🌱 Ghost Train Haze — Week 9 From Seed (Week 4 Flower | 12/12 From Seed — No Veg) This week is one of those moments where you don’t guide the plant… you observe it. She’s not just growing — she’s expressing. ⸻ 🌿 Structure & Expression From the very beginning, this run was about letting the plant define itself under a 12/12 cycle — no artificial veg, no forced shaping. And now we see the result: • Strong sativa-dominant expression • Long internodal spacing, but still stacking • Large, beautifully structured fan leaves • Upright, confident growth — no signs of stress She’s currently sitting around ~1.6m, and still stretching. Not aggressively… but purposefully. This is what happens when a plant is: • Not overhandled • Not overcorrected • Simply supported ⸻ 🍃 The Leaves (Worth Stopping For) Those leaves… honestly, they tell the whole story. • Deep green, fully saturated • Clean veins, no deficiencies • Wide spread = efficient light capture • Slight red petioles — genetic expression + intensity, not stress You don’t touch leaves like these unless they ask you to. And right now — they’re not asking for anything. ⸻ 💡 Light & Environment To adapt to her vertical push, the whole room was raised slightly: • PPFD: ~1600–1700 at the top • Still within tolerance because: • She’s actively stretching • Metabolism is high • No signs of light stress Environment holding steady: • 🌡️ 28°C • 💧 ~65% RH • Outside contrast: cold + humid (10°C / 87%) We’re not chasing numbers — we’re watching leaf response (VPD-driven). And right now, she’s fully comfortable. ⸻ Feeding Strategy (Autopot + Support) Reservoir (Mineral Base): • Plagron Terra Bloom • Green Sensation • Power Buds • CalMag (first in solution) EC: ~2.9 – 3.0 → High, but clearly within her tolerance Top Feeding (Manual, occasional): • Sugar Royal • Pure Zym Nothing complicated. Just consistent availability + letting the plant decide uptake. ⸻ 🌸 Flower Development Week 4 flower and you can already see: • Clear bud site definition • Early stacking along the main stem • Structure preparing for weight She’s not rushing flower. She’s building the frame first. That usually means one thing later on: 👉 Potential for heavy, elongated colas ⸻ 🌱 Why This Works (No Veg Insight) Running 12/12 from seed on a plant like this does something interesting: • The plant skips horizontal bush building • It prioritizes vertical structure early • Energy goes into: • Stem strength • Root establishment • Early reproductive readiness For genetics like Ghost Train Haze (naturally large, vigorous): 👉 This approach helps control size without suppressing expression Outside, this would easily become a monster. Here, we’re letting her be big — just within a controlled ceiling. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week • Stretch should begin to slow down • Bud sites will start: • Thickening • Connecting • Nutrient demand may stabilize or slightly increase • Watch: • Light distance (she’s getting close) • Airflow through inner canopy No major interventions planned. We continue observing. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude To everyone walking this path with us: • The OGs who’ve been here from day one • The new eyes discovering the journey • The growers sharing knowledge openly • The communities — inside and outside this platform • The genetics, the gear, the support behind the scenes And yes — even the critics. If you’re here, you’re part of 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.

Hey everyone :-) This week it smells more and more sweet and fruity in the whole room 😍. There is actually not much to report, everyone is now under 12/12 :-). This is the last grow that comes in the entire diary. From now on, each plant will be added to the diary 👍. I wish you all a lot of fun watching, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👌

La planta sigue ramificando e inicia la pre floración, se prepara para dar el último estiron. Mientras tanto yo le cambié el fotoperiodo a 20/4 y le agregué un foco de sodio de 400w a los 200w de cfl que ya tenía en vegetación. Volví a ajustar el lst creo que por última vez antes de dejarlas ser hasta el final. Riego cada 4 días aproximadamente con 2L de agua estacionada con ph entre 6.2 y 6.4. Ayer le tocó agua pura y en cuanto me pida más le daré un poquito de extracto de algas de top crop. Big one y top auto en muy bajas dosis, pues la planta no ha mostrado signos de deficiencia alguna.. Hice un riego foliar con aceite de Neem, extracto de canela y jabón potásico a modo preventivo. Ha respondido bien a la nueva luz, la distancia entre el sodio y la copa es de 60cm, iré acortando más adelante 10cm más si la temperatura me lo permite, La sigo!

Fed her some more fish fertilizer and bat guano for the slight yellowing pre flower. Her green is coming back. This will be my first skunk without seed.

Week 9! Day 65: 2L (pH6.8) + mild organic fertiliser from kitchen scraps. Remember the potato water I spoke of earlier? I blended it up with some ruined sweet peppers from the garden and some applecider vinegar & eggshell to give her one last, very diluted nutrient solution. This feed was aimed more at the soil than the plant. Bud bulking has come to a halt, she's fading. Nonetheless, I discovered some purple leaf edges on one of the buds in particular, I wonder if this might be related to nutrition or temperature.

🌱 Week 3 | Passion Fruitz | Small but Full of Potential Not every plant develops at exactly the same pace, and that’s one of the most enjoyable aspects of growing from seed. This Passion Fruitz may be a few days behind some of her neighbours, but she continues to develop steadily while displaying all the characteristics of a healthy young plant. Rather than trying to force her to catch up, the goal is simply to provide stable conditions and allow her genetics to dictate the pace. Every phenotype has its own rhythm, and learning to respect that natural variation is part of becoming a better grower. The environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week, giving every plant the same opportunity to thrive. Daytime temperatures averaged 27°C, with nighttime temperatures around 25°C. Relative humidity stayed close to 55%, while the root zone remained at 21°C and the nutrient solution at 20°C. Nutrient pH was maintained at 6.0, EC increased slightly to 1.3, atmospheric CO₂ averaged approximately 666 ppm, and lighting continued under the 12/12 From Seed schedule with approximately 600–700 PPFD at canopy level. This week’s feeding remained focused on establishing a strong root system while encouraging healthy vegetative development: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L The response has been exactly what we hoped for. Foliage is a rich healthy green, the stem continues to strengthen, and the newest growth is emerging cleanly without any visible nutrient deficiencies or environmental stress. Although this phenotype is slightly smaller than some of the others, its structure is exceptionally promising. The internodes remain very close together, creating a compact architecture that should provide an excellent foundation once flowering begins. Rather than investing energy into vertical stretch, the plant appears to be concentrating on building a sturdy stem and a balanced framework capable of supporting future flower production. One lesson I’ve learned over the years is that early size doesn’t always predict final performance. Some plants spend their first few weeks quietly establishing an extensive root system before suddenly accelerating once they’re comfortable in their environment. Patience often rewards the grower far more than unnecessary intervention. For now, the plan remains simple: maintain consistency, avoid overreacting to minor differences between phenotypes, and allow Passion Fruitz to continue developing at her own natural pace. Healthy plants don’t all grow at the same speed, but they almost always reward stable conditions and patience. She may be the smallest member of the room today, but she’s showing every sign of becoming a strong, compact and resilient plant in the weeks ahead. As always, a huge thank you to Plagron, Zamnesia, GrowDiaries, and everyone following this Project Blue adventure. Mr. Baggy stopped by for his routine inspection and gave this little lady his official seal of approval. Sometimes the quiet ones have the biggest stories still waiting to be told. Growers Love 🌱🛍️

Organic Cookies Original sensible Seeds Girl scout cookies 8 weeks of flowering completed 29th March 2020 Hi Everyone I hope you are all well and staying safe during these strange times we are all facing at the moment. This Girl scout cookies plant is getting closer everyday but so is the risk of mold . Ive already needed to chop out a few pieces of flower that were starting to turn moldy so it's been a very stressful and watchful week for me. Ideally I'd like to let this plant go atleast another week or even two but with the weather the way it is and the forecast for is yet to come suggests i will need to harvest well before then if I'm to get uneffected buds that can be safely smoked. I havent been game to even water her for the last 3 days due to the very high humidity but luckily she is showing no sighns of being thirsty or needing any food. That is all for this weeks update Thankyou for stopping by 👍

Ciao ragazzi e bentornati qui in una nuova pagina del diario degli Alberi di Limoni 🍋 Stanno ingrassando lentamente ma la quantità di Thc sembra interessante, molto gelida e dura. La numero 3 sembra quasi pronta. Wtf! I pistilli sono tutti arancioni ormai e h spogliato completamente lei per valorizzare i fiori. Le numero 1 e 2 sembrano avere lo stesso calendario invece, ancora molto indietro.👊 L odore di limone sta prendendo forma, al tatto sulle dita si percepisce prevalentemente questo!😋 Eh niente ragazzi! Le sorelle si nutrono bene e velocemente. Ottimo!👍 Grazie a tutti per aver guardato e restate sintonizzati per nuovi aggiornamenti.🙏 Buona settimana e felice crescita 🌱 🌱 🌱

******** Week 3 of flower, Week 12 growth - Oct 3 to 9/20 *********** It has been less exciting this week with respect to new issues👍😃 GG4 has reacted very well to the stem cracking but just leaving the area alone at the same time. Really impressed with how the colas have been stacking. They are done their stretch now and will work on getting thicker🤞💪👍 Leaves are getting a little darker for my liking this week. It is one of the things I have often struggled with using AN Sensi Grow and Bloom base nutes.,,,,,,keeping the feeding at 1ml.L to maybe 1.5ml at max.....stopped using their CalMag Basie of nitrogen levels as well. Not sure where else to go and will just give her some time for now and stay the course and see what the next two weeks bring.......keep up, increase, the plain water feedings. GG4 should have some nice size colas. At three weeks her tops are the size of a BIC lighter.......with 6 more weeks of swelling to go.....keeps you smiling😃💪🤞 Little more detail........ Oct 3/20, Day 15 - 4L - 450ppm and 5.7pH Oct 4/20, Day 16 - 4L - 1025ppm and 5.8pH Oct 5/20, Day 17 - 3L - 100ppm and 5.9pH Oct 7/20, Day 19 - 4L - 1025ppm and 5.9pH Oct 9/20, Day 21 - 3L - 500ppm and 5.9pH Sweet Seeds has a really nice cross in this strain👍😎 Great work Guys!!! Working on the update for the week.........

Increased the amount of nutrients in the feed this week and got a little bit of burn on V, Nemo handled it no problem! removed the yellow spotted fan leafs as part of general defoliation for this point in flower. Continuing to pluck and tuck, meaning removing extra fan leafs (plucking) and bending tallest colas back under the scrog (tuck). shooting to keep all budsights 18 to 22 inches from the light to prevent burn and allow healthy development. I can see where proper distance has been kept best development has occured.

12/25/2023-Germination Day 1 Merry X-mas 2023 I decided to start a run of SolFIre Gardens Hoodz Candyz S1. I am going to do a cup filled with RO water a touch of Hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 24-48 hours until I see tap root then I am going to put it into a rapid rooter.. Tap root Down and put it about 1/4 of the say down the Rapid rooter. I made some modifications to my basket on this run.. I have taken a few Pods that I use for my cloning machine and decided that I am going to try and use them as sure plants, so that I can take my water right up to the bottom of the basket this time and see if these can make my planting more consistent.   12/26/2023-Germination Day 2 Tap root achieved Planting Commencing 12/27/2023-Germination Day 3 Misted the dome lightly misted the rapid rooter and added a little water to the bottom of the pan to encourage root growth to the pan. 12/28/2023-Germination Day 4 Ground Hogs day 12/29/2023- Germination Day 5 She is up, she has broken surface, I misted the root riot, and around the bottom of the tray to try and entice root growth down rapidly. 12/31/2023- Germination Day 6 Ground Hogs Day 1/1/2024-Germination Day 7 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!.. I did it I planned it out so my planting day would fall on New Years and it worked.. Yay!!! 1/2/2024- Germination Day 8 Since the roots are not to the water yet, I am pouring one cup of water lightly on the hydroton around the lady to try and encourage root growth down to the water.. 1/3/2024- Germination Day 9 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/4/2024- Germination Day 10 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/5/2024- Germination Day 11 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I am going to change the water Sunday and kick off Week 1, I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 12 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 13 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/7/2024- Germination Day 14 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water.

Update : 09.06 Da das Wetter hier im Norden nicht so mit spielt, machen sie langsam Fortschritte. Wir machen das beste Draus ✌️
