The tiny potter is doing good for a mutt autoflower. She has started to grow. I will likely just let her grow straight up. The tiny cbg is still alive in the one picture you can see it. When I get more I will try again one day. The northern lights in the mix is from seedsman. The air tube makes a huge difference. She is in a corner under my Mars Hydro FC4800 light in my autoflower room. Thank you Mars. 🤜🤛🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Well looks like we are going to have another beautiful sugar cane come harvest time of everything continues to go smooth. I just love everything about this strain. It's a potent frosty beast. Shes starting to pop like they always do. I spread the plants out a little this week so they get better light and air flow. Other than that I haven't done anything besides keep the reservoir full. Still pumping nutrients 1 minute on 20 minutes off. They are getting .5 tsp maxibloom per gallon. Not going to run any boosters this round. They dont look like they want or need it.

Estas 6 plantas sobraron de 15 esquejes que hice para regalar (mis primeros esquejes) . Quizá mis amigos no las escogieron porque eran las más débiles y feas, pero en vista que nadie se las llevó, vamos a sacar algunos gramos. Ellas viven con 12 horas indoor y 6 horas de mal sol interrumpido, quizá por esa razón se han espigado tanto esta semana. En todo caso, solamente voy a dejarlas 1 o 2 semanas más en vegeta y luego a florar y ver cuánto me dan. Son esquejes AK47 Buenos humos

March 3: Added a few pics. All is growing right on target! Buds are starting to stack and I absolutely love the smell coming out of the flower room. These next 3-4 weeks are my favorite 😊 March 1: Four weeks since light switchover to 12/12. Technically I call this end of week 2 of flowering since I don't count pre-flower. Managed to get a video although the quality isn't what I would like. Grow is going very well. I kept 4 plants that I didn't top as an experiment this grow since I always top and have never let them go au natural :-) Last time I do that though. Feeding big bloom at a rate of 3 tsp per gallon every other watering. Going to add some bloom boost this upcoming week. I'm quite happy all in all with how this particular grow is going. Humidity got a bit high this week 60 and I immediately took steps to remedy this. Now humidity is around 50. Don't want dreaded bud rot! I'll add some additional pictures this week in the meantime enjoy the video and beware of dog near the end :-D

This will be the last week i will Feed. I m keeping TDS at 400PPM and PH at 5.8. This week I took out the Silica Blast, Great White and also stoped the CO2. Also I lowered the water temp to 66 degrees. Lights on temp is between 75 and 80 degrees, lights off between 65 and 72. I’m trying to keep humidity as low as possible around 45% week 10 will be flush week.

Sorry for the late update. Was noting much the back left one of ice cream cake was a bit messed up with the feeding but hopefully i fixed it. This is why I love growing learning from my mistakes and correcting them… hopefully 😂🤞🏽

ritical Purple Kush was harvested on day 65 of flowering. This plant was a joy to grow, with no major issues throughout the cycle. The buds are dense, beautifully colored, and carry a delightful sweet, earthy aroma with citrus undertones. Can't wait to see how it cures—it promises to be an exceptional smoke!

🌱 Ghost Train Haze — Week 7 From Seed 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here • 12/12 from seed • Mineral base in AutoPots (steady availability, no dry-back stress) • Occasional top-feed with organic inputs • Selective defoliation in the room — but these girls were left untouched • Multi-layer LED canopy + under-canopy lighting • Week 7 from seed → stretch phase still active And now? She’s around 70 cm, some phenos pushing 80 cm, praying nonstop, stretching like she has somewhere important to be. That’s Haze. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Snapshot • Day temp: ~28 °C • RH: ~65% • EC: ~2.9 (higher than the rest — intentionally) • pH: ~6.5 • Height range: 40–80 cm • LED full-spectrum, layered canopy On paper? Some growers panic at 28 °C in flower. In practice? Understanding numbers. ⸻ 🍃 LED Physics — Why 28 °C Is Not 28 °C Under LED: • No infrared dumping • Leaf surface runs 2–4 °C cooler than room • Lower radiant load • Different transpiration dynamics than HPS So if: • Ambient = 28 °C • Leaf temp ≈ 24–26 °C • RH = 65% 👉 Leaf-level VPD lands beautifully in early–mid flower comfort zone. And the plants confirm it: • Deep healthy green • No tacoing • No clawing • No light bleaching • Strong internode spacing • Constant upward praying That praying? Not stress-praying. It’s metabolic confidence. ⸻ ⚡ Why EC Is Higher on These Girls (~2.9) This is important. Ghost Train Haze is: • Vigorous • Long-flowering • High metabolic rate • High transpiration under LED She’s drinking more. She’s moving nutrients faster. She’s building vertical structure aggressively. If we fed her like the others? She’d outpace availability. So EC is slightly higher here to match: • Growth speed • Stretch demand • Structural building phase We’re not pushing blindly. We’re matching consumption. And the uniform leaf color across the canopy confirms uptake is balanced. ⸻ Let’s Talk Genetics — Why She’s “Late” Ghost Train Haze carries heavy Haze lineage. That means: • Longer stretch • Longer flowering time • Slower early flower stacking • Higher final terpene complexity • More cerebral profile Compared to hybrids or more indica-leaning cultivars, Haze types: • Take longer to show flower mass • Spend more time building structure • Finish later But what do they give back? • Airy-but-resinous spears • Intense terpene complexity • Electric, clear-headed medicine • Beautiful, elegant bud architecture They compensate. Always. ⸻ 📏 The Stretch Question — Will She Outgrow the LEDs? At 70 cm in Week 2 flower? Yes. She’s not done stretching. Haze typically stretches: • 2–3 weeks into flower • Sometimes up to Week 4 depending on phenotype Expect: • Another 10–25 cm possible • Internodes to slightly elongate • Apical dominance to stay strong Bringing LEDs up soon? Smart move. Better to anticipate than react. ⸻ 🍃 Defoliation Choice — Why We Didn’t Touch Her We left her natural. Why? Because: • Haze structure is naturally airy • She manages light penetration well • Over-defoliation can slow stretch momentum • She’s showing perfect airflow already Sometimes restraint is the better technique. ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect Next Week You will likely see: • Continued vertical stretch (but slowing by end of week) • First real bud site stacking • Slight shift from lime green to deeper flower tone • Increased thirst What you should NOT expect: • Massive bud density yet • Hard swelling • Early frost explosion It’s too early. Haze builds in stages. ⸻ Stability Over Reaction We are not chasing numbers. We are reading the plant. Temperature? Fine. Humidity? Fine. EC? Matching demand. Structure? Strong. Leaves? Praying but relaxed. This is controlled vigor. ⸻ Final Thoughts Week 7 from seed. Week 2 flower. ~70 cm. Still climbing. And honestly? This is exactly what you want from a Haze. Patience now equals magic later. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To the OGs. To the new followers. To the lovers and even the skeptics. To the GrowDiaries platform. To the GD community. To the sponsors. To everyone watching silently. Thank you. We’re learning together. We’re growing together. We’re documenting honestly. And in the end? We grow medicine.

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.

Major stretching this week! starting to fro up with pre flowers & have been selectively defoliating as usual about every to every other day during the time spent with bought 3 scorg nets like a noob. taking 1 down
