🌱 Ghost Train Haze — Week 5 From Seed (Late Veg / Pre-Transition) This week nature reminded us who’s in charge. Outside temps dropped to 4–5°C with 90–95% humidity, and instead of fighting it, we adapted — and so did the girls. 🌡️ Environment • Tent temperature: ~21.8°C • RH: ~58% Considering the outside conditions, this is a very comfortable and stable environment, and the plants are showing zero stress signs. Leaf posture is relaxed, growth is steady, and overall vitality is excellent. We’re embracing seasonal changes rather than forcing extremes — and the plants are responding beautifully. ⸻ Nutrition & Watering Strategy Hand-Watered Plants • pH: 5.9 • EC: 1.43 • New addition this week: CalMag Pro — 1 ml/L This is not a reaction to deficiencies. Calcium and magnesium become increasingly important during this phase due to: • accelerating cell division • structural development • increasing transpiration as light intensity rises Introducing CalMag before problems appear helps maintain: • stronger cell walls • stable nutrient uptake • smoother transition toward flowering This is prevention, not correction. ⸻ Autopot Zone • EC: 2.29 • pH: 6.0 • Solution temperature: ~22.8°C In the Autopots we’re running minerals only. Organic inputs don’t behave consistently in passive systems and can lead to: • biofilm buildup • line blockages • unstable nutrient availability Keeping this zone clean, mineral-based, and predictable ensures long-term stability. ⸻ 💡 Light & PPFD • PPFD range: ~700–850 (depending on plant size) • Top light: 100%, unchanged • Plants are praying constantly and clearly growing toward the light — no pushing, no forcing. Under-Canopy & Inner-Canopy Lighting • Beginning of week: OFF • End of week: ON (very gently) This is not to increase total PPFD yet. The goal right now is education, not intensity. By introducing photons: • from below • from inside the canopy • from multiple angles …we’re teaching the plant early that light is everywhere, preparing structure and bud sites for later stages. Intensity will increase only as the plants evolve. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Structure • No heavy training • No aggressive defoliation • Only: • leaf tucking • gentle branch bending • very light LST These plants are naturally compact, with: • beautiful branching • large, healthy leaves • lush green color • excellent vigor in the Autopots Growth is slower compared to other plants in the room, which may be linked to the sativa-leaning genetics. In my experience, sativas often: • develop more slowly early • take longer to finish • but reward patience later We’ll let the plant tell the story. ⸻ 🌸 Veg or Flower? This is a 12/12 from seed run. Some plants in the room are already showing pre-flower. Ghost Train Haze is not — and that’s completely fine. She is still in vegetative growth, building structure. Delayed transition can often mean: • more stretch later • potentially larger final size But we don’t guess — we observe. The plant flips when she’s ready, not when the calendar says so. ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap for Newcomers • Week 5 from seed • Still vegetative • 12/12 light cycle • Stable environment despite harsh weather outside • Preventive CalMag introduced • Clean mineral strategy in Autopots • Multi-angle lighting slowly being introduced • Minimal intervention, maximum observation ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not To) Expect: • continued structural development • slow, steady growth • eventual self-triggered transition Do NOT expect: • forced flowering • rushed development • aggressive training This run is about letting the plant express herself naturally. ⸻ 🙏 Thanks Big thank you to everyone following along, supporting, and sharing knowledge. Appreciation as always to the sponsors — including Lumiflora for the under-canopy lighting — and to the community that makes these shared journals meaningful.

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.

So this is the time where after week 3 my account required a password change and I couldnt open the email to change it for over a month. Luckily my brother took this and sent it to me. Ignore the crocks lol. But at this time I tried mainlining like before but had two plants tops break off. This was on NOVEMBER 5TH so 30 days from seed. At this time the stalks were so thick already it made it hard to work with. I think its cus the strains were different or the magnets lol not sure. Also I transplanted the one buy the door late. I had to buy more dirt. It was rough then came back. So it breaking and looking rough I slacked on the training. Just keeping it for hopefully an oz.

It's week eight of flowering, and Purple Punch x Lemon Drizzle has developed really nicely. The buds are relatively thick and firm, and the sweet aroma got me looking forward to the first taste test. Unfortunately, Lemon Cherry Gelato has not developed as well. The buds are not as thick and firm as I would like yet, but the smell is truly breathtaking.

Flowering day 3 since time change to 12 / 12 h Hey guys . My cutting heating broke 3-4 weeks ago, which was fixed immediately and everything went wonderfully. Now, 3 days ago, the central heating broke down in the entire room, so that at night I only have temperatures of around 13 degrees :-( . One or the other lady is slowly starting to see a phosphorus blockage, as this can no longer be absorbed at temperatures below 15 degrees, like many other nutrients :-( . A friend looked at the heating yesterday and came to the conclusion that a real company had to do it, which is by no means possible for a stranger to enter my room. I quickly ordered heating mats for all the boxes so that the ladies could at least get warm feet. That's all I have this winter full can do . Let's hope everything will be fine 🙏🏻. As soon as the heating mats are attached in the coming days, I will post them in the pictures. Now for the update. Despite the severe cold, the ladies are still doing well and have made good progres . The ladies only had to be watered once this week, each time with 1 l, because it absorbs the water very slowly because of the cold and I don't want to overwater it. I took every single plant in the pot to take a close look at their roots. These are snow white and look very healthy 🙏🏻. It was also the last time neem oil sprayed so that the last trips are finally gone. Otherwise everything was checked and a lot of planning was done, like I do with the heating mats. Since a friend had the same problem in one winter and the heating mats got 10 degrees plus on the pots, I am very confident that it will at least bring something for the last cold month 😃 🙏🏻. I've started flowering even if some are still a bit small, but otherwise they'll get too wide from training and end up taking up space :-) until then have fun and stay healthy 🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.exoticseed.eu/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Thank you for reading I will continue to update once they are drying and ready for cure. I have cut down in jar everything the wait was 91 grams please consider that when they comes to my scale weight i wait until the main stem breaks with a loud crunch and the buds are really dry to the touch reason for it I have a very busy life and at the end of the day this is just a hobby so I cannot be opening those jars many times a day at most one in the morning and one in night so I want to avoid mold on them.so I push in a Boveda pack to keep them nice. After three weeks in jar that smell has incremented a lot be aware if where you are it's not allowed to smoke because once you open that bag or container everybody knows you open one of those buds it is incredibly powerful smoke and it is very very smooth great strain to have. Taste 10 out of 10 Aroma 10 out of 10 High 10 out of 10 . Night. strong THC. Yield 10out of 10. Taste 10 out of 10 Aroma 10 out of 10 High 10 out of 10 . Night. strong THC. Yield 10out of 10. thank you for reading have a happy grow

Hello guys, I went on vacation for 2 weeks so i asked a friend of mine to take care of my plants. Well....They are alive😅 but he didn't do any work on them LOL. He didn't even try to spot deficiencies... Neighter did some LST so they are kind of fuckt up for now, The PH rates where oke, like 6-6.2 but the EC rate was like 1 to 1,5 so he might have giving them more water turns then he gave nutes, I'm glad that he didnt overfeed, this little underfeeding didn't harm them alot and at this early flower stage it doesn't mind that much. I didn't want them to stretch that long like this, the stems went thicker so bending will be harder but I will try to. Pictures named Update 1 is how it kind of looked when I came back ( I did some defoliation before making the photos, so it looked way worse before that). If you compare week 12 with week 15, you can see a nice equal cantopy in week 12 and you see it turned to shit in week 15 lol. The Shamans went into flowering stage for like 1,5 week if i gues it right and the Critical Kushes are about to. I will post new pictures when i get all the work done and when they recover a little bit from that, i gues it will be putted online in the weekends. So this is all for now. Update: The way it got handled it demotivated me for this week so i barly did something about it nor did i make new pictures, Sorry guys, I will make them better next week for sure :) Enjoy.

Plants left pretty much unattended the entire week. pH spiked up to 6.5 during this time, might have to start looking at the pH every couple of days and correcting accordingly. So far, so good, leafs looking a little lime green, but it's been a long time since my last hydro grow, so I'll play it conservative and wait before I start increasing individual nutrients.

Week 1 24 hours ethos popped and began to stretch Temp 76 humidity domes on top 5 of 5 out going directly into pots and 24 hour lighting on day 3! gonna run 24/7 for 30 then switch over hopefully. Nothing added but FishShit and rootdrench to pop

Nähere Informationen zur Ernte und Fotos folgen im weiteren Verlauf.

Week 11 for Black Lebanon by SSSC Growth wise i don't feel that she's growing very much only thing i really notice from the pics is she might be filling in a little. Last week was another hot hot week but we are coming down to the low 30's again for the rest of the upcoming week so think the plants will be happier. I wish the growing area wasn't so sheltered to wind as i feel like these bigger girls would really benefit from it. This week ive tried to water wayyyyy more than i have due to the hot weather, she got 15L some days & 7L other days but nearly everyday.

It’s hard to notice the difference when you see it every day. However, when I look at the photos from the previous week, I think there is already a noticeable difference. This strain is very interesting. My first Crystal Meth was completely purple. This plant only has purple stripes on the stems. Let’s see how it will be in the future. It also depends on the temperature.

Coming along nicely this week, hoping to see them explode in the next 2-3weeks. All are very healthy and have responded just how I like to LST. Purpinator is bringing out the smells in there definately and they are all smelling good in their own way. I recommend all the products I have used in this diary highly as they haven't failed me in the past(yield and quality). The only new product I am using is green planet purpinator, so I will let you know if I recommend this too when all is finished. I'll upload daily or every couple of days. To clarify I have 6x 55litre buckets with 3 plants of the same strain in each. I have used coco substrate and grown all of them from seed(courtesy of barney's farm) Thanks for looking.

The Terp tent in full flush mode.... started flawless finish on day 75/81 and flushed all 4 plants throughly let dry out on day76 at night b4 loghts out i then fed 1 liter each plant of plain ph reg water 6.0 ... day77 marked plain water 5.95ph. With slight run off about 3 liters. Day 78 /84 is today which upon checking my trics id say they will be ready for 48 hrs of straight darkness on day 83/89..... from there they will be sawzawed unless yall got a pair of scissors that can cut through 3 inch stems hahaha damn rhino skin .....(buyit) All 3 cookies gelato are turning purple 😋 💜 😍 ya babe shine for me Cg1 is a yeilder that smells like straight up Blueberry pancakes with some side muffins Cg2 is short but she got cake bro ..... sticky n will be a trimmer Cg3 no joke smells like candy gas and so frosty I think we might class this one as the best I might ever grow lol no shares on this lady fingerprint scanner on the jar opener ....... Green gelato is one hella weird growing plant to me idk why maybe I did something wrong or right but these buds r still skinny but fattened up alot tha ks to over drive .... they are about 20 inch buds and 6 main colas that long smells like lemon candy and gas earthy mix deff gonna be a trimmer but a decent yeild I bet for how small the bud sticks are lol 😆 they like foot long hotdogs but like 2 of em in 1 lol 😆 😂 👌 Anyways so far so good kept it clean tidy and fulfilled my passion for thc ... What more could always bored needed something to do carpenter with zero side time ask for honestly tho for my 1st ever grow eith 100%brand new equipment not knowing what I'm doing , I think I did well I pat myself on. The back ... I hope to make my name in the I dusty somehow someway down the line ... possibly breed my own strains and brand it the terp tent thanks for those who veiw my.grow and stay green fams. Till next week when we get some hopefully final pics b4 dry?????

Week 4 has arrived She its more thirst with each passing day. OG Kush hv 8 weeks of flowering probably. Waiting for next days, brazilian summer will be great. Cheers.

Week 13 for Gelato 41 by Seedstockers What a monster she's becoming... cant believe she still has 2/3 months of veg to go😂😂 Hasn't been fed in 2 weeks only when nature rains on her😎 Still going to be pulling her side ways while i have room to do so & bending some branches in the middle to give her nice an even growth distribution. Have some ugly jumping spider friends keeping her clean from any unwanted buddies👊 Not going to defoliate at all this week i don't think just going to keep letting her do her own thing! Think its safe to say the roots are nicely settled in her big pot😂 The excitement for this girl to go into flower is REAL definitely going to be 64+ tops on her.

They’re looking extremely healthy..gave em their first nute feed with the last watering seem to be doing fairly well..fimmed the GG and LST. Did not touch the unkown as it looks smaller to be the same age. Running GHE base line with few extra supplements. ****UPDATE**** Both are LST’d..might rethink the way I tie them. Going for a “coil” type look, we’ll see though. They’re looking great! Hoping for females!
