🧠 Folder #3 — Amnesia Skunk Week 3 Veg — 12/12 From Seed First things first — thank you. Thank you to everyone stopping by, reading, observing, and sharing this journey. Even when a plant looks “uneventful,” those are often the most important moments to document. And that’s exactly where Amnesia Skunk is right now: quietly doing everything right. ⸻ 🌱 Growth & Structure This autoflower is growing beautifully and confidently. • Leaf stage: Moving from the 3rd into the 4th pair of true leaves • Color: Healthy, rich green • Structure: Compact, balanced, well-spaced • Vigor: Calm but clearly energized Once again, I find myself asking the same question: Are these autoflowers behaving like photoperiods? Or are photoperiods behaving like autoflowers? I don’t know — and honestly, I don’t need to know yet. What I do know is that this Amnesia Skunk is thriving. ⸻ 🌿 Substrate & Nutrition — Going Deep Substrate: PRO-MIX PRO-MIX provides: • Excellent aeration • Strong root oxygenation • A neutral, predictable base This allows the nutrition program to shine without interference. ⸻ Nutrient Stack (Current Recipe) We’re running a balanced, biology-friendly approach: • Terra Grow Provides stable nitrogen and core nutrition for vegetative development → supports leaf size, color, and steady growth • Power Roots Focused on root stimulation → more roots = better nutrient uptake = calmer plants • Pure Zym Enzyme support → breaks down dead root material → keeps the rhizosphere clean and efficient • Sugar Royal Plant energy and secondary metabolism support → encourages vigor and future expression → not force, but availability This combination works with the PRO-MIX, not against it. Nothing is being pushed. Everything is being made accessible. ⸻ 🌬️ Foliar — Vita Race (When & Why) Why We Use It: • Delivers nutrients directly through the leaf • Supports chlorophyll production • Helps plants during moments of transition or rapid growth Why We Don’t Overuse It: • Foliar is support, not a crutch • Roots remain the priority • Overuse can create dependency or imbalance So Vita Race is applied selectively: • when the plant asks for it • when growth accelerates • when support is beneficial — not habitual What to Expect: • Slight boost in leaf vitality • Faster recovery • Enhanced photosynthetic efficiency What NOT to Expect: • Explosive growth • Miracles • Replacement for proper feeding ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and Not Expect) Expect: • Continued steady development • Strong leaf structure • Smooth transition into later stages Do NOT Expect: • Forced stretch • Sudden flowering assumptions • Overreaction to normal autoflower behavior This plant is not asking for intervention. She’s asking for consistency. ⸻ 🙏 Closing Amnesia Skunk reminds us that sometimes the best reports come from plants that aren’t screaming for attention — they’re just doing their job well.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Cookies and Cream auto is looking good. She had a slight leaf deformity when she got solution on her roots too soon. It was a pinch strong for her. She has already grown into it, and roots are looking good. I was experimenting with putting the rock wool on one side to get the roots to the solution sooner. Everything is looking good at the moment under the medic Grow Mini Sun-2. Thank you Medic Grow, and MSNL seeds.

Tag 94, mitte der 10.Blütewoche und die Lady ist absolut bereit zur Ernte. Ein fantastischer Duft und eine fabelhafte Blüten Entwicklung. Die Trichome sind der Wahnsinn und zu ca. 35-40% bernsteinfarbend. Eine schöne Zeit ist nun vorbei, aber es hat sich mega total gelohnt.

You can really start to see the buds forming. I was still on preflower nutrients on cruise control until the buds get more dense still no smell

This was another hot, hot week with a big rainstorm. Take a look at the measuring cup, it is full of rainwater. Gorilla Cookies continues to smell and is very sticky. It is a tall and lanky plant but look at the heavy buds weighing down the stems. It should be ready to take down in a couple of weeks. Half way through this grow, I had to stop using Miracle Grow and change my grow plan. I decide to use Advance Nutrients Jungle Juice for the rest of the grow. Jungle Juice’s selling point is that it is the only nutrient that I should need during the entire grow. One just need to make the solution stronger as the plant matures. The directions say to “stir vigorously” and that is true. It is very clumpy and I had to stir and shake the bottle a lot. As your plant is in veg and growing larger, directions say to up your Jungle Juice to 4 ml per liter. If my calculations are correct, I am using approx. 5 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket. 1 gal is 3.78 liters 5 gallons=18.92 liters 4ml jungle juice per liter x 18.92 liters= 75.7 ml which is = to 5.119 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket of water As the end of the summer is quickly approaching, I have spent some time reflecting this week on all of the contests that I have entered and not won this summer. It can be a little frustrating because of all the time I have spent taking pictures and writing commentary. But, instead of it getting me down, I have to think about all of the positive take aways and I want to share them on this platform. I have read a lot of diaries and now know why I am just an apprentice. I have a lot to learn from all of you. There are some really good growers with a lot of experience and crazy grow techniques. So much knowledge is on this platform-it’s mind boggling. To be a great grower, you must be willing to be vulnerable and put yourself out there and try different suggestions and new techniques. I have made a few friend that I enjoy chatting with. I enjoy reading comments versus just seeing likes. My best friend on grow diaries is @Natrona and my neighbor as well. She has been growing longer than I have been so I routinely learn from her. This summer I learned to mix 1 cup of Perlite into my soil. I can see where my plants need the air flow. And, I now I only defoliate fan leaves that absolutely need to be gone. I let the fan leaves stay on until they fall off. I want my buds to pull all the nutrients they can out of the fan leaves. I also bought 2 new tools that @natrona suggested. The first was a water PH tester and the second was my Max-ee Magnifier which is informative and fun to use. As always, Let’s Chat it up AND Likes and comments are appreciated

would deffo grow this strain again.

Sorry for missing a few days of her grow guys! I'm so sorry about that, I like to always have6ny diaries updated. This lady hasn't really grow too much after I started training her but anyways. Her aroma is very sweet like a perfum, her sister smells the same too which is awesome news for me! She's being 100% organically grown with Biotabs organics! 💚🌱✌️

No nutrients this last watering I did today. Flushing for 2 weeks then harvest time! I've done the last of my defoliating and looking forward to starting a new batch in a few short weeks.

Day 79 17/09/24 Tuesday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Seeing good developments, buds forming nicely, divines are smaller denser structures but the buds are not lacking! Damn I'm surprised by 2L pots. Day 81 19/09/24 Thursday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Day 83 21/09/24 Saturday Another feed to push this week they seem to be handling it 💚. Fattening up on the buds now and pistils starting to mature

10/06/2021 Harvesting #2 and #1 to prevent more loss to mould. #3 will tackle in morning. #2 hardest hit. #1 not much #3 less. Mould Weight will be added later as I have lost my scale in moving. On to curing for 3-4 weeks and I will update the smoke report

Defoliated and fully leaf stripped. I am going all out to see what happens. Wedding gelato is a fairly tall plant for my tent and future grows will have to be properly trained and tied down. Live and learn. So far happy with the results from hydro grow. Roots have worked their way into the res so I have added an air bubbler to the submerged roots.

.

Pave was ready, took the tops and let the rest swell, also took down the tops from pink pillow.Gush mintz were getting to the point of over ripe, took all the heavy tops. Some rot was found. Took down the tops from the original blueberry, they were rock solid and just to the apex of maturity, the flowers were pristine save a few holes from moth larvae- also left the lower branches to fill out. Many hours of trimming already and I have not made a dent in the garden. Sugar cane and gorilla glue have produced massive colas and I plan on taking the mature tops next week. I had some trouble with the centurion tabletop trimmer but it was just due to massive amounts of sticky resin on the brush roller and blade. This is the stickiest and healthiest crop yet, perhaps it is due to the elecroculture antennas I made and installed this year (see week 2.) Bugs did not want any part of the garden this year except for the moth larvae and spiders (which were beneficial.)

we are at the beginning of the 5th week. the LST training is working quite well so far. it has become a bit caotic. it is possible that i have overfertilised her a bit, she has got two yellow spots. but nothing wild yet. she still gets canna rhizotonic, biobizz grow and biobizz bloom. i don't do any exact fertilisation, more like a guess. she has the first flowering starts. let's see how she develops further. :)

Week 5 (9.1.25--9.8.25) took photos on 9.4.25 9.5.25 put light fixture at 90% brightness.

Day 18 - This plant's leaves are just so fat and happy. I love how thick and healthy she looks! Trying to decide how I'm going to grow this one.... Maybe a top ✂️? Day 20 - Gave 3ml of Veg A, Veg B and Coco Cal. Girl is fat and happy!

Ladies are looking good the bubblegum is getting fat and and sticky also getting nitrogen deficiency which is normal at this stage of the grow. The chocolope is getting a whole lot of stickiness but not much fatness and it looks like I will be harvesting this plant last as its not showing any signs of finishing. so the chocolope will probably flower a bit longer then the bubblegum

Today marks the 7th week of flowering for my cannabis plant, and it's truly fascinating to observe the changes that are taking place. The stretching phase has officially come to an end, and now the plant is fully focused on developing its buds. I can see that the buds are starting to swell and gain size, which is a promising sign of a healthy flowering process. I've adjusted the feeding schedule with BioBizz products to match the plant's current needs. Overall, the plant looks healthy and vigorous. The pistils are turning a beautiful shade, and the resin production is beginning to increase. I’m excited to see how the buds will continue to develop over the next few weeks. I’ll keep monitoring closely and make sure everything stays on track. Be excited for the coming weeks 💚🌱🌱
