Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

This grow went so smooth it felt like it was really just on auto pilot. I’d give the girls daily look overs, but for the most part they did their own thing. 420fastbuds seeds are def legit and worth trying. 10/10- they got 48 hours of darkness, dried for 13 days in a dark room at 62 degrees and 60%rh, cured for a month in terplock bags and came out beyond top shelf.

Buenos días familia, volvemos con la cuarta semana de floración con nuestras skunk de zambezaseeds y hay que recalcar que esta variedad tiene una rápida floración, apostaría Que será lo primero que cortemos. El ph está controlado en 6.5 a partir de esta semana añadimos overdrive en nuestros riegos. Temperatura y humedad ideales para la Avanzada etapa de floración. Esta cepa es bastante resistente y Fácil de cultivar , os la recomendaría sobretodo a cultivadores novatos, y no tan novatos claro , ya que se valora mucho una floración rápida en indoor.

I started topping the plants to enhance branch growth to increase tops. The weather has been decent but hazy from the Canadian wildfires. Growth is vigorous.

I have eight clones from my Korova grow. Built two DWC with four 4 inch net pots each. The totes are 5 gallon. Purchased the drill bit so if any of these take off I can move them to their own 5 gallon bucket.

Ghost Train Haze — Week 8 From Seed (Week 3 Flower) 12/12 From Day One — Zamnesia Room This report focuses on the tallest, most expressive girl in the room — the wild card aiming for the moon. She’s delayed compared to others. She’s the tallest. She’s pushing hard. And she’s completely in flower now. ⸻ 🌱 How We Got Here (For Anyone Just Joining) This run started 12/12 from seed. No long veg. No artificial holding pattern. Straight into reproductive signaling from day one. Room philosophy: • Match light to structure. • Match feed to metabolism. • Match environment to stage. • Read the plants, not the chart. We are not forcing uniformity. We are scaling intensity per plant. This Ghost Train Haze is one of the most delayed in flower transition — genetic expression, not environmental issue. She stretched aggressively. She claimed vertical territory. Thankfully we’re running a 2.45m tent, which allows: • LEDs high enough for safety • 1300 µmol at the top • Still enough power to feed the rest of the canopy No panic bending. No emergency topping. Structure allowed to express. ⸻ Environment Snapshot • Canopy Temp: ~28°C (now tapering toward 26°C) • RH: ~70% (now reducing toward 60%) • CO₂: 1000+ ppm passive enrichment • PPFD: 800 → 1300 µmol On paper: 28°C + 70% RH looks aggressive. In reality: Massive airflow changes everything. We run: • Strong horizontal circulation • Vertical displacement • Active intake + extraction • Under-canopy airflow Moving 70% RH behaves very differently from stagnant 70%. Leaf VPD Room VPD. Under strong LEDs, leaf temp runs slightly above ambient. Add 1000+ ppm CO₂: • Higher photosynthesis rate • Reduced stomatal opening requirement • Higher humidity tolerance • Sustained metabolism She’s not surviving. She’s pushing. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy — Scaled, Not Ego-Driven We are not blasting evenly. • Big tops: up to 1300 µmol • Smaller plants: ~800 µmol Usable photons only. No ego lighting. Under-canopy lighting: • Reduces larf • Activates lower bud sites • Improves uniformity • Supports airflow stability We fill blocked zones. We don’t replace top light. Everything connects. ⸻ 🔴 End-of-Day Red (15 Minutes) We run a 15-minute red pulse after lights off. Phytochrome management: • Influences Pr Pfr balance • Supports flowering signaling • Does NOT extend photoperiod Signal manipulation. Not day length manipulation. We experiment. We observe. We document. No magic claims. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Strategy — Week 3 Flower Adjustment She’s hungry. Soil EC: ~0.9 Feed EC: ~2.4 As long as runoff EC stays stable: We maintain strength. High metabolic demand → High input. Now let’s talk additions. ⸻ ➕ Why Add Power Buds + Green Sensation (1ml/L each) 🔸 Power Buds Early/mid flower stimulant. Purpose: • Encourages faster flower set • Supports early bud formation • Enhances transition speed • Helps synchronize hormonal shift For a slightly delayed genetic like this one: This supports catching up structurally. ⸻ 🔸 Green Sensation Late flower metabolic support. Functions: • PK boost • Magnesium support • Iron chelate support • Enhances carbohydrate transport • Supports resin & density At Week 3 flower: Bud sites are formed. Stacking begins. Demand increases. We introduce it now to: • Support density • Fuel aggressive metabolism • Maintain color stability ⸻ Current Full Recipe Weekly top feed: • CalMag Pro (always first when mixing) • Terra Bloom (base NPK) • Power Buds • Green Sensation • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar where applicable) Order matters: CalMag → Base Nutrient → Additives Why? Calcium first stabilizes solution chemistry. Then macro base. Then supplements. Avoids precipitation. Maintains availability. ⸻ Autopots vs Hand-Fed Plants Important distinction. Autopot girls: • Mineral base in system • CalMag + Terra Bloom + Power Buds at higher base strength • Weekly full-spectrum top-feed with full additive recipe Why mineral-heavy in Autopots? Because: • Constant moisture • No traditional dryback cycles • Salt accumulation risk • Organic residues can clog system • Predictability is critical Mineral base ensures: • Stable EC • Predictable uptake • Clean lines • Consistent delivery The weekly additive top-feed: Reintroduces biostimulants and secondary support. Two systems. Two strategies. Same plant biology. ⸻ 🔥 Metabolism Status She is drinking daily. Aggressively. That tells us: • Transpiration is strong • Photosynthesis is high • Root zone oxygenation is sufficient • EC strength is appropriate When they stop heating like crazy: We taper. We don’t force finish. We signal season. Light taper. EC taper. Humidity reduction. Temperature reduction. Autumn simulation. ⸻ About This Girl (The Tall One) She’s aiming for the moon. Wild structure. Long internodes. Strong apical dominance. But: • No bleaching • No tacoing • No stress claw • No stalled metabolism She’s happy. Very happy. Genetics are expressing. Environment is supporting. Structure is respected. ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect Over the next weeks: Expect: • Vertical stretch slowing • Calyx swelling acceleration • Resin increase • Water consumption gradually decreasing • Slight EC demand drop • Color stabilization before fade Do NOT expect: • Explosive vertical growth • Sudden nutrient demand spikes • Drastic leaf expansion We are past that phase. Now it’s density time. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To: • The GrowDiaries platform • The community • The OGs • The new followers • The lovers • The critics • The silent watchers • The sponsors • Everyone sharing knowledge We grow together.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! 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. 💚 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.

Day 21: The three girls have grown really big now, I'm so proud. They were measuring around 12-15 cm before I added dirt and now they are receiving 3-4 hours of direct sunlight/5-6 of non direct sunlight (total) since the UV index here has gone mad high.

The Sensi Seeds Research breeding project has created eleven cannabis seed varieties. How? By combining new cannabis cultivars with a selection of strains from their long-established cannabis gene bank. For the first time in thirty-six years, they are opening the doors of the Sensi Seeds Research and Development Department. Week #11 Week #2 of flowering, is the week where you’re going to raise your lights every other day, stretch has been triggered after 1 week of 12/12 light period. This is why the ScrOG technic is one of the best if you don’t want to finish into the lights or to grow an army of plants with a short Veg to make a SOG. Always keep in mind to follow the 2 main goals, fill up all the light coverage (spreading light on the floor is a waste of energy and money) and not finishing into the lights (which is a good growers problem, but your buds are cooking and all the terpenes are burning...) Once again, stick to your Veg nootz, do not switch to Bloom nootz, your plants needs Nitrogen during this phase of the growth. Switching too early will lead to a "die back" situation around week 4 of flowering where your plants will turn yellow from the bottom to the top ... This is where, after feeding/or/watering, I like to look at them moving with the airflow, when the canopy is full it makes like a wave of leaves moving back and forth with the fans (speed fans at the lowest setting, Cannabis doesn’t like windy conditions, it’s just to move the air between the leaves). Stay tuned folks, next is the "Week #3 trimming", where we are going to clean the legs and cut some side shoots to avoid popcorns and fluffy buds and learn to make big dense donkey dick buds 😄 (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

She is really blowing up! I'm looking forward to having some chery coca-cola sized colas haaha. I will be sure to include a bottle of cherry cola as she gets closer to finishing! Shes got lots of energy still and is very green despite bieng a few weeks into flower! The overall size of the colas and plant itself already exceeded my overall expectation. I highly reccomend this based on the simplicity. She takes a heavy feed well and I havent sadly been able to take the best of care for her as I would of liked to. She is still stretching as far as I know as well. Its pretty impressive to see that in some autos as it's a definitive trait I see in photoperiods. This lady has at least 2 to 3 more weeks I believe. Check back next week to see just how fast she flowers & how frosty she gets. Dont forget its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!!!
