Away 9 days. Showed some deficiency mostly on plant 2. Light defoliation on plant 1. More aggressive defoliation of affected leaves and some bud site stripping on Plant 2. Cleaned up the bottom branches of plant 2. Started bloom nutes day 45 half dose

Day 16 some low stress training for her 👍 I'm using tap water so not fully organic but food wise it's all organic

I dumped the water and added new today with nutrients. Two plants are looking really healthy. I'll focus on these now and let the others slowly grow on the side. The one I transplanted late is dead. Will update more as it develops. UPDATE: Largest plant is drooping a lot. I'm assuming the auto-waterer over-watered again. Avoid this flower pot. I emptied the water and am letting it dry out a bit before watering again. UPDATE: The auto-waterer soaked the large plant. I've poked holes in the medium and lowered the light to just above the plants to hopefully help dry it out quickly. Also have a fan on it. UPDATE: The plant dried out enough that it's looking healthy again. Yay!

Ghost Train Haze — Week 11 from Seed (Week 7 Flower) 12/12 from seed — no veg, no limits. She didn’t ask for permission. She just kept going. ⸻ Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run was never about controlling size. It was about channeling energy. Straight into 12/12 from seed. No vegetative phase to stretch her intentions— just a direct line from seed → structure → flower. And still… she chose to become a 1.8m tower. That tells you everything about the genetics. Stable environment. Consistent feeding. No interruptions, no panic moves. We didn’t push her. We kept up with her. ⸻ Week 7 Flower — Controlled Chaos At this stage, she’s fully expressing: – Vertical dominance – Long, stacked flower sites – Increasing density without losing structure – And that frost… building fast now She’s not just tall— she’s productive across the entire column. And the smell? Louder every day. Sharper. More complex. This is where Ghost Train starts to feel like Ghost Train. ⸻ Feeding & Parameters — Why These Numbers We’re running: – EC: ~2.9 – pH: 6.5 And yes—this is intentional. At this stage, demand is high. She’s not just building flowers, she’s maintaining a massive structure while doing it. The higher EC supports: – Sustained nutrient availability – Strong flower development – Continued metabolic activity at scale And the pH at 6.5 keeps nutrient uptake balanced in soil: – Phosphorus & potassium availability optimized – Micronutrients still accessible – No locking out key elements during peak demand Nothing extreme. Just aligned with what she’s asking for. ⸻ VPD — Leaf vs Room (Why 26°C / 60% Works Here) On paper, 26°C and 60% RH might look high for late flower. But here’s the nuance: – Room VPD is one thing – Leaf VPD is another With strong lighting and active transpiration, leaf temperature often runs slightly higher than ambient. That shifts the actual working VPD into a more optimal range than numbers alone suggest. So while the room reads: – 26°C – 60% RH The plant is effectively operating in a comfortable transpiration zone, not a risky one. This is why context matters more than charts. ⸻ About the “Delay” — Sativa Expression She’s a Haze. So yes—compared to others in the room, she appears “slower.” But let’s be clear: This isn’t delay. This is genetic pacing. And honestly? For a Haze under 12/12 from seed… She’s actually ahead of where you’d expect her to be. That early flowering trigger shortened the stretch window and pushed her into production sooner. Without it? She wouldn’t be 1.8m. She’d be… a problem 😄 ⸻ What We’re Seeing Now – Frost production accelerating noticeably – Buds forming along the entire height – Structure holding surprisingly well for her size – Aroma intensifying into that sharp, hazy profile She’s not finished. But she’s clearly committed. ⸻ What We’re Watching At this size and density, attention shifts to: – Airflow through the full vertical column – Moisture pockets deep in the structure – Any signs of late-stage stress under high EC – Light distribution across top vs lower sites This is where big plants test your environment. Mr. Baggy is on patrol 🕵️‍♂️ Especially in the middle zones. ⸻ What to Expect Next Week – Continued resin production spike – Buds beginning to tighten and gain weight – Aromas becoming heavier, more defined – Possible early signs of maturation in upper sites She’ll keep stretching a little… but the focus is shifting toward finishing energy. ⸻ Final Thought Some plants follow the room. Some plants define it. This one? She changed the space around her. ⸻ Gratitude To everyone walking this journey with us— The OGs. The new eyes. The loud ones. The quiet ones. The supporters and the skeptics. To the platform. To the community. To the genetics behind this powerhouse. To the partners walking with us. And to every grower learning to read plants instead of chasing numbers.

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.

This plant was a BEAST!! She loaded up on frost as much as one could want. She smells super pungent!! The weight of the buds are becoming too much for the branches. This plant was pure gold for a fast photoperiod!! 😎🌱

Eccoci qua ragazzi, le ultime 2 settimane prima del raccolto, spero che vi piaccia il risultato anche se putroppo ho avuto vari problemi e le cime sono rimaste piccole, ma vi posso assicurare che sono stra piene di resina e dure come sassi, anche a livello terpenico è qualcosa di eccezionale è dire poco! Ora sto per raccogliere, grazie a tutti voi che mi avete seguito e supportato, siete la mia più grande forza! Grazie a Mars hydro e ai nutrienti di Terra Aquatica per aver reso possibile tutto ciò! Vi adoro! Continuate a seguirmi e spero che vada tutto per il. Meglio! Un buon 420 a tutti voi 🙏💪😸🌱🌿😽💨❄️❄️❄️❤️

It smells cherry 🍒🍒🍒 !!! Incredible !!!!

The plants keep to continue to grow FANTASTICALLY with the BIO-TABs nutrients and fill out the tent quickly. I therefore decide it is time to defoliate the plants. I cut off all lower branches (lowest two to three internodes) and take the biggest fan-leaves off the plant. This ensures a better air circulation and better light penetration. The two SANlight EVO4-120 LED-lamps continue to be 75 cm above the plants and run on full-power (=not dimmed). The development of new buds each day is outstanding, all is going well.

The plant doing well. She have a good smell but it‘s not really intense yet. The flowers look healthy and it‘s already possible to see how she produce the purple berry colors in trichomes. I have an eye on nitrogen. This was too much and I‘m thinking about a flush, which already helped my first cannabis plant Tropicana. So Blackberry Kush is not ready yet. I think we‘ll end in the middle of July or later. I like to vape my cannabis cause I‘m a medical user. And for this it‘s good to have a fully ripe flower. I need to water in the mornings and late afternoons.

She is recovery after shock last defoliation

Hello. This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering. I'll be cutting this plant down around the end of Sept. So this week she'll get another feeding and then she'll get just water till the end, so she can use up the food in the pot. Man the Spiders are getting big around here this time of year. Feeding now on the large 1 1/2 inch moths. They fix their webs at dusk and by morning most have holes in their webs and some moth wing dust too. So I know they are feeding good and their webs are strong enough to stop a big moth in flight. Wow... Amazing!!! Was in the grow store looking for the altered frequency water that I use for powder mildew, they were out of it, so the clerk showed me this product and said great things about it. He said it will get rid of most pests and will get rid of mold and fungus. Sound like it's a product that the growers have been waiting for. The Safer Soap Insecticide Co. Owner sold his Co. and did research and came up with this product and started a new Co. The web site is in the pic... Check it out. Got for free a 240 bottle wine cooler with no cooling motor. So looking on you tube at the wine cooler dryers, I'll make my own. There's a video on You Tube that show you how to... and I'll follow that. A winter project when I have some spare time. I am going to put 3 thermoelectric motors in it to cool and a little dehumidifier for the moisture control. See the video. OK. Be Cool Chuck

Hectic week, started to find little mites . Ordered some predator mites to kill them I don't want to use spray during flower Realized I was overwatering, was traumatized from last nute burn First plant is looking like it's starting to turn light green- not happy about it. The buds are also very tiny on the first plant which is strange , vegged it way longer. Also waiting for the buds to hopefully connect and fatten up. Upped the nutrients to 840 ppm - hoping this will help fatten the buds up It says week 5 flower , but I do not consider the 1st week as flower as it is still in transition. I' Ordered 2nd vent fan- Temps and RH are very steady with minimal deviation Last soil grow for me, I have a clone in a hydro bucket dwc 2x4 tent and it grows substantially faster vs soil with no issues.

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making their way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying position all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 A little worried today her birth Twin the BA I am growing out is looking great and is raised towards the light and this one is just slightly under.. Will keep an eye on Her. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 Walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. Also looking at the roots and she has some poking out the bottom but just not in the water yet.. Luckily we are set for 14 days before next water change so the system will stay stable and her sister already has roots in the water so she should only be a day or two behind.. we will just keep tracking but she is delayed. Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Roots in the Water!!! Huston, we have a successful launch. This grow is on! Humidity was a little low this morning so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that the temp looks great, the PH looks good, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning from over filling the cloning machine seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started. Everything for growth and environment is looking good and on track, there are a couple of mutations with this Lady will keep an eye on those leaves. IMO this grow is going A lot during this week 1 then week 1 of the last grow when I had them drowning. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

The AK2.0 is rockin. She is flowering the strongest. She is near the light, because she is so tall., but it doesn't seem to affect her at all. Very good strain to grow no issues at all, just having some fun watching her bulk up quickly.

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. Although the seed description said 10 to 11 weeks, I going to cut these girls down at 10 weeks. I need the room to grow and flower some Mac and Crack that's already growing.. Getting close to harvest I'll start flushing, But I'll give them 1 more feeding and then nothing but water till the end. I get much better taste and the buds smoke better if I flush and get the chemicals out of the soil before harvest. Well, that's the end of the Freak Bros. book # 10... I think there are 3 or 4 more books left in that series. I'll show them in future diaries. My other diaries have the old underground comic book, Weirdo by Robert Crumb if you want to check them out to see. The buds are really getting solid now and some are getting heavy and heading for the floor. Good times... Getting some great smells now. Musk is the most common. But some, smell of Citrus with Musk under tones. The smell is overpowering my carbon filter. I can smell these plants out by the street if the wind is blowing that way. Pure Lemon Skunk smell by the street. Nice. Getting near the end of their lives now and there are more yellow leaves as the plants pull what they need from the big fan leaves before turning the leaves brown. Some plants have sticky resin and some have slippery resin. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

If only you can smell the buds and especially rub on this thing such a sharp berry smell mmmmmph. I got a clone of it! It's already looking done lol I should cross this with the slow veg strawberry sorbet i have. Fixed day. Flipped 5/15
