💚 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! 💚🌱

Going well

June 7: Sunday Punch EV is an excellent plant. I’m very impressed. June 8: using the scrog net to keep the fan leaves from shading the growth tips. Loose scrog nets are great when doing a manifold outdoor. Very effective and easy. At this early stage just the weight of the string is enough so there’s no need to tie it down. June 9: video tip about making up for dry air by moistening the leaves a couple time a day. Quick gentle shot with the hose is all it takes. June 10: she’s growing fast now. Entering the stage of fast vegetative growth where it will be growing by over an inch per day. Fun times. June 12: Sunday Punch EV is really growing fast now. Re-arranged Scrog net and clipped it down to spread it out and provide some stability. Leaves are quite big and catching wind. The eight main colas are ready to be topped tomorrow, and there are another 8 inner growth tips that i can leave and they’ll be big enough to reach for sun like the soon to be 16 main colas…so 16 legit colas and 8 bonus cheaters for a nice and uniform 24 cola plant…sure why not?

The flora has started, and I increased the amount of MKP while reducing calcium nitrate. PPM is slightly above 1000, nearing 1200. The pH remains between 5.8-6. They are in that phase of substantial daily growth, hoping for a bountiful harvest. I'm still defoliating and tying them.

Beginning of week.. Forgot to update end of last week.. but here she is!... So this week she should still be stretching and (hopefully) the slowdown should be the following week.. she is doing good.. water, feed, water, feed, etc. But not daily.. I do water, feed, skip, water, feed, skip, etc. I do that so the day after feeding 1 gal., she gets a day to dry out. Then I water 1.25 gal. to help rinse salts and build-up.. then feed the next day again.. so she isnt left too long without a feeding.. but I'm sure things would be fine if I watered/fed daily.. just a bit of a hassle for me now.. collecting rainwater and cutting it with 25% crappy tap water works great.. but a hassle lol.. she is happy and so am I! You can see in the pics that the stiples are turning purple are red.. just the stiples.. not the leaves.. not the pistils.. also noticed that on my last run with ETHOS Cookies and Mandarin Cookies.. pretty.. hopefully she will be very colorful! Almost mid week.. Wow.. literally no trichomes yesterday but this morning they are damn near on every bud site! Wow.. rubbing trichomes and sniffing gives me such joy and a hint of what to expect at harvest.. very sweet so far.. yessss! So excited! Mid week... Stretching quite a bit but she shouldn't get too much out of control. Running the WAKYME J-2000 at roughly 60% power and 12" - 14" above the canopy. She is receiving 1000 micromols at the center and about 550/600 micromols around the edges and corners are getting about 500 - 550 micromols.. entire plant is getting GREAT PAR! She is stretching so much that every 2 - 3 days, I need raise the light quite a bit.. I'd say she is stretching about 4 - 6 inches every 2 - 3 days. Fucking incredible, in my opinion. rubbing the trichomes.. aw man.. rubbing those GORGEOUS trichomes and getting a wiff of what she should be producing in the very near future is just mind blowing how complex and strong ETHOS terpenes are (at least the 3 that I have grown out). I couldn't be any happier with this strain.. or any ETHOS strain! ETHOS Genetics is easily in the top 5 of cannabis breeders, if not number 1.. I've got the OG Kush Autoflower waiting to be germinated soon.. can't wait to see what that girl can do, as well. It will be my first autoflower from ETHOS.. pics of her look EPIC AS FUCK!.. Anyways.. I'm just abusing my keyboard right now thanks to some Mandarin Cookies from ETHOS genetics.. super complex terpenes as well.. Mid week.. She got herself a good feeding today. The runoff pH has been coming out about .3 - .4 higher than going in.. the watering before today I went ahead and watered at 5.8.. runoff came out at 6.3.. perfecto! Today, went in at 6.2 and runoff came out 6.2... dos perfectos! Aye! So far, this girl is not disappointing at all! So much trochomes production just in the last 24 - 48 hours! Smells so freaking amazing!.. should be pretty fruity! I can't wait!!! End of week.. I've been kinda tweaking the nutes a bit.. I can see all the nute burn (trying to avoid overfeeding) but still trying to transition from grow to bloom.. actually, I thinkI can go to full on bloom now. She isnt stretching as much anymore. She had slowed quite a bit.. but perfectly lol.. so yeah.. gonna stop feeding grow nutes at this point.. and also cut out the MYCO+ because its only used in veg and transition. I'm going to add in some FloraNectar to make up for the molasses that was in the MYCO+.. no bloom boosters.. at least right now. Runoff is coming out perfectly.. sometimes it may drift to 6.5 but it has never gone out of range (6.5+).. if it stays at 6.5 for too long I end up watering/feeding at 5.8 at couple times and its back down to 6.1 or 6.2.. other than that.. no issues! On to the next week!...

This was a fun little project with a few ups and downs. Overall it was a success. I managed to get 86 Seeds off of the two plants, this is a smaller number but given that I started the pollination about 2-3 weeks late I am impressed. Top this all off with the fact I was using 10ppm silver solution for the majority of the reversing process and only had 30ppm for about a single week near the end. Moving forward if I plan on reversing anymore plants I will be investing in some STS vs Silver solution. It's easier to use and has stronger results. I also managed to get 25g of bug from the plants as well that I will infuse into some butter. Not to worry these are not the branches that where sprayed with silver and they have been cut off and disposed of in the composter. When I decide to grow these out I'll try and create a new diary and test if the CBD/THC ratios remain intact, if the plants are viable. I have not tested the germination rate on these seeds and for all I know they are duds or will not resemble their back-crossed parents. This is my first seed making project and so much is new and unknown to me. Have had lots of help along the way from some good GD friends. Tried to post lots of photos and products I used. The photos labelled [PREVIOUS HARVEST] where when I first grew this wonderful strain out. It has the same peppery kush smell and crazy deep purples as it first did. I did shock these plants with a heavy feeding that stunted them greatly, I also transplanted them when I should have started them off in their forever pot. This was all explained in the weekly entries when it happened and why. overall the autos are not heavy yielding but more average for an auto and that's ok with me. Its the smells, taste colours and CBD contest that draw me to it. Somethings to note from the diary, most of the liquid nutrients are diving by how much water I gave them, typically 4L. Solid nutrients are divided per litre of medium in the pots or they are the total amounts I added. Just ask if you have Questions.

Hey everyone! This week I harvested another one of the girls, the one that looked the most ready in my opinion, at least judging by the trichomes. She still had quite a few white pistils, so it was a slightly cautious call, but I felt she was ready to come down. That leaves only two plants in the box, and one of them is honestly doing the work of four. Every time I open the tent, I’m still shocked by how much this Sticky has exploded. I may have found the magic seed. 😄 She is also the only one that has kept her buds truly huge and dense. The resin hasn’t spread heavily onto the leaves, but the flowers themselves are absolutely covered. I’ve already taken a couple of tops that were blocking light from each other, and I honestly can’t wait to try them. For the coming week, I’ll keep fertigating while lowering the EC by another 0.2 points. That’s all for now. As always, critiques and advice are more than welcome. Happy growing everyone! 🙌

Hab heute (31.1) die Apple Fritter aus dem Zelt geschmissen. Kollege ht sich gefreut, hat leider gespargelt, hab sie noch für ihn umgetopft auf 20L. Wird ihr denke ich sehr gut tun wen sie die nächsten Tage gut behandelt wird. Die Apple Fritter geht dafür gut Steil. Hat wie die anderen gute Stickstoffmängel aber die hab ich hoffentlich gelöst bekommen. Jetzt wo auch mehr Platz im Zelt ist wirds denke mal :)

Welcome Back!💚 Die Sleepy Joe geht weiterhin gut in die Breite und unter den buschigen breiten Blättern beginnen sie die Seitentriebe allmählich nach oben zu bohren. Durch das abbinden der Seitentriebe bekommt die Pflanze nun ihre gewünschte Form. Die Pflanze wird am 10.10.2025 in die Blüte übergeleitet. Die Pflanze wirkt relativ kompakt und gut beieinander, was so typisch für eine starken Indicawuchs ist. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind weiterhin optimal: ————— 🌞 Temp: 24°C bis 26°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 68% VPD: 0,7 kPa👍 ————— Grüne Grüße 🥦

Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!

Hey Growers. These FastBuds Afghan Kush are coming along nicely. These girls are in their final week/s. I’m just watering and watching trichomes. I removed a bunch of leaves especially the damaged ones and the buds bulked up immediately and the frost poured on. The trichomes are bulbous and granular, they’re so big. The buds aren’t massive, but they are firm. I think that may be because of the XS2000. They are quite similar to the super lemon haze from last run. I’m totally fine with a bunch of buds the size and firmness of golf balls!! A bit more time and I’ll chop them down. Happy Growing 🌱

Still flushing to get ph back, nothing added to water this week. Buds are packing on weight and the smell is getting very sweet. Also, had to add in another support net for the extra weight these girls could start making.

the end of my first crop is approaching, I am getting impatient the work has become easier: water and watch for fungi or pests. the cold snap in europe makes it easier for me to manage the temperature and humidity. :)

well guys we go into 5th week of flower and these girls start to smell ! i got 3 lemom pheno and 2 pinneaple pheno ! last time i grew lemon og candy i got also a mix up of both phenos and both are really nice , the lemon one got a more haze like flavor and intense lemon aroma , and the pinneaple pheno smell literally like if u chopped a pinneaple and the flavor is more fruity ! they start covering in trichomes , im so happy so far! loving these qb ! let me know ur thougts fellas ! happy grows 😊
