Ghost Train Haze
Week 6 from seed | 12/12 from seed
Marked as: Week 1 Flower (pre-flower transition)
Before jumping into current conditions, a quick recap for anyone new joining the diary.
This Ghost Train has been through a bit of a transition phase over the past weeks. Earlier environmental fluctuations, combined with changes in nutrition and irrigation style (Autopots), slowed her down compared to the rest of the room. Nothing dramatic, but enough to leave visible signals on the older leaves.
The good news: conditions are now much more stable, and the plant is clearly responding.
⸻
Current Environment (now stabilized)
• Temperature: ~27.5 °C
• Humidity: ~65%
• CO₂: ~900 ppm
• PPFD:
• Smaller plants: ~600–700
• Taller plants: up to ~800–850
Light intensity is intentionally staggered. Plants are allowed to grow into the photons naturally, rather than being forced under a flat PPFD across the canopy. This helps accommodate different genetics and growth speeds in the same room.
Despite cold weather outside, internal temperatures are now stable, which was one of the main goals this week.
⸻
Root Zone & Irrigation
• Root / reservoir temperature: ~17 °C
Slightly cold, acknowledged. This contributed to slower uptake earlier, especially in Autopots. Not ideal, but manageable, and already improving.
• Watering parameters:
• pH: 6.5
• EC: 2.4

Nutrition — what changed and why
This week marks a clear nutritional transition:
• Switched from Plagron Terra Grow → Terra Bloom
• Following the Plagron feeding schedule
• This was the only intentional change
Additionally:
• CalMag Pro has now been added
(started last week)
About the leaf symptoms
The older leaves show signs of undernutrition and stress. This is not a single-cause issue, but a combination of factors:
• Cold root zone limiting uptake
• Autopot system still running a lighter recipe
• A sudden stop of organic inputs
• A rapid switch to a fully mineral approach
In short: the plant was used to one rhythm, and that rhythm changed fast. She didn’t like it — and she showed it.
Important note for newer growers:
👉 These symptoms are on older leaves.
They will not “repair,” but new growth is the real indicator, and that’s already improving.
By increasing Terra Bloom, adding CalMag, and stabilizing the environment, the plant now has what she needs to push into flowering properly.

Flowering expectations
This Ghost Train Haze is currently the most delayed plant in the room, and that’s okay.
• Haze-dominant genetics often:
• Take longer to transition
• Stretch later
• Flower later than hybrids
She will likely be:
• The last to fully enter flower
• The last to finish
That’s normal — and usually rewarded with excellent medicine in the end.
What to expect next:
• Gradual improvement in new growth color
• Clear pre-flower expression
• Stretch beginning once roots and uptake fully sync
What not to expect:
• Instant cosmetic recovery on old leaves
• Overnight flowering just because the schedule says so

Final thoughts
Conditions are now stable, inputs are clear, and the plant is responding. From here, it’s about consistency, not correction.
Thank you to:
• The newcomers
• The OGs
• The supporters and the critics
• The sponsors
• The community
• The platform itself
It’s truly an honor and a privilege to share these humble diaries with everyone who chooses to follow along.
We move forward 🌱
Week 6 from seed.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together.
With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine.
💚 Growers love to all 💚
📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens
All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more.
Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture.
I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back.
It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal.
You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.
