For most people, growing marijuana indoors seems like the best practice. Some find indoor grows are more discreet and give growers the ability to control factors which can help maximize their grow. Unfortunately, indoor plants tend to be smaller and require more time, effort, and work.
For these reasons, some growers believe growing outdoors is the superior practice. It is the best way to keep equipment costs down, produce a high yield, and possibly have higher quality weed because of the natural setting. Cannabis grown outdoors end up becoming healthier, and stronger plants with fewer problems.
This grow journal features Amnesia Haze and Royal Haze grown outdoors. Will these two cannabis strains be suitable for growing outdoors?
The Amnesia Haze is moderately difficult to grow with a flowering period of 10 to 12 weeks and can grow up to 2 meters. It can potentially produce 250 to 500 grams per square meter.
Efforts to grow Amnesia Haze are worth it because it’s the perfect strain to jumpstart your day with a smile on your face. It produces an unforgettable uplifting, energetic buzz. Not only that, but its flavors contain hints of lemons and citrus.
Meanwhile, the Royal Haze is also moderately difficult to cultivate but it can produce 500 grams per square meters when grown indoors, and cup to 900 grams per plant when grown outdoors. It also has a very high THC content at 20% which gives an uplifting, relaxing high.’

August 4th
This grow journal started out with 2 x Amnesia Haze feminized seeds and 2 x Royal Haze autos. The seeds were soaked in a glass of water overnight and were germinated in a paper towel. All 4 seeds sprouted although one of the Royal Haze autos is a couple of days behind.
The first big mistake was starting the autos in small pots which resulted in the weaker Royal Haze auto dying after being transferred into a larger pot. The other Royall Haze made it to harvest but was severely stunted and only produced a paltry 7 grams. All the Amnesia Haze plants are alive and kicking. The rest of this thread will exclusively follow their progress.
After two weeks, the girls were fed with 50% strength Tomato Fertilizer. This is also to help fix the damage done by overwatering.
After receiving some Tomato Fertilizer and adhering to a tighter watering schedule, the plants started some real growth. This Amnesia Haze has beautifully developed her first few set of leaves.
A couple of days later, both plants were topped early to grow a decent bush.
The ladies were able to tolerate the procedure well. A week after topping, they were sprayed with Seaweed Fertilizer once a week plus the Tomato Fertilizer at full strength. This impromptu structure gives them better support against strong winds.
Unfortunately, pests were a problem too. Insects were trying to eat their way through the plants.
A combination of Neem Oil and some hand soap worked wonders to get rid of the bugs.
After the bug infestation, the plants were able to enter the flowering stage stress-free. The switch was made to BioBuzz Grow and Bloom fertilizer which seems to be working well. Harvest should be around late October.
And now that you’re all caught up with what happened in the past weeks, here are the latest photos.
August 10th
The main plant seems to have started stretching. Both pants are also showing early signs of flower.
August 14th
Just letting these kids soak up the Spanish sun with just 2 or 3 feeds a week. Looks like the October harvest will be right on schedule.
August 23rd
Seems like the plants were overwatered. The bottom tray was removed and the water was allowed to drain out of the pot. Had to wait until the soil dried up before watering again.
August 26th
She seems to have recovered now. Just gave her a good watering and feed plus kept her out of the harsh, direct sunlight for a few days.
August 28th
Although both plants are from the same batch of Amnesia Haze seeds, they look so different. And even if they were planted in the same media at the same time 16 weeks ago, they seem to be progressing at different speeds.
The smaller plant has been in flower for a few weeks now as you can see below.
And the larger plant has only just started to flower.
At this rate, it’s going to be a November harvest for these beauties.
September 12th
Both plants are doing fine although both plants are showing browning pistils. This is normal for this strain.
