the plants grow and flower peacefully, the only thing that is leaving me a little strange is that the flowers do not turn purple unlike the others that have the same cutting reversed as the father but the two of them are s1 therefore self-hypolinating but the purple gene seems to have been passed down only to the mixed progeny and not to her

Welcome to week 4 of my Super Silver Haze diary (day22 from germination) Genetics by: Zamnesia seeds Looks great, nice and tall already. Going to flip to 12/12 schedule today, otherwise it will get bigger than 1meter. Last watering was last week, waiting for the soil to dry out a bit before next watering.

Hi liebe Community and Welcome back! ๐Ÿ’š Jetzt war es Zeit fรผr den Trichomcheck und ja, es sieht genau so aus, als wรคre die Pflanze exakt in der 8 Wochen Blรผte Range. Nรคchste Woche ist es dann endlich soweit und die DMO Grapefruit kommt unter die Schere โœ‚๏ธ. Ich habe die Pflanze nochmal Stark ausgedรผnnt und es zeigt sicher eine sehr stark ausgeprรคgte Blรผtenstruktur. Absolut im XL Bereich. Es lรคsst sich beobachten, dass die Blรผtenbildung im mittleren Bereich der Colas stark ausgebreitet hat und die Pflanze Richtung Spitze eher etwas dรผnner wird. Sie bildet die Blรผten sehr vielseitig aus, von dรผnner kompakt bis hin zur breiten dichteren stellen. Ihr Geruch ist nun sehr stark ausgeprรคgt und eine Grapefruit Note zeichnet sich als markante Hauptnote ab. Abgerundet wird dass ganze durch etwas skungige, Sรคure und etwas Zwiebel/Pfefferigel Noten. Auch eine leichte SรผรŸe Komponente kommt etwas hindurch. Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growzelt sind aktuell wieder super! โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” ๐ŸŒž Temp: 23ยฐC ๐ŸŒš Temp: 20 ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ RH: 53% VPD: 1,00 kPa ๐Ÿ˜ŽPPFD: 830 mqm โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Stay Tuned! ๐Ÿ’š

The tiny potter grow is going good. I did burn her a bit by pushing too hard too soon. She is flowering nicely. I imagine she will be done bulking here in about a week. Then about a week of 2 for a flush and fade. Was a really neat grow with a few mutations. I did not do any training beside defoliation here, and there. Cleaning out bottom to get nutrition in easier. She twin towered due to a mutation. Regardless she did good under the Mars hydro FC4800 light. The roots are starting to crack the container. We will see if it holds together till finish. This has been a difficult grow for sure. Feeding 2 to 3 times a day has been a hassle. I sure hope I place in the tiny potter contest. Thank you Mars Hydro. ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿป๐Ÿค›๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ Thank you grow diaries community for the ๐Ÿ‘‡likes๐Ÿ‘‡, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel๐Ÿ‘‡. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿป Happy Growing ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

British Delight - Wizard Trees Day 84 - Watered with 3L of RO tap water with nutrients mixed individually, in order and then pH'd to 6.3! Week 7 of bloom and shes doing pretty good, but she is very very bushy around her bud sites, I might need to do a big defolation session on her this week, but for now I've just removed the larger fan leaves to allow more light and airflow ๐Ÿ‘Œ I've increased the nutrients in her feed to give her a boost in these final few weeks! She looks and smells fantastic, but I'm a little worried about how much flower I'll get from her... She's covered from head to toe in trichomes, but its mostly sugar leaves from what I can see... a little disapointing, but it is what it is... I was going to start prepping her for harvest next week, but I might just let her go for another week, just to be sure she gets the most out of it ๐Ÿ™

๐ŸŒธ Week 10 โ€“ Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt Another week has passed, and the girls continue to impress with their flower development. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ The canopy is filling out nicely, and every pheno is putting more energy into building bigger, denser buds. It's exciting to see how each phenotype is expressing its own unique characteristics as flowering progresses. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Current observations: Bud development has been excellent across all six phenos. We performed another lollipopping session and removed additional fan leaves to improve light penetration and airflow around the buds. The canopy is much more open now, allowing the lower flower sites to receive more direct light. Pheno #6 continues to surprise me. Even though it was the slowest plant in the beginning, it is now steadily developing its flowers and catching up nicely. Pheno #4 is already showing a very unique terpene profile. It has an incredibly sweet aroma with strong Kush-like notes, making it one of the most exciting phenos so far. ๐Ÿ“Š Current environment: Temperature: 31ยฐC Relative Humidity: 63% VPD: ~1.66 kPa SANlight fixture at maximum height Light intensity: 90% ๐ŸŒฟ Looking ahead: The plants are now entering one of the most exciting stages of the grow. Over the next few weeks, the flowers should continue to swell, resin production will increase, and the terpene profiles will become even more pronounced. I'm really looking forward to seeing which phenotype delivers the best combination of structure, aroma, and overall flower quality. ๐Ÿ’ฌ Which pheno would you keep as a mother based on what you've seen so far?

DID SOME MORE DEFOLIATION FOR THE 4TH WEEK. SO THE LIGHT CAN PENETRATE THE BOTTOM BRANCHES. NOT TOO MUCH DEFOLIATION THIS TIME FINALLY STARTING THE PHOTOPERIODS AND I HOPE MY TIMING IS GOOD FOR CHOPPING THE AUTOFLOWERS..........SEEDS PUT INTO THE SOIL ON JUNE 22ND. RUNNING OUT OF ROOM IN THE 8X8 TENT SO I PUT ALL THE PHOTOPERIODS IN THE 5X5 WITH A TSW2000. SOME FAN LEAVES ARE BIGGER THAN MY HAND NOW. SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO TRIES TALKING TO ME....I STILL CANT TALK TO ANYONE BECAUSE I TRIED CHANGING MY EMAIL ON HERE AND IT MESSED EVERYTHING UP. I CANT LIKE ANYTHING OR COMMENT ON ANYTHING. THE WORST IS I CANT JOIN CONTESTS STRIVE NUTRIENTS IS THE BEST IVE EVER USED. A MUST TRY AND I BUY IT MYSELF. GOT A SAMPLE LAST YEAR AND ITS SO GOOD I BOUGHT MORE. ITS A 2 PART POWDER NUTRIENT THAT DISSOLVES IN MINUTES AND YOU MIX THE SAME STRENGTH OF THE 2 PART NUTRIENTS FROM WEEK 2 UNTIL THEY ARE FINISHED (BESIDES THE FLUSH), NO MORE BULLSHIT OF SWITCHING TO BLOOM FERTILIZER. THATS MY FAVORITE THING BESIDES THE RESULTS. CHECK EM OUT AND BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ BECAUSE ITS NO BULLSHIT, AWESOME FRIENDLY AND HONEST PEOPLE

๐ŸŒฟ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 14 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B ๐Ÿ‘‘ The Small-Pot Experiment Has Become a Full-Time Watering Job ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒธ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Well, my friends... Our little experiment is still our little experiment. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ And by "little experiment," I mean the decision that seemed like a good idea at the time: "Let's put her in a smaller pot. Maybe she'll stay smaller, and maybe we'll make our lives a little easier." HAHAHAHAHAHA! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ No. Absolutely not. This girl apparently received a completely different set of instructions. She looked at her 11-litre pot and thought: "Okay, so where's the automated irrigation system?" And then she looked at me. "YOU'RE THE AUTOMATED IRRIGATION SYSTEM." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’ฆ And here we are. Week 14. She's still drinking like there's no tomorrow. She's finishing fast. She's fading beautifully. She's looking absolutely amazing. And I'm still standing there, watering her by hand, wondering how I managed to create more work for myself with one supposedly clever little experiment. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Honestly, I think we've established something important. The small-pot experiment was fun. It taught us something. It gave us a beautiful plant to follow. But repeating this exact setup? Let's just say it's probably not going on my list of things to do again anytime soon. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ And that's perfectly fine! Not every experiment needs to become a permanent part of the garden. Sometimes you try something, observe what happens, learn from it, have a good laugh, and move on. And this girl? She's given us plenty to laugh about. So let's put the watering can down for a moment, give her the spotlight, and appreciate this beautiful Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WEEK 14 โ€“ SHE'S FINISHING, BUT SHE'S STILL THIRSTY! Let's start with the main story this week. She's finishing. She's fading. She's changing. And she's doing it beautifully. But apparently, the fact that she's moving into the later stages of her journey hasn't convinced her to stop drinking like an absolute maniac. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘ The small pot remains the small pot. The plant remains the plant. And the watering workload remains... well... ridiculous. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ It's genuinely funny how things have worked out. The idea was to try a smaller pot and see what happened. Instead, we've ended up with a plant that continues to demand regular attention while moving through the final part of her journey. And I have to admit, I love the irony. I wanted to make things easier. She had other plans. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ But jokes aside, she's beautiful. She's changing. She's fading. She's continuing to develop her own character right to the end. And that's what matters now. We're not trying to force her into another stage or make her follow somebody else's timeline. We're watching the plant in front of us. And this week, she's giving us a beautiful view of that transition. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ฆ THE AUTOMATED IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS CALLED DOGDOCTOR ๐Ÿ˜‚ Let's be honest. This is probably my favourite part of the entire experiment. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Some growers install automated irrigation systems. Some growers set up pumps, timers, valves, and controllers. Some growers enjoy the convenience of having everything scheduled. And then there's me. I put an Amnesia Haze Auto into an 11-litre pot and apparently became the irrigation system myself. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘ The plant is behaving like she's sitting in a much larger container with a perfectly automated watering system delivering everything whenever she wants it. Except... she isn't. There's no magical reservoir hidden underneath the tent. There's no invisible irrigation system working around the clock. There's just me. A watering can. And a girl who apparently thinks I'm on permanent duty. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I can almost imagine the conversation. Me: "You know you're in an 11-litre pot, right?" Her: "Yes." Me: "You know you're not connected to an automated irrigation system, right?" Her: "Yes." Me: "Then why are you acting like this?" Her: "Because you're the automated irrigation system." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘ Fair enough, girl. Fair enough. Message received. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ THE SMALL-POT EXPERIMENT โ€” LESSON LEARNED! I think we can officially close the theoretical part of this experiment. The idea sounded simple. Smaller pot. Potentially smaller plant. Potentially less work. But the reality has been rather different. We've ended up with a plant that still requires plenty of attention, especially when it comes to keeping up with her water demand. And that has been one of the most interesting lessons of this run. A smaller container doesn't automatically guarantee a smaller plant, nor does it automatically mean less work. The actual outcome depends on the plant, its development, the environment, and how the whole system behaves. In our case? The experiment has been entertaining, educational, and occasionally a little annoying. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ But that's why we experiment. If every decision worked exactly as expected, we wouldn't learn very much. Sometimes the best lessons come from the things that don't go according to plan. And sometimes those lessons arrive with a watering can in one hand and a big smile on your face. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Would I repeat this exact experiment? Probably not. Am I happy I tried it? Absolutely. Because now I know what this particular setup has meant in practice. And I have a beautiful Amnesia Haze Auto to show for it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿƒ A BEAUTIFUL FADE โ€” LETTING THE PLANT TELL HER STORY One of the things I really enjoy about this week's update is the way she's fading. She's changing beautifully as she moves through the later stages of her journey. And for me, that's an important part of documenting a plant from beginning to end. We spend so much time looking at vigorous growth, green foliage, expanding branches, and developing flowers that it's easy to forget the final stages have their own character. The plant doesn't remain visually identical throughout the entire cycle. As it matures, its appearance changes. Foliage can fade. Colours can shift. The overall character of the plant evolves. And watching those changes happen week after week is part of what makes the diary worthwhile. With this girl, I'm enjoying the transition. She's beautiful. She's changing. She's approaching the end of her journey. And she's doing it in her own way. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ Of course, fading alone doesn't tell us everything about maturity or readiness, so we're not using colour as the only indicator of where she stands. We're looking at the overall picture and allowing the next observations to guide the story. No panic. No forcing. Just watching her develop. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ SHE'S STILL BEAUTIFUL โ€” EVEN AS THE STORY CHANGES I want to make this clear. The fact that she's fading doesn't make her any less beautiful. If anything, it gives us another side of her personality to appreciate. Earlier in the run, we were following her growth, her structure, and the way she continued to surprise us despite the smaller pot. Now we're seeing another chapter. The plant is changing. The flowers remain the focus. And the overall appearance is evolving as she moves further into the later stages. This is why I love photographing the same plant throughout the entire journey. A single photograph can show us a beautiful moment. A series of photographs shows us how that moment came to be. And this girl has given us quite a story. From the small-pot experiment... to the never-ending watering... to the beautiful fade we're seeing now. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฟ She's been a character from the beginning. And she's still one now. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ SMALL POT, BIG PERSONALITY Let's not forget who we're dealing with here. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B has been doing things her own way throughout this adventure. The smaller pot was supposed to be part of the experiment. It wasn't supposed to become the main character of the diary. But apparently, nobody told her that. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ She's made the pot size part of the story. She's made the watering workload part of the story. And now, as she moves toward the later stages, she's giving us another beautiful chapter to document. That's what makes individual phenotype diaries so much fun. Every plant has its own expression. Every plant develops its own character. And sometimes, the things we remember most aren't simply the flower photographs. They're the unexpected moments. The decisions that didn't go as planned. The observations that made us reconsider our assumptions. And the plants that made us laugh along the way. This girl has managed all of that. She's not just Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B. She's the girl who convinced me that a small pot could still create a full-time hand-watering job. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE PHOTOGRAPHS โ€” DOCUMENTING THE TRANSITION This week's photographs give us another opportunity to follow her changing appearance. The wider shots show the overall plant and its structure. The closer photographs let us appreciate the flowers and the smaller details. And together, they help us document this transition rather than simply jumping from one stage of the journey to another. That's one of the things I value most about GrowDiaries. We can look back at the earlier weeks and compare them with what we're seeing now. We can revisit our assumptions. We can remember what we tried. And we can see how the plant responded over time. With this phenotype, that comparison is particularly entertaining. ๐Ÿ˜‚ At the beginning, we had an idea about the smaller pot. Now, we have the actual experience. And I think the photographs, combined with the weekly notes, make the story much more interesting than simply saying: "She's doing well." Because she is doing well. But there's a whole story behind that sentence. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME ROOM โ€” SAME PHOTONS โ€” HER OWN JOURNEY The 8ร—8 environment remains the shared stage for all twelve plants. We're continuing with the expanded Future of Grow Black Series lighting setup, including the two additional 600W fixtures. Our established lighting reference has been approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug. โ˜€๏ธ Around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Those figures are the established room references from previous updates, rather than fresh measurements taken at every point of this plant this week. The canopy is three-dimensional, and light exposure varies with plant height, position, and the surrounding structure. But the broader point remains the same. This girl is sharing the same general lighting environment as the rest of the room. She's not receiving a special lighting schedule simply because she's in a smaller pot. She's developing under the same overall lighting philosophy, and she's showing us her own individual progression. The lighting is one part of the shared environment. The genetics, the plant's structure, and the way the whole setup interacts are all part of the story. Same room. Same artificial sun. Different plants. Different responses. And one very demanding Amnesia Haze Auto who apparently thinks she has a personal irrigation department. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ FUTURE OF GROW โ€” MORE CAPABILITY, MORE CONTROL The expanded lighting setup remains one of the important developments in this run. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures have given us more available lighting capability and flexibility. But more capability doesn't mean automatically running everything at maximum. The idea is to have greater control over the lighting environment and observe how the different plants respond under the same general conditions. And that's exactly what makes this project interesting. Twelve plants. One shared environment. Different architectures. Different development patterns. Different individual stories. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded setup inside the 8ร—8. More capability. More control. More photons. And plenty of lessons along the way. ๐Ÿ’šโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ด RED LIGHT, PHYTOCHROME & THE EMERSON EFFECT We're also continuing to document the additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lighting period. Red and far-red wavelengths interact with the plant's phytochrome system, which helps plants interpret their light environment. The response depends on several factors, including wavelength, intensity, timing, duration, and the rest of the lighting conditions. The Emerson effect is a separate but related concept in photosynthesis: under suitable experimental conditions, combining light that supports Photosystem I and Photosystem II can produce a greater photosynthetic response than expected from either wavelength region alone. It's fascinating science, but we should keep the distinction clear. The Emerson effect doesn't mean that every red-light treatment produces a predictable improvement, and it doesn't establish that a particular 15-minute routine will speed up flowering or determine when a plant is ready. For this run, we're documenting the routine as part of the overall lighting setup and observing the plants as they progress. With Pheno B, we're seeing a beautiful transition into the later stages. But we can't attribute that transition to the red-light period alone. We're keeping the observations honest, looking at the full environment, and avoiding conclusions that go beyond what we've actually established. That's the approach I want to keep throughout this adventure. ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฌ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€” KEEPING THE BIG PICTURE IN VIEW The room continues under the established flowering nutrition approach, with the programme adjusted progressively as the plants move through their individual timelines. The nutritional foundation for this run includes the relevant Plagron Terra flowering products and additives. Our previous room references were around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€” approximately 6.0. โšก EC โ€” approximately 2.05 mS/cm during the previous stage. These are continuity references from earlier updates, not fresh measurements confirmed specifically for this week's report. And with this girl, there's one detail that keeps making me smile. For all the attention we give to the lighting, nutrition, environment, and other parts of the setup... the thing that keeps demanding the most attention from me is still the watering. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ The small pot has made this experiment particularly hands-on. So while the wider nutritional programme remains part of the shared room approach, I'm not going to pretend that every aspect of the plant's development can be explained by one number. We're observing the whole plant. We're watching the fade. We're documenting the flowers. And we're keeping an eye on how the final stages unfold. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ THE 8ร—8 ROOM โ€” OUR ESTABLISHED REFERENCE The previously established room references remain approximately: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 14. ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12. โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD reference โ€” around 1,500. ๐Ÿ”Œ Future of Grow output โ€” around 59% from the plug. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” around 26.5โ€“27ยฐC. ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” around 25โ€“26ยฐC. ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” around 60โ€“61%. ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” around 25โ€“26ยฐC. ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution temperature โ€” around 25ยฐC. โš—๏ธ pH โ€” around 6.0. โšก EC โ€” previously around 2.05 mS/cm. ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚ โ€” around 693 ppm. ๐Ÿ’ก Lighting schedule โ€” 12/12. ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 11 L. These are the established room references from previous reports, not a claim that every measurement was retaken this week. The smaller pot is the defining variable of this particular experiment. The room remains broadly shared with the other plants, but this phenotype's water demand has made the practical workload very different. And that's exactly the kind of detail worth documenting. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ฆ THE REAL LESSON โ€” THE PLANT DOESN'T READ YOUR PLAN I think this is my favourite lesson from this entire experience. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ We make plans. We choose pots. We decide how we want to structure a run. We imagine what might happen. And then the plants grow. Sometimes they follow our expectations. Sometimes they don't. And sometimes they look at our carefully considered plan and respond with: "That's nice. Anyway..." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ This girl is a perfect example. The smaller pot was supposed to be part of a fun comparison. Instead, it became a reminder that container size alone doesn't tell the whole story of plant size or workload. The outcome depends on the individual plant and the wider growing conditions. And the practical experience matters just as much as the original idea. In this case, I've learned that this exact setup asks more of me than I wanted it to. That's useful information. Would I repeat it in exactly the same way? Probably not. Was it worth trying? Yes. Because now I have real experience to compare with future runs, rather than simply guessing what might happen. And I have a beautiful plant that has made the lesson unforgettable. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ WE'RE NOT DOING MUCH โ€” AND THAT'S THE POINT Apart from keeping up with her watering needs, we're not doing a lot physically to this girl right now. She's progressing through the later stages of her journey, and our attention is focused on observation rather than unnecessary intervention. We're watching her development. We're documenting the fade. We're looking at the flowers. We're keeping an eye on the wider environment. And we're allowing the plant to continue its journey without trying to force every detail. The watering remains the funny exception. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ Because apparently our Queen has decided that hand watering is a full-time service. But otherwise, there's no need to invent work just to feel busy. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is recognize what's happening, keep an eye on it, and allow the plant to show us what comes next. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? WE'LL LET TIME TELL US We're getting further into the later stages. She's fading beautifully. She's looking amazing. And she's still drinking far more enthusiastically than I expected from this small-pot experiment. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘ But we're not going to put an exact finish date on her just for the sake of having one. We'll continue observing the whole plant and documenting how her appearance changes. We'll keep watching the flowers. We'll keep following the fade. And we'll see what the next update brings. For now, the watering can remains in service. The small pot remains small. And the plant remains completely convinced that she has a personal automated irrigation system. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Which, unfortunately for me... she does. It's called DogDoctor. And it operates manually. ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€” A BEAUTIFUL PLANT AND A VERY FUNNY EXPERIMENT Week 14. Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia โ€” Pheno B. And I think we can officially say that the small-pot experiment has delivered its lesson. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ She's still drinking like there's no tomorrow. She's moving beautifully through the later stages. She's fading. She's changing. She's looking absolutely amazing. And she's made one thing very clear: The small pot didn't automatically mean less work. If anything, it made me the automated irrigation system. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ But honestly, I wouldn't change the way I feel about this experience. It was a fun experiment. It gave us something to observe. It challenged an assumption. And it reminded me that growing is as much about learning from the unexpected as it is about following a plan. Would I repeat this exact setup? Probably not. Did I enjoy the experience? Absolutely. And am I happy with this beautiful girl? You bet. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ She's finishing beautifully, she's fading in her own way, and she's giving us another chapter worth documenting. So keep doing your thing, Pheno B. Keep showing us your beautiful colours. Keep moving through your journey. And please... at some point, consider releasing your personal irrigation technician from permanent duty. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’ฆ Until then, I'll be here with the watering can and a big smile. Because sometimes the best stories come from the experiments that don't go quite the way we planned. Let's keep the photons flying. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And most importantly... let's let this beautiful girl shine. ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Žโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to Zamnesia for the Amnesia Haze Auto genetics and for giving us this fantastic phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition throughout the run. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore the expanded lighting setup inside the 8ร—8. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light deeper into the canopy. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And of course, thank you to everyone who follows these individual diaries, leaves a comment, asks a question, or shares their own experience. Every bit of support means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š And finally... a special thank you to Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B for teaching me that an 11-litre pot can apparently come with an unlimited subscription to hand watering. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘ Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve different stories. This girl's story has been about unexpected growth, a small-pot experiment, a lot of watering, and a beautiful transition into the later stages. And that's exactly what makes it worth sharing. So let's keep the camera ready. Let's keep observing. Let's keep learning. And let's see how her next chapter unfolds. Growers Love, my friends! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Happy growing, take care everyone... And don't forget to join the Dog Doctor community on Discord: https://discord.gg/dogdoctorofficial Come say hello, share your experiences, and join the conversation! And if you see me carrying a watering can... please don't ask me if I'm installing an automated irrigation system. I already am one. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’š

At the beginning of this week, I have been fighting the gnats, which are less and less now. Just some watering and gradually lowering the light and going to full power. The Orange Hill Special has been filling out great and I must say, she is a pretty plant. With some manual bending and super cropping, I'm bending the longer stalks sideways and we are off. What I actually do is more of an intuitive hybrid between mainlining (where I bend the whole plant 90 degrees at the third week), LST (where I bend branches outward slightly, without tying), HST / Super crop (where I bend the stems 90 degrees with the clips or manually), after which I keep bending outward to SOG and, put the net over to end in SCROG. This same method gave me the canopy in my prize-winning Gelato 33 grow. Check it out if you haven't seen it, it was my first experimental accident that led to beta test of Super Soil mixture 0.7, now we are at Alpha version 1.00 and testing great so far if I say so myself. I haven't seen such lush greens in my own grows, only outdoor. They seem uber-healthy and resilient, with very sturdy stems and leaves. Way more resilient than previous strains I tested in the beta soil. The light is performing, the natural color of it makes everything pop. Mars Hydro has a winner with the SP-3000. Check out their site: www.mars-hydro.com Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me test it, hook them up for a great deal or info on their products! Halfway through this week, I took the clips out, AND...... we switched them to go into flowering. After a day the stretch is already visible. I had to bend them again after a couple of days. Now we have almost a tent filling foundation for a maximum result canopy of buds. I was wanting to amend the soil with flowering additions (see recipe in yellow image), but I'm holding it off for two reasons. A/ The leaves are still so green and lush, I think there is an abundance of nutes. B/ @Haoss mentions his suspicions on his OHS grow (@#CannapediaProGrowersCup Orange Hill that very sadly went hermie on him) that nutrition in this phase could have had an influence, after asking what happened to him. I would have loved to see that grow to full harvest. But it makes me a bit cautious. if Haoss (whom I consider to be one of the star growers here) couldn't prevent this, what chance have I? I'm waiting until the girls start asking for nutrients. They'll show me what they need in their own time. For now this soil is the shizzle (also quite literally) and Im happy with how everything is going. I remember much more hassle and steering in the last grow. This grow, even the Gorilla runt seems happy. I now water them 3 liters of water / Perma tea mixture every 4 days, every 3rd watering I don't do the tea. This makes for fewer gnats and this soil seems to hold water nicely, also due to the hydro corn. What I like is there is always some unforeseen circumstance, a tilt of the tables, some battle to be fought which delivers in big harvests or, in worst case, no harvest at all. It makes it more exciting, when your heart is at stake, we pour a lot of love and attention in the ladies. So with hopes, but not too high, we go into flowering. Thank you all for joining me again in this Orange adventure! I hope you all had great weeks, germed seeds, extreme growth and buds bursting with trichomes!! See you next week! Hug Bud PS Sunshine made her first appearance, as she promised on the Gelato 33 grow. She is still a bit camera shy, so her digital alter makes an appearance first, if you all want to see more of her and my other helpers, let me know in the comments. Sunshine will make a real appearance if yall are real nice to her.

Day 64 for the monkey ๐Ÿ’ the arms is getting fat with the monkey hair. Starting this week with some top soil mixed with some microrizer too give the roots some more food and keeping het healthy. we Just struggling with some pest that is eating some of the leaves. Not happy with that, spraying them with some hydrogen berocxide. Hope it doesn effect the crop
