It was time. Her trichomes are cloudy as the weather today, with just a couple ambers. Total wet weight of the buds was 390g 😳😳😳 I kept 200g for myself. The rest was sliced, diced and was given to the worms. After drying, there should be about 40g. Have I said already how much I hate this local law 😭 She smells delicious nonetheless! And is as sticky as a yellow fly trap 😂 Had hoped for more color though. Next time I run her, I'll see if I can keep the temps under 25c. The stalk and stems were all pink and I suspected the rubarb color was from Mg deficiency, but she persisted through 1.5g/l of Epsom Salts, so I concluded she wasn't deficient. She was a true pink pheno! ----------------------------------------------------- It was a fun experience, with a couple challenges during the grow! Definitely repeating this cultivar in the future! Thank you Kannabia for this amazing strain!! Thank you Spider Farmer for the amazing gear!! Thank you Plagron for your amazingly stable nutrients and medium!! 😍😍😍

We back with some buckets! Straight outta the stix! Time to fire up the pumps and get this show on the road. Soaked this beautiful little gem of a bean in some water until it cracked then threw it into the bucket with 100% perlite. Started them on a low dose of maxigro on day 3. Doing these diy Dutch Bucket style as always. Going to be running 8 in house genetics strains on the system with constant 24 hour a day irrigation. Not much exciting going on yet, but with a little luck that may change pretty soon.

Starting week 3 of flowering and week 6 of over all growth. she seems to be very happy now that I've fixed the pH issue and she is growing pretty fast. I decided to do a decent defoliation and pull everything to the sides again trying to keep her as wide as possible. I also super-cropped a few of the shoots in the middle to keep them at the same height as the branches I pulled down and to the side.

🌱 Ghost Train Haze — Week 2 (12/12 from Seed) Folder #7 | Plastic Pots | Hand-Watered Week two is now complete, and these girls are clearly picking up speed. After a very slow and controlled first week, and a still-measured but improving second week, we can now see momentum building. By the end of this week, plants are pushing into their second to third nodes, with larger leaves, strong symmetry, and a beautiful lush green color. Growth is very uniform across all plants, which is always reassuring at this stage. ⸻ 🌿 Containers & Medium — Plastic Pots vs Grow Bags Unlike some of the other folders in this room, these Ghost Train Haze plants are growing in 15L plastic pots from AutoPot, not grow bags. Important notes: • Pots are not connected to the AutoPot system yet • Plants are currently hand-fed, same as the rest of the room • Medium is soil, allowing roots to establish naturally first This slower start is expected and welcomed. When plants take their time above ground, it usually means roots are working hard below the surface, building a strong base before top growth accelerates. ⸻ 🌍 Sustainability Note (Important) This run also brings up an important long-term consideration. • Plastic pots can be reused many times • Grow bags, once finished, often end up as waste • Soil from pots can be reused or composted more easily For future runs, this is something I’m actively evaluating — moving away from disposable materials where possible, reducing plastic waste, and improving sustainability without compromising plant health. This grow is part of that learning process. ⸻ 💡 Environment & Conditions Conditions are stable and intentional. • Temperature: kept warm and consistent to support root activity • Humidity: slightly elevated to help early-stage development • Light intensity (PPFD): appropriate for this stage, encouraging steady growth without stress No signs of stress, no leaf deformation, and no nutrient-related issues so far. ⸻ Genetics — Ghost Train Haze Ghost Train Haze is known for: • Strong Haze influence • Fast growth once established • High vigor later in the cycle • Energetic, expressive structure This cultivar typically starts slow, then ramps up quickly once roots are established — exactly what we are beginning to see now. This is a strain that rewards patience early on. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week Expect: • Faster vertical growth • Larger fan leaves • Stronger stems • More pronounced node spacing typical of Haze genetics Do NOT expect yet: • Heavy stretch • Strong aromas • Flower expression That comes later. ⸻ 🌱 Final Thoughts This Ghost Train Haze run is doing exactly what it should be doing. Slow start, clean structure, healthy color, and now — acceleration. Very excited to see how these plants express themselves once they fully hit their stride.

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.

Hi Growmies, I'm excited to share some big news today! Although there have been some unexpected twists, it's all part of the incredible journey of gardening. I've just completed the harvest, a tad earlier than initially planned, due to finding a bit of mold in one of the buds. Despite this minor hiccup, the trichomes were already at a decent 10% to 15% amber. So, all things considered, the timing ended up being pretty spot-on. The harvested weight was a solid 609 grams after trimming, which is quite a feat! A lesson learned for next time: perhaps I let her grow a few too many buds, leading to a denser canopy than ideal. But on the bright side, the aroma is absolutely divine. I sampled an airy bud that had dried a bit, and wow, it packs a stronger punch than its clone mother. And the flavor? Pure, unadulterated cheese – no hint of pineapple here! Now, the anticipation builds for the final dry weight, which I should know in about 3-4 days. It's always exciting to see the fruits of our labor fully realized. A huge thanks to everyone who's been following along on this journey. Your interest and support mean the world. And now, the adventure continues! I've started on Epic Buzz by Anesia Seeds. The diary for this new chapter is up and running, and the seedlings have already sprouted, marking the beginning of another exciting phase. (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/185718-grow-journal-by-salokin) I can't wait to share more updates with you all. Here's to the continued growth and learning in our gardening adventures!

This was the runt of the bunch from the beginning and started flowering a week before the others. Seemed like in veg it didn't have enough nitrogen (yellow/green leaves) and in flower it had too much causing the bottom new leaves to grow kinda mutated and dark green. Even with those issues she still packed on solid dense buds covered in trichomes. pulled off 253 grams wet after trimming and 57 grams of trim will update with dry weight when ready

Day 43 - The start of week 7 and she’s doing great and the purple is starting to show up pretty nicely now. She’s doing good since tying down some branches yesterday and will let her grow up as much as she wants now. Should be ready for some water tomorrow. Day 44 - Really starting to push out some purple. Gave her some water today, soil was completely dry. Just watching her as she starts to stretch a bit and might give some bone meal once she hits day 60, depending on how she’s doing. Day 45 - Not a whole lot happening right now, she’s looking good and starting to put on a lot a purple and loving it. Tucked a few leaves to keep her open. Day 46 - Nothing interesting going on with the girl right now. She’s filling in nicely and the purples look amazing. Probably another day or two before giving her some fresh water. Day 47 - Looking good and dropped the light to about 10” the other day and it really seems to be helping her bud up more. Pot is just about dried up so will be giving her some water tomorrow. Day 48 - She’s doing well, noticed a few lower leaves are becoming very light in color but all the rest seem to be doing ok. Not sure if I need to add another batch of bone meal to the soil or if she just needed a good watering so she got watered to runoff tonight and I’ll keep an eye on her for the next few days. Other than that, her bud sites are really starting to purple up. Day 49 - It’s the end of week 7 and getting a little worried about this girl and not sure what’s going on. Yesterday she looked great and all of a sudden today, all of her leaves have turned a really light shade of green. This soil is not supposed to need nutes but I’m thinking no nutes is good for veg but I need to add them for flowering so I went and gave her a feeding of the foxfarm trio with some cal-mag and I’ll give it a couple days to see if it helps. Buds are producing nicely but leaves look like they’re dying so hopefully the feed helps.

As you can see the white powdery mold is starting to lose my thoughts were getting a HEPA filter into the room . 2) because this mold mostly lives on leaves what I did is I locked out the soil. This was a technique passed on by a legacy grower in my area.The way it was explained is by making the pH higher than seven the plant would no longer be able to receive nutrients through the soil and it would have to eat whatever nutrients are left in the leaves. This woukd change the pH of the leaves aswell to help kill the mold . Lastly I greatly increased my wind movement so that air would be continuously moving no matter what it was a little bit hard on the leave tips that burnt a little bit but at this point windburn on leaves is pretty irrelevant when you're looking at the whole picture. I don't think this would have worked with any other genetics but exotic seeds mostly because from what I've seen with them is a very high resistance to mold and I think that played a huge part of the process. Also having diablo nutrients monster wash, without that I do not think I would have won this battle

🌱 : I had to remove 2 colas because of budrot on day 80, but I was able to save 40g wet 💧 : 💡 : Dli: 45 mol/m²/d 🤔 : As a countermeasure, I increased the ventilation as well as the air circulation

Very nice plant to grow. Beautiful flowers covered with trichomes. The smell is very lemon citrus flavourt. She gave a bit of a stretch. I think she isn’t the biggest yielder but definitely quality over quantity. Later on the results. Very pleased sofar! I underestimate the density of the buds. Dry weight 375 gram of 5 plants. Pheno number 2 yielded almost 100 gram! Powerfull lemon flavour with a touch of sour. Running pheno number 2 again!

With the males out of the tent, I have a little more room to spread them out. One plant is much different than the rest. It's short and squat. Another is pretty narrow, showing minimal side branch growth. The rest are similar, and I like the way they are developing. I took the top fan leafs all the plants to open up the lower nodes. They all seemed to respond well, and I'm seeing good side branch growth. What a week!
