💚 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 9 | The Tiny Pot That Refuses to Be Tiny 🌱💚 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! I think we have reached the point where I have to officially admit something. This girl is ridiculous. 😂 Not the plant. The pot. She's standing there, proud and tall, at around 135 cm, carrying herself like a perfectly respectable flowering plant... while sitting in only 11 litres of soil. Eleven. Litres. At this point, every time I look at her container, I honestly wonder: Where the hell are all those roots? 😂 Because whatever is happening inside that little pot... it's working. And working hard. 🌱 The Smallest Pot Is Still the Biggest Surprise When we started this experiment, the 11-litre container was something I was genuinely curious about. Most of the other plants in this room are sitting in larger containers. Pheno B got the little one. And I wanted to see what would happen. Well... Now I know. Apparently, what happens is: The plant doesn't care. 😂 She's not behaving like a plant restricted by a tiny container. She's not behaving like a plant struggling to support a large canopy. She's not behaving like a little plant at all. She's behaving like a plant that has decided: "That's my pot. That's enough. Now give me water." And then asks again. And again. 💧 The Thirsty Girl This is probably the characteristic that has fascinated me the most. This little pot is demanding attention. As she continues growing and flowering, her water consumption has become something I simply can't ignore. I'm having to irrigate her twice a day to keep up with what she's demanding. Think about that for a second. An 11-litre pot. A plant around 135 cm tall. And she's drinking as if she's sitting in a much larger root zone. That's what makes this phenotype so interesting. The container is small. The plant isn't. And the appetite certainly isn't. 😂💚 🔬 What Is Happening Down There? Of course, I can only speculate about what is happening inside the substrate. But looking at the plant's behaviour, one thing seems very clear: That little container is being used. The plant is maintaining a large canopy. She's continuing to flower. She's maintaining strong, healthy foliage. And she's demanding frequent irrigation. That makes me wonder just how extensively that small volume of substrate has been colonized by roots. I can almost picture it down there: No empty seats. No vacancy. Fully booked. Roots everywhere. 😂🌱 And that's probably one of the most valuable lessons this phenotype has given me. Container volume is important... but it isn't the only story. 🌿 Small Pot. Big Plant. This is the part that still makes me smile. If you showed me the plant without showing me the pot, I would never guess she was growing in only 11 litres. She's tall. She's beautifully structured. She's carrying plenty of healthy foliage. And the flowering sites continue developing throughout the plant. She doesn't look like a plant that is apologizing for her root volume. Quite the opposite. She looks confident. She looks established. She looks like she owns the place. And then you look down... 11 L. 😂 It's almost like growing a clone in a Solo Cup... except somebody forgot to tell the plant that she's supposed to stay small. 🌸 Flowering Continues While the container story is hilarious, the flowers are the real reason we're watching her. And she's continuing to progress beautifully. The flowering sites are becoming more established, the structure is becoming increasingly defined, and the plant is moving deeper into the flowering cycle with plenty of healthy green still supporting the development. The photographs this week show that progression nicely. There is a beautiful contrast between the mature foliage and the developing flowers. The pistils remain prominent. The flowers continue building. And the plant still has that characteristic balance that made me interested in this phenotype from the beginning. She's not trying to be her sister. She's doing her own thing. And she's doing it very well. 🍃 Still Lush. Still Proud. One of the things I really appreciate about this girl is that the small pot hasn't stopped her from looking like a proper, healthy plant. She's still lush. She's still green. She's still vigorous. She's still producing. And she's still standing proud. There are no apologies here. No: "Sorry, I'm in the small pot." No. She's more like: "Yes, I'm in the small pot. And?" 😂 That's the personality of Pheno B. ✂️ No Need to Turn Her Into Someone Else I'm continuing to look at her as an individual phenotype rather than comparing her to what another plant might be doing. That's been one of the biggest lessons of this entire 8×8 Adventure. The plants don't read the manual. They don't care what the other phenotypes are doing. And they certainly don't care what we think they should look like. Pheno B has created her own balance. She's developed her own architecture. She's found her own rhythm. So my job is simply to observe, document and respond to what she actually shows me. And right now... she's showing me a very healthy, very hungry little giant. 💧 The Root-Zone Lesson This girl has also changed the way I think about small containers. Not because I suddenly believe that small pots are better. Quite the opposite. If anything, this experiment has shown me how much more attention a small root volume can demand. A smaller container gives you less buffering capacity. Less room for water. Less room for nutrients. Less margin for error. And that means you have to pay attention. With Pheno B, that attention has become particularly obvious because the plant is consuming what is available so quickly. She's basically turned the 11-litre container into a full-time job. 😂 And that's an enormous lesson. 🧠 The Lesson: I'm Not Doing This Again And now we arrive at my conclusion. After watching this girl grow... After watching her reach approximately 135 cm... After watching her flower... After watching her demand irrigation twice a day... After watching that tiny container apparently become a completely packed root zone... I have learned something very important. I'm not doing small pots in soil again. 😂 At least... not voluntarily. Because this is ridiculous. The plant keeps growing. The plant keeps drinking. The plant keeps demanding. And I'm standing there looking at this tiny pot thinking: "How are you possibly fitting all of that in there?" 😂🌱 But that's precisely why I'm glad I did the experiment. Because now I know. 💡 Same Room. Same Adventure. Different Lesson. And once again, this is exactly what makes the 8×8 Adventure so much fun. Twelve plants. One room. One general growing philosophy. One 12/12-from-seed experiment. And every phenotype finds a different way to teach me something. Pheno B decided hers would be: "Never underestimate a small root zone." She's been teaching me about plant size versus container size. About irrigation demand. About root-zone management. About genetic differences. And about the fact that sometimes the plant completely ignores what you thought the experiment was going to show you. I thought I was testing a small pot. Instead, the plant tested me. 😂💚 🌡️ Current Conditions The current GrowDiaries data shows: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 135 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: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 11 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.2 L per plant / 24h in the current log, with irrigation frequency requiring two watering events The environment remains consistent. And that consistency makes the behaviour of this phenotype even more interesting. Same room. Same conditions. Tiny pot. Big plant. 📸 This Week's Gallery I took another good look at this girl through the camera this week, and I think the photographs capture her personality perfectly. The full-plant photographs show that she's absolutely not a small plant. The closer shots show the developing flowers and healthy foliage. And then there are those photographs where you can see the relationship between her size and her container. That's the photograph that tells the whole story. 135 cm of plant. 11 litres of soil. 😂 It's almost comical. But it's also fascinating. Because this isn't a little plant surviving in a tiny container. This is a substantial flowering plant that has somehow made that little root zone work incredibly hard for her. 🌱 The Little Pot That Could If I had to rename this phenotype today, I think I'd call her: The Little Pot That Could. Because she keeps proving that she can. She can grow. She can flower. She can build. She can drink. She can demand. And she can apparently turn a tiny container into a very busy underground city. 😂🌱 She's one of the most educational plants in this entire run. Not necessarily because she's the biggest. Not because she's the fastest. But because she's making me question assumptions I thought I already understood. And that's exactly what a good experiment should do. 🔮 Looking Ahead We're now entering another interesting stage of the flowering cycle. I'll continue watching her flower development closely. I'll continue paying attention to the root-zone behaviour. And, most importantly... I'll continue trying to keep up with this girl's thirst. 😂 Because apparently, 11 litres is enough for her. I just need to keep convincing myself of that. Every. Single. Day. 💚 Small Pot. Big Lesson. Pheno B started this adventure as the plant with the smaller container. Today, she's standing around 135 cm tall, flowering beautifully and demanding irrigation with the appetite of a plant that apparently believes she's growing in the ground. And I absolutely love it. Because this is why we experiment. Sometimes the result confirms what you expected. Sometimes it surprises you. And sometimes it looks you straight in the face and says: "You thought this little pot was going to stop me?" 😂💚 Well... No. Apparently not. She keeps standing. She keeps growing. She keeps flowering. She keeps drinking. And she keeps teaching me. One thing is certain: The pot may be tiny. The plant is definitely not. And after this experience... I have a feeling my future soil containers are going to be considerably bigger. 😂🌱 🙏 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for providing the platform where we can document these experiments, compare phenotypes and learn together. 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the genetics behind this fascinating Amnesia Haze Auto phenotype. 💜 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting this adventure. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for powering the room and keeping the light side of this experiment moving. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain and monitor the environment and giving me another window into what is happening around these plants. ✨ Lumiflora — for bringing the under-canopy lighting into the experiment and adding another fascinating variable to observe. And thank you to everyone following along, commenting, asking questions and sharing this journey with me. This girl has given me one of the biggest lessons of the entire 8×8 Adventure. Don't judge the plant by the size of the pot. Because sometimes... the little pot contains a freaking jungle. 😂🌱💚 She may be living in only 11 litres... but she's certainly not living small. Growers Love, my friends! 💚🌱

Started off week 2 of flowering on 11/19. All of the ladies look good with the Tangerine Dream being the only set of clones to start showing bud sights and not just pre-flowering. Did a significant amount of clipping and clipped most of the fan leaves on the main colas of my ladies and side branches too. I also began playing classical music for them! True to it’s genetics my Tangerine Dreams are putting off numerous side branches with side branches coming off those branches! Since flowering my Cotton Candy has grown the most. Before flowering it was just barely half the height of my TDs and now they’re taller! As for the Chronic Thunder it’s always been the tallest but in flowering it’s focus has all been on the side branches without me even topping it.

En esta semana los clones pasan al indoor,y se nota lo favorable que es la luz en ellos!

She’s getting phat , stinky and sticky. Banger of a strain

Greetings fellow growers 🖖 and welcome to my first grow ever. This adventure actually started several months ago when I decided to stop buying flower from dispensaries and just grow my own bud. How hard can it be!? This is actually my second seed of this strain. The first bean sadly died due to over watering (sorry girl, RIP). I was literally watering the cube to the point where water was dripping from the bottom, then heavily sprayed the humidity dome and tray with the vents completely closed. Everyday. Multiple times. I never let the dome or try dry out. So after about 8 days of not sprouting, there was a funky smell of rot. So that was that. Later I learned that rockwool retains a lot of water and can easily drown seeds. So a wet/dry cycle is best for rockwool germination. So even after hours of researching and digging through forums and tutorial videos, I was still under prepared for this journey. Did not consider how delicate the germination phase is. Oh well. Lesson learned. Reset and try again! I hope everyone is safe and stoned during this corona crisis. Just like everyone else in the world, I want this pandemic to be over with. But in the meantime, let's grow some weed! 🖖 [START OF WEEK 01] Day 01 - Monday - 08/03/20 - Total Days: 001 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Light Schedule: 24Hrs/0 --- Soaked cube in 5.5 PH water for 10 min. Did not shake water out. --- NO NUTES! Only PH'd down to control the PH levels. --- Did not use the default hole (way too deep). --- Flipped cube upside down and made a shallow hole for the seed (less than 0.25" deep). --- Placed seed in and pinched hole close. No additional water added. --- Sprayed the tray and dome with straight water (5.5 PH). --- Vents are cracked opened a for ventilation (about 1/4 opened each). --- Distance between the light and tray was 53" --- AC was set to 80 °F --- Exhaust fan was set to 86 °F --- Room average temp was at 85 °F --- Dome humidity was at 85-99% when sprayed. --- Allowing to completely dry before respraying. - [2200]: Dome and tray were completely dry! Sprayed only tray and dome with more water. Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/04/20 - Total Days: 002 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Sprayed dome and tray in the morning. Everything was dry. --- Hoping for the best! - [2130]: Everything was dry again, so sprayed dome and tray at night along with a light spray on the cube. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/05/20 - Total Days: 003 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Everything was dry again. Resprayed dome and tray. Slightly sprayed cube. - [2125]: Hooo damn!! She popped! Am little stub is visible! Resprayed dome and tray again. --- Still going 24/0 for lights. - [+0033]: Just checked up on her and I swear she grew a bit taller! Getting excited! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/06/20 - Total Days: 004 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Wow! Went from a little stub to fully sprouted overnight! Everything was pretty dry again so resprayed dome and tray. - [2200]: Tap root is visible! Over 1" long too! Just resprayed dome and tray again. -- Going to prep for hydroton transplant tomorrow! Day 05 - Friday - 08/07/20 - Total Days: 005 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: She keeps growing! -- Added a bit of CalMag to the spray bottle (8 drops to 650ml of distilled water). Resprayed dome and tray. Water was at a 5.4 PH with 141 PPM. - [1045]: Prepped the bubble bucket with 4.5gal of water. Water is high enough to reach about 0.25" above the bottom of the net pot. --- Added 3 drops of Superthrive --- Added 3.5ml of CaliMagic --- Added 2ml Hydroguard --- Then PH'd down to 5.6 --- Solution Strengh: 120 PPM --- Water chiller is set to 20 °C - [1100]: Transplant time! --- Filled the net basket 1/3 with hydroton. When placed in the bucket, air bubbles are not visible, but are slightly below the surface (slight digging will reveal the water/bubbles below). --- Removed plastic on rockwool cube and placed in basket, then filled around and covered with hydroton. Making sure to block any light from passing through the net pot and into the nutrient solution. --- Covered with a half-bottle dome sprayed with the CalMag water from earlier. --- Hoping for the best! - [1300]: Raised Bucket 5" higher. Now light distance is 48" to top of bucket. - [1820]: Lowered tent exhaust temp to 76 °F --- Lowered AC to 75 °F --- Raised bucket even higher so light distance is 30" to top of bucket. - [2300]: Looking good! --- Sprayed dome and surrounding hydroton with more CalMag water. --- Attached timer to light! So new 18 Hrs On/6 Hrs Off light schedule. --- Lights On: [1600] (4pm) --- Lights Off: [+1000] (10am the next day) --- Decided to go with lights on during the evening/night and off during the later mornings/afternoon (the hottest part of the day) to see if temps can be controlled better. --- Please survive girl! Day 06 - Saturday - 08/08/20 - Total Days: 006 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Everything was dry. Resprayed hydroton and dome. - [2000]: Here first night cycle seemed to go well! Get'n taller! --- Dry again. Removed the dome. --- PH went up to 6.5 so PH'd down to 5.7 --- Ran the top feed drip ring for a bout a minute to wet the hydroton and rockwool with the nutient solution. ---Too scared to leave the top feed on 24hrs (I don't want over water her and cause dampening-off). Will let dry before re-watering. - [2100]: After closer inspection, I think she's looking a bit yellow. --- Decided to add a bit of grow nutes to the bubbler solution. --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 176 PPM --- PH went up to 6 --- I hope that the extra chelating properties of the 'PH Perfect' solution is enough of a buffer for proper nutrient uptake. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/09/20 - Total Days: 007 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Water dropped a bit (mostly due to evaporation) so solution strength was at 190. --- Checked PH again. Was still at 6, so PH'd down to 5.4 --- Ran the top feed for a minute to wet the hydroton a bit. - [0915]: Since she's looking perky but still a bit yellow. So decided to up the nutrient concentration even more before lights out. --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 199 PPM --- PH went up to 5.8 - [1700]: Checked nutrients. --- PH: 5.9 --- Solution strength: 202 PPM --- Added 4ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- PH after adding more nutes: 5.9 --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 238 PPM - [2130]: Decided to make a new foliar spray to address the continued yellowing. --- Started with 500ml of distilled water. --- Added 3 drops of CaliMagic --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow A --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow B --- Added 3 drops of B-52 --- Added 1 drop of Superthrive --- Solution strength: 164 PPM --- PH was at 5.9 and did not adjust. --- Gave her one spray. --- Also sprayed the surrounding hydroton. [END OF WEEK 01]

And then there was 3. Placed one bomb in my tent with my Rez in darkness for a few days. Then I will harvest. Other 2 (Charlotte and Bomb) are still going with sensi A and B, bud candy, overdrive. Orange bud is just water now. Will be cutting in a few days Day 102. Cut bomb Finished drying both Charlotte's that were harvested last week. Haven't weighed them yet. But they are both in jars curing.

Dec. 18 - Week 11 begins. Trichomes are beginning to appear more abundantly and I now just give it some weak nutrient solution on a much more frequent basis.

She has performed very good with the lst method, nice plant, fast growth, quality flowers, it's a very good choice for everyone who's looking for a good quality strain at affordable prices. Very nice genetic, this phenotype concretely has a very sweet and floral terps. You can check the other 2 phenos of ak420 here at my page

Getting dense now, really enjoying growing this strain, I'm excited to see the end result in 3/4 weeks. Let's go.l... Have a good weekend people, stay high🏻😉💚

Easy germination for every strain, no stretching problems.

Well,all i hve to Say is she Still growing well.😏😊😊 Well but there are some lil brown marks on a few leaves so i must hve overfeed her a bit,i'll do my research. ✌️✌️✌️

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

Hello the greater community that is GROWDIARIES!!! This week has been well, uplifting should I say! Two weeks ago I was pretty dismal, I had one out if three auto flowers. I had high hope for this grow with RQS being g pretty reputable, but all was going wrong! Then! with a little help from my friends here on GrowDiaries, I was inspired to carry on lol! Now a fortnight later, I'm my opinion, things have turned a corner! I'm seeing flowering behaviour again from these three that were completely stuck in veg! So I'm happy :) Supercropped the big sativa. Just made sense. Only one hasn't been HST, the runt who is actually most progressed of the three. Followed by big sativa. Feeds are pretty unique for each plant so just ask, but the one shown relates to the one in flower. Summary: 1 auto 3 photo periods all under 12/12 for the past 2 weeks. Thanks for taking a nosey!

The one that xploded was labeled Automatic and hat to go Time raffke is fro 14.12 ti 22.12.

Aggiorniamo prima il diario di questa settimana datosi che il weekend sarò in Svizzera...ormai come ogni anno le dutchfemseeds autofiorenti in outdoor biologico sono una soddisfazione immensa,crescono rapide e resistono agli afidi, hanno iniziato a riempirsi di infiorescenze resinose e profumate e colorate. Giorno dopo giorno sembrano migliorare gradualmente e fino ad adesso promettono grandi soddisfazioni perché ormai hanno una struttura perfetta, molto diramate e molte di loro superano già il metro di altezza! Forza Dutchfemseeds autofiorenti in Italia! Un abbraccio a tutti

Una gioia infinita poter raccogliere questi buds ricoperti di gelo. È stata una delle genetche più belle e resinose in questa cultivar e sicuramente la coltiverò ancora una volta perché è veramente troppo soddisfacente! Gli odori dei terpeni hanno completamente invaso la casa (ed anche la strada). La prossima volta la coltiverò con una alimentazione diversa per vedere i comportamenti con una linea bio/minerale. Restate sintonizzati e ringrazio tutti voi per essere passati da qui a lasciare il vostro like ❤️ Ricordati di seguirmi su Instagram! 🌈

She's looking so beautiful,very nice strain to grow for sure,I'm trying to give her a good shape before flowering starts. I add organic liquids nuts only once a week and looks like she loves it,let's keep up the work!! 💚💛❤️🌱🤩
