much healthy foliage as possible. Fan leaves are solar panels. Every healthy leaf captures energy that the plant converts into new growth and flower production. When airflow remains excellent, there's often little reason to remove leaves simply for appearance. Sometimes patience is the best training technique of all. 💧 Feeding a Hungry Giant A plant this vigorous naturally has a healthy appetite. Fortunately, the Plagron feeding schedule continues supplying everything she needs while maintaining outstanding plant health. Current feeding includes: • Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L Provides the phosphorus and potassium needed for continued flower development. • Power Buds — 1 ml/L Supports the transition into full flowering by encouraging additional flower initiation. • Green Sensation — 1 ml/L A complete flowering enhancer designed to support bud density, resin production and overall plant performance. • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Stimulates the plant's natural production of sugars, aromas and terpene development. • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L Enzymes help recycle dead root material while maintaining a healthy and efficient root zone. • pH adjustment using Lemon Kick and pH Plus Keeping nutrient availability exactly where the plant needs it throughout bloom. The goal isn't forcing the plant to grow faster. It's giving her everything she needs so genetics can do the rest. 💡 Under-Canopy Lighting Joins the Team One exciting addition this week is the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting system. Unlike the main LED fixture that illuminates the canopy from above, these lights provide additional illumination beneath the plants. The purpose isn't replacing the primary light source. Instead, they help deliver usable light to lower flowering sites that would otherwise receive significantly less energy as the canopy becomes denser. Will it dramatically increase yields overnight? Probably not. That's not what it's designed to do. What I'm hoping to see over the coming weeks is stronger lower flower development, improved light distribution and an even more productive canopy from top to bottom. This project is the perfect opportunity to observe those differences in real-world conditions. 🌡️ Stable Conditions, Happy Plants Like every phenotype in this room, Amnesia Haze continues benefiting from a stable environment. Current grow room conditions include: • Flower Week 7 • Height: 171 cm • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 636 ppm When environmental conditions remain stable, the plants can dedicate their energy toward growing instead of constantly adapting to fluctuations. Consistency is one of the greatest tools a grower can provide. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs showcase exactly why this phenotype has become one of the stars of the room. The full-plant portraits highlight her incredible height and elegant architecture, while the close-up images capture hundreds of fresh white pistils emerging from every flowering site. The airy branching creates a beautiful rhythm throughout the plant, giving every cola room to develop naturally. Her unique leaves continue adding personality to every photograph. They're quirky. They're different. They're unmistakably hers. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so much fun. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect the vertical stretch to begin slowing as more energy shifts into flower production. The calyxes should continue stacking rapidly. The white pistils will multiply even further. And hopefully we'll begin seeing the first noticeable increase in flower bulk across every branch. I'm equally excited to continue observing how the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting influences the lower flowers as the canopy becomes increasingly dense. One thing already feels certain. Big Mama isn't finished impressing us yet. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Projects like this remind me that every plant deserves the opportunity to express its own personality. Some stay small. Some remain compact. Others quietly surprise you. And then there are phenotypes like this one... The plants that simply walk into the room and demand your attention.
