hey guys sorry for the absence but in this period I have had a lot to do with my work and I have not been able to bring a good detailed diary, but finally now the holidays will start and I will be able to dedicate myself 110% to a new crop and new ones diaries. having said that, I think I will leave him a week at the most and finally reap the benefits 💚🌳💚🌳maybe my fault the RQS slow release nutrients did not perform as much as the ADVs in my tent, you can see it from the video of 27/07/22 where you can see that 2 out of 6 plants are visually leaner and less compact to the touch , I wanted to try on the same varieties in order to have feedback. I think it could also be caused by the crowding of the tent but with the ADV I have not encountered any problems. I will definitely try them again, giving them much more attention.

Keeps on gr

I can't complain she hasn't skipped a beat since I took over only problem im seeing is very leggy and not vigorous branches but I have a strong feeling things will be different next week stay tuned my fellow plant janitors 👨‍🌾

Looking good Las raices consiguieron un trenzado hermoso No sé si eso es normal pero está planta me sorprende y me sigue sorprendiendo

I transplanted them on Friday 17 and topped them on day 21. I am planning to build mainlines out of all 5. So far they're looking pretty good. Thanks for stopping by and have a safe holiday.

63 days of flower and chopped. Didn't want much amber on this indica. Weight will be determined after dry. Buds are basically dripping in resin and are frosty AH. Pics just don't do it justice.

💚 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! 💚🌱

kommen in Woche 17/ Blütewoche 5 Vorerst verzeiht uns Bitte das etwas verspätete Update, nur der Geburtstag meiner Partnerin am vergangenen Samstag und ein gestriger Auto-Marathon von gut 600 Km haben es nicht eher zugelassen ;-) Zum Update: Kurz zusammengefasst, wer unser Diaries verfolgt hat weiß, dass wir Anfangs ein nicht entsprechend gutes, Medium, hatten. Auch das späte 2te Umtopfen in neutrale Erde, hat zwar sehr dem neuen Wurzelwerk geholfen und ohne diesem wären wir definitiv nicht so weit wie heute. Da aber eines wichtig ist zu erwähnen, wir haben natürlich beim Umtopfen es nicht geschafft, die Wurzeln komplett von der zu ,,harten Erde, zu befreien bzw. zu Spülen mit Destilliertem Wasser. Da uns wichtiger Dünger kippte fehlte es uns zur entscheidenden Zeit an Zucker, P+K, CalMag. So weit so gut, denn Sie wuchsen wieder. In dem Begriff haben wir mit Sicherheit auch ungewollt Nährstoffe rausgespült. Als es dann in die Blüte bzw. den erhöhten EC- Bereich ging, hat die Mitte des Mediums anfangs stets immer ein höheren EC- Wert wie die Erde die frisch umwachsen wurde. Dies brauchte auch ein paar Tage zum Registrieren dessen. Ein wahrer Balance Akt und Symbiose ist gerade auf dieser Ebene arg wichtig. Wir haben zusätzlich mit Co²- Tabletten gearbeitet, um die Nährstoff-verabeitung anzukurbeln bzw. Überschüsse zu vermeiden und zudem, sehen uns die Damen nur noch kaum. Die allgemeinen Additive werden im Moment zweimal die Woche mit Supermicrobes und ein wenig PK 13/14 unterstützt. Zusätzlich wie geahnt, ist der Sommer da und das nicht zu knapp! Selbst im Garten Gießen, ist eine Herausforderung. Wärme- Hitzestress ist sicherlich auch ein großes Thema. Feingefühl, was die Lampe betrifft, muss noch in Erfahrung gefestigt werden. Daher haben wir auch letzte Woche Dienstag umgestellt auf 600 Watt und selbst dies führen wir wahrscheinlich nur noch bis nächsten Samstag, denn die Temperaturen sollen auf 39 ° C steigen. Durch alle Einflüsse haben wir zwar spät (Gestern Abend) aber definitiv ein paar Blätter verloren. Wir haben die Blätter bewusst stehen lassen, um zu beobachten, ob es sich eindämmt und oder schlimmer wird mit den Mangelerscheinungen. Des Weiteren wenn sie stehen bleiben, werden auch die nicht so guten Blätter am ehesten weiter vergehen, statt neue intakte anzugehen. Am Haupteingang befindet sich auf der linken Seite die Oberzicke von allen Damen^^ Sie leidet am meisten, weil sie zuletzt aber auch den höchsten EC hatte und somit als letztes natürlich mehr Destilliertes Wasser bekam. Man sieht es ihr an, dass es ihr nicht so gut geht wie den anderen. Insgesamt bis auf die Zicke werden allgemein Nährstoffe angenommen und neue akute Mangelerscheinung sind nicht wirklich zuerkennen. Wir befinden uns stets in der Zeit, wo es sehr schnell zu Überschüssen kommen kann, da man versucht die Mängel auszugleichen und unter Berücksichtigung des Nährstofffasses nicht zu viel hineinzugeben ins Medium. Wir die sehr lange gelernt haben nicht mehr groß zu Überdüngen, kommen bei diesem lauf echt ins Schwitzen, da die Damen wirklich viel Nährstoffe brauchen und auch Verbrauchen. Selbst alle 2 Tage nur rein Wasser ist nicht ausreichend. Eines steht fest, diese Strain wird ein Wiederholungs- Strain! Die Schönheit liegt im Auge des Betrachters, insgesamt für diesen lauf sehen sie trotz allem Umständen schön aus. Ehrlich betrachtet, führen wir in diesem lauf doch die längsten Zöpfe von je her. Ob sie auch so voll werden, die Colas (Zöpfe), wird sich zeigen. Im Moment bildet sich eine schöne Budstruktur sowie Calyx aus, sie werden schwerer und breiten sich schön um den Stamm aus. Leichte Farbakzente kann man hier und da mal wahrnehmen. Die ersten Pistols werden braun, die Blütenbildung setzt sich fort. Auf eine neue, aufregende kommende Woche ;-) Wir wünschen allen Growmies eine angenehme und erfolgreiche Woche! Vielen Dank an all diejenigen, die unser Update verfolgen, kommentieren und oder auch liken! Viele Grüße!

Week 8 and week 3 of flower! The terpenes are making my mouth water and the ladies are fluffier than ever and stacking up nicely. Due to weather changes recently I was able to keep lower over all temperatures and the humidity has increased slightly but it’s right where I want it (50% RH). Purple Lemonade is fading nicely and her colours are becoming more and more vibrant - she has about 2 weeks left. Terps are insane! All the other strains are happy as can be and also showing slight fade on leaves here and there. Very impressed with my Divine Seeds pheno’s and definitely recommend giving their strains a try very strong and easy to grow. Ethos Zweets literally smelling like candy canes. Dutch Passion Colorado cookies definitely giving off hues of a bakery. Overall it was a smooth week and I can’t wait for the smooth smoke! Organics is the easiest way to grow with minimal effort and great results. Shoutout to Green House Feeding Bio Line 😎

Week 14

70 days in for these girls and they are progressing the way they should be and getting fatter , there are a few dried up taco leaves from a bit of heat pumping out of the HPS so I changed the air flow to be more directly blowing the cold air up and the hot away from the buds and out the exhaust. I had to recalibrate the ph meter also , luckily I did as it was about .8 out of calibration but I haven’t seen any signs of abuse on the plant yet hopefully I caught it in time . I harvested a top bud off one of the smaller bud arms off the pineapple as we haven’t had fresh bud in over a year and honestly you can’t even tell where it’s missing , weighed 12g wet so hopefully we get an eighth or something to chop up . Maybe two weeks left for the pineapple and 4 for the GZ .

So far these girls are beginning their push towards early stages of flowering! Each node is slowly developing pistils, new growth & reaching for the light! They've widened quite a bit seeing as both plants are slowly making their way outside the edge of their 6.6 gallon autopots. I'm noticing the increase in water consumption with no signs of new deficiencies at the 1.7EC 5.8ph. I will be increasing the the EC to 2.0 after flowering begins to progress.

Inizia a fiorire anche questa toppata. È mi sa che mi dà tanto

Roughly 18 days since they broke soil , had five that sprouted but #4 dried up on me super fast (RIP) #5 is looking like a mutant

The flush is almost over and these are almost done. Few more days and they’ll be gettin chopped. Paying close attention the trichome head colors and ratios. Everything looks and smells fantastic. Fastbuds most definitely is a leader in the auto genetic world. More than pleased every time.
