The Apple Betty babies are doing great 😊 I’m very pleased with the results so far, I just wished I would have known they would have such a large stretch, they D almost doubled in size in 14 days. At day 8 I stopped tucking the branches and allowed them to grow up. In hindsight, I probably should have kept going for another couple of days. They continued to stretch rapidly all the way up to date 12 or so, much more than my other strain that I have going as well. At day 10 I cleaned up some of the small bud sites and leaves that were below the 1st trellis. These sites do not get enough light to make anything good, and take away energy from the main tops as they grow and compete. A quick snip here and there will really help the end result. At day 13 I decided to add a second trellis net to provide support to the tops that came up so fast. They seem to have stopped their main stretch faze, and are looking happy and healthy now. I’ve continued my water, water, feed schedule and have not seen any cause for concern. The girls are taking a little over a gallon of water every 72 hours at this point. Humidity is being controlled automatically with my in-line fan and humidifier. RH is set to 57% and temps hover between 77-80 degrees with lights on, and about 70-72 with light off thanks to my furnace being back on for the cooler temps. The 2x4 5 gallon girl is doing great as well. 😊During the stretch, she flourished just as the girls in my big tent did as well. She is going to have some great bud, the branch structure is nicely developed with tight node spacing and large tops. I’ve been plucking off all the lower growth, and tucking leaves as they block bud sites. I will be doing a defoliation next week. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Ciao ragazzi e bentornati da me per una nuova pagina di questo diario!😉 Che dire ragazzi tutte le sorelle sono fantastiche.😍 La numero 1 è il capo famiglia, davvero imponente. La numero 2 ha staccato le altre di 5 cm, ora è lei la più alta con i suoi 155 cm. La numero 3 invece ha i buds già bellissimi. Nel complesso crescono bene e forti con una distanza intermodale marcata che le fanno respirare bene. Ora le fragoline misurano circa 1 cm di diametro e quelle della numero 3 misurano circa 1.5 cm💪 L odore inizia a marcare i suoi aromi, pungenti note di mapo (Citrus × tangelo) si mischiano a leggeri sentori di gasolio.😋 Ho defogliato loro nel giorno 67 e ho allargato tutti le apicale dalla pianta 1 con Lst, i nuts rimangono invariati.👍 Eh niente! Anche per questa settimana è tutto ragazzi. Grazie a tutti per aver guardato e restate sintonizzati per nuovi aggiornamenti.🙏 Buona settimana e felice crescita 🌱 🌱 🌱

Another good week

This week went pretty well, other than she stretched like crazy and I am now getting worried about running out of vertical space. I also had a few of my bottom leaves get a few brown and yellow spots on them. I did post some pics and asked a question, thank you for the responses, much appreciated! I am thinking about adding my Spyder Farmer LED 100 Watt light into the tent for the nebula auto because it is about 23 inches shorter than the sour diesel. I believe it would only raise my temp about 2 degrees, and possibly lower the humidity by one or two percent. I must say my dehumidifier has been a freaking stud, running 24X7 and not complaining. I should look into adding another unit, it has been in the mid 90's and muggy for about a week. So far I have to say I am super impressed and excited with this setup, the genetics, and with growing this wonderful plant in general. Already planning ahead to my next grow, and what I can do better. I have been enjoying myself and I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to answer my questions! I am having a blast and am excited to see what this lady will give up in a few weeks!

🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 8 | The Queen Gets Her Spotlight 👑💚 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Some plants quietly do their thing. Some plants surprise you. And then there are phenotypes that seem to walk into the room and say: “You're going to notice me.” Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A has been doing exactly that. Last week, I called her The Queen of the Canopy. This week? I think she's earned the spotlight. Standing at an impressive 175 cm, she continues to be one of the giants of this room. She's still stretching, still producing new flowers, and still carrying that incredible lush green appearance that has made her such an interesting phenotype to follow. And this week we made one small intervention. Nothing dramatic. Nothing aggressive. Just enough defoliation to give this beautiful lady a little more room to breathe. And honestly... She looks fantastic. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is all about discovering how different genetics and phenotypes express themselves when grown side by side under the same conditions. Twelve plants. The same room. The same environment. The same lighting strategy. The same nutrition. The same irrigation. The same daily care. And from the very beginning, these plants have been grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. The idea is simple: Remove as many variables as possible... …and then let genetics tell the story. And believe me, they always do. Some plants stay compact. Some stretch dramatically. Some flower early. Some develop unusual leaf structures. Some become incredibly branchy. And some, like this Amnesia Haze Pheno A, simply decide that 175 cm isn't tall enough yet. 😂🌱 👑 The Queen of the Canopy There is no question anymore. This phenotype is a giant. At 175 cm, Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A continues to dominate the vertical space of the room. But what I love most isn't simply her height. It's the combination of height, structure and vitality. She's not a tall, weak plant desperately reaching for the light. She's tall and strong. Her branches have developed beautifully, her stems have thickened, and she's carrying flowering sites all along her architecture. The plant has that wonderful combination of elegance and strength. And then there's the colour. That deep, healthy green. An incredible amount of foliage. A genuinely lush plant. Looking at her now, it's easy to understand why she needed a little bit of extra space. 🍃 A Little Defoliation — Nothing Extreme This was one of the phenotypes that received some light defoliation this week. And I want to make something very clear: This was not a heavy strip. I wasn't trying to transform the plant into a skeleton. Quite the opposite. She simply had enough foliage that some areas were becoming crowded, so I selectively removed a few leaves where they were creating unnecessary overlap and limiting airflow or access to developing flowers. The objective was simple: Create space without sacrificing the plant's ability to photosynthesize. Healthy fan leaves are incredibly valuable. They're part of the plant's energy-producing system, so I prefer to keep as much healthy foliage as possible when the plant doesn't need intervention. In this case, however, a small amount of selective defoliation made sense. And looking at her now... I think she agrees. 😎 The canopy still looks incredibly lush. The plant hasn't lost her personality. If anything, the flowers are now easier to appreciate. 🌸 Flowers Everywhere And this is where things become really exciting. The flower development is looking beautiful. There are developing flowers distributed throughout the plant, with fresh pistils continuing to emerge and the calyxes gradually building their structure. The flowers are still in that wonderful stage where you can almost watch them changing every few days. More pistils. More calyxes. More resin. More structure. More density. The photographs this week really capture that progression. She's no longer simply a tall plant with flowering sites. She's becoming a flowering machine. And with so many branches carrying flowers from top to bottom, I'm very curious to see how much these sites will swell during the coming weeks. 🌿 Her Quirky Personality Remains One thing I absolutely love about phenotype hunting is that perfection isn't the goal. Individuality is. And this girl certainly has some. Some leaves continue to twist. Others curl in unusual ways. There are leaves that seem to have decided they don't particularly care about following the textbook. 😂 But the plant itself remains vigorous, healthy and productive. That distinction is important. A plant doesn't have to look perfectly symmetrical to be performing beautifully. Sometimes those little quirks are exactly what make a phenotype memorable. And after eight weeks of watching her develop... I can confidently say that Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A has plenty of personality. 💚 An Outstanding Lush Green One of the first things that hits me when looking at this week's photographs is the sheer amount of green. She's lush. She's vigorous. She's full of life. Even after the selective defoliation, there is still an enormous amount of healthy foliage covering the plant. And that's exactly what I want to see at this stage. The leaves are actively supporting the developing flowers while the plant continues transitioning from structural growth toward flower production. The balance between foliage and flowers is becoming particularly interesting now. We're getting enough light penetration to reach deeper areas, while the remaining leaves continue powering the plant. It's a beautiful balance. 💡 Light From Above — And Below The introduction of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues to make this run particularly interesting. The Future of Grow Black Series LED provides the primary overhead illumination, while the under-canopy lighting gives us another way of distributing usable light through the lower portions of the plant. And with a plant this tall and this heavily branched, that becomes especially interesting. There is a huge difference between the top of this plant and the lower flowering sites. Rather than expecting every flower to receive the same intensity naturally, we're experimenting with additional light distribution. The coming weeks should tell us much more about how those lower flowers respond. And that's one of the things I love about the 8×8 Adventure. We're not just growing plants. We're observing them. 💧 Feeding the Queen She's certainly not behaving like a plant with a small appetite. The current feeding continues with the Plagron flowering program. Current feeding: 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Supporting the nutritional demands of active flowering and continued development. 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L Supporting flower development during this important stage of the cycle. 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Part of the flowering strategy as we continue supporting plant metabolism and aromatic development. ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Supporting flower development, quality and resin production as the plant progresses through bloom. 💧 Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Used for pH adjustment. The current logged solution is sitting around 2 mS/cm, with the nutrient solution at approximately 21°C. The goal remains exactly the same: Don't force her. Give her the environment, nutrition, light and root-zone conditions she needs... …and let the genetics decide what comes next. 🌡️ Stable Conditions The environment continues to remain very consistent. Current conditions: 🌸 Flower Week: 8 📏 Height: 175 cm 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day Temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 Solution: ~2 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution Temperature: 21°C 🌱 Substrate Temperature: 21°C 🌿 Pot Size: 15 L 💦 Watering: 1.3 L per plant / 24h 🫧 CO₂: 636 ppm Consistency continues to be one of the biggest advantages of this project. The plants aren't constantly adapting to dramatic changes. They're allowed to focus on what they do best. Grow. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs might be some of my favourites of this phenotype so far. The close-ups show the incredible structure of the flowers and the abundance of fresh pistils. The wider photographs show just how much this girl has developed. And then there are those leaves... The ones that refuse to behave normally. The ones that twist. The ones that curl. The ones that remind you: This is a phenotype. Not a machine. Not a clone of a picture from a catalogue. A living individual expressing its own genetics. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. 🔮 Looking Ahead At Week 8, the big question now becomes: How much more can she build? She's already enormous. She's already heavily branched. She's already carrying flowers throughout the plant. And now we're entering the stage where flower development should become increasingly obvious. I'm expecting the coming weeks to bring: 🌸 More calyx development 🌿 Increasing flower density ✨ Continued resin production 💚 Further maturation of the canopy 🌱 Increasing flower bulk across the branches I'm particularly interested in watching the lower flowering sites. With the additional under-canopy lighting and the small amount of selective defoliation we've performed, we now have a very interesting opportunity to observe how evenly this plant develops from top to bottom. And if her current trajectory continues... Big Mama may have another surprise waiting for us. 👑 Give Her the Spotlight After eight weeks together, I think it's fair to say that Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A has earned her place among the personalities of the 8×8 Adventure. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's quirky. She's incredibly leafy. She's beautifully structured. And she's producing some seriously promising flowers. We didn't need to dramatically change her. We didn't need to force her into a particular shape. A little space. A little guidance. A little light. And plenty of patience. That's all she needed. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is simply recognize what the plant is already trying to become. And this girl? She's becoming something special. So this week, I'm not calling her just the Queen of the Canopy. I'm giving her the spotlight. Because she truly deserves it. 👑💚 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to comment, ask questions, share experiences and follow these plants week after week. And, as always, a massive thank you to the people helping make this project possible: 🌱 Zamnesia — for the genetics behind this remarkable Amnesia Haze Auto phenotype. 💜 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting the plants throughout this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the powerful lighting driving this grow. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain the stable environment these phenotypes are growing in. ✨ Lumiflora — for bringing under-canopy lighting into the experiment and allowing us to explore another dimension of light distribution. 💚 GrowDiaries — for giving growers a place to document, learn, share and inspire one another.

The Queen of the Canopy has arrived under the spotlight. 👑🌿 Growers Love! 💚🌱

Started low stress training this week. Still doing every 2nd day nutrient feeding. Good growth so far. Let’s see how LST goes, only issue with LST is that plant keeps obviously growing towards sun. But I am monitoring it to check the angles it’s growing at.

💚❤️🙏🔥

The trim was easy✂️ The smell is very nice with citrus,pine & Diesel🍋🌲⛽️ The buds are fat & sticky full of resin🤩

Die erste Blütewoche startet. Eigentlich wollte ich vor Einleitung der Blüte alle Männchen aussortieren, aber der Plan hat sich wie so oft geändert. Zum Ende der Woche habe ich 7 Männchen aussortiert, es bleiben also 6 Weibchen. Ich habe versucht die entstandenen Lücken aufzufüllen. Es sind 3x Red Mandarine dazugekommen. Leider musste ich die Wurzelballen "anpassen" damit alles passt - mal schauen ob sie den Stress verkraften.

Week 10 Flower — The Beauty Before the Finish This week marks a very special chapter in the Eternity Grow Cup. As we approach harvest, the garden is simply glowing with beauty. Every corner, every canopy, every branch tells a story — and this week, I’ve taken the time to slow down and capture that story as best I can through the lens of my camera. All the photos you’ll see in this update were taken with care and intention. I use my Sony camera in full manual focus mode, and I don’t just snap and go — I spend time with each plant, each angle, waiting for that perfect moment when everything aligns. These are not just photos to document — they’re my attempt to reflect the feeling of the room, the energy of the grow, and the soul of each plant. Just like with the videos, I don’t shoot randomly and decide later. I record what matters, and what I record, I use. It keeps me focused, organized, and deeply connected to the process — and I believe it helps me tell the story more clearly, whether through stills or moving pictures. All five Runtz phenos are finishing beautifully. Each one expressing unique traits, but all carrying the same stunning quality — dense, clean, colorful, resin-rich flowers that fill the room with pride. This garden is finishing spotless, and I couldn’t be happier. This week’s YouTube episode will reflect that beauty. If you’re seeing this here on GrowDiaries, I highly recommend checking it out in full 4K once it’s live — there are moments that simply can’t be translated in photos alone, even though I try my best. But for those who love the details, the full spread of pictures is right here, as always. t this point in flower, the girls are not eating — they’re just drinking clean water with nothing but System Clean in the reservoir, at a rate of 0.25 ml per liter. This is part of a gentle, prolonged flush phase I like to implement, giving the plants a chance to metabolize and fade naturally. The goal is to promote clean, vibrant flowers that finish with optimal expression, without rushing the process. No forced flush, just time and care. Lighting-wise, the spectrum has been tuned with precision — we’re currently running 40% on the whites, with reds and UVs at 100% to drive trichome development, resin production, and color expression in these final days. The plants are loving it — they’re soaking in the deeper wavelengths that signal the end of their life cycle and responding with a final push of energy. And yes — we’ve been running 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness from the very start of flower. It’s not the usual 12/12, and it comes with its pros and cons. On the upside, it helps speed up ripening slightly, encourages more compact flower formation, and mimics the natural seasonal decline in daylight. On the flip side, it slightly reduces the overall DLI (daily light integral), so you need to ensure your PPFD and spectrum are dialed in just right to avoid sacrificing yield. For me, the trade-off is worth it — the plants are expressing themselves beautifully, finishing strong, and packing on the final magic. Now it’s your turn — I’d love to hear from you. Which phenotype is standing out the most to you in this garden? Which one is catching your eye with its colors, its fade, its structure, or just that vibe that speaks to your soul? Is it the frost? The density? The posture? Each of these girls has her own personality, and I know many of you have been following closely — so drop a comment, let me know: which one is your favorite? Which one would you take home? This run has officially earned the Dog Doctor Official Wax-Sealed Stamp of Approval. These genetics are beautiful — expressive, vibrant, clean. It’s been a joy to grow them, and an even greater joy to share this journey with all of you. Of course, we still have the final word coming after harvest, drying, and curing — that’s when the full picture reveals itself. But until then, based on everything we’ve seen and lived in this grow… this is the real deal. To everyone following the journey — thank you. To the sponsors, the community, the silent observers, the passionate growers, the haters, the lovers — I see you all, and I appreciate every bit of energy you send. This cup has been about more than just growing. It’s been about sharing. Connecting. Creating something beautiful together. And we’re almost there. Next stop: harvest? provably yes lets see !
