🌱 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. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude — Always To everyone following this journey: • The day-one supporters • The silent watchers • The ones who comment • The skeptics • The OGs • The new growers • The platform • The community • The sponsors • The genetics • The tools • The lessons And even the challenges… Everything plays a role.

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. 💚 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.

Vamos familia actualizamos la cosecha de las gelato Olandese de Dutchfem . La verdad que el secado muy bien 7 días en Malla y a los botes, 40% humedad y 24 grados es la temperatura ambiental que han tenido en el secado. Por lo demás de miedo os la recomiendo. Gracias a DutchFem, Agrobeta y Mars hydro , sin ellos este proyecto no sería igual 🙏.

They be stretching! Did a major defoliation this week and standard water change - pushing nutrients again!

Beautiful spot on finish. Fade is going on beautifully This Mokum’s Tulip specimen I managed to save in reveg project is a true gem. Gelato x sherbert go in tandem to create a creamy thin mint taste with hint of lemon zest. It’s astonishing.

Week 9

Really nice plant. It remained small!!! A lot of stinky very well THC coated buds. It likes water, and strong strain I had tried before and the effects are awesome. Relaxing body parts arms and legs get heavy it is like more medical. I will be back with the effects after one week. It has to be dried and I need to start curing it. Lovely strain. Update: really nice smoke guys. Strong and yeah makes you high, relaxed, medical effect. Strong indica.

Week 6 update: What up Grow family. These testers are growing fast and strong. Where in week 6 now and the swelling and ripening of flowers are going amazing. Still feeding 500ml/16oz daily as I've found that's the sweet spot for 3gal fabric pots for these. I'd say these probably have about 2 weeks left until they'll be finished. All in all Happy Growing.

Fade has fully set in now, just keeping an eye on the trichromes for harvest time. Plants are nice and frosty and smells very sweet. Was getting worried about harvest time and drying / curing as I go away for 2 weeks November 6th. Invested in some Grove bags for the cure so this has reduced my anxiety about leaving my harvest for so long during the beginning of cure. Heard good things about them, interested in your opinion drop a comment.

Another two weeks down, and the tent’s definitely alive and kicking. Some branches started leaning over, so I tied up the colas before things got out of hand. I pulled CalMag for a bit, thinking it was leaving residue in the reservoir — but turns out the real culprit is probably the Connoisseur Coco base. Kinda sad, because I really like these nutes, but looks like they’re not the best match for hydro-style Autopots. They leave sediment. Time to move on. I added a 25-micron filter to the circulation pump, and that helped quite a bit — though it’s still not perfect. Next grow will be with CANNA Coco — hoping for a cleaner run. Lemon Orange already looks like it's getting flushed, even though I haven’t started yet. Gonna give it two more weeks and then probably chop. King’s Juice? That thing exploded — totally outgrew the scrog because I didn’t bend it in time. Bit of a jungle now, but I’m rolling with it. Oh — and they’re drinking like crazy: 2 liters a day from the res, easy.

Bella tosta da tirare giù....non vedo l'ora di vedere i frutti 🍻

I really enjoy growing these plants. They change every day. The 2 bigger onee start to have purple all over the leafs. The tallest is craaaaazy frosty. When I open the growbox there comes a smell like a punch in my face. They smell very strong and they smell amazing. 3 different phenos, 3 different smells and structures. It is like growing 3 different strains but all 3 of them seem to be special. I hope the grow finishes as well as it went till today.🙏🌴🍪 🌴🍪🌲🍊⛽️🔥

OH. MY. GOD. Smells like chocolate, berries, and skunk. I cannot stress the absolute crazy terpene profile on these man. I am STOKED for harvest in about 4 weeks. A very long growing strain but worth the wait! Bought some rock resinator and starting next week will be using it for a couple weeks before flush and harvest!

She is short and compact.tight internodal spacing.large fan leaves. Typical indica looking plant. Cut of 2 big fan leaves and kept lst as much as possible to open her and create more colas.

Original sensible seeds Girl Scout Cookies Organically Grown 23rd Feb 2020 This lovely lady smells Fantastic!! I have to brush past her to get to the other end of the Greenhouse and every time I do she lets off her scent. I can only descibe it as a mix of Dankness and a Sweetpastry Bakery like smell. The buds are starting to fill in better this week and she looks fairly healthy. Gave her some fresh worm castings as well as Lime , Liquid potassium and High Tea. She is now in the middle of a two to three day fasting where Im not giving anything at all to allow the pot to dry a little and allow oxygen to feed the roots. When I do water I'll add fresh Mycorrhizae to innoculate the roots again. Thankyou for Looking in on my Update See you next week . 👍

comment.

Buds growing fast (fastbuds) lol, so far so good, no major problems as of yet, counting the days now roughly about half way there! Getting a nice smell from both plants now😬👊🏻.
