It's been 78 days since sprout, the plants are all still coming along nicely, getting heavier by the day even though it doesn't always seem like it. I always have difficulty realizing how much growth happens in a week. I felt like they hadn't bulked up much but then I looked back at my last update and clearly was wrong. I am trying to figure out how much time before harvest, but I am still leaning toward closer to 100 days. The plants are still being fed crop salt at the ratios posted a few weeks ago, currently I plan to do one more res change with full strength nutes and then after that two weeks of their Cake finishing nutrients (https://cropsalt.com/products/cake) which would put me a few days past 100 days with a harvest date of July 18th or 19th. This past week I also set up a Home Assistant dashboard to monitor the tent and added a camera as well. Kind of a bit late for this grow but it will be awesome for the next time around. Aside from the sensor in the tent, I have also purchased a wireless battery-powered temp and humidity sensor that will be going in the 5-gallon bucket I am going to use to cure. Here is a guide I made if anyone is interested in setting something similar up. https://gist.github.com/Jamal-J-Jackson/f47baa9e5a9f9534affa543583022abf#file-home-assistant-guide-md

Week 4 showing sex 😊

This one may be over but theres more going on right now! Check out my other grows to see what I'm up too.😉

-Strain: STRAWBERRY NUGGETS by Mephisto -Tent: 5x5 Gorilla Grow Tent -Lights: Budget LED Grow Lights 2 x 250 Watt LED Full Spec/Red Spec mixed boards -Light Cycle: 18/6 -Soil: Fox Farm -Air Circulation: AC Infinity Cloudline T6 Inline Duct Fan WECLOME BACK GROWMIES! Week 12 here with our STRAWBERRY NUGGETS by Mephisto February, 09, 2020 (DAY 78) - YOO GROWMIES! Welcome to week 12 of our STRAWBERRY NUGGETS! she is thickening out and stacking up! frosting like crazy and turning purple on the nugs she is absoloutly gorgeous. February 12, 2020 (DAY 81) - WHAT UPPPPP!!!! here we are folks another update. i honestly dont even know if she is almost ready or not, buds arent really fattening anymore lol, trics are all super milky. i think she is getting flushed starting this weekend. this will be the last feed then its onto that FLAWLESS FINISH by ADVANCED NUTRIENTS. hopefully im making the right choice......maybe another week wouldnt hurt....

The transition is officially happening—the plant has now fully entered the flowering phase!🌱 The stretch is kicking in, and it’s growing rapidly, really taking off this week. It looks incredibly healthy, with vibrant green leaves and strong development. Thanks to the LST, it has spread out beautifully, allowing for even light distribution and great bud site exposure. I’m really happy with how things are progressing and excited to see how the buds start forming in the coming weeks! This one is looking very promising.💪😎

Day 32 ...This girl was too big for her 3gal container so I bought 40 Litre rubber totes to use! Drilled holes around the container and tied a ton of branches to the sides of the container with pipe cleaners. Plant was about 3 inches tall tied down and a 16 inch canopy. Follow as I veg this beast for another 30 days!

I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Have fun with the update. Flowering day 2 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey everyone :-). Yesterday it was put into bloom and can now develop beautifully 👍😃. In the next few days I will remove the bottom shoots and add 2 g GHSC Powder Feeding Bio Bloom per l cocos. Of course, cuttings were cut into the flower before moving 👍. I wish you a lot of fun with the update.

Day 94, 5th of November 2020: Nice strain no really strong smell haha good to grow more safely :) This situation is crazy never happneed to me. It is only the 5th week of flowering and she looks ready to be harvested.... WTF.... I immediately stop fertilization.... I checked the trichomes and it is interesting. I see ambers and I see milky ones but also translucent ones.... I have an idea what happened. She had gotten aot of darkness I mean she did not get always the standard 12/12 she qas once 3 days in darkness before owering that's ok.... After I left her one day in darkness once.... And what I think is when I went on holiday my friend looked after her so she was with different strains and needed to remove out of the tent manually so he went to work early and back late so she spent 14 hours darkness but stilll.... I have no idea ;)

Happy New Year Growmies! Wishing everyone good health and lots of stinky buds 😄💨🥂 Flower week 3 and the girls are behaving nicely. After the heavy training they “only” stretched about 15 cm, so we’re sitting around 95 cm (37,5 inch)now. They look amazing though, super healthy and everything seems nicely dialed in. With the drier weather outside the VPD is perfect, and I’ve found the sweet spot for the extra additives on top of the base feed. EC is around 1.6. On feed days I slightly reduce calcium to make room for Bud Candy and Bud Factor X, giving them a bit of extra magnesium and carbs during this important stage. The missing calcium is then made up on the second watering, which would normally be just plain water.💦🧑‍🌾 We’re also seeing pistils stacking into real budlets now, getting denser and chunkier, and there’s a noticeable increase in smell and stickiness as trichome production really starts to kick in. The light is set to 80% intensity and positioned approximately 40 cm above the canopy. Have a lovely weekend to everyone! Peace✌️

Die Blätter zeigen kleinere Probleme, aber ansonsten hat sie das umtopfen gut überstanden! Die Triebe sind oben sehr lila. Spraymix alle 2 Tage.

.

I started to rinse the plants with Ph 6.5 water. Per plant 4.5 litres.

one more week up we go, and after intruducing the AC to the Girls, and rase some of them up closer to the ligth ( i did this because the most of my SG are 3 phingers from the ligth lol, so bringing the ligth down was not an option )now i realize that the BB and the AP are showing some spots on the older leaves with i think it migth be nutrients problem, so i'm intruducing Calmag Agent and see how they react. Appart from that they all look amazing, the smell is starting to show off in all of them, it's like a rainbow of fruity smels with a sweet taste going from one strein to another, so far the one i think is the winer in tha smel factor is the PG, man, she's becoming and amazing white frosty smly litle plant <3 the same is happening to all of her siters in my litle love garden. So let's see how the wee goes, i'l try and keep it updated the most i can, Stay safe Peace out D So day 31 F and i intruduce Calmag and lower EC to 1.8 , now let's seeee :)

Here we goooo! Etsy seeds here we come. So far have been happy with them.

Some top defoliation as needed because of high humidity. She is growing very wide now she has a bit more space, very bushy as previous grows on soil. Also she drank a lot this week, had to fill the pot almost twice. Another interesting thing from my soil grows with this strain was that she had some yellowing in the second week of flower, now on DWC no signs of deficiency at all. Going well let's get fat next week

July 12th. 49 days post flip. Whatever my plant has been experiencing seems to be getting worse. I can’t see it having a deficiency with everything I’ve been giving it so I’ve just been giving it water. I suspect it’s lockout, or it could even potentially be light burn. At this point I have about two weeks left so going to continue giving it water. I also dialed the lights back from 80% down to 60% to see if it helps at all because the leaves on this thing have been susceptible to light burn from the very start. I will say I think it was a little underwatered this week as when I went to give it tea the leaves were a little turbid. So I might be dealing with a multifaceted issue Regardless the buds themselves continue to fatten, not as large as I would have hoped but we have so many tops I’m not concerned. Still have two more weeks to go for this thing to pack on some weight I will be getting my soil tested at a local university and posting the results here soon. I just ordered the kit. Aside from all this the plants smells amazing and trichome density looks good. I’m super excited for this crop. God bless!

Ghost Train Haze · Week 12 From Seed Catching The Ghost Train Haze @ Zamnesia 👻 Week 12 from seed, and this one is still all momentum. While the room as a whole is beginning to slow, this plant still carries forward motion — not in stretch, not in structure, but in sheer flower mass. The frame is already built. The architecture is done. What remains now is density, resin, and finish. And in true Ghost Train fashion, she is doing all of it at full scale. This is not a subtle plant. Not in height. Not in width. Not in flower. Not in presence. She has become one of those plants that changes the feel of the room just by standing in it. ⸻ From Seed to Here From the beginning, this one showed a very different kind of energy. Where some plants stayed compact and conservative, Ghost Train Haze never really asked for permission. She moved with intent early, built fast, stacked hard, and never gave much reason to doubt what she wanted to become. This was never a small-frame cultivar. Even early on, the message was clear: longer frame, stronger reach, larger vertical push, heavier terminal expression. She wanted space. She wanted support. She wanted structure. And she got all three. LST helped guide the shape, but the real work here was not controlling her — it was supporting her. Because once she committed to flower, this became less about training and more about load management. That is where we are now. The structure is built. The weight is here. And now the room is no longer shaping her. It is holding her up. ⸻ Week 12 — Same Room, Same Rules Even an outlier still finishes inside the ecosystem. And that matters here. Ghost Train may still have more runway left than some of the others in the room, but she does not flower in isolation. She flowers inside a shared environment, shared rhythm, and shared finish window. That means she moves with the room. So while she may still have another two weeks — maybe three — of true finish left in her, she is now on the same simplified path as the rest of the garden: less input, less push, less bottle, more observation. Which means this week she also moves into water-only irrigation with Pure Zym staying in rotation. Not because she is finished. Because the room is. And now we get to watch how far the biology carries her from here. ⸻ Why Pure Zym Still Stays This is where late flower becomes more interesting than people think. Yes, the nutrient stack is stripped back. Yes, the EC is down. Yes, the pH has drifted higher and we are no longer forcing correction. That is not neglect. That is transition. At this stage, we are no longer trying to push aggressive uptake through bottled input. We are leaning on what the medium still holds and what the biology is still able to process. And in a living medium, that matters. Pure Zym stays because even when the feed is reduced, the soil is still active. Root turnover is still happening. Organic matter is still breaking down. Microbial life is still cycling what remains in the pot. The plant may be receiving less from the bottle, but it is not receiving nothing. It is still being fed by the medium. Still being supported by microbial activity. Still pulling from what is already present. And for a plant this large, late-flower access matters more than late-flower force. We are not trying to make her bigger now. We are trying to help her finish clean. ⸻ The Plant Right Now Massive. That is the only honest place to begin. This is one of those plants that stops looking like a “large auto” and starts looking like a full structural problem. The main cola is no longer just oversized. It is arm-thick. Baseball-bat territory. A true terminal flower with enough mass that support is no longer optional. And the support tells the story as clearly as the flowers do. This is not one yo-yo on one top. This is multiple yo-yos across the plant because this is no longer about holding a cola upright — it is about distributing load across a living structure carrying more than it was ever meant to hold alone. That is always a good sign. When support becomes structural, the plant has done its job. And she has. Top to bottom, this plant is carrying serious weight. The primary colas are dense, heavy, and fully formed. The secondary sites are not filler. Even the lower flowers — the ones that often end up loose, airy, or forgettable on lesser runs — are dense, firm, and fully worth keeping. No fluff. No waste. No real popcorn to speak of. Just smaller flowers with the same intent. That is the mark of a properly loaded plant. ⸻ Resin, Density & Finish And now she is frosting properly. The structure was always there. Now the resin is catching up to the weight. Trichome production is climbing harder this week, and it shows across the full flower surface — not just on sugar leaf edges, but across the bracts themselves, where it matters most. The frost is no longer isolated. It is spreading. And that changes the whole look of the plant. The flowers are tightening. The resin is thickening. The surfaces are becoming brighter, stickier, and more defined. And underneath that frost is the part that matters most: density. This plant is not just large. She is solid. Not visually dense. Physically dense. Firm flowers. Hard lowers. Heavy tops. No softness anywhere. That is the kind of late flower you want to see. ⸻ Conditions & Late Flower Response Room conditions remain stable and in line with the rest of the garden. Temperature remains unchanged from the previous week. Humidity remains steady. The environment stays consistent because the room is still reading correctly at leaf level. What has changed is the input. EC is down. The feed is simplified. The pH has drifted higher and is no longer being forced into correction. And that is fine. At this stage, the room is no longer being steered through numbers alone. It is being steered through response. Leaf posture. Water demand. Flower tension. Resin development. Overall plant rhythm. And the response remains strong. So the room stays steady. ⸻ What to Expect Next Now we watch how far she wants to carry herself. Over the next stretch, expect: * continued resin push * stronger aroma development * slower but heavier calyx swelling * more visible trichome maturity * reduced water demand * increased support demand * deeper finish expression across the flower surface What not to expect: * much more stretch * explosive new vertical growth * dramatic structural change * a fast finish just because the room is slowing She may still have another week. She may still have three. That depends entirely on how well the root zone and stored energy carry her through the final phase. And that is exactly what makes this stage worth watching. Now we find out how much of the finish was in the bottle — and how much was already in the plant. ⸻ Gratitude A plant like this is never the work of one hand alone. Respect to Zamnesia for the genetics. Respect to Plagron for supporting the root zone to the finish. Respect to the LEDs for driving the room start to end. Respect to the gear holding the weight when the branches no longer can. Respect to the platform for letting growers document the process honestly. Respect to everyone following, supporting, questioning, learning, sharing, and watching. To the day ones. To the growers. To the curious. To the skeptics. To the old heads. To the new eyes. To the ones here for the data. To the ones here for the beauty. To the ones still learning how to read a plant. And to the ones who already can.

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.

Day 56: Like I said in the 2 weeks before this one, I was on vacation and a friend took care of my plants. This is the last week he helped out, I will be taking care of them again in the upcomming week. Well what can I say about this week; - Weather/climate was still bad. Lots of rain and cold temps. - They kind of failed with Low stress training, they went up and stretched without proper bending. - One plant has already mature looking buds but still on the small size. Two/three of them are going well and one is falling behind flowering wise. - They look nicely green tought. Until next week.

White Widow – Week 5 | First Signs of Pre-Flower 🌸✨ Light Schedule: 11/13 from seed Room Temp: ~30.7°C Humidity: 57–60% VPD: ~1.89 kPa Water pH: 6.0–6.1 EC: 0.6 Watering Method: Hand watering ⸻ The Story So Far This queen has a story worth telling. We started with multiple White Widow seeds, but due to an uneven heat mat (lesson learned!), only one seed survived, this very plant. She’s been with us from germination, through her careful transplant into a prepared super soil boosted with Aptus Micro-Mix, Mycor-Mix, and substrate buffer powder. From the start, she’s been under an 11/13 light shuttle, and while I expected earlier flowering, she surprised me, holding back, stacking nodes, and keeping compact. This week, in her fifth week, she finally shows her first clear pre-flower signs. ⸻ Her Look Right Now She’s not tall, but she’s perfectly built, beautiful leaf structure, tight internodes, and starting to branch nicely. The leaves are a deep, healthy green and carry the classic White Widow vigor. I took her out for a studio photo session this week, capturing top shots, side views, and close-ups of her perfect symmetry. ⸻ Feeding Update Up to now, she’s had: • Aptus Regulator • Aptus CalMag Boost • Aptus All-in-One Liquid • Aptus Start Booster Now that she’s entering pre-flower, I’ve removed Start Booster and added Top Booster to support the transition. Current mix: • Regulator • CalMag Boost • Top Booster EC sits around 0.6, pH about 6.0–6.1. Even though she’s in rich super soil, this light feeding supports her until the full soil biology kicks into gear. ⸻ Conditions Yes, temps are a bit on the high side at 30.7°C with 57–60% RH, giving a VPD of ~1.89 kPa. Not ideal, but she’s handling it well, no signs of stress. Hand watering continues, and I might keep it that way for the full run to maintain control and intimacy with the plant. ⸻ What to Expect Next Now that she’s showing pre-flowers, I expect a slow but steady transition. Being in 11/13 from seed, she might flower more compactly, with denser bud sites rather than stretching heavily. This phase will be key to see how White Widow expresses under this unconventional light cycle. ⸻ Gratitude & Shoutouts 🙏 Huge thanks to those making this journey possible: 🌱 Zamnesia Seeds – for preserving and sharing this legend of the 90s 💧 Aptus Holland – for the precise, high-quality nutrients keeping her thriving 💡 ThinkGrow – for the perfectly balanced LED bars delivering even canopy light 🚀 Future of Grow – for the powerful Black Series 600W 🧠 TrolMaster – for environmental precision across the grow ⸻ 📸 Check the gallery for close-ups, overhead shots, and a short video tour of this beautiful survivor. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.
