Week 13 from Seed | Ghost Train Haze (12/12 From Seed) The Queen of the Room Week 13 from seed marks a special point in this run, and for this update the spotlight belongs to one plant in particular — the undeniable queen of the room. This Ghost Train Haze has been the outlier from the beginning. Same treatment, same schedule, same root space, same 12/12-from-seed approach as the rest of the room — but she chose her own direction early and never looked back. No veg, no special treatment, no extra time. Just pure expression. And she expressed big. At nearly 1.8 meters tall, she became the tallest plant in the room by a comfortable margin, stretching far beyond her sisters and building into a true vertical queen. Her main cola is massive, dominant, and impossible to ignore, but what makes her impressive is that the rest of the plant actually kept pace. This isn’t just one oversized top and a weak frame underneath — the entire structure followed through beautifully, with strong secondary flower sites and consistent development all the way down. She’s tall. She’s heavy. And she earned every yo-yo holding her up. At this point, support is no longer optional. The main cola carries serious weight, but so do the side branches, and by now most of the plant is being assisted to keep everything upright and stable. Late flower is no longer about shaping — it’s about holding the frame together long enough to finish properly. And she’s finishing beautifully. The flower set is now fully mature, with long, dense spears stacking hard and resin production spreading well beyond the tops. Frost coverage is exceptional this week, and the plant has clearly shifted out of “building” and into “ripening.” Calyxes are swelling, resin heads are multiplying, and the entire plant is beginning to wear that late-flower look that tells you the end is close. Not finished. But clearly approaching it. One of the clearest signs is in the fade. The yellow and orange tones now starting to move through the fan leaves are exactly what we want to see at this stage. With nutrients pulled back and only enzymes remaining in the water, the plant is now doing what late flower plants are supposed to do: consuming what remains, mobilizing stored energy, and redirecting everything toward the flowers. This is not deficiency. This is senescence. A controlled, expected end-of-cycle fade. The enzymes are helping break down residual material in the substrate, keeping the root zone active and clean while the plant finishes using what it already has available. The color shift in the leaves is the visual confirmation of that transition — less energy going into maintaining foliage, more energy going into finishing flower. And she’s responding exactly as hoped. This week also carried a fitting bit of atmosphere: the Red Moon. A small visual moment, but a very appropriate one. The timing lined up perfectly with where the room is now — because the room itself has begun to turn red too. At this stage, spectrum is being pushed more heavily toward red than white. The room is no longer being driven for broad vegetative energy or aggressive structural development. Now the goal is simpler: guide the final stage, support ripening, and let the plants finish under a warmer, more flower-forward spectrum. That shift is visible immediately in the room. The red dominance is stronger now, the whites are less prominent, and the overall environment has taken on that unmistakable late-cycle tone. Alongside that, the end-of-day far-red treatment remains in place — roughly 15 minutes after lights-off — used here as part of the final flowering approach to gently support the plant through the transition into night and help reinforce that end-of-cycle signal. Nothing extreme. Just small spectral nudges in the right direction. And the room is responding fast. She is still drinking well, though intake has begun to slow slightly — which is expected now. Uptake remains strong enough to show she is still active, still moving, still finishing with intent, but the pace is beginning to taper as she shifts closer to the line. That makes this week less about intervention and more about observation. Right now, trichomes are the real clock. This is the stage where structure, density, and visual appeal matter less than resin maturity. Frost levels are already excellent, but the harvest window will be decided by the heads, not the shine. For this run, the target remains the same: mostly cloudy trichomes, a light touch of amber, and still a few clear heads remaining. That balance still isn’t fully here yet. She is moving fast, but not finished fast. The room is alive, the room is accelerating, and she is clearly entering the final phase — but the resin still needs a little more time to land exactly where we want it. Elsewhere in the room, this week also brought the arrival of the Bubbleator — a welcome addition, and one that will soon have its role to play. Not for this queen, but for one (or maybe two) of her sisters headed toward ice water and a different kind of finish. That part comes next, and it’ll be shared properly when the time comes. For now, all eyes stay here. What to expect next week: more swelling, more fade, heavier terp expression, slightly slower drinking, and trichomes becoming the only metric that really matters. What not to expect: major changes, last-minute corrections, or unnecessary interference. At this stage, the work is mostly done. Now it’s about patience, timing, and letting the plant complete what she already started. As always — love to everyone following along. The longtime growers, the new eyes, the curious, the skeptics, the quiet supporters, the quick stoppers, the day-ones, the lurkers, the lovers, and even the haters. And love as well to the genetics, the nutrients, the tools, the gear, and the people behind them. If you’ve spent even a moment of your energy here, thank you for sharing it.

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.

Tag 39: Die Pflanze hat ihren stretch beendet und geht in die

Week 2 of flower roughly and all plants have begun the shift to cotton balls. Except for the males of course but, they’re grown som hefty sacks also😉. As it turns out we have 3 males, not 2. That might present an option to harvest pollen off one of em to actually save for future use. We’ll see how it goes. Other than that - all plants are performing generally well. Certainly we’ll enough to make some seed babies so let’s get to it. I figure nuts start bust’n in about 2 weeks or so yall! Giddy up and slap dat ass - we gotta make ourselves some bit ‘o awesome😎. Background Fingers crossed that these Spicy Bitch regs provide at least one male so that we can back build some stock of it. In the event that does take place we’ve got a single clone of each strain from the previous pollen chuck to sit in the tent with them so they can make babies for the next few months. The whole point of the last year was to start making some foundational genetics for a third generational cross we could call our own. If you’ve been following along than you’ll know that it’s been anything but easy. Our previous pollen picks didn’t pan out at all so we’re back to the drawing board with a new option from ExoticSeeds. This’ll be a 10 plant run with 5 regs and 6 strains for pollination including the strain itself. We’re running in a 2x4 MarsHydro grow tent all powered by a Mars Sp6500. That’s a little more than 600w packed into half the recommended footprint😳. Why? you ask - because we like our buds big and overcompensatory😂. Really, I’m just of the mind that we can pack more light into this space than recommended and get much better results. The math doesn’t lie. At least not as long as I wasn’t high when using the calculator again….. Many thanks to @MarsHydroLED for the opportunity to test run the equipment👊. In addition, we’ve also moved to a new nutrient system - Druid Nutrients out of the Netherlands. They don’t really have a presence on GD yet but you’ll be hearing about them very soon I’m sure. The beauty of this system is that it’s literally a 1 (one) component system for the entirety of the plants grow cycle. It really has changed the game in terms of ease of feeding and maintenance. It’s also very versatile and seems to provide everything needed across multiple different strains in the same ratios. Keep your eyes peeled for these folks. Pretty much a guarantee that they absolutely blow up once more people know about them👍👌😎. Strain Background Spicy Bitch: predominantly sativa, heavy yielder with a daytime kinda trip profile. It’s a cross of Queen Mother and a Pre-2000 AK47. We’ll pull what pollen we can and hope to have a female run out a larger supply of seed for the future. Many thanks to @Exoticseeds for the chance to give these beans a go👍👊. Pollination Strains: Holy Surfer S1 - this is one of the focal points for this cycle. A fellow growmie was kind enough to ship over some S1 genetics I took an interest in. The only ask back was that if I did cross it to send a few his way for testing👍. Shoutout and cheers to @blendmedmedman. Hoping to have something back to ya in short order. For full details on this alluring hybrid option check my buddies link at seedfinder - https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Holy_Surfer/Smiling_Tiger/ Northern Lights - this came from a particularly interesting batch of seeds that have shown a very dependable variegation trait. It’s a compact and squat plant requiring very little maintenance. Typical for the strain really. It’s been chosen as an option to potentially mellow out the high , shorten the stature of the resulting hybrid and inject it with some of that mellow indica effect. Boogie Nights - total shot in the dark. Still haven’t even tried the strain myself yet but it was available at the right time and interesting enough to make a salad with. Big thanks to AMS who’ve been nothing short of an excellent seedbank to collaborate with. Expect similar growth characteristics to that of the Northern Lights. Better resilience however. Blueberry - this particular clone is from extremely strong stock. Spliff seeds broke the mold with this strain. She’s lower maintenance than the NL, more resilient than anything else we’ve got on the menu and the terp. Profile on this girl is out of this world. If we can bring any of these qualities to the cross, then it could be magic👌. White Widow - garrghh, I just can’t get away from this particular plant. Again, still haven’t even tested the buds yet and all I can say is that the growth characteristics are extremely vigorous and desirable. This plant is one of 3 unicorns that I have yet to tame due to a combo of extremely bad luck and circumstance. All told, it’s still the same story: a VERY experimental breeding project designed to shotgun a broad swath of genetics against a reliable and dependable Breeder who’s put out proven fire 🔥🤟😎👍.

Hi guys So entering week 11 now on this grow sherbert mimosa still have another 4 weeks I rekon and the last gelato cake is ready for the chop when I get 5 mins. Colours are popping and the frost keeps coming. The blue cheese and dark phoenix are growing fast and have a plan for these on there own diary so keep looking. Happy growing guys

Week 8 – The Lemon OGs keep packing on the weight 🍋🔥 Another week down and these ladies are just getting chunkier and chunkier. Buds are swelling nicely, pistils are still mostly bright, and the frost is spreading like powdered sugar on everything. Trichomes are stacking, smell is turning into that sweet citrus haze punch that makes you wanna just stand there and breathe it in. Feed for the week was simple and on point – keeping them happy without overcomplicating things. I’m pushing them a bit before my upcoming vacation, making sure they’ve got everything they need to finish strong while I’m gone. Lights are still blasting 480W full power from the two KingBrite P55s, and they’re soaking it all up without complaint. Temps max out around 28°C, humidity is steady, and the canopy is looking even. A few lower leaves are fading, which is perfect for this stage. Some branches already needed a bit of support – fat cola problems, amigos 😎👌🏼 If they keep going like this, we’re looking at some heavy jars after chop. But for now, it’s all about letting them do their thing. 🌿💚 OnlyBuds

Day 28 flowering: Another enjoyable week using this little ray of sunshine.. The 2 plants under it are thriving and showing perfect health. The coverage is plenty enough for both plants in their 30L pots and at a height of approx 18 inches above them both, has enough depth penetration to reach the lower growth developing. The Northern lights has some nice stacking colas forming which will hopefully end with a stout but bud heavy girl. Her golf ball tops are a good sign for the 3rd week flowering too. She has plenty of mains to help this happen I think. My Grandaddys Mimosa is also doing brilliant now and has so much growth on her to build nice buds onto. She looks a little more productive than the Northern light too so should be an interesting race. The others moved out of the lights canopy are all going well too. Looking forward to the Gorilla cookies too. All in all another great weeks performance from the Xs1500. Onward and upward growmies Be well .

Just wow on this body shapes, oils on the spiral buds

Las plantas se ven bien, hice una pequeña defoliacion para sacar las hojas grandes que hacian sombra directamente sobre otras ramas. Ademas quite algunas de abajo que me complicaban un poco a la hora de regar.

Chopped down the last 2 plants on day 92! Last week really brought out some nice purple colors. First 2 plants are already harvested dried and jarred,.took about 10 days. I assume these will be done in 10 days as well, when I'll post the harvest log. D89 4L

23/07 - Special queen #1 is now officially in flower! Super excited to see the growth the next few weeks. This strain may become 2.5x taller than its current height. I will water both of them with 1-1.5L of water w flowering nutes. They are drying up quick. A few yellowing tips but not getting worse. 24/07 - watered both plants with 1L with 0.5ml biogrow, 1ml biobloom and 1ml topmax. They are at the same height of the scrog net. In a few days I will be ticking them and covering the whole space. 28/07 - Watered both with 1L of just water at ph 6.5. They were slightly droopy as I was away for a few days but they are already perking back up. Hope you have a great day! Peace

All plants potted up 1 -4 are all little bit different. Got 2 extras just in case.. Plants #1,#2,#4 are somewhat similar but different #1is nice healthy green, sharply serrated fat round yet pointed leaves tight internodal spacing. #2 is similar yet has magenta color in veins, but still healthy green leaves,and much tighter than #1s internodal spacing. #3 is similar yet less serrated edge softer look. #4 is similar yet less serrated edge softer look, more magenta color in veins and paler green. All are in same potting mix and environment is also same 01/14/2018 New observations on #1 and#2, both are at 4th mode #1 has 5 fingered leaves, #2 has 7fingered leaves.

seem to be doing well

😅😅Girls were developed by different methods one were topped when she has only two nodes (third I topped), second was only LSTed. They were transplanted once from 10L bag to 20L bags. Topped roots developed much better then untouched had. Topped growed for about 71 day, and untouched 72. Wife noticed mold on few colas, I cutted them and cut out the affected areas. Bushes were Ripenning for about 12 days, Unfortunately I didn't flushed them at all. So topped girl was putted to hermetic container and placed in freezing camera exactly from cutting. Secon one I putted to growbox under the out fan. I bought vacuum pump and jars, and dry topped by quick freezing method. And untouched was dryed by usual way. After all results are: Wet weight: Topped: 450g buds&stems; Untouched: 380g buds&stems. Dry weight: Untouched: 80g buds, 10g stems; Topped: 110g buds, 13g stems. This is my firs grow, I think its great result. The common mistakes are: uncontrolled environment ph, humidity, and that I stopped plant growing height with early low distance to the lamp. Thanks Bulks for great genetics .: 1: Awesome strain, Great, really easy to grow, I think if I had fan I could easily avoid mold. But I haven't =))) High is awesome energetic uplifting, I wanna go to training or begin to cleaning in my house. Good luck. May the Force be with You.00
