i went on holiday and installed an automatic watering pump...seems like it didn't activate as planed...when i got back after 7 days the pots were compleatly dry... i removed alot of dead foliage from beneath...i would have removed it for better airflow soon anyways...so not much harm taken... after a big watering they looked fine again budgrowth didn't seem to be affected by the complete dryout...let's see where this goes...buds look perfectly fine so far

Today October 25th is the First day of Week 6 In Flower. Received the Refractometer and got right to pressing. First I tried a mortar and pestle to extract the sap -- this worked ok but took a lot of time and force. Then I tried 2 spoons held together and squeezed with vice grips (didn't work for me). 2 Pieces of MDF board squeezed together with vice grips didn't work either. I guess I'm not strong enough. Tried a blender, a hand blender...neither of these worked! Then the vice, it was faster and took less force to extract the sap. Works great! Took leaves from top to bottom of each individual plant. (16 plants) Rolled a few leaves up, put in a numbered piece of parchment and pressed.....voila...sap😃 Refractometer was already calibrated and ready to go. Placed sap on meter, held up to light and there it is! My first BRIX reading😮 using $28 Refractometer. Going to change base nutrients to a "hard water" formula. So impressed with Harley Smith that I've ordered some NPK RAW products. Like the idea of micro dosing. I sent Harley an email and he replied the same day! Not a canned response either. So cool. Thanks Harley! AND he took a look at GrowDiaries and this grow✊😃 What a kind gentleman. 😇 Hope I didn't go overboard but I watered again today with amino acids and cal mend to try to fix this Calcium def. Will Brix leaves tomorrow and see if this makes a difference. The brix line yesterday was very clear and very easy to read indicating a calcium def. Maybe locked out from too much phosphorous or hard water? Watered Oct 29 & 30 Temp 20 PH 6.4 EC 1.9 Runoff EC 1.9 to 2.3 after at least 2-3 Gallons of water put thru each pot. Some pots Runoff were way off the charts😵EC 3.6! . Put water thru until EC hit 2.3 on 2 pots others were EC 1.9 to 2.1. Put 56 Gallons or 220L thru plants over a 2 day period until I reached a better EC.

Started flush now. I'm adding Nature Delight Active Sugar Boost as it's been recommended to boost terpene production. No idea if it will work this late into flower but trying anyway as apparently it has no need to be flushed and is fully organic.

Woche 7: Die zweite Woche der Blütephase ging es der Blattmasse erstmal an den Kragen damit die Blüten auch etwas an Licht abbekommen 😅 Anfangs dachte ich, dass ich vielleicht etwas viel weggeneommen habe. Aber im Nachhinein hätte ich den unteren Bereich der Pflanzen deutlich radikaler Entlauben können. Ich war etwas zaghaft 😅 Ansonsten habe ich weiterhin versucht die große Skywalker zumindest etwas unter Kontrolle zu bringen.. Aber da sie fast doppelt so groß wie ihre Schwestern ist, bin ich schon in Planung einer zweiten Growbox. In dieser kann sie sich wenn es soweit ist ganz alleine austoben.. doch etwas muss sie sich noch gedulden.

Growth of 'only' 11cm this week 😅 Just over 8" Still she is growing very nice.

Last week at veg. Stage. Thank you for watching.

Nearing close to the end. Really regret not using the scrog net as they’re struggling to hold themselves up as they go through their final swellings on the buds. Smell has changed and has a candy sweet at the moment starting to come througH

So all my stuff arrived this week. Will be using fox farm ocean floor soil for this grow. I have blue dream going for this grow. My seeds are germinating and I don’t have pics of them from the paper towel and from when I first put them beneath to soil in the dixi cups. The soil I used was miracle grow bloom potting soil for my initial planting (now I know was probably not the best choice) but I actually noticed some great results to start with the grow. I’ll keep updating as I go and hope to get some great feed back and comments while I go along. Happy growing everyone.

🌱 Ghost Train Haze — Week 3 VEG Report 12/12 from seed | Vegetative phase ongoing General Overview Week 3 of vegetative growth closes with Ghost Train Haze showing outstanding vigor and expression. From early in the light cycle, both plants consistently display strong “praying” behavior — leaves lifted upward, posture alert and confident. This is not occasional; it is constant, indicating a very good balance between light intensity, nutrition, and environment. Running as a pair, they behave almost like twins. Structure, rhythm, and overall pace are remarkably similar. As expected in nature, one plant is slightly larger than the other — a reminder that nothing in the universe is ever truly identical. Still, the similarity between them is striking and reassuring. Growth & Structure • Stage: Vegetative • Flowering signs: None observed • Node count: ~5 to 6 nodes • Growth habit: Upright, balanced, well-structured • Leaf posture: Strong and consistent praying • Color: Deep, lush green with excellent vitality Internodal spacing remains tight, structure is clean, and development is even. There are no signs of stress, clawing, deficiencies, or imbalance. ⸻ Genetics Notes — Ghost Train Haze Ghost Train Haze carries strong Haze-forward genetics, and early signs are already visible in her behavior: • High responsiveness to light • Expressive leaf posture • Vertical intention without excessive stretch • Clear metabolic efficiency Haze genetics often prefer to build structure first, establishing roots and vegetative mass before revealing their full personality. At this stage, Ghost Train Haze is doing exactly that — laying rails before speed. ⸻ Photo Documentation This week, both plants were briefly taken out of the tent for detailed photo documentation using a controlled studio-style setup. The photos focus on: • Leaf posture and symmetry • Natural water droplets resting on the leaves • Rich green coloration under controlled lighting These images are meant to document subtle signals, not to dramatize the plant. ⸻ Environment — Room Conditions (Week 3) • Photoperiod: 12/12 from seed • Day temperature: ~26 °C • Night temperature: ~18 °C • Relative Humidity: 60–65% • Airflow: Gentle, constant, non-stressful • Solution temperature: ~21 °C • Substrate temperature: ~21 °C Environmental stability remains consistent across the room, allowing the plants to focus entirely on vegetative development. ⸻ 💡 Lighting • PPFD: ~600–700 (adjusted to plant size) • Plants are growing naturally into the light • No stretch, no light stress The constant praying posture confirms that light levels are well matched to plant demand. ⸻ 💧 Watering & Nutrition • pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.0 Nutrient program: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal Foliar: • Vita Race • Applied selectively and intentionally, not on a fixed schedule This program continues to support strong root activity, clean metabolism, and vibrant vegetative growth. ⸻ 🔍 What to Expect / What Not to Expect (Next Week) What to expect: • Continued vegetative expansion • Additional node stacking • Increasing leaf mass and canopy presence • Gradual emergence of Haze characteristics What not to expect (yet): • No flowering initiation • No explosive stretch • No need to push inputs Patience remains key — the foundation is still being built. ⸻ Final Thoughts Week 3 confirms that Ghost Train Haze is thriving. Constant praying, twin-like development, and calm confidence define this stage. No rush, no force — just steady momentum. Thank you to everyone following along, observing, learning, and sharing this journey with us. The train is moving — quietly and with intention 🚂🌱 FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

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.

Ha ido bien. Hace 5 días que esta afuera y recibe la luz y el clima de invierno,11° a 23° Celsius y una humedad relativa del 35 al 40 %. 11 horas de luz de las cuales 5 son directas y el resto indirectas. Lo que ha hecho que los tricomas no se degraden tanto tal como los terpenos. Huele DEMASIADO en comparación cuando estaba dentro del armario de cultivo. En breves actualización con el corte final y su peso. Me gusta mucho esta genética y se ha convertido en una de mis favoritas.

Chinazes)we are flying high in height. We don’t pour fertilizer and only drink water. communication to everyone. Work for yourself!

Very fast seedling process, seeds stayed soaking for 24h and in the water they were already showing the first white root hair, another 48h in the paper towel and the day I potted them up they showed cotyledons. They took around 11 days to reach third node and complete germination but honestly I belive it could be faster if in better enviroment, mainly the humidity which was low and I transplanted them a day late. From day 5 I started feeding them exact same nutrients and ratio from the first vegetative week but starting at 0.4EC and increasing by 0.1EC/day until 1.1EC

July 13th, the transplant seemed to have helped and the plants exploded with growth but still seeing light green leaves
