D50/FD22 - Right, water change day (Evening). Right and proper f**ked off with the light doing me over (See D49/FD21 Comment for that epic story!!!). Where stretch had stopped (I thought), plants are back in the lights AGAIN!!! Blaming the light giving a near 24hour session and some other broken sessions of light over the last 48 hours!!! So had to pull out the extraction as getting LED burn on leaves that are touching! Blowing through the Carbon Filter and can't really smell anything so that's not bad. Everything a wee bit noisier with the fan not being muffled in the tent but need the space and got around a foot. Not prefiltering the fan as I have the new Cloudline to go in for next grow. Hopefully they grow no more and its all thickening buds from here so as I have space for the UVB in there in a week or 2! Slight change in feed. Dropped the roots booster as Wilma can't take any more...its full!!! Dunno how I am still getting 50L of water in there!!! Added PK9/18 (At half strength). Should probs drop the calmag (Or Kind Base down a bit) to drop nitrogen but am still seeing some copper spots here and there that looks like wee calcium deficiencies (Not much, but its there) - I do have some BioBizz CalMag (Which is Nitrogen Free) but it leaves the tank stinking with precipitate and dirties the roots. Think this is the 1st grow I have had where all the stems staying green so plants generally healthy. Cherry Pie still not budding up as quickly or as thickly as the Red hot Cookies but looks like its maybe running only a couple of days behind in growth so no biggie. Few weeks left for it to catch up and surprise me at the end! 😁 Now just to make sure I see no signs of re-veg...as per the D49/FD21 comment, I'll be scowling at GeekLight this week. Digital Timer in there now to ensure no bleed through - power gets hard cut like old times. Unfortunately though, when the light comes on via power-on (and not app timer mode), UV & IR comes on too so have a timer set to stop it after 1 min (Its about all the app being used for now!!! Apart from turning on my IV at midnight for 4 hours - which is, I have just seen, still working). Think that's all the s**te I have to talk for now! Happy Growing all!!! 💪

Day 45: just a quick vid. Been busy soz for posting so little. Day 46: Buds are densing up and mutant is doing mutant things. Lightburn is an issue Day 47: today i tried to fix the mutant problem. Its growing wayy to big for my small 180cm tall tent. Broke one of my light hangers when i tried to tighten it😑 also did some lst but i think the battle might be Lost on this one. Any advice is taken! Other than that, #1 n #2 are doing pretty well. Buds are densing but not at the rate i would want. Might be Bcos my light only draws 200w from wall. Day 48: these ladies are getting frosty swear to god if my light doesnt pull enough watts to dense the nugs, im callbombing spiderfarm till i get new light🌚

what a resin monster! such beautiful plants! one of the 2 phenos had straight peanutbutter flavor!

HPS Lamp 600w GORILLA growing wel and fast. 🙏💯

420Fastbuds: Germination Week Kamala Og Auto This grow, I decided to grow a strain I never have before. I started 14 seeds by soaking them in a glass of water for 48-72hrs then planting directly into the soil. Within 48 hours, all 14 sprouted and emerged into their journey of life. Super excited for these and to see how they'll grow into what they'll become. All in all, Happy Growing

Week 5 Flower. This is the start of Week 5 Flower. Grow is cruising along. Adding Epsom salts on the last 2 feeds of the week. Tip burn from using it too often.

Great week for my beautiful girl's. Not much to say about this week. Just start normal feeding in every other day with 250ml solution for every girl and spray the top soil to keep moist. And also I trimmed the lowest leaves. They look happy because of this.

Hi guys!its getting kind of boring but again a rainy day.They need sunlight bad,the coming days the sun will shine so we will see what happens. Cheers! Finally we have sunshine!The smallest one,a gg,just will not grow i dont know whats wrong with her and she is already in flower. The rest is doing fine i think. Cheers!

Just another photo dump lol This girl is proving to be a slow finish for me. Going on to week 16 now and I’ve decided to give her the flush as her trichs are all starting to go amber. I felt I’ve traded enough potency for yield now and I don’t think she’s really racking on much more weight. This might be the last update until after harvest. Up until it’s time to trim and jar. Wish me luck folks. I’m thinking I’ll be close to a half pound of this fatty 😍😂

11/24 Week begins and she is reaching that point. Feed tomorrow and some defoliation no flush yet as new hairs abound 11/27 Gave her some 6.5 water with a bit of recharge as her tricones are very dense, all white or amber (1%) and may be our most potent grow yet. Harvest in a few days after holiday.

An amazing week 7 is about to start Sunday

# ❄️ The Frozen Archive #3 | Ghost Train Haze ## Sometimes the Greatest Yield Is the Lesson Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋❄️🌱 Welcome back to The Frozen Archive. For anyone joining us for the first time, this series follows our exploration of fresh frozen material, ice & water extraction, solventless concentrates, curing methods, and the many lessons hidden between harvest and the final product. If you would like a complete breakdown of the Bubbleator machine, fresh frozen preparation, ice & water extraction methodology, and collection techniques, please check out The Frozen Archive #1 and #2 where the process is explained in much greater detail. This entry focuses on a cultivar that many of you may already know well: 🚂 Ghost Train Haze. And what a journey she has been. For those curious about her complete cultivation story, the full seed-to-harvest diary remains available on my profile. It was one of my favorite plants to grow and one of the most memorable cultivars of the run. Today we pick up where that story ended. Fresh frozen material. Ice. Water. Curiosity. And a lesson waiting to be learned. --- ## Wash Number Four This extraction represents my fourth overall wash using the Bubbleator machine. By now the process felt familiar. The machine was prepared exactly as before. Ice was added. Fresh frozen Ghost Train Haze flowers were loaded into a properly secured 220-micron wash bag. Additional ice was placed on top. Cold water filled the machine. Temperatures were maintained as close as possible to 0°C (32°F). The methodology remained unchanged. The equipment remained unchanged. The enthusiasm remained unchanged. Only one thing was different. The genetic. --- ## Everything Looked Perfect The wash itself was beautiful. The room filled with incredible aromas. The fresh frozen material smelled amazing. The machine performed flawlessly. The water remained ice cold. The collection process went exactly as planned. At every stage I found myself increasingly excited to see what Ghost Train Haze would produce. After all, if the flower was this impressive, surely the resin would follow. At least that was the theory. Nature, however, always has her own plans. --- ## The Lesson One of the reasons I created The Frozen Archive is to document reality. Not just successes. Not just giant returns. Not just perfect results. Reality. And reality is that not every incredible flower becomes an incredible washing cultivar. Ghost Train Haze taught me exactly that. The returns were significantly lower than what I had experienced during previous washes. Much lower than expected. At first I questioned myself. Did I miss something? Did I make a mistake? Did I wash incorrectly? Was the temperature wrong? Was the timing wrong? But after reviewing the process and comparing observations with experienced hash makers, a different picture emerged. Many haze-dominant and sativa-leaning cultivars have a reputation for being difficult washers. Not because they are poor plants. Not because they lack quality. Simply because they often do not release resin in the same way as many hash-oriented cultivars. And Ghost Train Haze appears to fall into that category. --- ## Was It Worth It? Absolutely. Because what little resin was collected was exceptional. The quantity may have been modest. The quality certainly was not. The resulting material displayed beautiful characteristics. Excellent melt. Wonderful flavor. A rich aromatic profile. And a texture that immediately reminded me why I fell in love with this plant in the first place. In many ways, the resin reflected the flower itself. Unique. Expressive. Memorable. Just not particularly generous. --- ## Looking Back If I am completely honest, part of me wishes I had kept more of this material as flower. Ghost Train Haze was simply that enjoyable. The flowers were outstanding. The smoke was outstanding. And looking back, I probably would have enjoyed preserving more of her in that form. But I do not regret the wash. Because now I know. And knowledge is exactly why this archive exists. --- ## Freeze Drying & Storage The collected resin followed the same path as previous entries. After collection, the material was dried carefully until it reached the desired condition. Once properly dried, it was broken down and prepared for storage. Unlike some previous entries, this report focuses less on quantity and more on observation. The material was transferred into glass storage where it can continue developing while preserving everything it has to offer. Even in small amounts, quality deserves patience. --- ## What Ghost Train Haze Taught Me This entry may not contain the largest yield of the archive. It may not contain the biggest temple ball. It may not contain the most impressive collection photos. But it contains something equally valuable. A lesson. Not every cultivar is destined for every purpose. Some plants become legendary flowers. Some become legendary hash. Some become both. Ghost Train Haze reminded me that understanding the difference is part of becoming a better grower and a better extractor. And honestly? I am grateful for the lesson. --- ## Looking Ahead Will I wash another haze in the future? Probably. Because I am the type of person who likes to test things for myself. One experience teaches a lesson. Multiple experiences create understanding. For now, however, Ghost Train Haze has earned even more of my respect. Not because she produced the biggest return. But because she reminded me that cultivation is still full of surprises. And those surprises are exactly what keeps this journey exciting. --- ## P.S. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Ghost Train Haze genetics and for supporting these projects. A special thank you as well to Plagron, whose nutrient lineup accompanied this plant throughout its journey from seed to harvest, fresh frozen preservation, and ultimately extraction. The plant may not have become the highest-yielding wash of the archive. But she remains one of my favorite cultivars I have had the pleasure of growing. And that, sometimes, is worth far more than a number on a scale. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚

i accidently bought some unbuffered coco and mixed it with my ussual earth, had major calmag problems in mid-flower but i´m still pleased with the results...also had a little trouble with mold at the end due to bad weather and high humidity in the final weeks of the grow, had to remove a few buds and harvest early @ day 55 of flower....but there's still alot of great looking buds left for me to enjoy and all look mostly done... Just harvested and hung them upside down, currently drying them at constant 19.5-20.5°C and 50-60% RH..will update as soon as they are dry

Very good and pure amnesia smell, clasic, never let you down, Love that clasic amnesia smell coming from this flowers, let's see how se keeps performing during this 4th week!

Bounced back just fine after the strip and just chillin getting fat, not really a fan of these pots, I don't feel I can water as evenly and full soak like I can with my Gro Pro pots.
