Beginning of week.. I went up a tad on the nutes today.. And went down on the light power last week.. It was about 65% - 70% power which was quite a bit, I guess.. I put it at 50% power and she is finally starting to get some height to her.. I noticed more pistils toward the very top. I really hope she doesn't start flowering too soon.. I'd like to get some LST done on her. But she is happy and healthy! Next day... Even more pistils! Its been awhile since I grew an auto.. So I kinda forgot how early pistils can start poppin out but still be in veg (preflower). I just really wanna turn this girl into a flat bush! 10 mins later... Ok.. So looking back at my other autos.. This is pretty typical for them to start showing preflower this early.. She should still have 2 or 3 more weeks of veg with preflower! Mid week.. This is a day early.. But close enough.. 3rd week and growth is beginning to explode! The very first node's branches aren't really doing much.. Plus they are damn near to the ground.. I'm wondering if I should just remove them.. Maybe not yet.. But soon.. Or when I finally apply some LST. She is doing great!... No deficiencies.. No excesses.. Autoflowers are a trip! Can't wait to see what she looks like in another 7 days! I wanna try to do the entire grow without removing much, if anything.. But if this bottom branch doesnt start doing something.. I'm gonna have to remove it.. Its just bothering me way too much lol. Actually mid week.. SoI have been noticing a little bit of clawing and darkness.. BUT ONLY on the new growth.. As the leaves get older they seem to straighten out and lighten up a bit.. But I'm pretty sure it's nitrogen toxicity.. So I went down from .66mL/L to .33mL/L.. I use 3L to water daily.. So basically 1mL per feeding of all the base nutrients and the CalMag.. The Floralicious Plus has a bit of nitrogen too so I went down a tad on that as well. I read someone else's grow that says these girls are a bit sensitive to nitrogen.. So that's where I'm at now. Flushed this morning, and now for a small feed tomorrow morning. Will be updating with pics at the end of this week. Later that night.. Went ahead and flushed with just 2L of pH'd water.. Going in - pH: 6.3 PPM: 240.. Runoff - pH: 6.1 PPM: 640... So the PPM is still a bit high, but during the feed tomorrow, it should go down some still.. I should have ALOT of runoff tomorrow. I had the same amount I normally do when I use 3L just from these 2L.. Just cuz its 12 hours early.. The medium was still nice and moist.. And will still be in the AM for the next fertigation. Next day... Waking up this morning, I found that the oldest set of leaves that had been clawed cleared up.. For the most part.. Still dark asf.. But not as much clawing..the newest set were still clawed tho.. Which is understandable.. I made 3L of nutes.. Only used 2L in the AM.. Going in pH: 6.3.. PPM: 420... Runoff pH: 6.2.. PPM: 480... Not bad.. And I still have 1L left over which I am going to have to give her later today.. And will update with the runoff info also. Some say not to worry about the runoff pH.. But I think that is only because when people see it really low, they tend to give make the nutes waaay too high in order to combat the low runoff.. I just make my nutes 6.5 till ai see the runoff coming out at the area that works best for my grows.. Which is 6.2 or 6.3.. Let me explain why I use 6.2 to 6.3... My first 2 grows in coco I was using 5.8 to 6.0.. It worked well in veg but it was only during the transition and beginning of flower that I had calcium defeciency.. GWE website said that in hydroponics/coco that calcium is best absorbed at 6.3 or so.. So ever since I've just ran my girls at 6.2 or 6.3.. No lower, no higher.. The entire grow.. And haven't had any issues with deficiencies since! So that is MY sweet spot.. I may let it drift to 6.1 or 6.4.. But I try not to, for the most part. Later that night... I went ahead and did 1L of pH'd water first.. Then did the 1L of nutrient water.. Runoff came out at 420 PPM 6.2 pH... Nice... Also, I went ahead and ponytailed the top and pulled some of the longer branches on top of the fan leaves.. I'm only going to keep it ponytailed for the rest of the day (6 hours left of lights on).. Never tried this before, but with these super fat indica leaves blocking literally every branch.. I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. I may do it for another 6 hours tomorrow.. But I havent thought that far into it yet. I just want her and her branches to be long enough to begin some LST by the beginning of next week.. And already more than halfway through this week. Happy with the way things are going, for the most part... Almost end of week.. Ponytailed her again for another 6 hours this morning.. Just trying to give the side branches a little head start before the LST next week. End of week.. Welp.. I couldn't wait one more day to apply some LST.. I went ahead and did it today.. I also removed the bottom node, leaves and branches.. They were weak branches and I figured I could get them to take root and breed some seeds with them using Collidail Silver method! I really like how these branches have grown on this girl! It's like they already grew into a lollipop!!! Still only using the light at 50% power.. Which is helping keep the temps down a bit... Niceeee... I haven't defoliated anything (except the bottom node due to very weak branches and horrible looking leaves.. Which I'm guessing is because they were so low, possibly getting nutrient water on them during watering) but again, cloning those to breed with! She has completely exploded this week! Very happy with this girl! On to the next week!!!...

Partway through last week I noticed that there was no runoff after feedings. I increased the time the fertigation pump runs to 2 mins twice a day. It seems like either the root system is drinking up more or the added aeration has changed how much runoff comes out. Plant 1 has fallen behind in growth. The inter-nodal spacing was so tight that the new growth was being strangled by the older fan leaves and other growth. I adjusted the LST to help and pruned a very small amount of leaves. It seems to be doing better, but is several inches shorter than Zkittlez 2 which has had some really explosive growth. I started the scrog today, bending many of Zkittlez 2’s branches down to fill out the tent. I bent a few branches on Zkittlez 1, but it’s still a little short. This week I upped the nutrients, almost doubling the Cocos A & B, Multizen and Cal Mag. I still tried to keep EC down though, only allowing it to rise by about 300mS/cm. This could actually be the first week of flower, but think I’ve started to spot some pistils, but I’m not sure. I can’t find the breeder’s info, but think it’s supposed to have a 4 week veg time and 10 week flowering period. Update: lots of pistils being thrown out especially from Zkittlez 2. It’s definitely the first week of flower. There has been a lot of growth since the start of the week. I continued to bend branches down and tuck them under the net, but now that buds are really starting to take shape I'm going to lay of any further stressing. I noticed that there was little runoff over the past couple days. Yesterday (Monday) I had to refill the reservoir and mix up new nutrients because there was only an inch of water left. These girls have gotten a lot thirstier over the past 2 weeks. I've upped the feeding times to 3 minutes twice a day.

Mid week last week I cut down the inferior PGC. I needed some and it looked done and wasn’t responding to water really. Anyway the buds looked good and get me kinda high. About 1oz smokable buds. This was in 2 gal so not very big. Curing will help. I pressed some into rosin at about day 6 of drying and turned out pretty well. The plant still alive is much better imo and buds should be fire , prob won’t press it

Harvested the haze and cookies.. poor outcome.. lessons learned. PW going good but not ready for harvest i reckon.

Moin, Die 5. Blütewoche ist fast vorbei und die Hitze ist kaum noch zu kompensieren. Trotzdem zeigt die White Sweet Candy OG wie stabil sie ist, die Blütenbildung geht in beirrt weiter. War der Geruch letzte Woche noch wenig süß und größtenteils etwas piney eher nach eingelegten Gurken riechen, was mich stark an eine White Widow erinnerte, die ich Anfang letzten Jahres gegrowt habe, ist er mittlerweile von einer merklichen süßen Note begleitet. Insgesamt würde ich es als Mischung aus einer süß-würzigen Fementation. Wir befinden uns aber auch erst Mitte der Blüte und da wird noch deutlich mehr an Komplexität dazu kommen, da bin ich mich sicher. Das einzige was diese Woche an wirklich Arbeit angefallen ist, war der Tausch der Tropfer da einer von den 4 verstopft war für Ersatz war schon gesorgt und solange wurde die White Sweet Candy OG 1x täglich zusätzlich per Hand gegossen sodass genug Drain in die Wanne unter dem Drainmaster läuft. Dieser Strain hat wirklich das Potenzial einer meiner liebsten Sorten zu werden. Hey, The fifth week of flowering is almost over, and the heat is becoming almost unbearable. Still, the White Sweet Candy OG is proving just how stable it is and flowering continues unabated. While last week the scent was still only slightly sweet and mostly a bit piney, smelling more like pickled cucumbers which strongly reminded me of a White Widow I grew early last year. It’s now accompanied by a noticeable sweet note. Overall, I’d describe it as a blend of sweet and spicy notes. But we’re only halfway through flowering, and I’m sure there will be significantly more complexity to come. The only real work I had to do this week was replacing the drippers, since one of the four was clogged. I already had a replacement on hand, and in the meantime, I watered the White Sweet Candy OG by hand once a day to ensure enough water drained into the tray beneath the Drainmaster. I love this strain so far!

just a wet papertowel in a plastic bag for one day then after one day into a germination type of thin from rqs 5x Fat banana Auto Left side 3x Bubble Kush Auto Right Side

- Day 65 (Oct 3) Rose PPM to 1150 by adding another 3 X 8 mL of MGB and 5 mL of Big Bud and topped off 2 liters of water - Day 66 (Oct 4) topped off 2.5 liters of water with 3 X 10 mL of MGB and 6 mL of Big Bud - Day 67 (Oct 5) topped off 2 liters of plain water. PH is corrected PPM measured as 1150 - Day 68 (Oct 8) Topped off with 3 liters of water. Ph was fine. First amber trichomes observed - Day 73 (Oct 13) Topped off with water. PPM is around 900. Thats the max the plant asks for.

25/Aug Another week passed by and she is filling up the net slowly. All green and lush enjoying the notnao cool breeze from the fan. I hope the temp will drop a bit next week. Will let me increase the wattage

Growing

I think they got one more week left

Is going well.^^

10/27 end of week 2. hopefully smaller one doesnt wobble off the bricks.

Today is day 36. I had to tie up some branch’s this morning. The colas have been slowly leaning in every direction, and I wanted to get them back standing straight in the light.i will flush her for a few days seems last batch of nutes burned her a little. I also believe there is to much nitrogen in her roots as some leaves have started to yellow up top. This is just my opinion from what I have been reading. I know Leaves will yellow during flowering, but from my understanding it is usually is the lower leaves. Any feed back would be appreciated.

On day 1 I transplanted 2 BB clones into 3 gal smart pots with coco coir. I watered them in with veg formula and set up my blumat watering system with week 1 flower nutes. I raised PPFD to 600-700. On day 2 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.4 to 6.0. The rez is 823 ppm. The tops are 16.5" from the grow light. The blumats have not started watering yet and I will monitor to ensure it goes smoothly. I have the blumats set at 1.25 carrots on left plant and 1 carrot on right plant. The average PPFD of my 16 tops is 703 PPFD. I increased temps to 85 day 81 night to get leaf surface around 80 f during day. On day 3 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. The rez is 782 ppm. The blumats have started watering and I will monitor closely over the next few days. On day 4 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.3 to 6.1. The rez is 717ppm. On day 5 the reservoirs PH is steady at 6.1. The rez is 706 ppm. The highest top is 15.25" from the light. I defoliated to bring in more air and light to deeper into the canopy. I increased the flow rate of blumat by .5 carrot on the right plant as it was a little to dry for my liking. The Clones are preforming well. On day 6 the reservoir PH is going down so I adjusted up from 6.0 to 6.2. The rez is 730 ppm. The highest cola is 14.75" from the light. The left plant had a runaway so I reduced blumat by 1 carrot. I increased flow of blumat on right plant by .5 carrot as it is still drier than I would like. On day 7 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.3 to 6.0. The highest cola is 14.25". I reset rez with nutes.

steretching is done no she just needs to fill in now 3 to 4 more weeks till shell be done. crossing my fingers the roots dont push the top can off hopefully the roots are finished stretching also She is doing very well drinking all water every six hours when in the light and doesnt drink it till 12 hrs in dark

Day 84. She’s so heavy and stinky like chai tea bubblegum. She’s starting her dark period ice flush for the last 5-7 days. I can’t wait to see her ripen up. She’s soooo freaking heavy when I take her off the yo-yo hangers she just flops Down like a a wilted sunflower 🌻😂 I can’t wait to watch her finish

🌿 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B The Small-Pot Experiment That Keeps Proving Me Wrong 😂👑🔥🌸 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And... Guess what? 😂😂😂 MY INCREDIBLY STUPID IDEA IS STILL STUPID. Yes. The small-pot experiment. The brilliant idea that somehow went through my head: "Let's put her in a smaller pot. Maybe she'll stay smaller." 😂😂😂😂😂 Well... NO. Apparently not. This girl looked at my 11-litre pot and basically said: "That's cute." 😂👑🌿 And then she continued growing. And growing. And growing. And growing. Until here we are... Week 13... and I'm still doing significantly more work with this girl than with most of the room. Not because she's difficult. Not because she's unhealthy. Not because something is wrong. Quite the opposite. She's thriving. She's cruising. She's growing beautifully. She's shining. She's bulking. She's developing. She's doing absolutely fucking fantastic. The problem? She's demanding. VERY demanding. 😂💦😂 She wants water. Then she wants more water. Then she apparently looks at me and says: "Are we done?" "No." 😂 "More." 😂😂😂 So here I am... trying to keep up with this little-pot monster while the rest of the room is basically cruising along. And honestly? I don't mind the work. I LOVE the work. But this? This is unnecessary work. 😂😂😂 Because apparently putting a big-growing plant into a small pot does not make the plant small. It simply makes the grower work harder. Lesson learned. 😂🌱📚 So let's give this beautiful, demanding, absolutely ridiculous girl the spotlight. Because she deserves it. 👑🌿🔥🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 13 – THE SMALL POT THAT REFUSES TO MAKE HER SMALL At this point, I think we've officially proven the theory. 😂 Small pot does not automatically equal small plant. At least not with this girl. She's still growing. She's still getting bigger. She's still developing. She's still building. And somehow... she continues to look like she would happily occupy a 25-litre pot. Or maybe even the ground. 😂😂😂 Honestly? I have no idea where she would stop. Maybe she'd just keep going. Maybe she'd eventually ask me for a greenhouse. 😂👑🌿 Because the 11-litre pot clearly isn't convincing her that she should be small. She's simply using what space she has and making the absolute most of it. And now I'm paying the price for my experiment every time I have to keep up with her water demand. 😂💦 But looking at her? I can't even be annoyed. She's beautiful. ──────────────────────── 💦 THE THIRSTY LITTLE MONSTER Let's talk about the real story of this week. Water. 😂💦😂💦😂 This girl is demanding. Demanding. Demanding. And then... demanding some more. The rest of the room? Cruising. This girl? Also cruising. But apparently she's cruising with the accelerator pressed down. 😂👑 She's using what she's given. She's continuing to grow. She's continuing to build. She's continuing to develop. And because she's doing so much from such a relatively small container, I'm constantly having to keep an eye on her and keep up with what she's asking for. It's almost like she's looking at that 11-litre pot and thinking: "You gave me limited space. Fine. I'll just drink more." 😂😂😂 Honestly... I respect the attitude. ──────────────────────── 😂 THE 11-LITRE POT REGRET CONTINUES Let's revisit my decision. Because apparently I haven't suffered enough yet. 😂 The idea was simple: Small pot. Smaller plant. Less work. Right? WRONG. 😂😂😂 The reality: Small pot. Big plant. More frequent attention. More water demand. More support. More work. More standing in front of her asking: "Why the hell are you still getting bigger?" 😂👑🌿 So if anyone is keeping notes from this adventure... please write this down: **DogDoctor's Small Pot Theory** ❌ Small pot = small plant Apparently not. Instead: ❌ Small pot = less work Also apparently not. What I actually got was: 🌱 Big plant 💦 Big thirst 🌸 Big flowers 👑 Big personality 😂 Big workload And honestly? It's fucking hilarious. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE'S GROWING LIKE SHE'S IN NATIVE SOIL This is the part that really gets me. Look at her. Seriously. Look at her. 😂 If I didn't know she was sitting in an 11-litre pot, I wouldn't necessarily guess that from looking at the plant. She keeps growing as if she's been given a much larger root zone. Sometimes I look at her and think: "What if I had put you in 25 litres?" 😂 And then another thought: "What if I had just put you in the ground?" 😂😂😂 I genuinely don't know what would have happened. Maybe she'd still be asking for more water. Maybe I'd be standing outside with a hosepipe thinking: "Okay girl, that's enough now." 😂🌿💦 But that's the fascinating part. She's showing us what this phenotype wants to do. And apparently... what she wants to do is GROW. ──────────────────────── 👑 THE PLANT IS IN CHARGE At this point, I have officially accepted my role. 😂 I'm not the boss. I'm the provider. I'm the hands. I'm the guy standing there making sure she gets what she needs when she asks for it. 😂🌿 She's basically the boss of the operation. And I'm just here like: "Yes, Your Majesty." 👑 "More water?" "Yes, Your Majesty." 💦 "More support?" "Yes, Your Majesty." 😂 "More space?" "Sorry, Your Majesty. That's where we fucked up." 😂😂😂 The plant doesn't care about my original plan. She doesn't care about my small-pot theory. She doesn't care that the rest of the room is cruising. She's doing what she wants. And my job is simply to support that. And honestly? That's one of the beautiful things about growing. You can make the plan. But the plant gets the final vote. ──────────────────────── 🌸 STILL BUILDING – STILL SHINING And despite all the jokes... she really is beautiful. She's still growing. She's still developing her flowers. She's still building. She's still showing that dense, substantial structure we've been following. And she's becoming more impressive week after week. She's not simply sitting there waiting for the end. She's still actively doing her thing. And that's why I'm not worried about the few leaves beginning to yellow. There are some minor yellowing leaves appearing. And yes... we're getting closer to the later stages. But I'm looking at the whole plant. I'm looking at the flowers. I'm looking at her development. I'm looking at her overall appearance. And I'm not seeing something that makes me panic. She's moving toward where she needs to go. Naturally. Gradually. In her own way. And that's perfectly fine. ──────────────────────── 🍃 A FEW YELLOWING LEAVES – AND I'M NOT PANICKING This deserves a little mention because I know somebody will notice it. 😂 Yes. There are a few leaves starting to yellow. And honestly? I'm not worried. We're getting further into the flowering cycle. The plant is changing. Some foliage is beginning to show signs of aging. And that's part of the journey. I'm watching it. I'm not ignoring it. But I'm also not inventing a crisis where there isn't one. The plant overall looks beautiful. She's developing. She's building. She's getting closer to the later stages. So I'm simply observing. No panic. No unnecessary intervention. No dramatic: "OH MY GOD, A YELLOW LEAF!" 😂😂😂 One yellowing leaf doesn't get to cancel the entire beautiful plant. We're watching the whole picture. And the whole picture looks damn good. ──────────────────────── 🌸 DENSE, COMPACT AND STILL GETTING BIGGER One of the things I really love about this girl is that she's not simply growing tall for the sake of being tall. She's becoming substantial. The flowers are dense. The structures are compact. The plant is filling itself out. And she's doing it while continuing to increase in size. It's almost like she's found the cheat code: "Why choose between size and density?" 😂👑🌿 I'll just have both. And that's exactly what we're seeing. A plant that's substantial in overall structure... with dense, compact flowering sites... and enough growth to keep the grower permanently occupied. 😂💦 She's definitely one of those plants where the photographs don't always tell the whole story until you step back and look at the entire structure. Then you realize: "Oh..." She's actually fucking big. 😂👑 ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA STILL LOVES HER And honestly, I love photographing this girl. Because every week there's something new to see. The overall plant. The main structures. The side branches. The flowers. The leaves. The details. The architecture. And now... the yellowing leaves beginning to appear here and there as she moves toward the later stages. All of those little details become part of the story. That's why I love keeping these weekly diaries. We're not simply trying to produce a final photograph of a finished plant. We're documenting the journey. And this girl's journey has been hilarious. 😂 From: "Let's put her in a small pot." To: "Why the fuck is she still getting bigger?" 😂😂😂 And now: "Please, girl... just finish when you're ready because I'm getting tired of watering you." 😂💦👑 ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM – SAME PHOTONS – HER OWN RESPONSE And once again... she's sharing the exact same room as everybody else. Same 8×8. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same nutritional foundation. Same overall care. And yet... look at her. This is another beautiful example of why the 8×8 Adventure is so interesting. The environment provides the common stage. The genetics decide what happens on that stage. The same photons hit the canopy. Different plants respond differently. Different structures. Different speeds. Different flower formation. Different water demand. Different personalities. And this girl? She's basically saying: "Give me the photons. I'll take care of the rest." 😂☀️🌿👑 ──────────────────────── ☀️ THE FUTURE OF GROW LIGHTING UPGRADE The expanded lighting setup remains part of the room. Two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still giving us additional lighting capability. We're not simply running everything at maximum output. We're controlling the setup around: 🔌 ~59% power from the plug With approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy naturally varying according to canopy position and height. And this girl is certainly making use of it. She's growing. She's developing. She's building. She's shining. And she's giving us another example of how different genetics can respond to the same lighting environment. A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying those additional fixtures and allowing us to test them here in the 8×8 Adventure. More capability. More control. More photons. And twelve different stories. ──────────────────────── 🌿 I'M NOT FIGHTING HER ANYMORE I've officially surrendered. 😂 She wins. The small-pot experiment? She won. My theory? Destroyed. 😂😂😂 So now I'm simply accepting reality. She's going to grow. She's going to demand water. She's going to keep developing. And I'm going to keep providing what she needs. That's the relationship. 😂🌱 I'm not trying to make her smaller. I'm not trying to force her into a shape. I'm not trying to punish her for ignoring my original plan. I'm simply letting her be herself. And honestly? That's much more enjoyable. Because when you stop trying to make the plant fit your expectations... you can actually appreciate what the plant is showing you. And this girl is showing us something beautiful. ──────────────────────── 💦 THE WORKLOAD IS RIDICULOUS – BUT I LOVE IT Now... I want to make one thing very clear. I'm complaining. 😂 But I'm not really complaining. I love the work. I love taking care of the plants. I love being in the room. I love checking them. I love watering them. I love watching them change. I love documenting them. So this isn't: "OH GOD, I HAVE TO WORK." 😂 It's more: "WHY DID I CREATE UNNECESSARY WORK FOR MYSELF?" 😂😂😂 There's a difference. I don't mind the work. I just don't necessarily understand why I voluntarily made the workload harder by putting a plant like this into a small pot. 😂👑 But that's part of learning. And I'll gladly take the lesson. ──────────────────────── 🧠 THE 8×8 ADVENTURE KEEPS TEACHING This is exactly why I love this project. Every plant teaches something. Every phenotype gives us another observation. Every decision has consequences. Sometimes those consequences are exactly what we expected. Sometimes they're not. And sometimes... you end up with an 11-litre pot containing a plant that behaves like she belongs in 25 litres or native soil. 😂🌿 That's the fun. We're not pretending everything is perfect. We're documenting reality. The good decisions. The questionable decisions. The surprises. The lessons. The successes. The mistakes. And everything in between. And this girl? She's one of the funniest lessons in the entire room. ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE DESERVES THE SPOTLIGHT Because despite all my complaining... look at her. She's beautiful. She's healthy-looking. She's growing. She's shining. She's developing. She's getting bigger. She's still building. And she's absolutely doing what she wants. 😂👑🌿 So yes... the spotlight belongs to her. Not because she's the biggest plant in the room. Not because she's the fastest. Not because she's the easiest. Actually... definitely NOT because she's the easiest. 😂😂😂 She deserves it because she's one of the most entertaining plants in this entire adventure. She surprised me. She challenged my assumptions. She made me work. And she's still giving me beautiful results in return. That's a pretty good relationship. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? Hopefully... the finish line. 😂😂😂 I'm not going to put a deadline on her. I'm not going to pretend I know exactly how long she'll take. But I will say this: Girl... whenever you're ready... please consider finishing. 😂💦👑 Because you're giving me work. A LOT of work. And while I love the work... this particular workload was entirely self-inflicted. 😂😂😂 So we'll continue watching. We'll continue supporting. We'll continue providing what she needs. We'll continue observing the flowers. We'll continue watching those few yellowing leaves. And we'll let her decide when she's ready to move into the final chapter. No rushing. No forcing. Just observation. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – THE PLANT THAT REFUSED TO BE SMALL Week 13. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B. And I think we can officially say: The small-pot experiment failed. 😂😂😂 Not because the plant failed. Because the plant completely ignored the premise. 😂👑🌿 I thought: Small pot = smaller plant. She said: "Watch me." 😂 And now she's here. Big. Beautiful. Dense. Compact. Demanding. Thirsty. Still growing. Still shining. Still developing. Still making me work. 😂💦 She's drinking. She's asking for more. She's using everything available to her. And she's continuing to grow as if the 11-litre pot is merely a suggestion. Maybe 25 litres would have been more appropriate. Maybe native soil. Maybe I should have just given her a field. 😂😂😂 Who knows? What I do know is this: She's beautiful. And I'm incredibly happy with what she's showing us. The few yellowing leaves don't scare me. She's moving toward the later stages. She's beginning to transition naturally. She's still building. She's still doing her thing. And we're simply here to provide what she needs. I'm her provider. Her caretaker. Her hands. Her water delivery service. 😂💦👑 Whatever you want to call it. She's the one running the show. And I'm perfectly happy with that. So let's give this beautiful, demanding, ridiculous little-pot Queen the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching her. Let's keep supporting her. Let's keep watering her when she asks. And let's see if she finally decides to finish before I have to start charging her rent. 😂😂😂👑🌿 She's not little. She never was. She's simply living in a small pot. And apparently... she has absolutely no intention of letting that stop her. 👑🌿🌸💎☀️🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 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 everything from the beautiful moments to the completely questionable decisions. 😂 Thank you to Zamnesia for the Amnesia Haze genetics and for giving us this incredible phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the room with the growing media and nutrition throughout this adventure. 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. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment 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 thank you to this girl too... for teaching me that apparently an 11-litre pot is not a reliable way to convince Amnesia Haze Pheno B to stay small. 😂😂😂👑 We learn. We evolve. We adapt. And we keep growing. This 8×8 Adventure continues to show us twelve plants... one room... one shared environment... and twelve completely different stories. And this girl's story? It's one of the funniest. One of the most demanding. One of the most surprising. And one of the most beautiful. She keeps growing. She keeps shining. She keeps asking for water. And I keep showing up. 😂💦🌿 That's the deal. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching those beautiful flowers. Let's keep supporting her. And let's see when this demanding little Queen finally decides: "Okay... I'm done." 😂👑🌸 Until then... I'll be here. Watering. Watching. Documenting. Learning. And wondering why the hell I thought a smaller pot would make my life easier. 😂😂😂 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 Happy growing, take care everyone... and I'll see you next week in the 8×8 jungle. Where some girls are cruising... some girls are taking the scenic route... and Amnesia Haze Pheno B? She's cruising too... but apparently she's cruising directly through my water reservoir. 😂💦👑🌿🔥 See you next week! 🌱📸💚

8/27 I think I mightve been overwatering. It's so hard to tell when the conditions change week to week. That's Maine for ya. Bags were still heavy and plants were soaked. I tried to shake the more advanced flowering plants without sending water everywhere. That's how septoria spreads. The event horizon I treated with plant doctor looks the best it ever has. It's tile for another application on the toasted toffy. I'm seeing a few spots again. I didn't have time to take pictures or do a video. This video is from last night. I'll treat that toasted toffy again today and I'll record it here. After I see it working u may treat the others. I see some residue of k bicarb but it has pretty much eradicated the pm. I know it will always be there but these treatments seem to be working. I'll be adding beastie bloom to my line up soon. EVERYDAY I go over the buds are bigger more compact and dense. Event horizon, toasted toffy and the red runtz (I think) in the 50 are flowering to beat hell! The get bigger everytime I see them. I can smell them as soon as I round the corner. This is going to be a good year. These strainsxare high in thc. Maybe I gave up some mold resistance and a harder to grow strain but if I can make it to the end it will be fire. WENT BACK OVER AROUND 5. OBVIOUSLY IN THIS SCORCHING 80°+ day the seedling in the 10 was dry as a popcorn fart. Some other plants seemed dry when I stuck my arm down the bag but I could feel some moisture when I pushed my finger through the medium. They WILL need water but I'm not giving it to them tonight. Took a shit ton if pictures and a video this morning. I'll uploadcthat shit tomorrow. I'm trying to do a couple right now. Anyway I continued to defoliate what needs it. Flowers are swelling. I GAVE THE TOASTED TOFFY ITS 2ND TREATING OF PLANT DOCTOR. I USED A QTR GALLON OF A 4 TSP PER GALLON MIXTURE. I MADE SURE TO GET AS MUCH OF THE FOLIAGE AS POSSIBLE AND THEN I USED THE RESTCON THE MEDIUM. I SHOULDVE PROBABLY WATERED THAT ONE BUT ITS GOING TO RAIN TONIGHT. AT LEAST I HOPE IT IS. Looks like some of the pics are uploading! Yay! The plants looked the best I've ever seen them tonight so I held off watering. My wife is I'll and may need to go to the hospital. So instead of watering prematurely I can monitor the situation and make a decision in the morning. I made enough phed water for my father to go around and water everything. He is aware of the situation. Hopfully that will not be necessary. However, I don't want to over water and I feel like they didn't want it. Just going with my intuition. It's done me pretty good so far. 8/28 Luckily no hospital. It's sprinkling out. Plants are covered in water so we got SOME rain. It says we will get 0.00 but that can't be right. I watered the 10 yesterday and everything else this morning with a gallon each except the middle gmo in the 30 which got 1.5 gallons. Did not water the one in the 50 gal pot. It looks a little overwatered. Also looks like it has a slight calcium/magnesium deficiency. I'll up the calmag and i'll make sure when I do water I'll water thoroughly. Like usual toasted toffy is looking better after the treatment. The all star has been the k bicarb. I haven't seen shit for pm. Just a little residue from the k-bicarb. Took a video and some pictures. This is the fun time. I like watching the buds develop. Some of these plants were monster cropped so they are STACKED. I'll keep what I do updated. 8/29 Made an awesome video today bit it won't upload. Probably because its a little over 2 minutes. I'll do another one if it won't upload. Nope it won't even attempt to upload it now. Oh well. They flowers just looked so pretty this morning. I noticed some WPM on the event horizon in the middle. I noticed SOME on the bottom and interior of the GMO that I had already identified. I'll do another k-bicarb treatment and see how that goes. Plant Doctor seems to he doing a pretty good job on the septoria on toastedctoffy and my favorite event horizon. That plantvis THICK. it's going to be stacked and have some huge colas. I need to LST it and suppirt those giant colas and separate them a bit more. There is never any shortage of work to be done I can tell you that. I have defoliation to do on the sherb pie and the middle event horizon. It seems like crisis after crisis. Bu my plants are STRONG. 8/30 It was in the 40s at 6am. Shook off the plants. Bags are still heavy. I see some septoria climbing a bottom branch of the toasted toffy. It's foggy as hell out. Can't see a foot in front of me. Saw a LITTLE PM on the gmo I've been treating. It's just time to apply the ki bicarb. Plant Doctor is working wonders on even horizon in the back. I see some pm on the one in the middle. I think I'll treat that with plant doctor as well. I'm not sure. I messed up the video. I've got work to do. I'm waiting until I water and I'll feed again. I'm going to add beastie bloom to the lineup this time I think. Only one plant seems like it m9ght be too early for it. We'll see. I need to look back. I'll document what I do. Video won't upload. I'll try later but it's sideways WENT OVER AROUND 3PM AND EVERYTHING LOOKED FABULOUS. WELL....THE PLANT I DIDNT WATERCLAST TIME IN THE 50 WAS DROOPING SO I GAVE IT A GALLON AND A HALF. THE TEN WAS LIGHT SO I GAVE IT A GALLON. IT WASNT DROOPY BUT ITS A HUGE PLANT IN A 10GAL AND USES A LOT OF WATER. I WAS PLANNING TO GO CHECK THEM TONIGHT AND SEE IF THEY NEEDED WATER BUT EVERYTHING IS PRAYING TO THE SUN! I DONT WANT TO OVERWATER AND I BELIEVE THESE WOULD BE BEST SUITED TO BE WATERED IN TGE MORNING. ILL FEED THIS TIME AS WELL. IM CONSIDERING ANOTHER APP OF K BICARB. TOOK A FEW PICTURES AND VIDEOS BUT ILL NEED TO UPLOAD 8/31 FED AND WATERED EVERYTHING. TOASTED TOFFY DIDNT GET FED DUE TO SEPTORIA AND THE 10 ISNT FAR ENOUGH ALONG.. THE 50 WAS WATERED YESTERDAY BUT GOT THE FEED WITH A LITTLE MORE WATER THIS MORNING. I ADDED ABOUT 1/16 TSP BEASTUE BLOOM TO THE REGULAR LINEUP TO SEE HOW IT GOES. MY BUDDY TOLD ME LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PM. I WENT BACK OVER TO DEFOLIATE AND LOOK FOR PM AND I FOUND IT. ON THE GMO INTETIOR AND SOME BOTTOM BRANCHES. I DEFOLIATED WHAT WAS BAD AND THEN I SPRAYED 3 GMO'S, EVENT HORIZON IN THE MIDDLE AND SHERB PIE WITH K-BICARB. HOPFULLY THAT WILL KEEP THINGS OUT OF CONTROL. I WILL BE WATCHING AND KEEPING UP WITH FUNGACIDES. IF I FIND ONE NOT WORKING ILL SWITCH IT UP. I HAVE A FEW OPTIONS. BUDS ARE EXPLODING IN GROWTH! WINDY OUT. I SAW A SECONDARY BRANCH LIMP AND MY GEART SUNK. I LOOKED DOWN THOUGH AND SAW THAT IT JUST WAS BLOWN HATD AGAINST THE TOMATO CAGE AND SNAPPED. I REMOVED IT WITB A SIGH OF RELIEF. MY BUDDY SAYS THE SEPTORIA DOESNT LOOK TO BAD AND ITS PRETTY FAR IN FLOWER SO HE THINKS ILL BE ALRIGHT. NEVER GROWING CLONES AGAIN. ILL STICK TO SEEDS AND STEAINS MADE FOR MAINES 9/1 Forgot to write an entry. IT RAINED FOR A BIT BUT TURNED TO BRIGHT 80'S 9/2 WATERED EVERYTHING. I THINK ITS TIME FOR ANOTHER TREATMENT OF PLANT DOCTOR TODAY. The septoria is getting a little worse. The buds are swelling everyday though. I think this plant only has a month left. I just need to outrun it. So far so good. I think my watering habits are better now. It's different depending on weather. Potassium bicarb has been wonderful treating the pm on that gmo. I treated the middle event horizon with it as well. It seems to work awesome. I'm losing tons of leaves. I hope that's normal senescence. I think it is seeing as how I see SOME foliage in the woods. Its matching other diaries. The plant must shed some leaves to make these flowers that seem to double in size every time I see them! Trying to upload a couple videos but they are long so we'll see what happens. WENT BACK OVER AT NIGHT ANDCAPPLIED A LITTLE BIT OF K BICARB AND DEFOLIATED WHAT I SAW ON THAT GMO. IVE BEEN DEFOLIATING WHAT SEEMS LIKE A LOT BUT BUDS ARE SWELLING AND ITS CONGRUENT WITH THE MAJORITY OF MY DIARIES. I WISH I HAD PERFECT CONDITIONS BUT I DONT. I TREATED THE EVENTHORIZON WITH PLANT DOCTOR AGAIN. I USED APPROX A QTR GALLON OF 2 TSP/GALLON AND TRIED TO AVOID BUDS WHILE STILL GETTING THE LEAVES. I KINDA USED THE REST AS A SQUALCH SINCE I HAD WATERED THIS MORNING. THE WIND WAS STRONG. I ADDED A GARDEN STAKE AND ROPE SUPPORT TO THE TOASTED TOFFY AND ATTACHED IT RIGHT TO THE FRAME OF THE CAGE. LOOKS GOOD FOR NOW. ILL KEEP THINGS UPDATED.

She is doing well. I have only done a solution change. Will be switching to flowering next update. She is in a New Level Hydro bucket, under a Spider Farmer SE5000 light.
