Well it's safe to say the foop will work with legit strong good bacteria! But the focus has to be on the root health when it comes to how much food you can add and still maintain healthy roots. But the game changer for me has been switching to a air stone, 1st and for most. The recirculation pump suggested by foop when running foop in dwc ran the solution temps into the high 70's around 77°F and anything over 75°F has been where root rot sets in for me. Even switched to way smaller recirculation pump with same results. So switching to running a air stone was big! But also found that running one Vivosun 317GPH Air Pump 15W split to 4 plants was not enough air for the roots to be happy in the foop plants. So I moved to a 2nd air pump, same size per tent. So now it's only split to 2 plants on the foop plants. And that made a big difference! But found after a few weeks that I had to bleed a slight amount of air off because there soo much extra air the humidity was sky rocketing in the tent to high 80%. So there's a sweet spot where they get extra air but not soo much that the humidity is affected. But the 2nd most beneficial thing I've done is start running Orca. It has made such a huge difference. I think I need to go up with how much I'm using or find something that works even better if possible. But the sweet spot now is 8 to 9ml total of each foop veg/bloom 1,2 and sweener. When I go to 12ml with foop 1,2 the roots take a noticeable hit. So idk how I would go to the recommended 20 to 50ml per gallon as suggested on the foop grow chart. I tried going to 10ml foop 1,2 on this one but the roots didn't like it and it shows they have never turned back to a blonde or white color again Currently running around 6 to 10ml orca total per feeding. And adding 2 to 4ml when I add foop 1,2 mid week and got happy roots! Also the Seaweed extract has made a difference in the smell the plant puts off. Last few grows have been really muted with smells and this grow I actually get hit in the face when entering grow room. So has made a difference forsure!! I'm soo excited!! Currently has issues getting the humidity below 55% in the grow room. I was running 6 damprids 1 on intake(outside tent) to tent, one on inside of tent(at inlet) and 1 on exhaust(outside tent) for 2x4 tent and 2 hanging at 4x4 tent exhaust and one hanging by ac unit. That brought it down like 5% over all but now I'm running 12 damprids to try and get the room down humidity in the mid 40's. We will see. The house runs a swamp cooler and that basically makes the whole house pressurized. So even tho I sealed the grooe room door and the window with ac the best i can. it's a uphill battle! Once swamp cooler comes on the humidity in grow room climbs like 10%. So here's to hoping🤞🤞🤞🤞 6/25 added 2L 6/26 added 1.5L, 10ml Seaweed extract, 4ml orca, 4ml foop bloom 1&2, 4ml foop sweener, 3ml cal mag 6/28 added 2L 6/29 added 1.5L 6/30 added 1L, 20ml Seaweed extract 7/1 refreshed, gave 20ml hydroguard, 15ml orca, 25ml Seaweed extract, 9ml foop bloom 1&2. 10ml foop sweener, 6.5ml cal mag Records kept here: https://1drv.ms/x/c/fa218bbdbbfbd064/EelXI2vd0VdDoZBL4JvZ6xMB7lSyddsPGq8FdBGttRAjgg?e=rY8meL 👋👋👋 Hello, Thanks for checking out my grow!!

Hello Canna Fam, Firstly thank you for stopping past and having a look at my grow🤜🏼🤛🏼 Today marks the start of week 8 and some of the ladies are slowly frosting up. The 2 Gorilla Glues which have been a bit behind in growth have finally stretched and started to flower officially. There is still along way for the 2 and they may flower for up to 15 weeks if I look at other diaries with a similar delayed growth. Today is the start of spring here in sunny South Africa 🇿🇦 and as things warm up we should hopefully get better growth. Thanks again for stopping by and happy growing y’all✌️🏼

🌱 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.

7/21 Battling a strange deficiency that has spread to one of the buds, almost positive its a calcium issue so I gave #3 a 1l of water with cal-mag. Things looking great otherwise. 7/22 cut the bud that was having strange issues and there was no mold inside. Dried it for a day, smoked the most messed up part just to see and it was fine so unless it was a heat issue I have no clue what happened. Otherwise everything is still looking great 7/23 Cut a couple of the main colas because quite a few of the trichomes were turning amber. It may have been a bit too early, bit I will monitor the rest of the plants to see how the develop.

11/12/21: Official First flower week. Added in Big Bud Nutrients and they appear to have changed over night... lots of light green bud sites... some are even showing stigmas and white pistils... still a slight issue with the heat... but as it is near a large glass window and the size of the tent a heat mat is the best i can do. other than that the plants are looking very healthy and strong and will not be long until they are in full bloom.

It’s now time to start flower. They are looking amazing and I’m going to go ahead and throw his crocs in there. I have one tent that I have not put in flower yet just for the main fact that one of my seats became a auto flower so I’m letting them run more time to let that auto flower finish and see what that becomes

The first part of this week has been great. It's cool but dry. There's was no dew on day 2. It's sunny with low humidity during the day. The plants are feeding on the built up nutes in the soil. I did not feed the listed formula although that is what I use prior to the flush week and thought I'd include it. We missed two projected rains and received one very light rain in the early a.m. hours of day 6 of this week. This was a great week for the girls. The rain didn't materialize like the forecast. We still had p.m. hours humidity in the 90s and cool nights, but these girls handled it. Only one has shown susceptibility to powdery mildew. Overall this is a beast outdoor strain for the Midwest USA. We have had a lot of leaf eating caterpillars attacking the plants because the trees are losing their green leaves. Just some natural defoliation no biggie.

WEEK 10 - 10/4/2021 - 16/4/2021 10/4/2021 - Day 1 flowering! 13/4/2021 - Something came up and I have to leave my plants for 2 days. I thought of hooking it up to Autopot again but then I would have to do a major flush again and that would stress the plants. I think they can wait for 48 hours. I'll fertigate again before lights off tonight. 20 gal water mixed with the following: Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 76ml Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 100ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Bloom - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Fulvic acid - 2.5ml/gal - 50ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 40ml Rapid start - 1ml/gal - 20ml Chitosan Olligosaccharide  - About 30 ml. I ran out of pH down and improvised with Chitosan. Managed to bring down the pH to 6.2. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome! :) pH - 6.21 EC - 1.28 mS/cm T - 26 14/4/2021 - The HLG 550 light seem a little dim these past week. After checking with a Quantum PAR meter, the PPFD was only around 400 mid section at 24 inches height from canopy. At first I thought it was the LED diodes but after disconecting the dimmer potentiometer, the PPFD went up to 1200. So it was the dimmer malfunction. So I just left the light as full brightness 24 inches above canopy since the girls are in bloom now, 16/4/2021 - Major defoliation done for all 8 plants. Basically removed any large leaves shading the lower nodes as well as to improve air circulation. Did supercropping on several branches to maintain even canopy.

Day 106 - I feel like my patience is going to be tested while waiting for this girl to finish out. She was fed today, 3/4 tsp Bloom (I went up a little from last week, but still under the suggested amount of 1 tsp) and 1/2 tsp of Mag Pro per gallon of water, with 160 oz given. Day 107 - Nothing to note today. Barely around enough today to even get a picture. Day 108 - I will highlight it in the coming days, but it seems that a few of the flowers are packing on some more calyxes. Not sure if it is the start of foxtailing or if it is the start of the final weeks weight packing, though I definitely hope it is the 2nd option. Day 109 - Fed to with 3/4 tsp Bloom 1/2 tsp Mag Pro per gallon of water, 170oz given. Day 110 - Nothing really to note. Just moving on to another day. Day 111 - I got to say, it seems that the pistils are changing quickly, hopefully a sign of being close (being relative, assuming like 2 more weeks optimistically). I have yet to get a loupe, and my attempts to get trich shots with a DIY lens results in blurry pictures all the time. Day 112 - Fed/watered today. 180 oz of water given, with 3/4 tsp Bloom, 1/2 tsp Mag Pro per gallon. I'm definitely feeling impatient. I want to harvest this thing soon, and I look at it, and realize it really isn't all that close.
