šæ Amnesia Skunk Automatic
Week 8 From Seed
ā Week 4 Flower (12/12 From Seed Run)
She may be 8 weeks old, but biologically sheās in her fourth week of active flowering ā and sheās behaving exactly like a plant that has found her rhythm.
After defoliation?
She bounced back like nothing happened.
No stall.
No stress signals.
Just structure, stacking, and deep healthy green.
Thatās not luck. Thatās environment + balance.
And sheās beautiful.

Environment ā Playing on the Edge (But Controlled)
Room Conditions
⢠Canopy Temp: ~28°C
⢠RH: ~70%
⢠COā: 1000+ ppm
⢠PPFD: 800 ā 1300 µmol/m²/s
On paper, 28°C + 70% RH sounds high.
But numbers without airflow mean nothing.
Massive Airflow
Weāre running:
⢠Strong horizontal movement
⢠Vertical air displacement
⢠Active air exchange
⢠Under-canopy circulation
Airflow changes everything.
Stagnant 70% RH is dangerous.
Moving 70% RH behaves very differently.

š Leaf VPD vs Room VPD
Room VPD says one thing.
Leaf VPD tells the real story.
Under strong light, leaf surface temperature runs slightly above ambient.
That increases transpiration.
Add 1000+ ppm COā:
⢠Stomata donāt need to open as wide
⢠Photosynthesis rate increases
⢠Plants tolerate higher humidity
⢠Metabolism stays high
Thatās why theyāre not just surviving.
Theyāre pushing.

š” Lighting Strategy ā Scaled to Structure
We are not blasting everything equally.
⢠Larger tops: up to 1300 µmol
⢠Smaller plants: ~800 µmol
Light intensity is matched to plant size and leaf mass.
No ego lighting.
Only usable photons.
āø»
š¦ Under-Canopy Lighting ā Why?
This isnāt a gimmick.
Purpose:
⢠Illuminate lower bud sites
⢠Reduce larf
⢠Stimulate lower-zone photosynthesis
⢠Improve uniformity
⢠Keep lower canopy metabolically active
Weāre not replacing top light.
Weāre filling in where dense canopy blocks energy.
Active lower buds stay healthier.
Healthier lowers improve airflow.
Better airflow stabilizes microclimate.
Everything connects.

š“ End-of-Day Red (15 Minutes After Lights Off)
We run a 15-minute red pulse at lights-off.
This is phytochrome management.
Plants operate with two main phytochrome states:
⢠Pr (red-absorbing)
⢠Pfr (far-red absorbing)
Red light pushes phytochrome into the active Pfr state.
In darkness, Pfr slowly converts back to Pr.
By giving a short red signal:
⢠We influence phytochrome equilibrium
⢠Support flowering signaling
⢠Encourage structural consistency
⢠Potentially stabilize transition timing
It does not extend photoperiod.
It manipulates light signaling ā not day length.
And as always:
We experiment.
We observe.
We document.
No magic claims.
āø»
š± Feeding & EC ā Theyāre Hungry
⢠Soil EC: 0.9
⢠Feed EC: 2.4
This tells us something important.
Theyāre eating aggressively.
As long as runoff EC stays stable and does not climb:
We maintain strength.
High metabolic demand requires high input.
If soil EC rises?
We adapt immediately.
No rigid formulas.
Only feedback-based decisions.

šø Visual Observations
From the traditional full-plant shots to the macro work:
⢠Tight stacking beginning
⢠Strong pistil development
⢠Leaves praying under high PPFD
⢠No signs of stress after defoliation
⢠Structure clean and symmetrical
She is balanced.
And balance is power.
Oh that topping was an accident wen moving her š

Weāve got much more coming as we move through the grow cycles. Trust me, you wonāt want to miss the next steps, letās push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together!
As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Letās 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.

šø P.S. ā The Eye Behind the Lens
All photos in this diary (for now ā 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 ā itās how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words canāt always capture.
Iāve also started experimenting with photo stacking ā 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.
Itās not digital enhancement or AI; itās pure photography ā a way to reveal the plantās beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal.
Youāll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots ā camera, lens, setup ā because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.
