🌱 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.

10 /11 Weeks Flower¬¬ It's going to be a long flowering phase! 18/01/2024 Performed a mid-day clean using hydrogen peroxide Moved Spicy Temp to the flower tent Noted that the temperatures are a little high Searching for a new, large heatsink for the CropMaster Pro 1000 to resemble the SK600. Considering modifications to the CropMaster's heatsink as it is currently equipped with a 12-watt fan driver, PC fans, and connected to the LED mains power. It still works well, but planning to replace some LEDs once this grow is completed. Fed 200ml of organic random feed to 5 plants Discovered a sprouted seedling beneath the Forgotten Haze and relocated it to the veg tent 19/01/2024 Noted the arrival of the flowers 20/01/2024 Conducted a mid-day photoshoot Started using natural fertilizer as flowering has commenced, applied 150ml for every 5 liters of water 20-01-2024 Recorded a video of the pre-flowering stage, indicating anticipation of a substantial yield 20/01/2024 Performed defoliation before the onset of substantial flowering and cleaned up the lower growth Implemented SCROG (Screen of Green) 22/01/2024 Recorded a video of the pre-flowering stage 23/01/2024 No major changes, just observing more leaves and flowers 23/01/2024 Trimmed off the small undergrowth shoots Missed a few of the lower growth shoots 24/01/2024 Gently stretched the plant within the SCROG setup I'm aware that I need to reposition the pot more to the left to ensure the plants stretch evenly from both sides, but honestly, I'm feeling a bit lazy to do it tonight. I'll tackle it first thing in the morning, I promise! Originally, my plan was to have two plants in the set-up, but it turns out that Freaky Pablo is male. And now for a plant-related joke: Why did the Forgotten Haze Cakes go to therapy? Because she had too many hang-ups! _____________________________________ #IT WAS A RIDDLE YA DIDDLE SEE IT- "I was so stoned & baked last night and a little bit pebbled and tripped over a rake and then I finally had a ''eureka moment'' of what, ''Banana Shrimps are symbolic of! haha, my innocence is now ruined! The question I'm asking is; will I ever grow up? and leave Mushroom Town" _____________________________________. REAL CONCLUSION: The Skunk Of Trutn. Answer: Not for another 3-4 Weeks, then you get to leave Mushroom city. "But it's about Forgotten Haze Cake maturity in to woman hood begins. But she still stays in mushroom land, the land of the Forgotten, she's lost amongst the Haze and Cake strains of the cold damp soil where mushrroms grow. This is a Kind symbolic gesture reminder here, to keep the top soil clean during these colder times. We don't want mould or bud rot. Some hazes like to see 3 days of dropped temps to change her colours like a psychedelic trip during the start of maturity" "Shes always tripping over rakes, I have a little baby rake I use to freshen up her top soils" Allso she was living next door to Freaky Pablo that turned out to be male to where Bananas come from and shes the shrimp. This riddle is told by the perspective of the Plant realising she's a woman going through the stages womanhood" So, in conclusion, my fellow thinkers and growers, let's embrace the absurdity, cherish our innocence, and ponder the enigma of find a rake to trip over and lead us to that illuminating "eureka moment," no matter how stoned, baked, or pebbled we may be. Cheers to growth, both in the mind and the garden! _____________________________________ At mid-day on January 25th, 2024, I accidentally placed the light too close to the plants for a couple of hours, resulting in burnt leaves and pistils. It can't be a calcium deficiency since I have been feeding 6ml of calcium to 5 liters of water. The only difference was the proximity of the light.

Day 75 - Topped up and changed water and nutrient solution. Cut down on the "Grow" and upped the "Bloom". Trimmed more dead dieing and weak leaves. Also trimmed away quite a few smaller branches underneath that just weren't going to have a chance at establishing any good bud sites and most likes would have eventually died off anyways due to lack of light penetration to lower canopy levels. Back left plant has slowed its height growth almost to a stop at around 31 inches from the bucket rim. Front and back right plants have still been growing strong despite the nutrient cut backs but are also forming good flowers at the same time. Will have to boost up the shorter plant to get closer to light as I keep moving it farther away for the other 2 plants. Day 79 - More watering and trimming.

Had my controller shut my lights down, luckily I caught it but lost around 9 hours light. I’ve had to leave my grow a few times for medical reasons but I will say this is one stinky strain! And it’s very frosty! Being my 1st ever hydro run I took it very easy so I will run this strain again when my skills are up to par because this has some serious potential!

Week 5 begins for Mandarin dreams and Divine storm. All four ladies look happy and healthy with minor deficiency signs. All four are bulking up and frosty as my windows (it's -21 °c)! The Mars-Hydro TSW2000 is performing awesome, very happy with it. Thank you Kaoritracy for hooking me up! Thanks for stopping by growfessors 👽🌳💚

Week 3 flowering for the strawberry cookies 🍓🍪 from super sativa seeds club Using Tent X from Trolmaster to control the temperature and using Xpert nutrients for the food. We started slowly to add some addictives like bloom booster and cal-mag amino. Next week we will add some more addictives. Temperature marks around 23.8 on TentX

Been too busy to update the last few weeks, but they’re surviving longer then I expected. When I received my new light I did not take in consideration of the heat output and within the first night of use the tent reached a scorching 88 degrees

Salutations, Growmies, As we venture into week 13 with our Epic Buzz siblings, we're greeted with a sight of awe-inspiring development. Epic Buzz #1, with her colas frosting over like a midwinter forest, signals a pinnacle of resin production. The surface of each bud resembles a miniature landscape, crystalline and vibrant, basking in the glow of our attentively managed lights. Epic Buzz #2 doesn't shy away from the spotlight either, flaunting massive colas that are a spectacle of horticultural excellence. The density of the flowers is remarkable, each bract swelling with potential, hinting at the hefty harvest that's almost within reach. Epic Buzz #3, the enigmatic one, maintains her pace, a steady climb of trichome-laden flowers ascending towards their peak. There's a symphony in her silhouette, a harmonious blend of sativa stretch and indica girth. The ambience within the grow space is serene, a steady symphony of fans and filters that weave a tale of controlled conditions – a steady 25.3°C and 65.8% humidity, without a hint of fluctuation. Such stability is the cornerstone of our thriving terpene tapestry. Lighting, now set to an impeccable 55% intensity, avoids any undue stress while bathing our ladies in the luminescent embrace they crave. The IR and UV additions to our light regimen pay homage to the sun's natural spectrum, promoting a bounty that is not only bountiful but also rich in cannabinoids and terpenes. The watering schedule remains unchanged, a testament to the rhythmic routine that our plants have come to expect. This is the beat to which they grow, and their response is nothing short of spectacular. The Epic Buzz trio is a testament to the rewards of resilience, the bounty that beckons when you sync with nature's pulse. We watch, with bated breath, as they edge closer to harvest – a celebration of cultivation, patience, and the green-thumbed dance between grower and plant. Looking forward to the near future, we anticipate a harvest that will encapsulate the essence of care, skill, and a little bit of magic that has been poured into every moment of their growth. Until the next update, keep the vibes high and the lights bright. Stay lifted, Salokin P.S. Since the TrolMaster contest has concluded, I'll deposit my concise reflection here: The Tent-X has revolutionized my growing experience. Intuitive graphs and controls led to a near-perfect environment and flourishing plants over 13 weeks, deeply enhancing my plant care knowledge. It's a game-changer for any grower.

Day 63 This plant has been trained into a wide, flat shape, with multiple tops spread out evenly across the pot. The structure is low and bushy, clearly influenced by topping or LST, which has opened up the canopy for better light penetration. Leaf color is generally healthy, a strong green with decent vibrancy, though some variation is visible. The lower leaves show stress — one is yellowed and deteriorating, likely from nutrient deficiency (older growth being consumed) or simply natural fading. The canopy looks vigorous and responsive to training, but growth is still somewhat restrained; the plant doesn’t yet have explosive vertical energy. The root zone may still be recovering from earlier stress, but the overall appearance suggests it’s adapting well. Going forward, the key will be to maintain even watering and steady nutrition, supporting strong root activity. Some light defoliation could help airflow under the canopy and direct energy into the developing tops. If conditions stay stable, this plant should be able to bounce back and continue filling the space effectively.
