Can't believe these now absolutley smashing it. Think it's another week of Overdrive for a few of them and then flushing. There is one that developed some black spots which I think is potassium deficiency. Other than that the rest are doing amazing under the Spider Farmer and Advanced Nutrients. The Purple is crazy really don't wanna chop it down become attached haha Smells like blackcurrant fruit punch omg Unreal . One smells like giant bag of skittles fruity as hell man! 2 weeks maybe and she done 💪👽

This week went pretty well for my sour diesel auto. She Finally stopped growing vertically at about 48 inches to the top of the highest cola. We did have a serious heatwave and high humidity I been dealing with as well, but so far so good. The only thing I changed this week with nutrients is I raised my ec value to 1.6, at the advice of another grower, and the sour diesel took it like the piglet that she is. I am still on an 18/6 light cycle,which I plan to stay with the entire grow, and still feeding Maxibloom, calmag, and koolbloom. I am seeing some bright orange colored spots on the top leaves, but I am hoping it is just a little light bleaching. I have no experience with this as I have NEVER grown anything indoors before other than vegetable seedlings. I just wanted to say thank you to this community for all the advice, tips and encouragement along the way, very much appreciated all, and Blaze On!

I sowed cantaloupe bag seeds directly to flower box drip irrigation.I transplanted my white widow seedling to flower box. So the new line up this run is cantaloupe, blueberry, Girl Scout cookies and white widow. Cantaloupe seeds sprouted and i will keep the most vigorous grower.bb is throwing pistils.GSC is producing first set of true leaves. At the end of week 2 cantaloupe has first leaves so does white widow. My Gsc has first set of true leaves and my blueberry is putting out pistils and trichs.Things are going well

Day 70 - It takes 5 days for the soil to dry out, with a 2.5 gallon dosage of the above listed nutrients. She has been selectively de-leafed, since the last major defoliation. The goal from now to harvest, is to maximize the light penetration, and airflow throughout the canopy, while sacrificing as few leaves as possible!

Black Runtz is a crazy beauty, a black isolated phenotype of the very famous Zamnesia Runtz, in the last week you will find the white phenotype with a green apple flavor but going back a week you will find the black one honestly more beautiful to look at even if this is no joke at all, especially for resin. **Remember that for all varieties we have at least two plants, one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques. This is the plant worked with a topping, the harvest of the other is precisely in the next week. Technique used // In this case we let the plant grow up to the 4th internode and we cut, then repeated toppings until we reached 16 growing branches. After the second week of flowering we eliminated the branches that would not have seen too much light to strengthen the others. Better with the techniques or normal ones? This time we have two very different phenotypes, a plant with medium internodal distance this time I prefer the plant left to grow straight but I know that it can be done very well with a main lining. Flower quality // From one to 10 stars 15. The plant has resined very well on all sides the resin is really abundant and above average. The buds have been washed as recommended by Zamnesia. Check the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/guida-growing-cannabis/333-lavaggio-delle-ceme Fertilizers// I am very happy with how I managed to unload the plant that at a certain point before going to flush was fed for a few days only with additives and then went to flush and we are very very well discolored, I predict a very tasty flower, grown organic and flushed successfully, the flavor and taste will be epic. All Plagron fertilizers and additives in the green/100% organic version have fully satisfied me. Choose your soil according to your style and calculate the sheet on the website www.plagron.com - Brother if you are stubborn use additives listen every now and then.... and then come and tell me. The fertilizers instead can be found in convenient all-inclusive packages on the Zamnesia website. This variety is already a legend in the normal version, imagine in the Black version... try it! ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11159-zamnesia-seeds-black-runtz.html Zamnesia Description // Black Runtz descends from a truly legendary genetic heritage. Our breeders have used three modern classics from the United States to create this variety: Zkittlez, Gelato and Runtz. With 20% THC and flavors of grapes and berries, Zkittlez has transmitted its delicious flavors and relaxing effects. Gelato contributed to Black Runtz's immense flavor profile by imparting high concentrations of the terpenes limonene and humulene. Finally, Black Runtz inherited the high potency of the original Runtz, a strain with a respectable 21% THC. The end result of this 3-way cross is a strain with 55% indica genetics and 45% sativa. Black Runtz boasts a fast flowering time, very high potency, and contrasting yet balanced terpenes that support its delicious flavor profile. Music and Frequencies // For about 4-6 hours a day my plants listen to 432Hz frequencies specially created for their well-being and sometimes a bit of black music to give them those vibes that only music can give. www.radionula.com All the best that mother nature has to offer is at ---- www.zamnesia.com

So just a quickie for ya, Maria is two weeks into flowering and she has slowly started to show the signs of the tentacles (le-tenticle'). She has also shot up about 15 cm taller than she was (WOW!). Using LST to try keep all the branches a little further apart from each other- just gentle bending.

🌱 Ghost Train Haze — Week 7 From Seed 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here • 12/12 from seed • Mineral base in AutoPots (steady availability, no dry-back stress) • Occasional top-feed with organic inputs • Selective defoliation in the room — but these girls were left untouched • Multi-layer LED canopy + under-canopy lighting • Week 7 from seed → stretch phase still active And now? She’s around 70 cm, some phenos pushing 80 cm, praying nonstop, stretching like she has somewhere important to be. That’s Haze. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Snapshot • Day temp: ~28 °C • RH: ~65% • EC: ~2.9 (higher than the rest — intentionally) • pH: ~6.5 • Height range: 40–80 cm • LED full-spectrum, layered canopy On paper? Some growers panic at 28 °C in flower. In practice? Understanding numbers. ⸻ 🍃 LED Physics — Why 28 °C Is Not 28 °C Under LED: • No infrared dumping • Leaf surface runs 2–4 °C cooler than room • Lower radiant load • Different transpiration dynamics than HPS So if: • Ambient = 28 °C • Leaf temp ≈ 24–26 °C • RH = 65% 👉 Leaf-level VPD lands beautifully in early–mid flower comfort zone. And the plants confirm it: • Deep healthy green • No tacoing • No clawing • No light bleaching • Strong internode spacing • Constant upward praying That praying? Not stress-praying. It’s metabolic confidence. ⸻ ⚡ Why EC Is Higher on These Girls (~2.9) This is important. Ghost Train Haze is: • Vigorous • Long-flowering • High metabolic rate • High transpiration under LED She’s drinking more. She’s moving nutrients faster. She’s building vertical structure aggressively. If we fed her like the others? She’d outpace availability. So EC is slightly higher here to match: • Growth speed • Stretch demand • Structural building phase We’re not pushing blindly. We’re matching consumption. And the uniform leaf color across the canopy confirms uptake is balanced. ⸻ Let’s Talk Genetics — Why She’s “Late” Ghost Train Haze carries heavy Haze lineage. That means: • Longer stretch • Longer flowering time • Slower early flower stacking • Higher final terpene complexity • More cerebral profile Compared to hybrids or more indica-leaning cultivars, Haze types: • Take longer to show flower mass • Spend more time building structure • Finish later But what do they give back? • Airy-but-resinous spears • Intense terpene complexity • Electric, clear-headed medicine • Beautiful, elegant bud architecture They compensate. Always. ⸻ 📏 The Stretch Question — Will She Outgrow the LEDs? At 70 cm in Week 2 flower? Yes. She’s not done stretching. Haze typically stretches: • 2–3 weeks into flower • Sometimes up to Week 4 depending on phenotype Expect: • Another 10–25 cm possible • Internodes to slightly elongate • Apical dominance to stay strong Bringing LEDs up soon? Smart move. Better to anticipate than react. ⸻ 🍃 Defoliation Choice — Why We Didn’t Touch Her We left her natural. Why? Because: • Haze structure is naturally airy • She manages light penetration well • Over-defoliation can slow stretch momentum • She’s showing perfect airflow already Sometimes restraint is the better technique. ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect Next Week You will likely see: • Continued vertical stretch (but slowing by end of week) • First real bud site stacking • Slight shift from lime green to deeper flower tone • Increased thirst What you should NOT expect: • Massive bud density yet • Hard swelling • Early frost explosion It’s too early. Haze builds in stages. ⸻ Stability Over Reaction We are not chasing numbers. We are reading the plant. Temperature? Fine. Humidity? Fine. EC? Matching demand. Structure? Strong. Leaves? Praying but relaxed. This is controlled vigor. ⸻ Final Thoughts Week 7 from seed. Week 2 flower. ~70 cm. Still climbing. And honestly? This is exactly what you want from a Haze. Patience now equals magic later. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To the OGs. To the new followers. To the lovers and even the skeptics. To the GrowDiaries platform. To the GD community. To the sponsors. To everyone watching silently. Thank you. We’re learning together. We’re growing together. We’re documenting honestly. And in the end? We grow medicine.

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.

I tried three types of training intensities. Pheno 1 I topped all cola sites twice for more tops. Pheno 2 I topped each site once. Pheno 3 I topped the main cola once and tied down the whole plant. Pheno 1 will have the the biggest harvest. Pheno 2 will have the most trichomes and turning purple. Pheno 3 has the largest orange colas. Going to push the trichomes this time.

I love the sativa shaped nug-towers! When my plants grow big, I like to grow them until the very end of their cycle! That's why the extended flower period. Video of Measurement of yield: T=Tops(92grams), M=Mids(59.1 grams), L=Lowers(58.6grams) Total: 209.7 grams (1-2 grams worth, was taste-tested prior to scaling.)

there is a significant increase in growth after bending the upper cola, as compared with the sativa, the WB grows and blooms much faster, very grateful to your advice, everything is clearly illuminated, on the next allotment I think to add some ice and shed everything with cold water, the flavor is very strong, for three days I made leaf clippings on the lower part of the plant, fertilized 2-3 times a week, I try to add less than the specified norm, I don’t feel like leaves, I feel as you can see it’s not very bad, I feel this variety will be closer to the harvest than the neighboring sativa, it pleases, and I feel the harvest will not be bad) Well, we are waiting for 7 weeks, wish me luck)

Week 2 of 🌹Flowering and some of Kaiydaan's sugar leaves look as though, they've been dusted with Confectioner's sugar. She still has no smell that I can recognize, however, she has a citrus/pine scent when you rub her leaves between your fingers. "Freeman", the 3rd girl to sprout, 2nd girl to 🌼Flower, and the girl we were attempting to manifold, is growing in healthy and strong. We weren't able to manifold her, because she began to show signs of 🌻Flower when Kaiydaan did, WAY EARLY. Not wanting to shock her, we ceased all topping and stripping. So basically we're left with a topped Auto that was partially stripped below the 3rd node. I think "Freeman" could have withstood the ⚡shock of multiple toppings, but I rather not risk that theory on a first grow. "J" is still in full Veg well behind "Freeman" and "Kaiydaan". We are still feeding full Veg nutrients to "J" as we taper off "Freeman" and "Kaiydaan". I don't have bloom boosters so we will be relying on our organic amended soil and organic fertilizers to get us through Flower. July 8, 2021 I defoliated and rotated the crop. "Kaiydaan" and "J" are doing very well and are getting stickier with every passing day. July 12, 2021 Monday. Things are progressing. Not much change, no stretching. "J" is still in full Veg, weeks behind "Kaiydaan' & "Freeman" with no signs of moving into Flower. I don't believe she is a Photoperiod, but just a different Phenotype from the others.
