Abouttime's 2nd grow. Super Skunk, Amnesia Haze AUTO x2 and LA Cake

Hi all, Been a little lazy posting uodates. @blackthumbbetty, @Sixpackdad, @Hogmaster, Im thinking one of the Amnesia Autos aint an Auto!!!. The one on the left is defintely an Auto I believe cuz its so small and flowering already. The one on the right I thought I labeled right. Its much bigger but it seems as if its transitioning to flower but its much larger as you see. Since this is my first try at Auto’s Im not sure if this normal???

The little Amnesia…


I ran out of room again since I over did it with seeds. I took the 2 Amnesia Autos and stuck them in my smaller original tent. I put them under one of my blurple lights, set up the exhaust and a fan to blow the air around. The temps with the blurple lights are startingly much higher than the tent with the QB light. Over a ten degree hotter. I’ll grow these 2 AH’s and then THATS IT!!. Wifey aint to happy I took over one of the bdrooms now for it…
I’m planning on flipping the switch in another two weeks on the skunk and LA cake. The blackberry kush will go outside during the day at that time while the till the others are harvested. Then I’ll bring her in to flower in the tent.
Feedings are mostly just water pH’d to 6.2 -6.5. Once a week I add 10ml per gal. of kelp and cal mag. Runoff at the beginning of the grow was sometimes 2500ppm…its down to 1200. My guess is Im washing out the FF soil as I water. Ill start adding nutes as they enter flower.

Sure is normal, especially for plants grown from seed. Probably just different phenotypes.

Or…you had a pothead moment while labeling your plants. :grinning:

Puff puff pass…

Little update…Did a feed with 10ml per gal of FF Grow Big for all the girls. The 5 gal Skunk pot got about 1 1/2 gals of water to runoff. The others are all in 3 gal pots. They get about 3/4 gal each to runoff. The Auto’s also got a little feed as well. IHave to get another humidifier for the small tent. Humidity is low around here right now so the tent is in the 20’s. The bigger tent is doing well with 75’ temps and humidity in the 60% range.

Heres an update in pics…

The little runt ILGM Amnesia Haze Auto

The big sister Amnesia Haze Auto.

Side by side in their 20" x 36" x 60" tent with the chinese blurple. Temps are in the low 80’s now. I have a vent open to the attic so some fresh air is getting pulled in now. Helped bring temps down 5 degrees. Humidity is mostly in the low 40’s. The girls are about 3 weeks apart but the little guy went into flower first… Way cool @blackthumbbetty, @Jarnkat, @dbrn32, @Sixpackdad, @Growndaddy5589

The Photo tent with zip seed LA Cake on the left, the Super Skunk on the right , and the Blackberry Kush in the middle.


Enjoy folks!

Hi @blackthumbbetty, Is it ok to prune off the dead yellowing leaves on an auto or is this not advised?

Not @blackthumbbetty but IMO it is definitely ok to remove leaves that is not beneficial to the plant!!

Heres an update on how many days each of my girls are working since they were started. All dates start from when the seedling broke ground.
The runt Amnesia is barely 41 days old and has been in flower for about 10 days…


Along with her sister who is 58 days old and in her 14th day of flower but at a slower pace.

They are both in thier own tent on a 14-10 light schedule.

The Blackberry Kush is at 47 days.

The La Cake is at 54 days

The Super Skunk is at 81 days.

These three are in the same tent. Im flipping both the Skunk and the Cake today. I’ll pull the BBK and put it under another Blurple I have for another 2 weeks and then Ill pop her back in the tent. After that I’ll probably scrog the three of them to keep em seperated and supported for the flower phase.

Puff puff pass…

Update time…
The little Amnesia is kickin ass after 49 days its stating to fatten up the buds are dense are hard.

The older and bigger Amnesia auto. Shes into flower now and has a nice size to her…im hoping for a nice yield on this one. Shes about two weeks behind in flower than the smaller younger Amnesia Auto above.

The Blackberry Kush photo…Im going to let her grow out till one of the tents is ready, so shes gonna be big.

A big Thanks to @Sixpackdad for recommending the fox farms soil. What a difference a grow makes!lol
With the LST done on each since the beginning, these guys are full and up until now problem free. Been mainly straight phd water and some nutes once a week with kelp added everyother watering as well.
Addl’ nutes have foxfarms grow big early on and now starting to transition to tiger and bloom after 2 weeks of transition. Comment concerns always welcomed…puff puff pass @blackthumbbetty, @raustin.

Another update on the rest of the grow…
The Skunk and the La Cake are transitioning to flower now. They’ve gotten big enough that I have to flip them in order to maintain some airflow in the 2x4 tent they’re in. For those of you that are wondering how many plants are doable in a 2x4? IMHO: thats it!
If they’re bushy like mine then 2 is the most I would suggest.


I also tried my hand at cloning again and Im glad to report that I have 3 clones going successfully as they’re now adding some new growth after about 2 weeks. I planted them together in a 3 gal pot with very little soil that was made up of primarily worm castings and a little foxfarms OF.


Ill transplant this weekend into seperate pots and hope for the best. If successful, Ill be going on a grow hiatus for the rest of the year.
But theres still plenty of work and worrying to do before then!
The Blackberry Kush is doing well as she awaits her turn to flower.

Also the stems or trunks!! even of this go 'round. These are my results from twice daily LST from day 5 of seedlings. Ive now begun LST on the clones too…we’ll see if I can get the same results.

Happy Easter to you all…Puff puff pass…

Hi all, Heres my latest update.
The Little Amnesia Haze auto is doing well…Shes really filling out now.


Her older bigger sister is also in flower but quite a bit behind. She was started first, but took her time to go into flower.

The Skunk and the La Cake are into flower now and and theres alot of colas. They self topped twice after I did once as well and are going to be full of goodness.

As you can see these babies were trained to be short and fat.
The skunk

The Cake


Pretty much been watering flood to drought and keeping the nutes to a mininum. Ive added organins kelp every watering and cal mag as well. Every other watering also bring a few nutes… mainly FF trio of nutes, a little Bregmans nutes as well.
All water going in is Ph’d to 6.2-6.5.
See y’as later!

My thinking is that Ive been stressing out the blackberry kush a bit so im going to flip her and hope for the best Shes a nice size and Ill probably put her in with the big sister Amnesia after her little older sister is done. Which should be soon. Im starting to see some discoloration in some bottom leaves of which there have been absolutely none till now.
This is the Blackberry K. Shes at 65 days of veg and the flip has begun. She should be ready by July 1st.

Hi All, Another long winded post here. Thanks for reading and please forgive my NYC accent!!
I have alot of folks to thank for guidance on this site. Some of it direct and some from just reading your grows. You all rock and I wish I can share with all of you far and wide.
@Sixpackdad, @dbrn32, @Missiles, @blackthumbbetty, @Jarnkat, @raustin, Grandaddy013, @Oldguy, @Haildamaged, Hogmaster, @DoobieNoobie, @Mikos.
Can only nemtion 10 per post so some of you I had to remove the"@".

My latest update is my greatest update. I flushed the little Amnesia Haze Auto after looking at her trichs…they’re right around 50/50 right now so I did A Sledge Hammer flush with 6.5 ph’d water and now its just water for the next two weeks with Turpenes from Signal added only.
I will again be splitting the stem, which I’ll do next week and then she’ll go to darkness for 48 hrs. I am so looking forward to trying this baby out. She’s super sticky, and smells great. Regardless of my plan I’ll really be watching for her to start eating herself and start showing some color before she’s harvested ultimately.
Because I germinated too many for the tent I was working with I had to scramble and put my first tent back together again and use my old blurple for the tent. So excuse the blurple light pics. They both started under the QB in the larger tent as they all did but I had to go back to the blurple. Ill be able to get a good comparison I think with the three grows. Tho honestly it looks like its all in the training of the plant that determines the size and shape it will be. Altho the QB runs much cooler Ive been able to keep the lights between 12"-16" the entire grow. The simple to do and extremely effective process led to these great bushes. So much different than my first grow.
The Amnesia Autos have not been topped and its evident on the little lady but the big sister made multiple colas on its own with the LST I did from day 5 out of the ground.


Side by side progress shot of the 2 Amnesia Autos.
The one on the right is older bigger and took its time to transition to flower. The little guys is at 63 days or so. Her big sister is at 80 days and filling up now. They have different appearances as well. The big sister is a lighter shade of green.
The La Cake Super Skunk are well into flowering as well in the larger tent where they have plenty of room. No scrog for me on this grow as I have the room to let them grow wild and it allows me to rotate the pots every day so they get even exposure all around.
The LA Cake zip seed. Got super lucky with this one…It’s a female!

The Superskunk



Last but not least is the Blackberry Kush. She’s been flipped and is starting her transition. She’s still getting her veg nutes. (FF Grow Big and Bregmans) I switch em uo every other watering and go light dosages. Every watering gets 10ml per gal of cal mag and Sea Kelp from General Organics?.
Because of her confined space she grew a little taller than tbe others but shes developed about 6 main colas with 1 topping and LST from 5 days out.

I have been very fortunate so far with this grow. Bugs are nonexistent. I attribute it to stable temps watering flood to dought and the 2 weeks of NEEM oil I did early on, twice a day as directed.
So far no difficencies have cropped up thanks to the FFOF soil I used for this grow. I also have used 1/4 nutes only after 6 weeks passed of growth when I noticed the ppms drop into the 400’s. Ive maintained the ppms at 800-1100 runoff since.

Puff puff pass!
