12/27 Week 8 ! Such lovely girls, prettiest plants we've grown to date. Pretty happy with the nuets where they are so leaving it at 850ish ppm Was continuing to occasionally throw in some Fish Sh!T but that will stop now,too close so gotta watch those terps. Lights out pics later 12/28 Last two weeks before the flush so began the Soul Peak PK/Finisher at minimum dose with regular feed. Adds almost nothing to ppm. 12/31 Last push , reduced Bloom nuets to 7ml and increased Peak to 13 which is a tad high but ppm remains under 800. Eventually it will be all Peak then flush. 1/2 Flush for Belle begins with Monday's watering at lights on. Last day for Bloom nuets on Belle and then three days of just the finisher. Annie will stay on the 5ml/15ml mix until her hairs curl sufficiently then same protocol.

On 5th week in flower, smelling gassy /underneath nose earthy in there as well. Looking stacked but I really appreciate the free seed. Definitely going to order cereal milk and continue with MSNL genetics . Got me liking the Forbidden Fruit , now Gary Payton and Lava Cake remind yall this my first time growing these strains . I got London Pound Cake from MSNL as well they in the freezer waiting to be popโ€ฆ

This week was all about recovery momentum and structure building.๐ŸŒฟ The plant remained in vegetative stage and was allowed to push naturally after the topping in Week 4. โ€ข 6 main branches established.๐Ÿ’ช โ€ข 4 developed nodes โ€ข Height ~15 cm โ€ข Clearly bushy structure No additional training was done this week to allow full energy allocation into root expansion and lateral growth. The canopy is starting to even out nicely. Light intensity increased to ~600 PPFD under 18/6.โ˜€๏ธ IR remains active and will continue throughout the grow. Leaves are visibly praying, indicating strong light response and healthy transpiration. Watering was increased to 2L per session, twice this week.๐Ÿ’ง Slight upward trend in water demand observed. Feeding consisted of RO water + CalMag, with 1 application of Greenhouse Bio Enhance during the week. โ€ข Temps: 25ยฐC day / 18โ€“19ยฐC night ๐ŸŒก๏ธ โ€ข RH: 60โ€“62% Leaf color is deep healthy green.๐Ÿ’š New growth looks vigorous. Stem is still slightly on the thinner side but strengthening gradually. Overall the plant looks stable, balanced and ready to accelerate further in veg. Strong structural week with steady vegetative expansion.๐Ÿ˜Š

Pretty quiet week. Seeing some yellowing leaves which is a big indicator of a nitrogen issue but Iโ€™m hoping that itโ€™s just because Iโ€™m in mid flower and not a bigger problem. Mantis Nutrients walked me through my issues and I have flushed the plant. Will now start giving lower doses of nutrients and will slowly increase the amount. The buds themselves are getting really sticky and stinky. Love watching them grow!

She is at day 91 from seed at the time of this writing. I have been flushing her for about 4 days already and will continue to flush for 1 more week. She is changing leaf colors in the spectrum of red, purple, yellow,and orange; a true beauty. I am taking her down next week on day 98 and will let her ripen and give one final push on the bud swell. I also performed backbuilding techniques on the main bud sites which entailed the clipping of the top of my buds ( about 2 cm).The terpines from this plant is amazing. When i touch the flower she feels nice and dense with a smell of lemons, gummy bears, and diesel. She is naturally defoliating nicely although i do pluck off a few dying yellow leaves here and there. I did go through and cut off the smaller "larfy bud producing" branching in order for the plant to concentrate more so on the swelling of the more desirable colas in this final push. So far so good, i would just like to see more of the white pistols go amber, which they have started to do, before i harvest. I did trim and oven bake dry those little popcorn buds i trimmed off and went for a test smoke in some bamboo papers. Although i destroyed the terp flavors by doing so (expected) the high was clear and long lasting, very pleasant with zero couch lock. A decent body stone and mostly a cerebal pleasure. I cut my nephews hair right afterwards and was able to focus....which i like. I only expect the final product to be even better.

Alright, happy month of 420 to all๐Ÿค™๐ŸŒฒ This is 3 days into week 4 of bud for these ladies (day 25). They have all definitely started swelling up and putting on frost. For some reason Iโ€™m not recognizing any of theses bud structure. The two seed grown plants up front are way different phenotypes than the plants I grew last round. And even the clone I took thatโ€™s in the back is way crazy different than the mother I took her from. So Iโ€™m assuming these genetics arenโ€™t to stable. But they aren't done yet so I guess I canโ€™t quite judge till itโ€™s finished. Anyways onceโ€™s I get a strong mother of that Dark Plasma and Tropic Moon Iโ€™ll probably stop running these strains and only run those two strains for a bit

Week 7: Preparing for Flowering At the beginning of the week, we installed the net, marking the final stretch before flipping to flower. The plant is growing beautifully, and Iโ€™m genuinely impressed by its vitality. All the training seems to have had no negative impactโ€”sheโ€™s handling everything like a champ! ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟ By the end of the week, itโ€™s finally time to switch to flowerโ€”wish me luck! ๐Ÿ€ Challenges this week: Temperature: ~26ยฐC Humidity: ~35% VPD: A whopping 2.4! Not exactly ideal, but thanks to the large fabric pot, she had enough water to keep going strong while I was on vacation. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ฆ Weโ€™re still seeing light-colored tips, and sheโ€™s putting on a final growth spurt before I flip the switch! ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿš€

Hey huerteros pues asi va esta sativa dream que hoy hace su dia 46... y nos veas como esta desarollando! Seguimos aplicando LST ... para ir abriendo la planta y haciendo una buena estructura para cuando llegue la fase de floraciรณn!! De momento solo regamos con agua y cada 10-15 dias aรฑadimos microbes! El sustrato es All mix de biobizz y ya viene prefertilizado asi que por nutrientes no sera y la planta asi lo demuestro con ese verde tan vivo! Esperemos que todo siga igual... iremos subiendo contenido asiduamente todas las semanas! Saludos desde el sur ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ

๐ŸŒฟ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 13 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B The Small-Pot Experiment That Keeps Proving Me Wrong ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And... Guess what? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ MY INCREDIBLY STUPID IDEA IS STILL STUPID. Yes. The small-pot experiment. The brilliant idea that somehow went through my head: "Let's put her in a smaller pot. Maybe she'll stay smaller." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Well... NO. Apparently not. This girl looked at my 11-litre pot and basically said: "That's cute." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ And then she continued growing. And growing. And growing. And growing. Until here we are... Week 13... and I'm still doing significantly more work with this girl than with most of the room. Not because she's difficult. Not because she's unhealthy. Not because something is wrong. Quite the opposite. She's thriving. She's cruising. She's growing beautifully. She's shining. She's bulking. She's developing. She's doing absolutely fucking fantastic. The problem? She's demanding. VERY demanding. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ˜‚ She wants water. Then she wants more water. Then she apparently looks at me and says: "Are we done?" "No." ๐Ÿ˜‚ "More." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ So here I am... trying to keep up with this little-pot monster while the rest of the room is basically cruising along. And honestly? I don't mind the work. I LOVE the work. But this? This is unnecessary work. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Because apparently putting a big-growing plant into a small pot does not make the plant small. It simply makes the grower work harder. Lesson learned. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ“š So let's give this beautiful, demanding, absolutely ridiculous girl the spotlight. Because she deserves it. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ 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 13 โ€“ THE SMALL POT THAT REFUSES TO MAKE HER SMALL At this point, I think we've officially proven the theory. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Small pot does not automatically equal small plant. At least not with this girl. She's still growing. She's still getting bigger. She's still developing. She's still building. And somehow... she continues to look like she would happily occupy a 25-litre pot. Or maybe even the ground. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Honestly? I have no idea where she would stop. Maybe she'd just keep going. Maybe she'd eventually ask me for a greenhouse. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ Because the 11-litre pot clearly isn't convincing her that she should be small. She's simply using what space she has and making the absolute most of it. And now I'm paying the price for my experiment every time I have to keep up with her water demand. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ But looking at her? I can't even be annoyed. She's beautiful. 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 THIRSTY LITTLE MONSTER Let's talk about the real story of this week. Water. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ˜‚ This girl is demanding. Demanding. Demanding. And then... demanding some more. The rest of the room? Cruising. This girl? Also cruising. But apparently she's cruising with the accelerator pressed down. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ She's using what she's given. She's continuing to grow. She's continuing to build. She's continuing to develop. And because she's doing so much from such a relatively small container, I'm constantly having to keep an eye on her and keep up with what she's asking for. It's almost like she's looking at that 11-litre pot and thinking: "You gave me limited space. Fine. I'll just drink more." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Honestly... I respect the attitude. 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 11-LITRE POT REGRET CONTINUES Let's revisit my decision. Because apparently I haven't suffered enough yet. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The idea was simple: Small pot. Smaller plant. Less work. Right? WRONG. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ The reality: Small pot. Big plant. More frequent attention. More water demand. More support. More work. More standing in front of her asking: "Why the hell are you still getting bigger?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ So if anyone is keeping notes from this adventure... please write this down: **DogDoctor's Small Pot Theory** โŒ Small pot = small plant Apparently not. Instead: โŒ Small pot = less work Also apparently not. What I actually got was: ๐ŸŒฑ Big plant ๐Ÿ’ฆ Big thirst ๐ŸŒธ Big flowers ๐Ÿ‘‘ Big personality ๐Ÿ˜‚ Big workload And honestly? It's fucking hilarious. 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 SHE'S GROWING LIKE SHE'S IN NATIVE SOIL This is the part that really gets me. Look at her. Seriously. Look at her. ๐Ÿ˜‚ If I didn't know she was sitting in an 11-litre pot, I wouldn't necessarily guess that from looking at the plant. She keeps growing as if she's been given a much larger root zone. Sometimes I look at her and think: "What if I had put you in 25 litres?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ And then another thought: "What if I had just put you in the ground?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I genuinely don't know what would have happened. Maybe she'd still be asking for more water. Maybe I'd be standing outside with a hosepipe thinking: "Okay girl, that's enough now." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ฆ But that's the fascinating part. She's showing us what this phenotype wants to do. And apparently... what she wants to do is GROW. 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 PLANT IS IN CHARGE At this point, I have officially accepted my role. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm not the boss. I'm the provider. I'm the hands. I'm the guy standing there making sure she gets what she needs when she asks for it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ She's basically the boss of the operation. And I'm just here like: "Yes, Your Majesty." ๐Ÿ‘‘ "More water?" "Yes, Your Majesty." ๐Ÿ’ฆ "More support?" "Yes, Your Majesty." ๐Ÿ˜‚ "More space?" "Sorry, Your Majesty. That's where we fucked up." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ The plant doesn't care about my original plan. She doesn't care about my small-pot theory. She doesn't care that the rest of the room is cruising. She's doing what she wants. And my job is simply to support that. And honestly? That's one of the beautiful things about growing. You can make the plan. But the plant gets the final vote. 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 STILL BUILDING โ€“ STILL SHINING And despite all the jokes... she really is beautiful. She's still growing. She's still developing her flowers. She's still building. She's still showing that dense, substantial structure we've been following. And she's becoming more impressive week after week. She's not simply sitting there waiting for the end. She's still actively doing her thing. And that's why I'm not worried about the few leaves beginning to yellow. There are some minor yellowing leaves appearing. And yes... we're getting closer to the later stages. But I'm looking at the whole plant. I'm looking at the flowers. I'm looking at her development. I'm looking at her overall appearance. And I'm not seeing something that makes me panic. She's moving toward where she needs to go. Naturally. Gradually. In her own way. And that's perfectly fine. 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 FEW YELLOWING LEAVES โ€“ AND I'M NOT PANICKING This deserves a little mention because I know somebody will notice it. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Yes. There are a few leaves starting to yellow. And honestly? I'm not worried. We're getting further into the flowering cycle. The plant is changing. Some foliage is beginning to show signs of aging. And that's part of the journey. I'm watching it. I'm not ignoring it. But I'm also not inventing a crisis where there isn't one. The plant overall looks beautiful. She's developing. She's building. She's getting closer to the later stages. So I'm simply observing. No panic. No unnecessary intervention. No dramatic: "OH MY GOD, A YELLOW LEAF!" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ One yellowing leaf doesn't get to cancel the entire beautiful plant. We're watching the whole picture. And the whole picture looks damn good. 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 DENSE, COMPACT AND STILL GETTING BIGGER One of the things I really love about this girl is that she's not simply growing tall for the sake of being tall. She's becoming substantial. The flowers are dense. The structures are compact. The plant is filling itself out. And she's doing it while continuing to increase in size. It's almost like she's found the cheat code: "Why choose between size and density?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ I'll just have both. And that's exactly what we're seeing. A plant that's substantial in overall structure... with dense, compact flowering sites... and enough growth to keep the grower permanently occupied. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ She's definitely one of those plants where the photographs don't always tell the whole story until you step back and look at the entire structure. Then you realize: "Oh..." She's actually fucking big. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ 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 CAMERA STILL LOVES HER And honestly, I love photographing this girl. Because every week there's something new to see. The overall plant. The main structures. The side branches. The flowers. The leaves. The details. The architecture. And now... the yellowing leaves beginning to appear here and there as she moves toward the later stages. All of those little details become part of the story. That's why I love keeping these weekly diaries. We're not simply trying to produce a final photograph of a finished plant. We're documenting the journey. And this girl's journey has been hilarious. ๐Ÿ˜‚ From: "Let's put her in a small pot." To: "Why the fuck is she still getting bigger?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ And now: "Please, girl... just finish when you're ready because I'm getting tired of watering you." 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’ก SAME ROOM โ€“ SAME PHOTONS โ€“ HER OWN RESPONSE And once again... she's sharing the exact same room as everybody else. Same 8ร—8. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same nutritional foundation. Same overall care. And yet... look at her. This is another beautiful example of why the 8ร—8 Adventure is so interesting. The environment provides the common stage. The genetics decide what happens on that stage. The same photons hit the canopy. Different plants respond differently. Different structures. Different speeds. Different flower formation. Different water demand. Different personalities. And this girl? She's basically saying: "Give me the photons. I'll take care of the rest." ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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 THE FUTURE OF GROW LIGHTING UPGRADE The expanded lighting setup remains part of the room. Two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still giving us additional lighting capability. We're not simply running everything at maximum output. We're controlling the setup around: ๐Ÿ”Œ ~59% power from the plug With approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy naturally varying according to canopy position and height. And this girl is certainly making use of it. She's growing. She's developing. She's building. She's shining. And she's giving us another example of how different genetics can respond to the same lighting environment. A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying those additional fixtures and allowing us to test them here in the 8ร—8 Adventure. More capability. More control. More photons. And twelve different stories. 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 I'M NOT FIGHTING HER ANYMORE I've officially surrendered. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She wins. The small-pot experiment? She won. My theory? Destroyed. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ So now I'm simply accepting reality. She's going to grow. She's going to demand water. She's going to keep developing. And I'm going to keep providing what she needs. That's the relationship. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ I'm not trying to make her smaller. I'm not trying to force her into a shape. I'm not trying to punish her for ignoring my original plan. I'm simply letting her be herself. And honestly? That's much more enjoyable. Because when you stop trying to make the plant fit your expectations... you can actually appreciate what the plant is showing you. And this girl is showing us something beautiful. 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 WORKLOAD IS RIDICULOUS โ€“ BUT I LOVE IT Now... I want to make one thing very clear. I'm complaining. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But I'm not really complaining. I love the work. I love taking care of the plants. I love being in the room. I love checking them. I love watering them. I love watching them change. I love documenting them. So this isn't: "OH GOD, I HAVE TO WORK." ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's more: "WHY DID I CREATE UNNECESSARY WORK FOR MYSELF?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ There's a difference. I don't mind the work. I just don't necessarily understand why I voluntarily made the workload harder by putting a plant like this into a small pot. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ But that's part of learning. And I'll gladly take the lesson. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿง  THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE KEEPS TEACHING This is exactly why I love this project. Every plant teaches something. Every phenotype gives us another observation. Every decision has consequences. Sometimes those consequences are exactly what we expected. Sometimes they're not. And sometimes... you end up with an 11-litre pot containing a plant that behaves like she belongs in 25 litres or native soil. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ That's the fun. We're not pretending everything is perfect. We're documenting reality. The good decisions. The questionable decisions. The surprises. The lessons. The successes. The mistakes. And everything in between. And this girl? She's one of the funniest lessons in the entire room. 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‘‘ SHE DESERVES THE SPOTLIGHT Because despite all my complaining... look at her. She's beautiful. She's healthy-looking. She's growing. She's shining. She's developing. She's getting bigger. She's still building. And she's absolutely doing what she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ So yes... the spotlight belongs to her. Not because she's the biggest plant in the room. Not because she's the fastest. Not because she's the easiest. Actually... definitely NOT because she's the easiest. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ She deserves it because she's one of the most entertaining plants in this entire adventure. She surprised me. She challenged my assumptions. She made me work. And she's still giving me beautiful results in return. That's a pretty good relationship. 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? Hopefully... the finish line. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm not going to put a deadline on her. I'm not going to pretend I know exactly how long she'll take. But I will say this: Girl... whenever you're ready... please consider finishing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘ Because you're giving me work. A LOT of work. And while I love the work... this particular workload was entirely self-inflicted. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ So we'll continue watching. We'll continue supporting. We'll continue providing what she needs. We'll continue observing the flowers. We'll continue watching those few yellowing leaves. And we'll let her decide when she's ready to move into the final chapter. No rushing. No forcing. Just observation. 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€“ THE PLANT THAT REFUSED TO BE SMALL Week 13. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B. And I think we can officially say: The small-pot experiment failed. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Not because the plant failed. Because the plant completely ignored the premise. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ I thought: Small pot = smaller plant. She said: "Watch me." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And now she's here. Big. Beautiful. Dense. Compact. Demanding. Thirsty. Still growing. Still shining. Still developing. Still making me work. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ She's drinking. She's asking for more. She's using everything available to her. And she's continuing to grow as if the 11-litre pot is merely a suggestion. Maybe 25 litres would have been more appropriate. Maybe native soil. Maybe I should have just given her a field. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Who knows? What I do know is this: She's beautiful. And I'm incredibly happy with what she's showing us. The few yellowing leaves don't scare me. She's moving toward the later stages. She's beginning to transition naturally. She's still building. She's still doing her thing. And we're simply here to provide what she needs. I'm her provider. Her caretaker. Her hands. Her water delivery service. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘ Whatever you want to call it. She's the one running the show. And I'm perfectly happy with that. So let's give this beautiful, demanding, ridiculous little-pot Queen the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching her. Let's keep supporting her. Let's keep watering her when she asks. And let's see if she finally decides to finish before I have to start charging her rent. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ She's not little. She never was. She's simply living in a small pot. And apparently... she has absolutely no intention of letting that stop her. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Žโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ 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. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these individual journeys and share everything from the beautiful moments to the completely questionable decisions. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Thank you to Zamnesia for the Amnesia Haze genetics and for giving us this incredible phenotype to follow.

We evolve. We adapt. And we keep growing. This 8ร—8 Adventure continues to show us twelve plants... one room... one shared environment... and twelve completely different stories. And this girl's story? It's one of the funniest. One of the most demanding. One of the most surprising. And one of the most beautiful. She keeps growing. She keeps shining. She keeps asking for water. And I keep showing up. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฟ That's the deal. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching those beautiful flowers. Let's keep supporting her. And let's see when this demanding little Queen finally decides: "Okay... I'm done." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ Until then... I'll be here. Watering. Watching. Documenting. Learning. And wondering why the hell I thought a smaller pot would make my life easier. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Happy growing, take care everyone... and I'll see you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. Where some girls are cruising... some girls are taking the scenic route... and Amnesia Haze Pheno B? She's cruising too... but apparently she's cruising directly through my water reservoir. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ See you next week! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’š

Waited for the roots to develop more in the little pot before transplanting to the air pot. Started low stress training on the others. They started a little slow at first but going now.

She smells so sweet and citrusy it makes my mouth water whenever I check her, I think sheโ€™s not got long to go, every bud is nice and big by my standards grown with no issues throughout just in flush now to get ready for harvest time. Patience is key

She only grew 1cm this week. She's really charging through flowering. Trichome production has been high this week. I wish there was a way to view the pictures in hi-res on a desktop pc instead of the small window. Timelapse this week is almost useless. No input from me other than watering/nutrients.

Welcome to Day 50 2/5/21 My god is she tall, thank god she stopped stretching. As you can see in the pics she has a great many tops and bud points, fingers crossed she fattens up soon. I decided to add deep clean to the solution to help with the potential of salt build up. they are drinking a lot 18L every 6 days and that's a good thing, I also upped the big bud from 1 ml a L to 2 ml a L If there are any questions feel free to ask and as always happy growing and keep your stick on the ice ๐Ÿ™
