Hey Folks. I just wanted to drop a quick report on my Ghost Train Haze #1 (Fem) from Rare Dankness.
As always, the opinions expressed in this report belong solely to the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Overgrow, Foreigner or any other group or individual. This is one plant (data point), your mileage may vary.
This was grown in my home built grow room and was opposite the Chernobyl plant I reported on a couple of weeks ago.
Coco, EWC and Gai Green in a 10-gallon, tall grow bag.
Here she is at week 4 or 5 of veg
Decent sized leaves
Flip day 12
She was a crazy stretcher. I have to get better about pairing plants with similar growth patterns in this room. I didn’t think she was going to stop growing up. Here is a shot looking up while I sit on the floor
I didn’t defoliate at all. I cut a couple of stems off on the bottom to make watering easier, but that was it. The following pics are in order, but I don’t have them marked at what day they are from flip. I’ll add commentary on a couple of them.
She looks hungry, but it’s the lighting. Her leaves were dark green until she started senescence
She got so tall I couldn’t get all of her in one picture
This is one of my favorite pics of her. Pay no attention to the web. I had a ghost spider in there, which I thought was ironic
Here, I am literally standing on a step ladder to get a shot level with her tops
At this point I’m standing on the floor of the room and looking up to get shots of her tops
Outside of the room looking in
This is an 8-foot ceiling and the light is up as high as it can go. Thankfully, the weight started to tilt the top colas over and I staked the stalks with those green, plastic tomato stakes
Sitting on the floor, looking at the bottom flowers. Very little light gets down there, but the buds are not larfy at all. Genetics
Sitting on the floor again looking up at the clubs above
Lowers
Chop day, 77 days from the flip
Just under 7 days of drying
Very full trim bin. I felt like I was trimming sea urchins
With flash
Full disclosure: I pulled a total of 7 balls off her bottom nodes at different times right around week 4 of flower. They were pretty easy to spot. No nanners.
Growth - Very easy to grow. Large fan leaves all through flower and very healthy. Fed her dry amendments roughly every two weeks.
Appearance - Beautiful. Super healthy and her pistils remind me of Kali Mist. Stems are really strong, but the weight of the flowers will eventually bow them.
Yield - Surprising. I’ve never filled the trim bin up this far before with one plant. Her buds were pretty dense until they started fox tailing right around week 9. Even with the fox tailing, they have a decent density. Very hazy appearance, but not fluffy at all.
Smell - I love her smell. She smelled like musk melon in flower. Like a cross between honey dew and cantaloupe. When I chopped her, the house reeked of straight up skunk. After a week hanging, she grinds to this amazing lemon/lime hazy melon smell. I can’t get enough of it.
Taste - Exactly like she smells. Hazy lemon/lime melon. Really thick.
Quality - She is strong! We were a little surprised at her quality. More psychoactive than anything we’ve grown since legalization. I was hoping for a little more energetic high, but it’s she’s a nice mix. I don’t give ratings of 10 because I’ve never had one that ticked every box, but she’s a solid 9.5 out of 10.
Final thoughts - We have been happily enjoying her all day. Knowing that she’s only going to improve with the cure is something the Mrs. and I are both looking forward to.
I intentionally took her at 11 weeks and I’m glad I did. I didn’t want any amber at all. A quick trich scope showed all cloudy and that’s what I was shooting for. She could have easily gone another two to three weeks for people that want more body. She was intended just for me but given the fact she wasn’t as racy as I like, Mrs. Coda can enjoy her as well.
Hope this helps anyone who’s had their eye on her.
Coda
