Ghost Train Haze — Week 1 Report
Folder #7 | “Catching the Ghost Train”
Station One: Emergence
The Ghost Train has arrived at its first station, and all passengers are present.
For this run, we are currently keeping three seeds, all showing very similar early expressions. Uniformity is strong at this stage, with no clear standout yet — a promising sign of genetic consistency.
⸻
Medium & Container Setup
Unlike the rest of the room, or half of it, Ghost Train Haze is running a slightly different container strategy:
• Inner pots: Plastic pots
• Outer pots (optional / future):
• 15-liter outer pots
• Filled with Plagron soil
At this moment, the plants are not yet connected to the outer pots.
The system is ready, but the decision is still open.
There are more outer pots available than reservoir connections, which opens up a few possible paths forward:
• Permanent selection of which plants get connected
• Rotational system (one week one plant, next week another)
• Or keeping them independent for now and deciding later
This flexibility is intentional — no rush, no forced decisions at Station One.
⸻
Growth & Early Behavior
All three seedlings are:
• Very similar in structure
• Slightly stretchy, but still healthy and elegant
• Upright, responsive, and visually balanced
The stretch is within reason and fits the Ghost Train character — reaching forward, eager to move. No weakness, no instability, just early momentum.
Leaf color is clean, stems are holding well, and overall posture shows good adaptation to the environment.
⸻
Environmental Conditions
Conditions remain identical to the rest of the room:
• Same light cycle
• Same environment
• Same airflow
• Same feeding philosophy
No exceptions, no special treatment — the only variable here is container strategy, by design.
⸻
What to Expect Next (Next Stations)
• Slight reduction in stretch as root mass increases
• Clearer individual expression between the three plants
• Decision window opening regarding outer pot connections
• Increased leaf development and node definition
What Not to Expect (Yet)
• No heavy feeding
• No aggressive training
• No final container decisions just yet
⸻
Final Notes — Station One
This first station is all about arrival, assessment, and options.
The Ghost Train Haze seedlings are healthy, aligned, and ready for the journey ahead.
The track is laid, the switches are visible, and the destination will reveal itself in time.

We’ve got much more coming as we move through the grow cycles. Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together!
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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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.
