Catching The Ghost Train Haze @ Zamnesia
🌱 Ghost Train Haze — Week 4 Diary Photoperiod: 12/12 from seed Quick Recap (For New Joiners) This run follows a 12/12 from seed protocol, meaning plants are exposed to flowering photoperiod from day one. This approach typically results in: • Slower visible growth compared to veg-then-flower cycles • Earlier structural maturity • Compact, symmetrical architecture • A very honest expression of genetics Environmental conditions (temperature, relative humidity, airflow, and lighting intensity) remain identical to all other diaries in this project to allow clean comparisons across cultivars. ⸻ Week 4 Overview Both Ghost Train Haze plants are performing phenomenally. They are progressing steadily toward their 7th node, showing: • Excellent symmetry • Balanced internodal spacing • Strong apical direction • Calm, unstressed posture While growth under 12/12 is notoriously slower, this week reinforces an important lesson: slow does not mean stagnant. These plants are developing with intention and precision. ⸻ Leaf Morphology & Color One of the most striking features this week is the leaf quality: • Large, round, well-formed leaves • High surface detail and venation clarity • A lush, healthy green tone without excess darkness • No signs of deficiency, toxicity, or stress This visual expression reflects proper nutrient availability, stable root-zone conditions, and strong genetics working in harmony. ⸻ Structure & Symmetry Both plants are: • Highly symmetrical • Evenly stacked • Structurally clean and predictable This level of symmetry at Week 4 is a strong indicator of: • Stable hormonal balance • Correct light intensity for plant size • No need for corrective training at this stage ⸻ Containers & Growth Rate Observation These Ghost Train Haze plants are currently growing in plastic pots. A preliminary observation: • Growth appears slightly slower compared to plants in plastic grow bags used elsewhere in the run ⚠️ Important note: This is too early to draw conclusions. Container material, gas exchange, moisture dynamics, and root behavior need more time to show meaningful differences. This observation is logged for long-term comparison, not judgment. ⸻ Nutrition Strategy (Why They Look Like This) The plants are receiving the same locked nutritional protocol used across the project: • Balanced mineral nutrition • Root support additives • Enzymatic activity support • Controlled EC and pH Why this matters: This nutrition strategy prioritizes: • Root efficiency over forced top growth • Enzyme-driven nutrient availability • Stable uptake under 12/12 conditions The result is exactly what we see: Healthy leaves, calm growth, detailed structure, and no visual imbalance. ⸻ Studio Session Both plants were taken to the studio for a dedicated photo shoot, allowing: • Accurate visual documentation • Clear comparison week-to-week • Educational transparency for the community These visuals are part of the long-term archival value of the project. ⸻ What to Expect (and Not Expect) What to expect next: • Continued slow but consistent node development • Gradual increase in structural density • Early signs of transition in coming weeks What not to expect: • Explosive vertical growth • Stretch comparable to veg-trained plants • Immediate flower formation This is normal and correct for 12/12 from seed. ⸻ Community Note Due to YouTube community guidelines, our educational channel was taken down.

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.

Mac1 F1 Hybrid
Hello everyone. As you can see, the 150 by 150 centimeter tent is filled up almost completely. There's maybe a little bit of room left in the right corner, but overall it's pretty full, and we still have two weeks of stretch to go. The amount of branches are quite dense and overlapping making it difficult to give an accurate count without risking an error. My second MAC 1 F1 hybrid is sleeping at the moment, her first time in flower, so the first time she experienced the sleep, a darkness of 12 hours. I will update the video tomorrow to add some pictures of her. The big one in the 150 centimeter tent is today in day eight of flower. I wish you a nice day. Best regards, Growfather.
Rainbow Melon. Fastbuds
Que pasa familia, vamos con la decim semana de floración de estas Rainbow Melón feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros que además provocó un shock que también solucione. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/24 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Las flores están bien prietas y resinosas, sacan unos aromas muy fuertes que no logro describir así, está acabando de madurar, los tonos que se marca son increíbles, no veas como se han puesto. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Purple Lemonade Auto
Hey My 420 Friends. Very cruisey week this week,kicking back watching our Purple Princesses popping out more purples and bulking heavier day by day.Changed watering schedule to flush with ph adjusted water and dropping the nutrients.I also measured light and have lowered the Mars TSW2000 to get a higher Par reading but they are still at around 35-40 Cm from the light.Some girls branches needed abit of stretching to let lower light in and get more light and air distribution.I have also staked some for heavy bud support.Have got some close up photos of chromes….The girls are teasing me with there Trichromes,and heck I’m sure there not ready to go but there flirting with beautiful trichromes and just delicious smell of sweet Terps,PURPLE LEMONADE Flowers.This strain is my new favourite.Goodbye Purple Grand Daddy,We have a NEW Purple Power House around.😎🌱🤜🏼🤛🏼😊🍁💨🚬 https://growdiaries.com/grower/420highlifecouple https://youtube.com/channel/UCKvjJ_S8nRI2wTc4cx_O1KQ https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=616a33e294e50 With every order you will get a free seed Join the community on GROWDIARIES It’s a awesome place to meet cool people, document your grow and learn a lot from fellow growers, happy growing 😊🌱

Began with equal parts of GH at a very diluted concentration. This week, I increased the concentration to the manufacturer's recommended dosage for seedlings (1/4 tsp per gallon).

So i have decided to harvest tomorrow so this will be my last update of the flowering period of my grow. She's looking like Autumn and has such beautiful colours and extremely strong and fruity scent. i cant wait to try her, i probably could have waited a little longer but considering she was supposed to be an auto and seed to harvest in 10-12 weeks, i think i've done well waiting this long lol. All of the Trichomes are cloudy so i'm up for trying the more energetic heady high, that is supposed to come with harvesting at this stage.

A lot has happened this week. After I watered the nettle manure, some of the leaves turned a little yellow. There seems to have been enough nitrogen left in the soil, so this week there was only pure water. Unfortunately, my supply of rainwater is pretty empty, so I topped up the tank with tap water. After I noticed that the roots were already coming out of the drainage holes, I thought it was time for another repotting. As you can see, the roots have spread well. This time the plant will be planted in the 55-litre end pot. I'm using a fabric pot from the brand Gronest. The soil is the same as for the first repotting. Here is the nutrient profile again. Floragard TKS 2 N 210 mg/L - P 240 mg/L - K 270 mg/L - Mg 70 mg/L - S 150mg/L After repotting, I defoliated the plant a little and attached plant hooks. I have looked for inspiration on the Internet and am trying to build up a good basic structure. As the pot size has changed, the watering quantity also had to be increased. I tried 8 litres this time every 2 to 3 days and nothing leaked out at the bottom. The weather was better again this week. The daytime temperatures fluctuate between 17 and 22 degrees. I'm happy with the weather so far, but it could still get a bit warmer. Especially at night.

Season 2 is officially underway and so excited for this grow. Growing 4 plants, but space is a lil limited. Growing in an 80x80cm so using small pots. 2x 8l and then 1x 5l and 1x 4.7l (if you wanna be exact lol). This time I decided to experiment a bit. I'm testing 2 different soils, both in 8l pots, both Purple Punch Auto by Fastbuds, both in airpots. Their names are Lily and Robin. Also testing fabric bags against airpots. Both in same soil, both in 5l pots, both Wild Dwarf Auto by Bulk Seed Bank (that was the plan but now it's 1 WD and another Purple Punch). Their names are Jess and Cece. For this one, Lily, had the seed in water for about 24 hours then in paper towel. Then, into gorilla mix.
