🌱 Ghost Train Ace — Week 10 From Seed (Week 5 Flower)
“The Rise of Big Mama”
🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here
This run has been unique from day one.
12/12 straight from seed — no traditional veg phase — letting each plant express itself naturally from the start.
What we’re seeing now is a perfect example of what happens when strong genetics meet minimal restriction:
• Explosive vertical growth
• Natural structure formation
• Zero training, just guidance
And now, one plant has clearly stepped forward.
Big Mama — standing around 180–183 cm, claiming her space, her light, and her identity.
⸻
🌿 The Star of the Room
From this point forward, the focus shifts.
The other plants are doing well and will get their final report — but this one…
this one is something special.
• Massive vertical structure
• Strong lateral branching
• Bud sites stacking clean and aggressively
• Resin already forming heavily for this stage
And one of the most beautiful signs:
💧 Constant transpiration (“always praying and sweating”)
→ This is a plant fully engaged with her environment
⸻
💡 Light Intensity — Controlled Chaos
PPFD ranges:
• Top canopy: ~1500 PPFD
• Lower canopy: ~800 PPFD
This variation is not a flaw — it’s a reflection of natural structure.
Because:
• Different heights = different light exposure
• Different phenotypic expression = different light tolerance
And she’s handling it like a champion.
👉 The top buds are pushing high photosynthetic limits
👉 Lower sites still receive enough energy to develop properly
This creates:
• Strong apical dominance
• But still productive secondary flowers
⸻
🌡️ Environment & VPD Balance
• Temperature: 26°C
• Humidity: 60%
• CO₂: ~1000 ppm
At first glance, 60% RH in flower might raise eyebrows —
but here’s the key:
👉 Leaf VPD is in a functional range due to elevated CO₂ and active transpiration
What we’re seeing:
• High metabolic activity
• Constant water movement
• No stagnation
This is not a passive environment — it’s alive.
⸻
💨 Airflow — The Silent Engine
At this stage, airflow becomes critical.
Not just for:
• Mold prevention
But for:
• Gas exchange
• Transpiration efficiency
• Heat distribution across the canopy
With a plant this dense and tall, airflow isn’t optional — it’s structural support.
⸻
💧 Feeding Strategy — Why This Approach
This plant is on AutoPots, running mostly mineral feeding:
• Terra Bloom
• Power Buds
• CalMag Pro
With occasional organic input (non-strict, intuitive)
Why this works here:
AutoPots favor:
• Stability
• Clean nutrient delivery
• Consistent EC
👉 Minerals ensure:
• Immediate availability
• No buildup or biofilm risk in the system
👉 Occasional organics:
• Add complexity
• Support microbial interaction (even if limited)
This hybrid mindset gives:
• Control + Expression
⸻
⚡ Current Parameters
• EC: 2.8
• pH: 6.5
• Adjusted with:
• Lemon Kick
• pH Plus
She’s feeding heavy — no doubt about it.
Estimated water intake:
👉 ~1.8 – 2L per day
Which matches:
• Her size
• Her metabolic rate
• Her constant transpiration
⸻
❄️ Frost & Genetic Expression (ACE Influence)
This is where things get exciting.
ACE genetics tend to:
• Stretch aggressively
• Build structure before density
• Then suddenly flip into resin production
And that’s exactly what’s happening:
👉 Early frost development
👉 Aromas already loud at Week 5
👉 Bud formation still expanding
This is the transition phase:
Structure → Resin → Density
⸻
📏 Stretch Status
Stretch appears to be:
👉 Mostly complete
Any further growth:
• Likely minimal
• Focus shifting into flower mass and resin production
And honestly…
with a plant already near 2 meters — that’s a blessing 😄
⸻
🔮 What to Expect Next Week
• Bud stacking acceleration
• Increased resin coverage
• Stronger terpene expression
• Higher nutrient demand stabilization
• Possible slight fade starting on older leaves
This is where she begins to define her final form.
⸻

💚 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.

😺 We decided to flower these a little earlier than we originally intended to make room for some new strains...I will never mainline a plant this wide again indoors lol, it seemed cool at the time but as you can see it just takes up more space 😑 👎🏻
...we gave them their first shot of bloom nutrients yesterday (we typically do this 1 week before flower but things came up and we learned we'll need the tent available)...the calcium def spots seemed to have cleared up naturally on the mainline, the other plants are fairly uniform in color (not too dark anymore), and lower growth has been removed...all systems go for flower! 💪😺, I'm hoping for a significant flowering stretch, the new growth after the last mainline topping is approx. 6inches, if this stretches to 12-14inches it should build 8 really good sized colas per side.. thanks for reading! We'll update midweek..happy growing everyone!!

🐱 be careful what you wish for folks..we asked for stretch and we got it..too much in fact, the node spacing isn't good, far too wide with this strain..we lowered both lights in the tent to get this to stop and turned up the fans to really beat on these for a few days..hopefully this will strengthen them, I really would hate to have to steak these later...

Switched to my 4x4 tent with 400 watt bloom plus. Also added my first video of this diary. Plants have been repotted into bigger medium. Only the Blue Dream and Blue Haze will stay in this tent because they are both sativa leaning. The blue cheese will go back into my other custom cabinet for flowering. I keep them separate so I can grow bigger plants and Indica flowers for roughly 2 weeks longer than sativa strains .

Day 12 since flip. Not too much to report, we’re going thru the early flower stretch. Plants are enjoying the environment and are perked up. During this time we slowly ramp the lights up about 1-2% each day until we get to about 80%, that’s usually the max I can run this light in a 4x4. Slowly ramping up the light can avoid the stress caused by blasting your plants all at once. I’ve seen too many stress herms in early flower caused by too intense light. We will also begin to lower humidity by about 3% each week to increase VPD as the plants begin a higher rate of transpiration. We will also do a final clean up of the lower skirts again probably around day 21 (after they have finished their stretch) to ensure energy is directed towards top colas, and to ensure no funny business (herms) are going on underneath which is always a possibility with feminized seeds
VPD: 1.22
🌡️: 78 Fahrenheit
💦: 60%
💡: 55% @ 20 inches (550 Ppfd)
Just plain tap water until medium is saturated. Currently each lady gets about one gallon of water every 4 days.

Tag 63: Die Pflanze erholt sich nur schlecht, ich vermute es war die Hitze vorletze Woche. Aber der Schaden zeigt sich wohl erst jetzt so nach und nach. Genau da wo es Kühler wurde 😲
Tag 65: Habe die verbrannten Blätter entfernt, doch auch die neuen Blätter sehen auch nicht wirklich gut aus. Die Pflanze hat Millionen winzige neue Zweige ausgebildet.
Die müsste ich eigentlich auch noch alle entfernen irgendwann. Ich bin am überlegen die Pflanze platt zu machen.
Tag 66: Ich habe die Pflanze schweren Herzens platt gemacht 😭. Da war einfach der Wurm drinnen. Ich will die Sorte aber so bald wie möglich erneut growen.

Diese Woche musste ich am Ball bleiben, ein krasser Stretch machte ein fast tägliches LST und eine dezente Entlaubung notwendig. Um einen schönen Ertag für zwei zu generieren, habe ich mich aufgrund der Lage unseres Balkons entschieden, alle Pflanzen kräftig runterzubinden. Zwei Ziele habe ich dabei verfolgt. Zum Einen haben wir hier maximal sieben Stunden mit direkter Sonneneinstrahlung. Durch LST erhoffe ich mir eine gleichmäßige Blütenbildung und Konzentration von Terpenen. Zum Anderen liegen wir mit unserem Balkon mitten im Dorfzentrum mit regem „Publikumsverkehr“. Das deutsche Cannabis Gesetz sieht vor, dass der Anbau nicht öffentlich einsehbar sein darf. Ohne das herunter Binden könnte man die Damen allerdings sehen. Die Anordnung der Pflanzen ist auch so vorgenommen worden, das sich eine Art Sonnenfalle bildet. Jede Pflanze und insbesondere die Blüten bekommen das maximal Mögliche an Sonneneinstrahlung. 🌞
Gegossen wird nun morgens und abends nach Gefühl.
Purple Punch Auto fühlt sich ganz wohl hier. Die Vorblüte sieht vielversprechend aus.

Hallo to You all my familly and usual visitors. Thank you for stopping by and all the likes and comments....You make my day!
I gave the Blue Cheese a trim on 5th december and gave her four days of darkness, the chop was performed on december 9th I took a lot of photographs and videos commemorating these events for you to enjoy :)
I think she came out quite decent especially considering that she had some monster/deformed leaves till the 4th week of veg. also looking back I should have moved her to the bigger place in that time...she would be far more symmetrical ;)
It was a joy to work with Mars Hydro and their equipment in this grow. A big thanks to the Mars Hydro team for this opportunity, you truly provide first class grow kits and lamps.
That's all i have for you till the drying & curing process is over I will update then. I want to thank you all for accompanying me in this journey, all the likes and comments...You growmies make me feel here at GD at home thank you 🙌👊😇

Aussi on as ajouté le Trichoderma harzanium qui préviens des apparitions de moisissures comme le botrytis, on en as mis au millieu de nos pots, on met toutes les chances de notre côté !
Je tiens aussi à préciser que j’active les graines en les laissant 4 à 8h dans un verre d’eau au bon ph, et ensuite les mets dans des serviettes humide pour la germination, je n’ai pas encore eu de graine qui n’ont pas germé avec cette méthode, je met une toute petite pincée de trhichoderma dans les serviette vraiment très très peu pour stimuler les racines rapidement.

This was my 1st week with my new 2x2. The brand new elufah uap-1500. This light has a much better spec than my spider farmer light did. One of the plants took a little bit of stress from the spec changing but they are bouncing back. By the end of the week I should be ramping the light back up. They are some fastbuds plants so I’m sure they will love extra light.

The cycle of the strain is really easy too grow given the correct conditions.
Overall great strain too grow I found a few issues having a mixed strain photoperiod/autoflower tent whichbin future will not be happening again.
Flower at end not all there the heats being experience has been hard too control but stil pushed through.
The younger bonsai got the chop days earlier with the older tropicana too follow, I'll be returning too the tropicana ff range too run only ff range too get full potential in future and focus on those solely.
The end flower was hit with high heat but has been put in for a long cure too see what we can save wheather that be for rosin or flower 🌱
Dry weight after the high heat it's been put through was roughly 38gran for the older girl and just over 26gram for the shorter bonsai with around a total of 64 excluding testing smoke what not...

I used nature's living soil and PH water only, she came out smaller than I expected but was still a lot of fun to grow and I learned quite a lot.
