I've got a slight burn on the leaves , I flushed the pots out with water because my previous feed may have been too strong, I then fed a half strength feed . I am also giving ionic cal mag at the start of each week. I am giving a pro xl root stimulator with each feed

I noticed that I had what I thought was nute burn, I had only been feeding half strength canna A/B coco feed so I was confused and just thought that I had a sensitive strain on my hands ( ph5.8 I noticed my lights were on 24hrs! Would this cause the brown leaves?

Hello ! In coco not only the PH matter , the EC/ppm is very important as you need to check your EC to know how much nutrients you give them. Are you using canna A+B or just B (Your infos says only the B part) ? You need to know that the input ec and ph can be different from the output (water runoff) , so you also need to check the water runoff values and correct the input when necessary, for exemple you can have a 5.8ph input but a 5.5 output . That said , it's looks like a nutrient burnt to me. I hope it will help you 😁👍

Been on 12hrs of light for 1 week, I have been waiting for the stretch befor I laid my net down . I have made a dripper ring self watering system which is set to feed 1lt as soon as lights come on. They look really healthy and strong, the branches are nice and thick, I feel I'm going going to have a nice result judging on how they look so far. I will change to full spectrum bulbs next week. They have responded well to the super cropping I have done. It has been really good to have given these extra Few weeks in veg

Good week so far, I laid my net down , always a Nice feeling when the net goes down and I can start focusing on creating my canopy. I will start bending my branches out to fill the net space up and to create room for lower branches to get some light. I defoliated a bit and stripped the lower branches just after I took these pictures , i know there are different schools of thought surrounding defoliating so soon into flowering , but im doing hst and i like to see what I'm doing dealing with and what my branches are producing. I'm happy so far

My canopy is now almost full, I will take anything that is not poking through the and remove it at the end of this week and start to give them mills c4 as it is a gentle pk with a gradual build up . I also have some left from my last run. HAIRS are just starting to show. Thanks for the support spinnergrow

I've read that Ghost Train Haze takes 10 weeks to flower, I have only ever grown 8 week flowering plants in the past. I am at 3 weeks of flower at the moment and my plants are only just showing 1or 2 hairs here and there. At what week will I need to add Pk?

Hello @The_La ! They will start flowering soon. From the third week you can start adding slowly and go to maximum dose at around week 6 but in order to be sure about the dose you have to use an EC meter. You also have to lower your humidity or you are going to have serious problems later. Do it by increasing the air circulation with a fan and make a light defoliation so the air can move freely. Also it would be nice if you could correct the night temperature. Happy growing ! 👊

All going well so far, as this is the first run with GTH and a 10 week flwr grow, it seems that they take a few extra week so to show flowers, Flowers are showing now . I have been bending the tops down to allow the nodes to turn up to encourage more individual heads . MY canopy Is full now . I HAVE removed a lot of leaves to let the light penetrate through the canopy. I am happy 😊 I will start giving some mills c4 that I have left , it is a gentle pk, next week I will give them monster bloom as it is a heavy pk, I am just building them up

This week I changed a few elements, I changed my nutes to mills, I used mills on my last grow and had a really good result, I also like the fact that's it takes 1 week to flush, this is because it is made of organic and inorganic compounds and contains less salts. The only reason I didn't go with mills from the start was purely financial, canna is cheaper and doesn't require the expensive "start" additive like mills. The guy in my local shop swears by mills and gave me a bottle of c4 for free so I switched. I also added a greenhouse tube heater as my lights off temp was dropping to around 6c. I'm at 12c now and can live with that. My flowers are forming nicely with small spacing in between each node and I have been bending the branches down to encourage growth. This is going as planned and I'm loving this run 👊

Nice progress this week, flowers forming nicely. I gave them mills pk and they are looking happy. I took a lot of shade leaves off to let the light through to the lower buds . All good so far ⚡️ I also started giving ultimate pk, they are responding well, I think really good to start seeing aeeing action off the the girls, I've never grown this strain before and she takes ages to get going. I've got a feeling it's going to be worth the wait.

I don't know if I am just getting impatient but these GTH are taking ages . IM 7 weeks in and they could go as far as another 5 weeks!! Christmas is coming and my buds ain't getting fat 🙄 I just need to be patient. I'm going to add another 600w as I can afford it heatwise and after so long flowering i want to do all I can think to good result . I can't wait to see the back of this one 👊 3 days after this post I had a good growth spurt and some major development in my bud structure, on reflection, my plants look lovely. THe leaves are healthy and shiny, they are dark . I tied a lot of branches down and defoliated . THis has helped keep humidity levels down during lights out and also have given me the chance to have a good look at what's going on below the colas. I'm really pleased 😁. I was a bit down at the start of this week as you can tell by the start of my diary but by the looks of things it's gonna be a monster. I am just getting used to the strain so it has been a Step into the unknown , Thanks for the support ant to the fellow growers who have offered their advice Big up 👊

Can I have too much light in my tent? I have 3 600w dual spectrum hID in my 2.4 mtr tent My temps are fine , 30 inches between bulb and plant top , but one of my plants has started to foxtail a bit ( like a crown ) I know people with 2 gavitas ( 2k watts) without this issue,

the main reason plants foxtail is light issues , the other reasons could be stress, gens and temperatures. can you actually have too much light with LEDs... kinda not, i mean the sun is the brightest thing you can find on earth , probably beats 10 1kW lights no problem, and it does it daily. What might have happened is inconsistent lighting. So if you add more and more light, the plant freaks out because it's expecting less and less light as time goes on. Say in nature the plant should live through summer then near the end of its life in autumn which would have less light not more. So that's a common source of stress. Varying light distances also doesnt help if you don t do it right, that could be the other source. As a final comment on foxtailing : does it suck ? yeah a bit, but those foxtails are hella potent , and in the end they dont end up hurting yield much at all. Just check the trychomes, for when it's done. If it's started foxtailing, nothing much you can do about it - just ride that wave all the way to the finish line. Hope this helps bro! 🚀

This week I had a fan die on me, luckily I spotted it just in time and replaced it . Things are fattening up now , I'm in the start of wk 9 so I'm on the final push. The flowers are well developed and should start putting some weight on in the next 3 weeks . It's been an eventful grow with lots of ups and downs and I will be happy to kick back and sample the goods knowing that I have put a hell of a lot of work into this one . She is looking frosty and smells fruity . Merry Christmas fellow growers 🎄

We are in to the 10th week of flower. I stopped ultimate pk as I ran out of it , also I can't find any info re 12wk flowering feed schedule. All looking good, some of the top leaves are a bit dry maybe that is because they are coming to the end of wk10 . Some leaf tips are starting to turn purple but that is probably down to temps, lowest temp during lights off has been 9c , not perfect but hey ho . I am going to flush towards the end of wk11 , I will flush for 10 days, as mills nutrients are a mix of non organic and organic ingredients it only requires 7 days of flush but I will flush for 10 just to make Sure . Buds smell incredibly sweet and are very frosty I had another look while lights were off which gives me a better idea of progress, I am going to start my 10 day flush from tomorrow and take these down at the start of wk12

I am 2 days into flushing , the buds look nice and frosty and are smelling good , I will flush for 9 days before trimming. The pictures are not the best in the world and don't quite do them justice . I will get some pics posted during lights out . This has been the longest grow I have ever done , I really hope she's worth it ! I've taken these girls as far as I can go , by looking at the pictures when lights are of I can clearly see they are finished . They are turning purple but that's because of the cold climate here and that temps are dropping to 9c once lights are off .

It was an interesting grow in hind sight, I had my ups and downs along the way . It was my First haze and wasn't prepared for the 12 wk flowing cycle. My girls took until wk 3-4 to show any hairs!! I was starting to think that they would never do it. I was battling with my nighttime temps , sometimes they would drop to 3c. I installed a 190w 1.5m greenhouse tube heater and managed to raise it to 9c. I installed another a few weeks after and managed to keep a temp of 12c when lights were off. It seemed like I was constantly waiting for a growth spurt as the flowers didn't seem to kick off until Around wk 8 . I had some foxtails, mainly on the left side Of my tent , the foxtails were like crowns ( 4 growing out of the tip of the cola). This also made the main bud a bit loose . The flavour is nice and sweet with a pungent smell, some have said like cheese . It is a really strong bid to smoke , one joint and that's it for 2 hours , really creative . I wouldn't grow this strain again due to the sheer amount of time that goes into it , not to mention the extra nutes and electricity , but I will keep some back as it is a lovely experience. I also used a pollinator machine and got 30g of hash from my trim which is always a nice bonus . Thanks to valhallas garden, totem and spinner Caribbean for their support during this grow . I may lay low for a while on GD as I had a bit of a scare with an address of a friend accidentally appearing in a photo ,
