🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 9 | The Queen Is Getting Heavy 👑💚 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Well... Our Queen has reached another stage. She's still rising. She's still beautiful. She's still stretching her presence across the room. But now there's a new problem. She's getting heavy. Very heavy. 😂👑 At this point, I'm not really trying to tell Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A where to grow. I'm mostly trying to help her hold herself up. And honestly? That's a pretty good problem to have. 👑 The Queen Keeps Rising Last week, she was already sitting at an impressive 175 cm. And even though she was already one of the tallest plants in the room, she's continuing to carry herself like she has somewhere else to go. But the most interesting thing now isn't simply her height. It's the amount of flower she's carrying along that structure. This girl is becoming a heavy mama. Her branches are loaded. The flower sites are developing beautifully. And the weight is beginning to show. I've been supporting her wherever I can, using yo-yos from above and sticks placed into the substrate to give individual branches some extra support. Because apparently... 175 cm wasn't enough. Now she wants to become heavy too. 😂 🌱 Sometimes You Don't Train the Plant — You Support It There's a difference between trying to shape a plant and simply helping it carry the structure it has already created. At this stage, I'm not trying to force her into another shape. She's already told me what she wants to be. Tall. Wide. Heavy. Flower-loaded. So my job is simply to support her. Some branches want to fall. Some are carrying so much weight that they need a little assistance. And every time I think I've supported everything... another one decides: "Actually, I'm going this way." 😂 She's becoming one of those plants where the grower spends less time asking: "Where should I put this branch?" and more time asking: "Okay... how do I stop this branch from falling over?" That's the Queen. 🌸 The Flowers Are Getting Serious And underneath all that support work is the reason we're here. The flowers. They're developing beautifully. The individual sites are becoming more substantial, the calyxes are becoming increasingly visible, and the plant is continuing to build on the flowering structure we've been watching develop week after week. The difference from the earlier flowering stages is becoming more obvious now. We're moving beyond simply watching flowers appear. We're watching them develop weight and definition. And that's where things get exciting. Because when you look at a plant this large and then start noticing how much flower is distributed across the branches... you begin to understand why she's becoming so difficult to keep upright. She's carrying her own success. 😂💚 ✂️ A Little More Breathing Room We did give her another small amount of attention with the scissors. Nothing aggressive. Just a few leaves removed where they were creating unnecessary crowding. The objective remains the same: Open space without taking away what the plant still needs. She's still beautifully lush. She's still carrying plenty of healthy foliage. And I like that balance. There's enough leaf mass to keep the plant working hard, while selected areas have been opened enough to improve visibility and breathing room around the developing flowers. I don't want to strip a plant simply because we're deeper into flowering. I want to respond to what the plant is actually showing me. And right now, what she's showing me is: "I'm growing. I'm flowering. And I'm getting heavy." Fair enough, Queen. 👑 💚 Still Beautifully Lush One of the things that continues to impress me about this phenotype is the amount of healthy green she maintains. She's tall. She's heavily branched. She's carrying flowers everywhere. She's been selectively defoliated. And yet she still has that beautiful, lush appearance that has been part of her personality from the beginning. There is something very satisfying about looking at her structure now. The main framework is established. The branches are supporting their flowers. The canopy has opened slightly. And the plant has this wonderful combination of height, density and strength. She's not just tall anymore. She's becoming substantial. 💡 Light From Above & Below The lighting ecosystem continues doing its job throughout the room. The Future of Grow LED Black Series provides the primary overhead lighting, while the additional under-canopy lighting continues giving the lower portions of these tall plants another source of illumination. And with a phenotype like this, that becomes particularly interesting. She's got flowers distributed from high up in the canopy down through the lower structure. Her height creates a huge vertical range. So I'm especially interested in watching how consistently those different levels continue developing. The Queen may be tall... but she's not leaving the lower floor behind. 🌱💡 💧 Feeding the Heavy Mama The overall flowering nutrition strategy remains consistent with the room. This week's program continues with: 🌸 Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH adjustment products – as required The nutrient solution remains around 2.0 mS/cm, with pH approximately 6.0. No special recipe for the Queen. No secret sauce. She's receiving the same overall strategy as the rest of the room. And she's responding by becoming a giant, flower-carrying problem child. 😂👑 I wouldn't have it any other way. 🌡️ The Environment The current recorded conditions remain: 🌸 Flower Week: 9 📏 Height: 175 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: 636 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h The room continues to remain remarkably consistent. And once again, that's what makes the differences between these plants so interesting. Same ecosystem. Different genetics. Different personalities. Different structures. Different stories. 📸 The Camera Keeps Finding Something New The photographs continue to show just how much this girl has developed. From the wider views, you immediately see the scale. She's enormous compared with many of the other phenotypes. Then you get closer. And the story changes. You see the flowers. The pistils. The developing calyxes. The increasingly complex structure. The leaves surrounding everything. And then you look at the branches and realize: She's heavy. The supports aren't there because we're trying to make her pretty. They're there because the plant has simply produced enough structure and weight that some of those branches need a little help. And honestly... I think that's beautiful. 🔮 What's Coming Next? This is where I become very curious. We've watched her stretch. We've watched her flower. We've watched her develop. We've opened her canopy slightly. And now we're watching the plant transition into something much heavier. The coming weeks should tell us a lot about how much those flowers continue to develop and how much more weight these branches are going to carry. Which means my job may become increasingly simple: Check the flowers. Check the supports. Check the branches. Add another yo-yo. Move another stick. And wonder how this girl keeps finding ways to become heavier. 😂 👑 The Queen Deserves the Spotlight There are plenty of beautiful plants in this room. But Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A has earned a very particular place in this adventure. She's the Queen of the Canopy. She's one of the tallest. She's incredibly vigorous. She's beautifully lush. She's quirky. She's heavily branched. She's producing flowers from top to bottom. And now... she's getting heavy. So we're helping her. Not changing her. Not forcing her. Not trying to make her something else. Just giving her the support she needs to carry what she's built. A few leaves removed here. A yo-yo there. A stick in the substrate. And plenty of admiration. Because sometimes cultivation isn't about making the plant grow the way you want. Sometimes it's simply about saying: "Okay, girl. You've built this. I'll help you hold it." 👑💚 And that's exactly where we are with this Queen. 💚 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another reminder that every phenotype has its own personality. The 8×8 Adventure continues to fascinate me because twelve plants can share the same room, the same environment, the same nutrition and the same lighting philosophy... and still become twelve completely different characters. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A chose to become the giant. Then she decided to become the heavy giant. 😂👑 And I absolutely love watching it happen. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for giving growers a place to document, share, learn and inspire. 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the genetics behind this remarkable Amnesia Haze Auto phenotype. 💜 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting this adventure. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for the lighting powering the room. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. ✨ Lumiflora — for bringing additional light into the lower canopy and giving us another fascinating variable to observe. And thank you to everyone following along, commenting, sharing knowledge and enjoying this adventure with me. The Queen keeps rising. The Queen keeps flowering. The Queen keeps getting heavier. And apparently... the Queen is going to need more yo-yos. 😂👑💚 Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. And let's keep giving this beautiful girl the spotlight she has earned. Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱👑💚

Had a bit of a cat-tastrophy this week. I left my tent open to go and fill a bucket of water, came back and zipped it up. What I didn't know is that the cat got in. Not 5 minutes later I can hear all sorts of shit moving around so I came in to find I had zipped him and and he went bonkers and bent almost every branch on the Skunk. So I had to do emergency tie jobs, but I ended up losing 2 medium colas and 1 small one. Could have been much worse if the skrog net wasn't there to stop them from snapping. Injuries look like bent plastic straws, so I'm going to be watching her closely to see if she herms from that massive amount of stress. Some of the pics have cat hair in them, thank the little brat. Anyway, Skunk is a 45-50 day finisher so I'm going another week and then she gets the chop. Lots of microscope videos today and finally found an amoeba. Also something moving in an egg...what is it? That's at 400x so I think it's a nematode egg based on what I found online. If you look closely at the super zoomed in trichome shot, you can see the reflections of other trichomes...just fucking epic.👏 All the food stops now, too much in the soil for her to start senescence. Nothing but water and FFJ now. New pistils are still coming in so who knows, maybe she'll keep going a few more weeks.

Filled in nicely after all cropping was done.Mostly the bottom and midsection show great development. I've had them on a 16 hr schedule for a few weeks I think I'll flip the lights to 13/11 tonight. Trying something different in lowering the daylight time gradually to a final end of flowering light/dark of 10/14.

Just come back to post a result for you guys, been really busy lately and we just open our own dispensary in Thailand. The coco grow medium just requires lot of work compared to RDWC and the yield is almost similar but just a bit lower paces. Keep on getting high, Cheers

Familia, estamos de vuelta, y es que esta cepa me enamora, corta floración, poca distancia entre nudos y un tallo grueso, tiene bastante follaje, pronto haremos poda de bajos ya que no terminarán de formar bien abajo. Ph controlado y temperatura dentro de nuestros parámetros. Cambiamos la disposiciones del armario y en el interior hubo algún movimiento. No obstante todo va sobre ruedas familia. Aquí aportaremos pronto el brutal bud un engordador de cogollos .

6/15 Everything was dry this morning but the bags STILL had some heft. Much lighter though so I decided to water. I didn't realize how cold the hose is so I'll have to usecthe water inside or premix it. I watered everything at least a half gallon. Things are going great. I'll update as I go. UPDATE: IM GLAD I WATERED. ITS 73° OUT AND NICE AND SUNNY. 6/16 Foggy morning has turned into a sunny day! Plants are doing amazing. So glad I watered. I took a shit ton of pictures but they don't seem to be uploading. VERY FRUSTRATING TO TAKE THE TIME TO TAKE PICS AND VIDEO ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT UPLOAD. It's working now. I canceled out after I uploaded everything. Trying to upload again now. EDIT: EVERYTHING IS FIXED. I UPLOADED A BUNCH OF STUFF. PLANTS IN THE BACK AND THE FRONT SEEMED DRY AND LIGHT. I GAVE THE TWO 10'S AT LEAST A HALF GALLON. I GAVE THE THIRTY A GALLON AND SPLIT THE REMAINDER WITH THE 20'S. I MIXED UP 5 GALLONS. EVEN THOUGH THE PLANTS IN THE MIDDLE WERE DRY THEY STILL WERE FAIRLY HEAVY. IT IS SUNNY AND 80° WITH STRONG WIND. I'LL WATER THE OTHERS IF NEEDED BEFORE WE GET SOME RAIN. WE HAVE RAIN IN THE FORECAST SO ILL KEEP AN EYE OUT. IM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE GROWTH IM SEEING. I NEED TO DO SOME MORE LST SOON AND PUT UP A TRELLIS. 6/17 I'm glad I watered those plants. Everything is looking GREAT! I didn't get pictures as I was in a hurry. The 3 plants in tje middle are dry on top bit about as heavy as the others. The wind doesn't go through them like the others. I would've watered but they looked happy and we are supposed to be getting rain. I'll be back over later and re-evaluate. EDIT: I GAVE THE THREE IN THE MIDDLE ABOUT A HALF GALLON EACH. EVERUTHING IS LOOKING FANTASTIC. I LSTED SOME. ITS SUPPOSED TO RAIN TONIGHT AND A LITTLE BIT WITHIN THE DEW DAYS BUT NOT WHAT THEY NEED. IM JUST TRYING TO NOT OVER WATER. IM REALLY HAPPY WITH WHAT IM SEEING. 6/18 It's overcast with showers. Rained hard last night and it's been raining off and on this morning. I probably could've made it without watering the three in the middle but I didn't want to chance it. Plus the rain doesn't add up to much anyway. Plants were soaked this morning. Soaked me just shaking them off. I'll update later. This year has been really good so far. 6/19 Overcast and Maineing out (tiny sprinkles tuat appear intermittently). Plants love it. Apparently I've reached my photo limit. At least that's what the app says. AT least I got SOME of these pictures and the video up. I can't belueve the increase in size both vertically, laterally and width. Branches are long and thick. This rain, sun, rain, sun type weather is creating some monsters. Can't wait to see the result. Still on the fence about light depoing. One thing I DO need to do is put up trellises. It sucks if I can't upload anymore pictures or videos. If I see something great I'll just delete a dfferent picture. 6/20 Not raining but still overcast. 71° at 9:15. Plants are still doing amazing. I've dedoliated some damaged old leaves. I can see some plants have shot a few pistols but I don't think reveg will be a big problem. Some have no signs of reveg. A couple spit out a few three finger leaves but that could be from the environmental stressor. I kept my second mk ultra without topping or fimmed. It's stalk is enormous and just the LEAFLETS are bigger than my wrist. ENORMOUS fan leaves. I think this is going to be a great year.

This week I did a single topping at the 5th node. Along with this I applied low stress training and tucking to expose the new growth.

~ AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System sponsored by GrowAce, featuring Tropicana Cookies by FastBuds ~ Well guy's and gal's here we go again on another exciting Autoflower run together! This time will be different as I will be doing a 'Hydroponic' run utilizing the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System by GrowAce, who were kind enough to sponsor me for this run, so it should be interesting to see what results I get and have some fun along the way! •Let me first tell you about this 6 Pot Ebb/Flow system from GrowAce: "The AirCube system is the one and only Ebb & Flow grow system on the market that combines the benefits of air pruning with a fully automated Ebb+Flow system! With the AirCube's proprietary fabric pot in bucket design, this system is guaranteed to outgrow any other Ebb + Flow system on the market. The results speak for themselves- grow MASSIVE roots that result in MASSIVE fruits! Air Pruning- Air Pruning only happens with fabric pots. As the roots reach the fabric walls of the pot, they penetrate and grow into the breathable fabric. Once penetrated, the roots are exposed to air, which causes the tips of the root to dehydrate and naturally prune themselves. This natural pruning process forces the roots to grow tons of lateral fibrous feeder roots. This results in a plant that utilizes the entire root zone and fills the entire pot with tons of roots. These fibrous feeder roots are incredibly effective in uptaking water and nutrients, resulting in a plant that grows healthier and more vigorously! Oxygen Benefits- Without oxygen, nutrient absorption cannot occur. On a molecular level, oxygen is needed to transmit nutrients across the cell walls and into the roots of a plant. With the AirCube's proprietary bottom lifted draining design, the system actively draws all of the water out of the bucket pulls vital oxygen into the root zone. Maximum Versatility with Any Grow Medium: The AirCube System is the only system on the market that allows you to use any growing medium you like. Use coco coir, soil, peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, hydroton, rockwool or any other medium you wish! This system is the most versatile Ebb and Flow bucket system in today's hydroponics industry. Temperature Control- with the fabric pots constructed with highly porous polypropylene fabric, heat dissipates easily and effectively. Unlike standard plastic pots, heat isn't trapped in the root zone. Heat in standard plastic containers can reach temperatures of up to 125 degrees. When this type of heat is trapped and unable to escape, it can damage your plant's health and limit the potential of your harvest. Growing in the AirCube System, plant roots grow cooler, healthier, and more vigorous. Largest Pots in its Class- this system features 5 Gallon grow buckets, the largest pot size of any other ebb and flow hydroponic system in the market. Modular and Expandable- start with 6 grow buckets and expand up to 36 grow buckets with the optional 105 gallons PopTank reservoir!" For my medium and nutrients I decided to also switch things up from my regular Organic runs, going with Plagron Nutrients and Root Royale 70/30 Coco/Perlite. When filling the fabric pots with medium, I first added just under a gallon of horticulture perlite from Nor-Cal as a base layer to ensure good drainage and then filled the remainder with the Root Royale. •Now for the outstanding, award winning strain from my friends at FastBuds... Tropicana Cookies Auto: I'll be running Tropicana Cookies Autoflower which is a 60/40 Indica/Sativa Hybrid. "Tropicana Cookies Auto is the perfect variety for growers of all levels, especially beginners as this strain performs very well outdoors and indoors, and can produce up to 500 gr/m2 in 56-63 days without needing extra maintenance. Reaching up to 110 cm, this strain grows fairly tall with medium-sized branching, showing its mixed heritage. Definitely the right choice for those with a high tolerance looking to get their hands on the strongest autoflowers out there. You can expect an extremely powerful and long-lasting high that’ll boost your mood and give you that extra push you need to start your days on the right foot. This variety offers the whole range of citrus and woody flavors with a strong candy-sweet background that will keep you coming back for more and more."* *References: GrowAce.com, 2fast4buds.com ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: • AC Infinity 4x4 tent •AC Infinity Cloudline T6 Exhaust Fan w/ Controller 67 •HLG 650R w/UVA Bar *** For some reason GD does NOT have a listing for the USA version of the 650R so I selected the closest match to it. •AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow 6 pot System •DL Wholesale Root Royale Coco Lite 70/30 coco/perlite •TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller for light •AutoPilot APC8200 co2 controller fed by a 50# tank •16" Hurricane oscillating fan and 8" floor fan •Tent cooling via filtered outside air delivered by AC Infinity Cloudline T6 fan •BlueLab instruments: PH Pen and Truncheon Nutrient Meter ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 11/26- My oh my! Week 5 of flower's here and these ladies are looking sexy as hell!🔥🤪 11/28- All three Tropicana Cookies are getting to the point that it's time to begin flushing them. My dilemma is that, with six pots in the closed loop system and three of them occupied by a different strain that is 10+ days behind the Tropicana Cookies, I can't run straight water through the system to flush without negatively affecting the other strain that is right in the middle of flower. My solution that I've come up with is to pull the Tropicana Cookies from the AirCubes and put them on drip trays so that I can flush them without affecting the flowering of the three plants from the other strain. *Note to self: When starting a run with this system, MAKE SURE ALL six plants break ground together! Also growing a single strain would be way better than mixing strains with this system as you can only give one strength of nutrients regardless of what each particular plant needs for optimum growth. 11/30- Today was the LAST day that these ladies have to sit in the AirCubes. This evening, right after 'lights on', I pulled all three plants from the AirCubes and placed them on plastic drip trays that hold a little over 2L. When I pulled them the first thing I noticed (besides the odor) was the amount of roots that were growing outside of the fabric pot (I thought they were supposed to 'air prune' the roots) and the copious brown slime coating the inside of the bucket and the bottom of the fabric pot...smh. So, from here on out I'll be manually flushing all three with 2L each of straight well water that has a 150ppm base, to which I add 1/64th teaspoon of NPK Yucca Extract, then I ph it to 6.0 @ 68℉. After flushing, I wait around 15min, then I use a wet vac to remove the runoff from the drip tray. 12/2- I'm continuing to flush all three at an interval of 3 times daily with 2L of water and they all are doing fantastic! The #3 is starting to fade, and the pistils on both the #1 and #2 are turning color from snow white to a darker tan or red, and I anticipate their fade to begin sometime soon. Well Fam, there's five weeks of flower on the books and these ladies are just about ready to finish up! See you next week for what could be the finish for the FastBuds Tropicana Cookies! 😎🙏💖 💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow what you love, Love what you grow!💚

June 14: this Sunday Punch EV is a very fast growing plant that can handle some cool weather. The ruderalis genetics from the autoflower used to create this fast flowering (Early Version) add some toughness that make it well suited to short season areas. Likes to stretch too. 😎 it was to be a 16 cola manifold but it has grown so fast i realized I can also match another 8 colas from the next lower node. So i did that final round of topping this morning and we’ll see how it goes. Added second layer of Scrog net to stabilize it and keep the fan leaves from shading the growth tips. June 15: did the weekly foliar spray with Extreme Blend this morning. Rained last couple days which cleared the air of smoke and now it’s a nice sunny Sunday.

all in all it was a great run and im glad to have grew it and plan to grow it again in the future
