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. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the room with the growing media and nutrition throughout this adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup in the 8ร—8. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch these girls develop. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š And thank you to this girl too... for teaching me that apparently an 11-litre pot is not a reliable way to convince Amnesia Haze Pheno B to stay small. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ We learn. 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

Ok unexpected circumstances called for a harvest would have liked to leave her another 5-6 days but still amber trichomes 5% but we had a lot of foxtailing so there is new growth with not mature trichomes Can't wait to give her a test drive and I'll update the smoke review and dry bud weight when she's ready!! Thankfully the last few days were cooler so we also got some purple ๐Ÿ’œ she's massive!!! So sticky and smells amaziiiiing ๐Ÿ˜

A sad week, I found bud rot and had to take my plants out and do a big check and remove all dense underdeveloped growth. It will be a pretty big hit on the yield I guess but the most important thing is learning and that I did. The bud rot could spread due to my RH being 65/70 at nights and it used to be +80 before, + bad airflow. I got new fans in the tent and my dehumidifier was ordered already but its not in yet. On the other side, the plants are looking pretty damn good, they smell amazing and 3 of the 4 plants is getting a very dense nug structure.

New week! Tips and help from last week, I had around 1500 ppm and I did flush my roots in water and change everything. Now is around 1000 ppm and dropping 150 ppm a day. Did read about water level in DWC and how to increase the grow with water. I had the water almost up to the root or the level of there the basket is. Now I have 1-2 inch (2-5 cm) below where the roots come out. This create air roots. I'm not sure if it's the air roots or the ppm but my flower is boosting. Can se buds grow!! Trimming so I can keep the same hight. Have any tips or rekomandation? Only have one question for next week and this is: it's looking a bit thigth between the buds and all of the leaf is cristal on it. Should I cut some more leaf? And what leaf should I trim? Is so thigth in there. Or will it grow fine?

Day 113, Flower Day 57. Harvested Bubba Kush today as I felt nervous with it from last week's powdery mildew. It is hanging on hangers in the small tent drying now. GSC is going to get 1-2 more weeks.

This week I keep cheking the ripening by shooting supermacros and analysing thricomes and pistils. Watermelom is the most compact yet the first ripen, denser and stickier with healthy leaves with no yellowing at all. Dosidos is bigger and well spread after the training but despite many buds (kinda violetish) they are really not as beautiful as Watermelon's. Mimosa is going on as it has always been late...I decided to try to speed up by reducing the hours of light (from 20 to 17) and the intensity mimicking autumn. As trichomes are getting milky soon I plan to harvest Watermelon and Dosidos next week. See ya ๐Ÿ™ happy growing buddies!!

Hi Growmies, This was her last week of heavy feeding. I have already decreased the nutes for the coming week and will probably start flushing her the week after. So that she should be finished by the end of the contest pretty much. Regardless of her age the rootball has shrunk only a little bit. I have also taken her out of the scrog to enable the canopy to open up further and allow more light penetration for the maturation of the buds. This worked actually very well, as the weight of the buds pull the plant open. Thanks for stepping by and until next week!

I started to scrog The Church (left side of the closet). I topped the plants after the fourth node. Of the 4 Churches, I didn't properly top two of them. These two are looking like they are developing the main cola as well as the two side colas equally, so it seems there are three of them. Serious 6 is growing slowly. Two of the plants are staying small and scrawny. I'm wondering if that is the phenotype or if I messed up. And to top it all of, there was an accident with the Autopots :-(( This is the second time it happened in my AP system: The float gauges in one of the trays got stuck and the water kept flowing. The tray overflowed and the water ran all over my wooden floor. This also happened at night and I only discovered it the next morning. Luckily, the float became unstock at one point of time and the waterflow stopped. If it hadn't, 30 Liters of water in my tank would have caused serious issues. I was going to start the 12/12 flowering cycle next week, but looking at the Serious 6s I will postpone it by at least another week. That way the Church can scrog longer and I assume won't fill up the net as quickly as Serious 6 anyway, since it more bushy compared to the Serious 6 sativas.

Hello. This is the end of week 10 and the beginning of week 11 of veg. The plants are doing good and liking their soil. I always worry a little until I see no, growing tip, yellow leaves. But there's only some yellowing bottom leaves... which is good. Gave them a gallon of rain water a few days ago... They seemed to like it, and are growing good. Again, I poured the water down the stem to soak the root ball first, and then the water will flow under the root ball causing to roots to follow. Again... Not too much water, so the dry soil will wick the wet soil and I don't get a soaked anaerobic root ball. There was 3 days last week that I didn't even open the tent,... Rained all day. I figured the plants would get more photosynthesis from the lights, than from the rain clouds. I think this grow is going to be stinky. I could smell it outside the greenhouse before I opened it this morning. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

21.5 - 70th day of flowering and here it is. Her last week. I will probably cut her down this weekend. I don't see any significant increase in mass that would convince me that the energy expended will be adequate for the yields. Plus, she is already ripe.

Switched the Big bud to Overdrive give them that PK boost there needing, frosting and stacking nicely.... took the tip out of 90% of the top bud and I mean the tips like 1 maybe 2 calyx hopefully make them start swelling more instead of vertical growth ๐ŸคŸ

SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY TRANSPLANT #2 THIS WEEK!!!! This week was a great one, lots of sun and gave the plants their 2nd transplant of the cycle. only one left to go in a few weeks, the plan was to do 3gal but I feel it would be best to go upto 4gal a 1extra gallon will not be all that much extra root space to expand into. Will have to check if they even make them in 4. I have a feeling its only 1,2,3. Root wise they are looking similar but not identical. I would say the Dynomyco treated plant has a thicker rootball and more of them. but not by a massive amount. More white on the Dynomyco treated plant as well. added in some more Acti-Sol into the transplant medium. same mix as before. Then watered in with some LAB Serum. should do the plants well. I did not add in anymore of the MIIM microbial mass product as I thought it might alter the results of the grow. so we will see how they do now with out it. I'm really liking how well the plants are bushing up. I might have to take some clones and try them indoors as well. I think I prefer to grow more indica leaning strain for their growth habits. SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY This is my diary entry into the Dynomyco Show Us What You Got Contest! #DynomycoShowUsWhatYouGot! @DynomycoShowUsWhatYouGot! @Dynomyco Big Shoutout to @Dynomyco for picking me in their contest. Happy to be involved and as a user of Dynomyco I am curious to see this side by side with my own eyes. I will be honest I am a little skeptical it will show any major differences. but we will see what happens. Some disclaimers, I am still using LABS serum I made, This is also beneficial to the root mass however it's a bacteria based product and not fungal or mycorrhizae like Dynomyco. https://growdiaries.com/giveaways/DYNOMYCO_Show_Us_What_You_Got

The seeds germinated after 1-3 days, 1x runtz unfortunately did not germinate. 3 Days after the germination the plants were growing too quickly so I repot them them in deeper and increased the light intensity to 50% = 100 watts. When repotting in biobizz light mix, the plants were also given a load of Mykorrizah from Great white premium.

Soโ€ฆ 12 cuttings, 2 are toast right off the bat. 3 have rooted, 1 of which was transplanted into 3 gal pot and the two 8 day clones will stay another day in the humidity dome in veg tent (now known as Planck). My flowering tent is called Einstein (donโ€™t judge me!) ๐Ÿ˜‚ I have the vs1000 at 25% in Veg tent and sf4000 at 100% in flowering tent. I decided that I want feminized seeds from one (2) of these ladies so Iโ€™m going to pick two clones, one to get hit with colloidal silver to make pollen sacks and the other to get pollinated. Since both clones are female they donโ€™t have the Y chromosome so they canโ€™t make male seeds (although you could have a herm I guess and not know it. Maybe? Dunno) When the colloidal silver disrupts the plants normal flowering process it makes the plant make pollen sacks but doesnโ€™t change the DNA of the plant so you are only getting XX from the pollen. And the recipient plant is also XX so the resulting seeds are only female. If Iโ€™m wrong please correct meโ€ฆanyone!! What if I pick two clones from same mother?! Hmmmm. Also got to be careful to not pollinate the 7 in the flowering tent (Einstein). Plastic bags over the plant? Separate tent enough? We will seeโ€ฆ Iโ€™m naming the clones that root after famous female scientists I admire. The first one is Ada, after Ada Lovelace, who was an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace) The other two get named when they are transplanted. For the 7 in the flowering tent itโ€™s just hurry up and wait. Right?
