Hello guys! So it’s the end of week 2 of flowering and all is going well. Been watering every 2 days and, as you can see, we have white pistils and small buds in every plant Not much to say, the ladys are green, stretching and growing buds as it should Yesterday i’ve defoliated one of the critical + 2.0 clone and next week I’m going to defoliate the rest of the plants. Just wanted to test when it is better to do the defoliation so it’s kind of an experiment Tell me what do you think of how this is going

Beautiful flower full of trichomes. Smell and test fantastic. Very fast flowering. She was done on day 49 but I cut her down few days later. I love the strain, the only thing that I will like this strain to have is a better yield. Beast quality buds I ever grew.

On the home stretch of the flush. The berry smell is unrealistic. It smells like a fruity perfume in my room. I could hold this plant under a non-weed smokers nose and they'd have no idea. She's gettin her lean on too, a heavy girl.

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos, y tambiĆ©n, a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!šŸ–ļøšŸ‘Øā€šŸŒ¾ 17 semanas de vida de esta mĆ­tica sativa sudafricana y siete semanas desde el paso a horario de floración 12/12h. La grandullona del jardĆ­n os da la bienvenida, soberbia y orgullosa esta gran planta exhibe colas monstruosas que prometen cogollos inmensos que van a llegar a los 40cm de largo, todavĆ­a hay mucho juego por delante, la planta pide alimento, luz y calor constantemente, yo se lo doy porque estoy rendido a los encantos de esta cepa ponzoƱosa! La masa foliar se mantiene mientras la planta fagocita las hojas viejas y ocultas a la luz en un acto de auto defoliación y supervivencia, las hojas agotadas caen al sustrato para completar el ciclo de la vida en el bosque, de esta manera devuelven el resto de los minerales que usaron para crecer y finalmente esta materia orgĆ”nica sirve de comida a la microbiologĆ­a del sustrato para que vivan y trabajen con alegrĆ­a y energĆ­a, mientras, el consumo de agua es brutal, riego profundamente cada 3 dĆ­as... a jugar! Hasta la próxima... SALUDOS Y SALUD A TODOS!! ================================ Info de la cepa Durban Poison: https://www.marijuana-seeds.nl/durban-poison-seeds "Una planta sativa pura que nunca ha sido hibridada..."

We’re in the seventh week of flowering, and the plant is looking absolutely stunning! It’s starting to show beautiful purple colors in many places, all the way through the buds. The colors are really popping, and it’s giving the plant such a unique look. On top of that, it’s smelling incredibly sweet—strong and fragrant every time I open the tent! šŸ¬šŸŒæ Most of the trichomes are now a milky white, which is exactly where I hoped they’d be at this point. I’m sticking to the BioBizz week 7 bloom schedule, knowing it’s almost time for the flush. šŸŒ±šŸ’§ Everything is going so well, and I’m beyond excited to see how it turns out in the final stages. Just one more week before the flush, and then we’re almost there! 😁✨

Hi fellow growers, for this first week of flowering, everything went smoothly. She took the defoliation from last week well and kept growing strong. She took 8cm during this first week of 12/12, nothing crazy but I hope she is gonna take more this coming week, so that she has pretty long main branches by the end of stretching. I'm glad the smaller branches that occupy the middle grew well and full up this empty space. I'm tucking daily the fan leaves from the main branches to allow a maximum light to reach the branches from the middle. Last week I was wondering if I had gone too strong on the defoliation and then I read about this schwazzing technique, when one defoliates even more, basically removing most of the leaves, this on the day of switching to 12/12 and then doing this same heavy defoliation 20 days later. So be prepared, in two weeks I'm gonna apply the recommended second heavy defoliation and we'll see how that goes together. 😁 Humidity is around 70% at the moment, it's on the high side but I'm not too worried about it. For the nutrients, I'm still religiously following the biobizz schedule and so far, so good. I started this week to log everyday some basic data about the plant, like height, temperatures and humidity. I guess it would be nice to have a little graph at the end to see the evolution of the plant or whatever one wants to do with the data. I think it's good practice too. -- Stereoscopic pictures -- You might have wonder what the hell are those two pictures where seemingly the same picture is put two times. They actually are stereoscopic pictures or 3d pictures. It's using the same principle as 3d for movies or virtual reality and it tricks your brain into seeing in 3d. Basically each picture is the view from each of our eyes. I made those pictures so it allows to see them in 3d without glasses. Follow along with this little tutorial (The picture "stereoscopy 2" is easier. I find it as well easier on a computer as smartphones have a smaller screen): - Having the pictures in front of you around 30-40cm (15-20cm on smartphones) from your eyes, start crossing your eyes slowly. - Both pictures are gonna move toward the middle. The idea is to make both pictures superpose each other in in the middle. - Start to focus on the superposition in the middle and if necessary, adjust the distance between your eyes and the screen. - Once it's in focus, you will instantly notice it and see my weed in crystal clear 3d! You can then move your eyes in the picture and enjoy it. - With a bit of practice, it becomes quite easy to focus (1-2s only) Even the NASA does it! https://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/crosseyed.shtml Let me know in the comments if you managed it and if you find it cool or not! šŸ˜‰ Take care everyone and see you next week!

Woche 3 Die Ladys haben einen ordentlichen Schub gemacht. An Tag 20 sind an den Nodien die ersten Calyxen und ihre Stempel zu erkennen. Deshalb wurde an Tag 20 der letzten Liter Substrat in die Töpfe gegeben. Als Blütedünger wurde jeweils 30g BioBloom von GreenHouseFeeding untergemischt. Als Bodenverbesserung gab es 12 Teelöffel Megaworm und als Blütebooster wurden 2 gehäufte Teelöffel BatGuano von Plagron mit eingemischt. ______________________________ Düngen/Gießen Tag 18 gab es jeweils 500ml Wasser. Ph-Wert 6.0. Tag 20 gab es jeweils 800ml. Ph-Wert 6.2 Höhe #1 28cm #2 26cm Zu meinem bedauern hat leider ein Growdiaries-bug Woche2 gefressen.

Plants are looking awesome. Skullcap is extremely frosty, the whole tent reeks and no hiccups. I've noticed that the (14) pineapple express #2 seems to be less dense of a bud cola, its looking like the (15) Pineapple express #2 is the better version. If it doesn't tighten up this one's out of the running. I already got rid of the skullcap mom, great quality, but not the quantity I wanted to see.

Apollo is in early flower. I water and fertilize Tuesday, Thursday and water on Saturday or Sunday. Even though the plants started within 2 weeks of each other, Apollo is in flower now. The Vpd for veg is much higher than for flower. So on 10/17, I moved the Friends ( Zkittles, Godzilla Cookies and GrandDaddy Purple) to my 3x3. Stress training done on friends: Zkittles -tie down GDP -topped Gorilla cookies no stress training as this plant is the runt of the friends. Pics of Apollo's friends before moving tents.

🌱 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. āø» 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. āø» 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. āø» 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 āø» 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 āš ļø 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. āø» 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. āø» 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. āø» 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. āø» Community Note Due to YouTube community guidelines, our educational channel was taken down.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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. šŸ’š Growers love to all šŸ’š šŸ“ø 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.

Everything was great. In the beginning she looked a bild small but then she really packed on from top to bottom! The best yield and the lowest cost per gram I have gotten so far. We had great weather and she got a lot of direct sunshine. I think that helped a lot. The bag seed was removed in week 4/5. It was either a male or hermed. Total Runtime: 92 days -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set up cost (fixed costs) -Lamp: 40€ -Timer: 3,5€ -Pot: 4€ -Total fixed costs: 47,5€ Given 5 years (or 15 grows) usage time translates to around 3,17€ per grow in materials. Variable costs: -Seeds: 3,65€ -Soil: 6€ -Fertilizer: 3,50€ -Power: 21,43€ -Total variable costs: 34,58€ -Total costs per grow: 37,75€ -Cost per gram: 0,76€/g
