The Ghost Rose.
Judging from the posts on @ReikoX’s thread ReikoX’s Workshop 2021, I thought it might be entertaining to post some grow pictures of the Ghost Rose that I just finished.
I got the seeds from ReikoX as part of his FAM mix of 8 auto seeds (2 each of 4 different crosses) that he sent out in 2019. I was one of the lucky recipients but I was doing a couple of long Sativa grows so it took me a while to get to them. I had an assortment of other auto seeds in my stash – freebies etc – so I decided to do an auto grow with one from the FAM mix & 3 other mixed seeds. I just randomly picked a seed from the FAM pack & as luck would have it . . . a Ghost Rose. Sugar Black Rose x Ghost Toof seed = Ghost Rose.
Setup:
- 4 x 4 x 8 tent
- 700 w LED lighting. 1 vintage fixture & 4 Solstiks mounted in long pairs to move up & down & rotate at my whim to extend the grow area & help get under the canopy a bit. I ran the lights at 19/5 for the duration until the very end when I cut it to 15/9. Queer hours but it worked.
- 5 gal cloth pots filled with Canna coco & perlite.
- I hand water daily, aiming for a little overflow. CannaCoco A+B, humic acid, GH Cal/mag and I hit them with PK 13/14 for 10 days around the 3rd week of flower. I kept the ec low, climbing to 1.3 for veg & early flower & only jumping to 1.6 during the PK addition.
The seeds were soaked in a glass for less than 24 hours & then put it moist paper towel on a plate that I put on top of a heating pad. This keeps it warm but never hot. The seed from ReikoX is the one front & center with the longest tail.
A habit I brought over from my udwc grows, I always put the seedling in a Rapid Rooter plug which I put in the coco. I figure this gives the seedling a nice moist home to start building roots.
And . . . drum roll . . . the Best Vigor Award certainly went to the Ghost Rose. It charged ahead of the other autos in growth right from the start. Here it is on Day 6 . . .
I enjoy this “condensed” diaries, easier to follow the plant development, nice job done …
