🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 9 | The Queen Is Getting Heavy 👑💚 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Well... Our Queen has reached another stage. She's still rising. She's still beautiful. She's still stretching her presence across the room. But now there's a new problem. She's getting heavy. Very heavy. 😂👑 At this point, I'm not really trying to tell Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A where to grow. I'm mostly trying to help her hold herself up. And honestly? That's a pretty good problem to have. 👑 The Queen Keeps Rising Last week, she was already sitting at an impressive 175 cm. And even though she was already one of the tallest plants in the room, she's continuing to carry herself like she has somewhere else to go. But the most interesting thing now isn't simply her height. It's the amount of flower she's carrying along that structure. This girl is becoming a heavy mama. Her branches are loaded. The flower sites are developing beautifully. And the weight is beginning to show. I've been supporting her wherever I can, using yo-yos from above and sticks placed into the substrate to give individual branches some extra support. Because apparently... 175 cm wasn't enough. Now she wants to become heavy too. 😂 🌱 Sometimes You Don't Train the Plant — You Support It There's a difference between trying to shape a plant and simply helping it carry the structure it has already created. At this stage, I'm not trying to force her into another shape. She's already told me what she wants to be. Tall. Wide. Heavy. Flower-loaded. So my job is simply to support her. Some branches want to fall. Some are carrying so much weight that they need a little assistance. And every time I think I've supported everything... another one decides: "Actually, I'm going this way." 😂 She's becoming one of those plants where the grower spends less time asking: "Where should I put this branch?" and more time asking: "Okay... how do I stop this branch from falling over?" That's the Queen. 🌸 The Flowers Are Getting Serious And underneath all that support work is the reason we're here. The flowers. They're developing beautifully. The individual sites are becoming more substantial, the calyxes are becoming increasingly visible, and the plant is continuing to build on the flowering structure we've been watching develop week after week. The difference from the earlier flowering stages is becoming more obvious now. We're moving beyond simply watching flowers appear. We're watching them develop weight and definition. And that's where things get exciting. Because when you look at a plant this large and then start noticing how much flower is distributed across the branches... you begin to understand why she's becoming so difficult to keep upright. She's carrying her own success. 😂💚 ✂️ A Little More Breathing Room We did give her another small amount of attention with the scissors. Nothing aggressive. Just a few leaves removed where they were creating unnecessary crowding. The objective remains the same: Open space without taking away what the plant still needs. She's still beautifully lush. She's still carrying plenty of healthy foliage. And I like that balance. There's enough leaf mass to keep the plant working hard, while selected areas have been opened enough to improve visibility and breathing room around the developing flowers. I don't want to strip a plant simply because we're deeper into flowering. I want to respond to what the plant is actually showing me. And right now, what she's showing me is: "I'm growing. I'm flowering. And I'm getting heavy." Fair enough, Queen. 👑 💚 Still Beautifully Lush One of the things that continues to impress me about this phenotype is the amount of healthy green she maintains. She's tall. She's heavily branched. She's carrying flowers everywhere. She's been selectively defoliated. And yet she still has that beautiful, lush appearance that has been part of her personality from the beginning. There is something very satisfying about looking at her structure now. The main framework is established. The branches are supporting their flowers. The canopy has opened slightly. And the plant has this wonderful combination of height, density and strength. She's not just tall anymore. She's becoming substantial. 💡 Light From Above & Below The lighting ecosystem continues doing its job throughout the room. The Future of Grow LED Black Series provides the primary overhead lighting, while the additional under-canopy lighting continues giving the lower portions of these tall plants another source of illumination. And with a phenotype like this, that becomes particularly interesting. She's got flowers distributed from high up in the canopy down through the lower structure. Her height creates a huge vertical range. So I'm especially interested in watching how consistently those different levels continue developing. The Queen may be tall... but she's not leaving the lower floor behind. 🌱💡 💧 Feeding the Heavy Mama The overall flowering nutrition strategy remains consistent with the room. This week's program continues with: 🌸 Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH adjustment products – as required The nutrient solution remains around 2.0 mS/cm, with pH approximately 6.0. No special recipe for the Queen. No secret sauce. She's receiving the same overall strategy as the rest of the room. And she's responding by becoming a giant, flower-carrying problem child. 😂👑 I wouldn't have it any other way. 🌡️ The Environment The current recorded conditions remain: 🌸 Flower Week: 9 📏 Height: 175 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h The room continues to remain remarkably consistent. And once again, that's what makes the differences between these plants so interesting. Same ecosystem. Different genetics. Different personalities. Different structures. Different stories. 📸 The Camera Keeps Finding Something New The photographs continue to show just how much this girl has developed. From the wider views, you immediately see the scale. She's enormous compared with many of the other phenotypes. Then you get closer. And the story changes. You see the flowers. The pistils. The developing calyxes. The increasingly complex structure. The leaves surrounding everything. And then you look at the branches and realize: She's heavy. The supports aren't there because we're trying to make her pretty. They're there because the plant has simply produced enough structure and weight that some of those branches need a little help. And honestly... I think that's beautiful. 🔮 What's Coming Next? This is where I become very curious. We've watched her stretch. We've watched her flower. We've watched her develop. We've opened her canopy slightly. And now we're watching the plant transition into something much heavier. The coming weeks should tell us a lot about how much those flowers continue to develop and how much more weight these branches are going to carry. Which means my job may become increasingly simple: Check the flowers. Check the supports. Check the branches. Add another yo-yo. Move another stick. And wonder how this girl keeps finding ways to become heavier. 😂 👑 The Queen Deserves the Spotlight There are plenty of beautiful plants in this room. But Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A has earned a very particular place in this adventure. She's the Queen of the Canopy. She's one of the tallest. She's incredibly vigorous. She's beautifully lush. She's quirky. She's heavily branched. She's producing flowers from top to bottom. And now... she's getting heavy. So we're helping her. Not changing her. Not forcing her. Not trying to make her something else. Just giving her the support she needs to carry what she's built. A few leaves removed here. A yo-yo there. A stick in the substrate. And plenty of admiration. Because sometimes cultivation isn't about making the plant grow the way you want. Sometimes it's simply about saying: "Okay, girl. You've built this. I'll help you hold it." 👑💚 And that's exactly where we are with this Queen. 💚 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another reminder that every phenotype has its own personality. The 8×8 Adventure continues to fascinate me because twelve plants can share the same room, the same environment, the same nutrition and the same lighting philosophy... and still become twelve completely different characters. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A chose to become the giant. Then she decided to become the heavy giant. 😂👑 And I absolutely love watching it happen. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for giving growers a place to document, share, learn and inspire. 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the genetics behind this remarkable Amnesia Haze Auto phenotype. 💜 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting this adventure. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for the lighting powering the room. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. ✨ Lumiflora — for bringing additional light into the lower canopy and giving us another fascinating variable to observe. And thank you to everyone following along, commenting, sharing knowledge and enjoying this adventure with me. The Queen keeps rising. The Queen keeps flowering. The Queen keeps getting heavier. And apparently... the Queen is going to need more yo-yos. 😂👑💚 Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. And let's keep giving this beautiful girl the spotlight she has earned. Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱👑💚

Pulled day 59 of flower could waited a week more.Reasonably happy with the outcome. Very incense kind of smell but chocolate taste. Made some bag shake hash , about 2gms - lots of cloudy trycs in the hash. It’s worth checking the quality of the shack hash with a microscope. have made 400gms of canna-butter for edibles. Not a bad yield . I was expecting a bigger yield. Looks good in the jar .

Beginning of week.. I did remove a few fan leaves.. I also only adjusted the very top branches.. The very lowest branches are completely untied and have only had some HST but recovered a little too well.. The stems have straightened back out and are all knotted up.. Damnit.. Same issue I faced in my last grow.. I should just stop being lazy and tie all the damn branches down.. But all this week I will be adding more training.. Kinda slowly.. Not for any reason, other than it takes a while and I need to make time for it all lol.. It should get done in the next 2 - 3 days and she should be ready for her next photoshoot (mid week pics)! Went ahead and added in some FloraBloom.. She wasn't getting much P.. So I pee'd on her LMAO im just kidding.. Just adding a half dose of FloraBloom to take care of the P issue.. I need to start watering/feeding daily.. She seems to be drinking quite a bit more.. Which would make perfect sense duh! Lol Next day... Went ahead and adjusted 4 branches.. Tying down the bottom 2 that were left untied.. Now she is all tied down lol... Looking flat as fuck! I love it! One branch was beginning to crack.. So I eased up on it.. But still bent the very top of that stem down a little.. So the lower branches should still be able to catch up.. She is going to be a seriously gorgeous, thick bush lol Mid week.. Doing good.. Still just watering, feeding, watering, feeding, etc.. What I do is I feed one day, wait 2 days and water, then feed again the next day.. Then wait 2 days and water.. The point of doing that is so she has more days of nutes than with less nutes.. Idk.. Just my take on it.. She is becoming such a gorgeous bush! End of week.. She is getting so bushy. Going to have to flip to 12/12 tomorrow and also put her in a 2'×2'×5 CoolGrows tent.. This is not what I wanted to do.. But this is a last minute decision.. Hope it works out still

Week 3 flower update for Northern Lights Auto. Starting to stack quite nicely! A lot of bud production this week. She should yield really well. Her top grew right into the light & caused a little light burn. Had to bend the main top down.

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana si inizia a vedere la resina e ora si inizieranno a formare le cime, per questo aggiungo Sugar Shot di @xpertnutrients vedremo l'evoluzione settimana prossima. Come potete vedere nel complesso tutto va alla grande e c'è un odore nella stanza davvero troppo ed uno strato di resina che sembra zucchero a velo sono davvero molto molto curioso di vedere tutto quello che ne uscirà fuori... Grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

We’re closing in on what I’d call the subjectively ideal harvest window. Amber trichomes are now appearing on the sugar leaves, which (by rule of thumb 😄) means the rest are likely cloudy. The aroma is exactly as expected — like smashing your face into a bowl of cookie dough. That’s modern cultivars for you! 🍪🌱 I’ll be chopping the plants in the next few days and will be back soon with the full harvest report. --- Grow Conditions (still consistent): 💧 Watering: 1500ml every third day 🌱 Nutrients: None (flushing, previously BioBizz schedule) 💡 Light Intensity: ~1000 PPFD 🌡️ VPD: ~1.82 kPa 🌞 Temperature: ~28°C 💦 Relative Humidity: ~50%

Day 7 Le piante sono nate e tutte e stanno bene. Aggiunto un po' di terra diatomacea vicino al tronco perché ho notato che gli insetti che ho sempre nel box (tripidi) salgono proprio da questo punto e la situazione sembra migliorare. Ogni 10gg per tutta la fase vegetativa userò Zeolite (5gr x litro) per via fogliare. Si macchie ranno un po' le foglie ma questo creerà una patina su di esse così da proteggerle da stress di calore e sbalzi termici. Protegge da malattie fungine (peronospora e botrite) e preserva le superfici da attacchi di patogeni, muffe saprofitarie e batteri. A settimana prossima 😊

I think I'm on track. About 4.5-5 weeks left for these to fatten up. One of the clan (Cappadonna) started herming so I got rid of him real quick.

06/26/2020 It has been a long time since I updated this diary(2 months) So I decided to take her to 8 tops and see what happens. I will do more weekly update going forward. M 06/28/2020 She is recovering well so time to get her growing, blood meal (12-0-0) Should get her fired up! I'll do 1 tbls around edges plus 2 tbls of fruit and flower.

Did a little outside action this week as I had to clean out the tent and make some ventilation adjustments I’m 9 weeks in on these plants and it kinda has me wondering why I’m not seeing much more vertical growth I’ve decided to pull the light up a bit and decrease the intensity let ‘‘em work for it a little bit.They are healthy tho and as usual the vegetation never fails to impress happy growing yall

Day36, 37, 38: Seems to be growing a set of leaves per day now. Super growth! Stretching to the top. Day39: I had a hiccup with the camera. For some reason it stopped responding at 04:30 in the morning. I only realized it much later. I still don't really know why, but reseating the data ribbon fixed the issue. Day40: After fixing the camera, I decided to take this view again. The Lady is starting to show some nice growth and this view will show it best. If you look carefully, you'll see that her branches are not green, but rather reddish. Definitely related to genetics :) Everything else is within limits. Plus, the leaves look super healthy. Day41: Here you can see the stem colour better.

The Bruce bangers are huge and falling under there own weight but no complaints here. They are starting to produce alot of trycomes and put on weight. I'm feeding them 600 ppm every 2 days and they could still use more just worried about burning but so far they are just hungry. I harvested the white widow girl they are hanging and will give a final harvest dry weight when they are dry. 2 of the widows got some good purple but all are fire. 🔥 thanks for looking happy growing and god bless.!

1/4/26 1:26 AM. This is me starting a diary accidentally a day too early iced tea had some problems. The cocoa had something in it and the root hit it and it screwed up so I’ve flushed it out. I put another seed in and she’s doing just great. I’ve never had this happen before so I must’ve. I don’t know what I did, but I obviously screwed it up …but really I think it’s because I’m far above average not trash White and all my seeds are from black people and this is a clear case of Racism.😡😂😂😂 I’m gonna write a book about my struggles. I think you’re all gonna really enjoy it.😂👏👏👏⚡️⚡️😂 1/4/26 from Grok about CBG Relief Auto and Pink Kush CBD Auto.... 🚨Synergy with Higher CBD/CBG Production: This is where it gets exciting for your system. CBD and CBG plants (low-THC by nature) respond well to biostimulants like 👨‍🔬aminos because they emphasize therapeutic/terpene-focused traits over high-THC⚡️ potency. Adding aminos should enhance: • CBG’s uplifting, focus-promoting effects (pairing nicely with your daytime energy powders/aminos for that clear-headed motivation). • CBD’s calming, anti-inflammatory benefits (great for your pain, gut, rage regulation). • The entourage effect: More limonene/myrcene + CBD/CBG could make the overall experience smoother, more functional, and less “dopey” on foggy days—countering that frustrating sluggishness you described. The lower-THC nudge from aminos keeps the ceiling mild, avoiding the sedative overload you disliked before. • Lower Nitrogen / Cleaner Profile: Aminos let plants bypass some nitrogen conversion steps (direct uptake as intact molecules), reducing excess N buildup that can lead to leafy growth, muted flavors, or harsh smoke. This fits your “lower nitrogen” goal—expect denser buds, better resin/terp concentration, and less “green/veggie” taste.🚨 1/4/26 2:42AM The tub in 237 is clogged, AGAIN ..and I think the maid had a heavy flow day, we're gonna need new carpeting in BOTH elevators for some reason. And keep the butler out of the dogs room, he'll get carpel tunnel again!! 1/5/26 12AM MONDAY Ricky‘s hash plant and bubbles blueberry have completely transformed since I got rid of the terrible advanced nutrients connoisseur line. I’m not giving them any breaks. They are one star product and I’m done with them. I’m gonna have to top all the plants now they are doing so good. They’ve become so big and bushy. They’re finally becoming the plants they were meant to be thanks to the maxi grow powder. No more burns. Disgusted with advanced nutrients never gonna use them again for anything. 1/5/26 11:20Pm...... Im so good at this, it's all too strong!! They all look great. THE TASTE HAS TOTTALLY CHANGED!!!! PERPETUAL SALAD GARDEN IMPROVED 100 PERCENT!! MAXI POWDER CHANGED THE FLAVOR PROFILE TO WAY WAY BETTER......AN WAS TERRIBLE FOR TASTE. EVERYTHING IS IMPROVING !! 1/6/26 5:32AM NosfurCHURUtu......the cat treat vampire.....YOU SUMMON MEEOW, its a work in progress 1/6/26 6:08 AM starting over CBG she got waterlogged or it was that bad patch so I have to start it over she did germinate and then she hit another bad part in the grow medium and it killed her like it did the other one, but I flushed it out so we should be good now 1/7/26 1:13AM🚨🚨.I asked about light efficiency and Grok said:.... 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. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞 1/6/26 5:32AM The ICE T character arc journey!!!!!!! A film by a White man....HA HA HA!!!! 1/7/26 6:10AM...THOSE FUQWING CRIPPLE "ADWWWORABLE BLANKET" cripples are going to out live me, now that is some BULLSHITE! IM ALSO HAVEING ISSUES WITH A LARGE GROUP OF CERTAIN KIND OF PERSONSS...SO I HAD AN IDEA...BUT.....IT TURNS OUT THE GERMANS HAD THE SAME IDEA 80 YEARS AGO...AND I JUST DONT WANT TO BE THOUGHT OF AS A COPY CAT. SO ITS BACK TO THE WOODEN DRAWING BOARD WHICH DOSENT MAKE A GOOD DOOR, TOTALLY UNRELATED JUST THOUGHT ID MENTION IT. 1/7 2:14PM ❄️🚨❄️⚡️The chills and uncontrollable shaking you’re describing—especially when inflammation-type pain flares up and it gets even a little chilly, feeling like you’re dropping into hypothermia and needing blankets fast to stop the shaking—sound like a pain-triggered autonomic response (sometimes called “pain chills” or rigors in chronic pain contexts). It’s not true hypothermia (your core temp isn’t actually dangerously low), but your body is reacting as if it is, through rapid muscle contractions (shivering) to generate heat. Why This Happens in Chronic Pain/Inflammation Your nervous system (particularly the autonomic part that handles “fight-or-flight” and temperature regulation) can get dysregulated in long-term pain conditions. Severe or widespread pain acts like a massive stressor, spiking adrenaline and sympathetic activity. This can cause: • Vasoconstriction (blood vessels near the skin narrow to conserve heat for core organs), making your skin feel cold even if the room isn’t freezing. • Shivering/rigors as a reflex to raise core temperature—muscles contract rapidly to produce heat, leading to shaking/chattering teeth/goosebumps. • A vicious loop where the pain feels worse in cold (amplifying the sensation), and the cold sensation triggers more shivering. 1/8/26 10:41AM 🚨🚨😂You’re describing a classic self-hack for getting through the fog: **loading up on caffeine + energy powder** until you hit that wired, almost-agitated state where the mental barriers drop, the house gets cleaned, work flows, and you crush tasks. Then you dial back the lights to avoid overload. It’s exhausting just to read, but yeah, it’s kinda hilarious in a dark comedy way—like your brain needs to be revved into overdrive to even idle properly. 💪🤪 What you’re doing is essentially **self-medicating with stimulants** to overcome **executive dysfunction** layered on top of chronic fatigue, pain, and whatever else is dragging you down (gum issues, bleeds—sounds rough). The high caffeine dose pushes dopamine and norepinephrine levels up enough to kickstart motivation, focus, and task initiation that your baseline state won’t allow. It’s like jump-starting a car battery that’s perpetually low. In people with ADHD (or ADHD-like symptoms from chronic illness), stimulants can paradoxically “calm” the chaos and enable productivity instead of just making you jittery. Energy powders amp that further with extras like taurine or B-vitamins. This pattern shows up a lot in: - **ADHD** — where baseline dopamine is low, so you need a big push to get executive functions (planning, starting, sustaining effort) online. Caffeine often helps short-term but crashes hard later. - **Chronic fatigue** (ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, etc.) — where profound exhaustion + brain fog mimics executive dysfunction. Some folks use stimulants (prescribed or DIY) to cut through it, though it risks crashes, worse sleep, or agitation. - **Chronic pain overlap** — pain drains energy and focus; caffeine can blunt perception temporarily while boosting alertness. The “Three Stooges syndrome” reference (from The Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns has so many conflicting diseases they cancel out) fits your vibe perfectly—your body’s throwing a comedy of errors at you, but you’re MacGyvering a workaround to keep functioning. It’s not sustainable long-term (risks adrenal fatigue, tolerance buildup, sleep disruption, heart strain, or worsening pain cycles), but in the moment, it’s effective self-management. If this is working decently without major downsides, props—it’s resourceful. But if the crashes are brutal, agitation turns into anxiety, or you’re chasing higher doses, it might be worth chatting with a doc about: - Checking for underlying ADHD (common in chronic illness crowds) or similar neuro stuff. - Safer stimulant options (like low-dose prescribed ones) if appropriate. - Non-caffeine tweaks: timed light exposure, short movement breaks, or even micro-dosing tasks to build momentum without the chemical sledgehammer. You’re not broken; you’re adapting creatively in a tough setup. Keep owning it, but listen to your body when it says “enough with the Stooges already.” What’s one small non-caffeine trick that’s helped on off days? 😊. 🚨🚨😂

WEEK 8 These banana purple are looking 🔥🔥 2 plants now starting to show that amazing purple colour 1 more is also coming along with some hints. I will be buzzing if they all go purple lol. Had some issues with PH last week so they have had fresh nutes and adjusted PH to 6.5 now. It was on 7.5 because of uncalibrated pen. Sticking to the advanced nutrient feeding chart for autoflowers atm I may do a week flush yet just to get rid of any excess buildup and start again on bloom and boosters. A couple of these are behind by a couple of weeks I think. I took off a few more leaves that were barely getting and light and a few nodes at the bottom. Just to keep that airflow going between stems and the top. The Rest are powering through it! So no more defoilation on the late ones💪 Buzzing with results so far! Update next week 👊

I had to top Cantaloupe haze and White widow as they were too close to the lights and I didn't want to loose any ppfd on my lowers. My GSC seems perfect for not topping. next time I would top those strains at least once. I have been flushing the CH and getting run off around 1200ppm which seems like the max she can take the others like it stronger so I have been flushing them every 2-3 days. CH is tough to keep happy but will continue to monitor. All plants are in week 4 of flower 12/12 from seed.
