Ghost Train Haze — Harvest / Trim / Cure Part 2 — Trimming, Resin & First Cure First of all, once again, sorry for dividing this harvest into three different parts. But honestly… there was just no way to fit this entire experience into one single update without rushing it. This run became something special for us. So instead of throwing everything into one giant report, we wanted to slow things down and give each phase the attention it deserves. Part 1 was about harvest day itself — especially the frozen plant and the preparation for the future ice water hash runs. Now in Part 2, we focus on the monster of the room. The big Ghost Train Haze girl. The giant. And damn… she was beautiful. ⸻ The Giant Finally Ready After drying slowly and patiently, she finally reached that moment every grower waits for: the stem click. Not bending anymore. Not soft anymore. That perfect dry snap telling us she was finally ready for trimming. And honestly, seeing this massive plant hanging there fully dried was already rewarding by itself. Huge flowers. Dense structure. Long spears everywhere. Frost absolutely covering the plant from top to bottom. At this point, we brought out the Trim Bin, got comfortable, and of course… Mr. Baggy joined the session too. Because trimming alone is trimming. But trimming with the homies becomes part of the memory. ⸻ Trimming This Beast Once we started separating the branches and working through the flowers properly, one thing became immediately obvious: This plant was ridiculously frosty. And I mean ridiculously. Possibly the frostiest plant in the entire room. Every touch released resin. Every nug felt sticky. Scissors getting glued together constantly. Gloves turning darker and shinier minute after minute. The flowers themselves came out incredibly dense and compact too. Heavy in the hand. Proper weight to them. Not airy at all despite the sativa influence from Ghost Train Haze. And visually? Beautiful. Silver-covered calyxes. Orange hairs fading perfectly into the resin layer. Chunky flowers with that classic “don’t squeeze too hard or you’ll ruin the trichomes” feeling. This girl truly felt like a reward after the full cycle. ⸻ The Trim Bin Surprise One thing we absolutely loved during this trimming session was watching how much resin naturally collected inside the Trim Bin. By the end of the session, the amount of loose trichome heads sitting underneath the screen was honestly crazy. No dry sift machine. No mechanical shaker. Just trimming. And still… A beautiful golden layer of resin waiting for us underneath. Of course, finger hash also started building up naturally while trimming. Sticky gloves. Sticky fingers. Sticky scissors. The classic signs of a happy trimming session. Then came one of our favorite moments of the day. ⸻ Playing The Drums — Moroccan Style At the end, we decided to have some fun with the trim itself. Using the dry material almost like traditional Moroccan drum-sifting techniques, we gently worked the trim leaves and remaining material to knock off even more trichomes. Simple. Relaxed. Traditional-inspired. And honestly? It worked beautifully. What we collected afterward turned into a gorgeous little hash bar that looked and smelled incredible. We didn’t even bother weighing it. Sometimes not everything needs numbers. Some things are simply for the experience. For the ritual. For the future session. For curiosity. For enjoyment. And this one definitely earned its place for later tasting sessions. ⸻ Final Dry Weight After everything was trimmed, cleaned, and separated, the final dry flower weight from this single plant came to: 294.9 grams dry Honestly? We’re extremely happy with that. Almost 300 grams from a single plant in this run is something we can absolutely appreciate. Especially considering this entire project was: * 12/12 from seed * Minimal training * Minimal intervention * Natural structure * Mostly observation and guidance Just letting the plant express herself while giving her the right environment. And she rewarded us massively. ⸻ Storage & Cure — Different Approaches Once trimming was done, we started organizing the curing process using different storage methods. This time we decided to split the flower between: * Glass jars * Metal Zamnesia containers * Grove Bags Each one has its own purpose and philosophy. Glass Jars The classic. Simple, reliable, proven for decades. Perfect for manual burping and personally controlling the curing environment yourself. They also allow us to visually inspect the flowers easily during cure. ⸻ Metal Containers The Zamnesia metal containers feel more protective physically and also help reduce light exposure completely. They feel solid. Clean. Almost laboratory-like. A very nice option for preserving flower while keeping things discreet and protected. ⸻ Grove Bags These are probably the most modern approach we tested in this run. The idea behind Grove Bags is that their “TerpLoc” technology supposedly regulates humidity internally while allowing gas exchange in a controlled way. The theory is that they naturally maintain flower within the ideal curing range around: 58–62% RH without constant burping. So now we’re extremely curious to compare all three methods later during the smoke review phase: * Does one preserve terpenes better? * Does one keep the flower softer? * Does aroma evolve differently? * Does cure quality actually change? We’ll definitely revisit this in Part 3. ⸻ The Frozen Plant — Flower Comparison After finishing the main giant plant, we also trimmed and cured the material that came from the frozen/hash-focused plant from Part 1. This was important for us because we wanted to compare: * Flower from the “normal dried” plant vs * Flower from the plant intended mainly for extraction And surprisingly? The terpene profiles feel extremely similar. Same family. Same identity. Same Ghost Train Haze soul. Maybe slight differences in intensity or texture, but overall the profile remained very recognizable between both plants. Which honestly gives us a very good feeling about the future hash quality too. The frozen plant itself ended up giving: 58.5 grams dry Plus whatever was already separated and reserved through the frozen material process itself. So overall, absolutely worth it. ⸻ Macro Photography & Focus Stacking During all this, we also continued working on our macro photography experiments. Some of the photos shared in this update were actually focus-stacked images made from: * 112 photos * 96 photos * 33 photos For people unfamiliar with focus stacking: Macro photography has extremely shallow depth of field. When you photograph trichomes closely, only tiny portions stay in focus at once. So instead, we take dozens — sometimes over a hundred — separate images with different focus points and merge them together afterward in software. The result is a final image where the entire flower or trichome field becomes sharp at the same time. It takes time. It takes patience. But honestly, we love the process. Because cannabis truly deserves to be appreciated up close. ⸻ Trimming Timelapses We also recorded trimming timelapses so people can better see the workflow behind everything. Not just the glamorous final nug shots. But the actual process: * separating branches * cleaning flowers * resin building up * trim collecting * the mess * the rhythm * the work itself Because behind every beautiful cured flower, there are hours of patience nobody usually sees. ⸻ What Comes Next — Part 3 The next and final report will focus on: * Full smoke review * Cure evolution * Drying process explained deeper * Flavor profile * Terpene expression * Effects * Overall experience with Ghost Train Haze * Personal reflections after living with this cultivar That final report will close the entire Ghost Train Haze journey properly. ⸻ Thank You And as always… Huge thanks to everybody who stopped by this journey. To the breeders behind these genetics. To the companies making nutrients, LEDs, gear, and tools possible. To the platforms that allow growers to share their passion openly. To the community members constantly supporting each other. To the OG followers. To the new followers. To the silent viewers. To the growers. To the curious people. To the skeptics. To the lovers. To the haters too. If this grow made somebody stop scrolling for even a few seconds and appreciate the plant differently… that already means something to us. From grower to growers.

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.

ROSEGROWS Week 3 Day 15 Transplant Everything went great Hopefully No Stress Day 19 Waiting a few Days after Transplant Starting LST Training

Hello everyone, This update is 2 days later, today i going to add more pk13/14 to the plant 30ml in 20 liter water. This week the temperature outside will reach 36 degrees celsius so that will be a big challenge for me the lights are on from 12pm to 12am airconditioning is already on now and when the temperature is going over 30 degrees i will lower the light intensity to combat high temperature in the tent. Let's see how things stand next week, thanks for stopping by and have a nice day. Best regards, Growfather

Hey growers I hope your all well ✌️ SHOULD I FLIP??? These girls are nearly 50cm and the one girl is around 35cm, I'm going too continue veg for 1-2 weeks longer and scrog in the meantime too gold back the 2 taller girl. These girls are plodding into week 7 now so they are ready too flip but will see how my grow question goes before switching too 12/12 👌 They are happy and healthy and doing well under the shogun nutrients! I have defoliate the odd top fan leaf too allow better air circulation. We have very high heat atm but hopefully they uptake more 😉😅 Happy growing 🌱💚

Wow, look how frosty it's become! It feels like I'm growing a feminized plant instead of an autoflower. I'm really looking forward to the next few weoeks and seeing how the buds develop.Das

It’s another week of flowering for my plant, and it’s turning out beautifully. You can slowly see purple colors appearing on almost all the buds. All the buds are covered with tons of trichomes — I can hardly believe it, such a beautiful plant.

Hello. This is the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3 of flowering. These girls sure stretched this week. Wow. I see 1 top about 10 inches from the top of the tent. That one branch might get super cropped if it keeps going up. Near the end of this week I want to get in here and do a final trim/prune. Paying attention to fan leaves that don't get enough light on the bottom and fan leaves that block light on the top. If you have a big plant try to leave 4 to 8 fanleaves at the end of each branch, with 8 on the lower branches and 4 on the smaller upper branches. I will also have a good look at the small branches to see if they are sucker branches or if they will put out a small bud. I know that I will put the plant into shock for a few days with the trim/pruning, but when the plant heals and starts to grow again it will go right into resin production, full speed. I will, generally not touch the plants till the end after that. I might take a few fanleaves off that block the light and I'll take off any yellow or dyeing leaves from the bottom too. Came into the tent a couple of days ago to water the plants and saw that the fan blade had disintegrated in it's cage, but it spewed out small bits of plastic all over the plants closest to them. About 5 weeks ago my other fan stopped working in the same place. Not enough lube I'm guessing. so I went and got that blade and it fit. So I didn't have to buy a new fan. 😃 I've got to get in here and vacuum that up before the resin starts flowing. Don't need small bits of plastic in my resin. 😝 See which fan blow up in the video. Oh yes, I also had to replace a automatic opening roof vent this week. It hardly opened a inch on a hot day. I bought one off Amazon, it was here in 3 days, and it works great. Ok. See ya next week. Be Cool! Chuck.

No more fertilization. They will be harvested in 2 weeks very stinky ones.... Alll good just keep flushing them and removing upcoming yellow leaves. :) They are quote wet so just giving them 200ml.of water a day to.not to over water them.

DAY 15 of flower, start of week 3. Flowers show up on the critical The coockies had only 3 weeks veg so they might need another week under 12/12 before they make bud Nutrients on day 17

Moin moin an alle, als erstes möchte ich diese Woche djiny danken der hat mich auf die Idee gebracht mal mein Lemon kick von plagron über Nacht zu testen (1 Liter Wasser mit lemon kick von plagron fertig gemacht eingestellt auf Ph 6,0 und einen weiteren Liter mit Ph down von hesi) am nächsten Morgen habe ich den Ph Wert von beiden getestet und dabei is der Ph down von hesi stabil geblieben war nach 1w Std immer noch auf 6 und nach 24 Std ebenfalls auf 6, das lemon kick von plagron is mir nach 12 Std schon wieder auf fast Ph 7,0 geklettert und nach 24 Std war es bei 8,3 wow das ist mal instabil hab ich mir gedacht ich glaub djiny hat mein Problem gelöst also djiny danke dafür. Indoor Sehen die Pflanzen nicht so toll aus immerhin fallen die Blätter nicht mehr einfach so ab nach dem ich jetzt 2x mit hesi ph eingestelltem Wasser gegossen habe aber sie produzieren gut Zucker und riechen so heftig nach süßem Kaffe mit Ur typischer Gras Note. Zu den steckies die ich outdoor zu zweit in einem Topf halte ich persönlich finde das sie nicht schlecht rüber kommen wir haben in den letzten 3 Wochen hier im Norden so beschissenes Wetter mit Sturm und Regen ich glaub es waren 3 oder 4 Tage mal schönes sonniges Wetter ind den letzten 3 Wochen finde aber dafür das es nicht so schön draussen war und ich mich kaum um die Ladys kümmere (wenn das wetter schlecht ist nutze ich mein zweites hobby rocket Leauge auf xbox series zocken, is halt in den letzten 3 Wochen viel gezocke gewesen 😱😱😱😱😱😎😎😎😎ups.... Mann gönnt sich ja sonnst nix) euch noch nen erfolgreichen Grow und das ihr alle schlauer seid als ich und diesen Kinder-Garten Fehler nicht begeht oder ihn schneller findet als ich

Die Amnesika ist was feines. 51g trocken habe ich geerntet. Sie duftet wirklich sehr lecker. Ich bin aber schlecht darin Aromen zu beschreiben. Die Wirkung mag ich auch sehr. Sie ist aufjedenfall sehr stark. Lässt sich gut rauchen. Schmeckt gut. Werde ich wieder anbauen.

Hello my friends, ...May 17 2022.. Day N°65.. ...Flowering day N°10... My three Feminized Bubblegum are fine, développé very good, they are beautiful, they stretching normally, I made a little defolliation. I feed them with the Hybrid Powder from Green House Feeding Nutrients, I gave them some CalGreen from Metrop, the best Cal-Mag of the market. They are under a MarsHydro TS 3000 at 50% of power and at 50cm of the canopy. www.00seeds.com www.mars-hydro.com Thank a lot for passing through here. Wish you the best with your green projects, peace. See you soon 💨💨💨

All looks good 8 weeks in. The flower is getting dense. I think they have about 2 more weeks to go. I'll keep feeding and flushing. Looking forward to seeing the yield with this 200.

Hey everyone ☺️. It gets more beautiful from week to week 😍👍. I have them all this week Sprayed again properly with neem oil in the veggie phase ☺️. There have been no trips for 2 weeks, but prevention is better 😀. Because of the neem oil, the plants look very dark and shiny, which I really like when they shimmer like that 😝. I didn't do any training these days, that will be done again the next few days 👌. it was watered twice this week with around 0.6 l per plant. The Ph / Ec measuring device was also recalibrated. Otherwise there is nothing to report for this week and we'll see you again with the next update ☺️👍. I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas 😊.

Week 7 is starting at day 48, things are rolling along nicely, she really is a hungry girl😂don't be shy with the nutrients as I've stated earlier, she takes everything she's given. Room is smelling so good, I'm really liking the development of this Apple Strudel, she has been so easy to grow, a pleasure, just shows the good work that the fast buds team are doing behind the scenes, keep them coming Sebastian and Co👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🏻 More Apple Strudel updates to come later this week. Just noticed some mutations on a few of the leaves, got some crazy structure going on😁

Went to bend a branch it snapped. I taped it but the top was to heavy and snapped again. I figured cut it off now because it didnt look like it was coming back and I thought I'd just hurt her even if I saved the one.

When you open the tent now,there are all Kinds of terps and colors that coming towards you. Just absolutely beautyful! 1.Rainbow Melon 2.Papaya Sherbert 3.Gorilla Melon
