🌱 Ghost Train Haze — Week 5 From Seed (Late Veg / Pre-Transition) This week nature reminded us who’s in charge. Outside temps dropped to 4–5°C with 90–95% humidity, and instead of fighting it, we adapted — and so did the girls. 🌡️ Environment • Tent temperature: ~21.8°C • RH: ~58% Considering the outside conditions, this is a very comfortable and stable environment, and the plants are showing zero stress signs. Leaf posture is relaxed, growth is steady, and overall vitality is excellent. We’re embracing seasonal changes rather than forcing extremes — and the plants are responding beautifully. ⸻ Nutrition & Watering Strategy Hand-Watered Plants • pH: 5.9 • EC: 1.43 • New addition this week: CalMag Pro — 1 ml/L This is not a reaction to deficiencies. Calcium and magnesium become increasingly important during this phase due to: • accelerating cell division • structural development • increasing transpiration as light intensity rises Introducing CalMag before problems appear helps maintain: • stronger cell walls • stable nutrient uptake • smoother transition toward flowering This is prevention, not correction. ⸻ Autopot Zone • EC: 2.29 • pH: 6.0 • Solution temperature: ~22.8°C In the Autopots we’re running minerals only. Organic inputs don’t behave consistently in passive systems and can lead to: • biofilm buildup • line blockages • unstable nutrient availability Keeping this zone clean, mineral-based, and predictable ensures long-term stability. ⸻ 💡 Light & PPFD • PPFD range: ~700–850 (depending on plant size) • Top light: 100%, unchanged • Plants are praying constantly and clearly growing toward the light — no pushing, no forcing. Under-Canopy & Inner-Canopy Lighting • Beginning of week: OFF • End of week: ON (very gently) This is not to increase total PPFD yet. The goal right now is education, not intensity. By introducing photons: • from below • from inside the canopy • from multiple angles …we’re teaching the plant early that light is everywhere, preparing structure and bud sites for later stages. Intensity will increase only as the plants evolve. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Structure • No heavy training • No aggressive defoliation • Only: • leaf tucking • gentle branch bending • very light LST These plants are naturally compact, with: • beautiful branching • large, healthy leaves • lush green color • excellent vigor in the Autopots Growth is slower compared to other plants in the room, which may be linked to the sativa-leaning genetics. In my experience, sativas often: • develop more slowly early • take longer to finish • but reward patience later We’ll let the plant tell the story. ⸻ 🌸 Veg or Flower? This is a 12/12 from seed run. Some plants in the room are already showing pre-flower. Ghost Train Haze is not — and that’s completely fine. She is still in vegetative growth, building structure. Delayed transition can often mean: • more stretch later • potentially larger final size But we don’t guess — we observe. The plant flips when she’s ready, not when the calendar says so. ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap for Newcomers • Week 5 from seed • Still vegetative • 12/12 light cycle • Stable environment despite harsh weather outside • Preventive CalMag introduced • Clean mineral strategy in Autopots • Multi-angle lighting slowly being introduced • Minimal intervention, maximum observation ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not To) Expect: • continued structural development • slow, steady growth • eventual self-triggered transition Do NOT expect: • forced flowering • rushed development • aggressive training This run is about letting the plant express herself naturally. ⸻ 🙏 Thanks Big thank you to everyone following along, supporting, and sharing knowledge. Appreciation as always to the sponsors — including Lumiflora for the under-canopy lighting — and to the community that makes these shared journals meaningful.

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.

Welcome to the first week of my Anesia Seeds Bola Mintz!!💪 A new adventure begins and in the new cycle I have decided to put this powerful and fruity wonder 🍓 The seed germinated in just over a day and four days after sowing the cotyledons opened, revealing the first leaflets. Good job! News are not over, I have recently received a new line of fertilizers from @greenbuzzliquids which I sincerely thank for the vastness of products sent to me. I started using More Roots to stimulate the roots, Growzyme to help the seedling and Humic Acid Plus to enrich the soil. We will see how it goes on! 😎 I deeply thank the Anesia Seeds team for sponsoring this new grow and @greenbuzzliquids of which I can't wait to use every single product!🙏🙏❤️

Meine Woche ist finde ich gut verlaufen sie findet sich langsam zurecht in dem größeren Topf. Ich hatte zwischendurch das Gefühl dass sie nicht richtig an wurzeln dürfen dass sie nicht richtig trinkt aber scheinbar funktioniert es doch alles ich habe auch hier wieder die neue Lampe mit bei und ich denke deswegen hängen die Blätter ein wenig weil es jetzt eine Umstellung ist und diese Lampe sehr viel mehr power hat als die vorherige heute habe ich auch wieder Enhancer benutzt die untersten Blätter werden langsam schon gelb weiß jemand was ihr fehlt.

I did half the recommended dose of Indo products through out this grow

What good everyone, these ladies are progressing beautifully. Thinking another week or two on these and they'll be pretty much ready to harvest. All in all Happy Growing

20.11 : F+5 1L of fertilizer 22.11 : Ras 23.11 : watering 24.11 : RAS no watering 26.11 : 0.75L no more insect after futher more inspection, the humidifier and waterspray did work :)

Also was kann man abschließend sagen, ich finde die Sorte echt sehr sehr stabil und robust, verzeiht auch Fehler 😅🙊😁 Ich finde nächstes mal muss ich weniger Lampen Leistung in der vegi Phase nutzen und oder höheren Abstand, denn sie hätten noch größer / bzw bisschen mehr Strecken können, aber das lag halt daran das ich die Lampen mit zuviel Leistung zu nahe, an den Pflanzen hatte während der vegi Phase und nächstes Mal mehr auslichten, aber das sind Erfahrungs Werte die man sammelt von daher bin ich sehr sehr zufrieden, und Runtz Muffin von Barnys farm hat voll und ganz überzeugt, die Farben während des grows waren einfach toll und der jetzige Geruch und Geschmack ist fast nicht beschreibbar ha ha aber unnormal lecker schön mit meinem volcano bei 185 grad, einfach köstlich ha ha ha und die6 Wirkung is bombe 😅😁😁😁💣 So what can you say in conclusion, I think the variety is really very, very stable and robust, also forgives mistakes 😅🙊😁 I think next time I have to use less lamp power in the vegi phase and or a greater distance, because they could have been larger / or a little more stretch, but that was because I had the lamps with too much power too close to the plants Thinning out more during the vegi phase and next time, but these are empirical values ​​that you collect, so I'm very, very satisfied, and Runtz Muffin from Barnys farm was completely convincing, the colors during the grow were just great and the current smell and taste is almost indescribable ha ha but abnormally delicious beautiful with my volcano at 185 degrees, simply delicious ha ha ha and the effect is bombshell 😅😁😁😁💣

Week 5: A little yellowing on the leaves this week. We believe we have a Mag deficiency. Will adjust when watering. Did a flush due to this as well with Cal/Mag in the water. Defoliation: We took a lot more off this week due to the growth spurt. LST: using paper clips for LST and it is working amazingly. They have really adjusted well to it. Height (inches): GSC1 21.5; GSC2 15.5; GSC3 15; Delight 17 7.19.22: The back left GSC grew 3 inches overnight - crazy!!! Raised the light to accommodate it and placed the other girls on a box to be at her level.

Today marks the second week of flowering, and I’m really excited about how well my cannabis plant is doing! Over the past few days, it’s really stretched out and has grown quite a bit taller. The leaves are looking lush and vibrant, with a deep green color that shows how healthy the plant is. I was a bit worried last week because the leaves were slightly droopy, but after adjusting the water and getting the levels just right, it’s looking much better now. It feels like the plant has responded really well to the care I’ve been giving it. I’m looking forward to seeing how it continues to develop in the next weeks. The buds are starting to form, and I can’t wait to see them fill out. This is such an exciting process, and I’m really hopeful that everything will keep going smoothly from here on. Fingers crossed for a successful grow!💚🌱

Multi strain grow did not go to the plans. A four week break at start of flower with only lights and water. So not the ideal I work to. But we have a plant alive and with nice tight buds, dense and easy to trim. Almost no side branching and very predictable stretch. For any beginners out there you have found a perfect strain here. I did not touch this, she grew herself with little help. From germination to the pictures is 60 days can you believe. Very very quick. Lots of frosty nugs! So much has changed since the low rider days with autos I can hardly believe how good they have become.

Keine nennenswerten Probleme, Banana Purple Punch hat ein starken Schub bekommen

11.5. - Entering new week with fattening buds and smelly growbox. I'm really excited for the harvest now, however still couple weeks left. Watered 💧 14.5. - Damn, all that high humidity made some damage. To be specific I'm having issues with rust fungi. Next time I have to lower the amount of plants in my box as I don't have enough space and airflow. Watered 💧 17.5. - Watered 💧 11.5. - 17.5.2024

They gettin fat

420 Fastbuds Gelato Auto Week 7 These girls are doing good but absolutely refuse to go into flower it seems like. I'm going to give them another week to see if I start seeing preflower sites if not I'll put them outside with my outdoor plants to try and force them. Either way they're looking good and still showing no signs of any major issues. All In all Happy Growing

Mendo Frost is now fully in flower and currently going through the main stretch phase. LST is basically finished at this point and the overall structure stayed very stable over the last days. The canopy is surprisingly even right now, with the plant reaching around 40 cm in height. Bud sites are forming everywhere, although the side branching remains rather minimal and compact compared to my other plants.

Not had a good time in this tent either I will be going back to photoperiods for a while get more experience before doing autos again 😴

Day 29 of flower.
