March 7, 2023 Skywalker OG Day 45 Height: 34.5" DLI: 45 (below top) Wedding Glue Day 38 Height: 9.5" DLI: 25 Going into week 6, I expect to see massive bud production from Skywalker OG. She looks great and has a ton of bud sites and is stacking beautifully. She has also started her Bloom nutrients. I use Fox Farm Tiger Bloom. Wedding Glue should be stretching this week as well. She will certainly fill out even more and I'll definitely have to defoliate one more time. Everything looks great on her. Beautiful lush green and great form. Definitely will be super bushy. Then there is that clone I made from Skywalker OG. It rooted and seems super healthy. I planted her in a 1/4 gallon nursery bag with the 50/50 Fox Farm mix. So she is planted and living in the tent now. I'm going to die if I get a nice cola out of this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 55.3% VPD: 1.19 kPa March 8, 2023 Not much going on today. Skywalker OG has some great internodal spacing. Looking great! Wedding Glue got a few more leaf snips. Opened the canopy right up again. Clone... Nope! She gone! I was mistaken. No rooting. Oh well. Grow System Environment: Temp: 71.9° RH: 55.1% VPD: 1.17 kPa March 9, 2023 Lots of filling in last night from Skywalker OG. I had to take a few leaves off that were directly covering bud sites. Nothing crazy though. Her buds are really well formed and growing rapidly. Wedding Glue hasn't stretched yet, but she is definitely looking about ready to. She is getting wider and I can only hope that she will shoot up during her stretch. She will be massive. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.7° RH: 54.6% VPD: 1.22 kPa March 10, 2023 Skywalker OG is stacking! The smell is still weak, but it smells great! Her buds are filling in quite nicely. I snipped 4 leaves that were becoming a problem for lower bud sites. Wedding Glue is looking great! Still slow growing, but robust. Branches are becoming nice and strong. She will definitely be able to hold a good amount of bud on them. She still has a bunch of huge fan leaves, but they seem to be helping her with developing a natural level canopy. She is starting to get a distinct smell from her branches and stems. Nothing super strong but a nice smell either way. Grow System Environment: kinda messy today. Temp: 71.8° RH: 55.9% VPD: 1.14 kPa March 11, 2023 Unfortunately I have run out of FishShit so I dropped it down to 1 ml per gallon for the rest of the week. Hopefully I can get more ASAP. Wedding Glue had a bump in her nutrient uptake from 1 ml to 2 ml for the week. Speaking of uptake, they have both gotten really thirsty in the past day. Both reservoirs were bone dry this morning. I have to keep a closer eye on the water levels. Finally, Wedding Glue is growing upward. Or at least starting to. Her branches are all reaching up now and most have broken through the canopy. I'll do another light defoliation when she really gets into the stretch. Just the biggest fan leaves. Maybe 10 total? Skywalker OG looks great! Trichomes are starting to develop all over the smaller fan leaves. Pistils are massive and stacking is getting impressive already. Most branches have some pretty good internodal spacing, especially through the top 8 inches or so, maybe 10? Either way, I hope to see some big and long colas for this lady. She also hasn't stopped growing either. Grow System Environment: Temp: 70.9° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.10 kPa March 12, 2023 Skywalker OG looks great! She's building those buds so nicely and she is starting to get a beautiful pungent scent. So far just gassy. Wedding Glue is getting bigger and bigger. I believe she just started pre-flower today. Hopefully the stretch will be here soon. Grow System Environment: Snowing Outside Temp: 71.4° RH: 54.4% VPD: 1.17 kPa March 13, 2023 Final day of week 6. Wedding Glue will get a defoliation at some point in the following week. She still hasn't started stretching, but she looks like she is getting ready to. Skywalker OG looks great as ever. She is definitely too close to the light at the top, but the rest of the canopy is comfortable at a DLI of 45. The top is around 68. Much too high. She looks great! Pistils are getting bigger and more abundant. Even on the lower bud sites, the pistils are huge and numerous. Great end to the week. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.4° RH: 54.8% VPD: 1.20

Critically correct lol seriously she smells so strong like stardawg tbh but danker 😉 and the buds are so dense already and I’m going to need to tie them tomorrow as I can see them snapping if they sway too hard with all that weight! End result I’m sure is going to be amazing!

Day 30 Feb. 18th- I feel like everything is going great -all plants are now in final 7 gallon containers..have used a lot of soil! -I have been tying the plants down as much as possible -March 2nd will be 42 days and I think that is when I will switch to 12/12 -Day 35 Feb. 24th- I need trellis netting soon I retie branches constantly for inner growth HULKBERRY and GREEN GELATO are growing similar...LSD and ROYAL GORILLA are growing similar! -Very interesting!! * I have color coated the plants like I should have a couple weeks ago -GREEN GELATO has all green pipe cleaners now...HULKBERRY has all yellow pipe cleaners. very long branches and small inner growth LSD is in all purple pipe cleaners. tying it down has done wonders! it has awesome inner growth! Now the ROYAL GORILLA in all orange pipe cleaners! This plant is a pain in the ass lol. The inner growth and spacing is insanely close!!! so many shoots all tightly together. I have tied down anything I can. Unsure how it will work in budding next week

I chopped. Fuck it. I need some more energetic high as well. When I was chopping I compare it next to fat banana. Defo clear trichioms and Fat Banana was all cloudy. Let the dry-period begin. I put that bitch inside dehydrator for few hours. Crispy buds, maybe little over-do but damn that smoke is sooooooooooo smooth, the high is soooooooo gooood. I put it inside the jar, will update on smell and taste in next few weeks. Day 5/6 curing? That shit is so good it's almost gone! The high is 50/10. 1g of that stuff makes me more high then 5g of stuff you have to pay 60 euro for. Creamy buttery vapor like freaking French toast with real butter or like croissant but without anything, just plain croissant but not the shitty one, the best one. Jesus... that weed is just too good, I have no idea why it turns like that. I thought Fat Banan gonna be bombastic but Critical turns out to be winner.

Now that you are all caught up, we are in week three a flower. I just gave them a top dress feet of Gaia green just blown because I still have just a little bit up all purpose in there but other than that I look at them every morning, give a big smile and turn on their favorite Mosark album

🇩🇪 23.-25.10. der grow läuft gut diese Seite hier läuft behindert über eine Woche könnte ich nichts updaten.(alles geht jede Seite etc. nur das updaten des diaries nicht.) deswegen auch kein Bock das jetzt alles nachzutragen. Fuck you verantwortlicher dafür das diese Seite läuft wie sie läuft und genauso den Server Betreiber!!! Update das ganze mal so das es auch funktioniert. Ich hab die letzten Wochen so oft lessen dürfen. Ooops something Broke! Wollt ihr größer werden muss das laufen sonst kann man niemanden überzeugen diese Seite zu nutzen. Weil es einfach keinen Spaß macht. 22.10. - das autopotsystem ist wieder eingeschaltet die schalen unter den Töpfen waren wieder leer. Die Töpfe haben zwar noch gut Gewicht gehabt aber da sie inzwischen immer schneller wachsen hab ich entscheiden es jetzt eingeschaltet zu lassen. Im Tank der EC ist 1,3 und pH 5,8 (für den Fall das es mit der Zeit leicht nach oben geht) Ansonsten hab ich die Triebe da wo es ging unter den Blättern hervorgeholt und die Blätter darunter geklemmt. 21.10. - die Pflanzen fangen an Gas zu geben. Die autopot Schalen sind fast leer die Töpfe sind nach wie vor schwer genug so das ich das System vermutlich erst morgen/übermorgen wieder einschalten werde. Sie sollen erstmal das verbrauchen was sie beim ersten einschalten bekommen haben und nicht dauerhaft feucht stehen. 20.10. - die Hälfte der Tank Füllung ist einfach im Topf über Nacht verschwunden am Abend waren nur noch ein paar Liter drin so das gerade so die Pumpe für die Umwälzung unten bedeckt war, dementsprechend den Tank mit 30l neu aufgefüllt. Aber erstmal abgeschaltet die Töpfe sind schwer genug. 19.10. - der Tank ist mit 20l gefüllt. Athena Nährstoffe hinzugefügt in folgender Reihenfolge Balance (10ml), Grow B (26ml), Grow A (26ml), CaMg (8ml), Cleanse (10ml), Canna pH- (7ml). Eingeschaltet und die Schalen sind voll gelaufen hoffentlich danken die Ladys es mir die kommende Woche über. Happy Growing💛🏼 . 🇬🇧 October 23-25: The grow is going well, but this site is a mess. For over a week, I haven't been able to update anything. (Everything else works, every page, etc., except updating the diary.) That's why I don't feel like adding all that now. Fuck you, whoever's responsible for this site running, and the server operator too!!! Update everything so it actually works. I've had to read so many times in the last few weeks. Oops, something's broken! If you want to grow, this has to work, otherwise you can't convince anyone to use this site. Because it's no fun. 10/22 - The Autopot system is back on. The trays under the pots were empty again. The pots still have a good weight, but since they're growing faster and faster, I decided to leave it on for now. The EC in the tank is 1.3 and the pH is 5.8 (in case it rises slightly over time). Otherwise, I've plucked the shoots out from under the leaves where possible and tucked the leaves underneath. 10/21 - The plants are starting to thrive. The Autopot trays are almost empty, and the pots are still heavy enough that I probably won't turn the system on again until tomorrow or the day after. They should use up what they received the first time i turned the System on, and not be left standing in a permanently damp place. 10/20 - Half of the tank's contents simply disappeared into the pot overnight. By evening, only a few liters remained, just enough to cover the circulation pump at the bottom. I refilled the tank with 30 liters accordingly. But I'll turn it off for now; the pots are heavy enough. 10/19 - The tank is filled to 20 liters. I added Athena nutrients in the following order: Balance (10 ml), Grow B (26 ml), Grow A (26 ml), CaMg (8 ml), Cleanse (10 ml), and Canna pH- (7 ml). I turned it on and the trays are full. I hope the ladies will thank me for this over the next week. Happy Growing💛🏼

Upgraded my grow light. Did a little LST. So far its looking good. The GG4 is really slow though. But again from my research strains like this start slow but they are robust in the stretching phase soooo I will let her do her thing. On to the next week.

4 weeks cure buds@54% RH Smoke report: Smooth smoke, at inhale we got a subtle sweetness rolling over the back of the tongue with under it a slight herby flavor, immediate a warmness goes to the head Then the pine/herbs taste start to take the lead at the exhale which is very pronounced.

Thank you. Growing cannabis is an art that seems to evolve as you learn it. While it may only take a little knowledge to get started, It seems that this may take a life-time to perfect (doubt I'll ever make that category, but I will certainly try). So thank-you to the community that Shares, Comments, Follows, and Likes. Your efforts in any of these actions make these journals a worth-while and perfect way for us all to learn and track our efforts. I personally appreciate it. Also a huge Thanks has to go out to Grow Diaries for making this community even possible. Your efforts to supply the data storage alone is more than enough, but you the fact that you dont stop there and constantly try to improve the experience even more makes this my favorite community to to share on. And then lastly, but certainly not least, a heartfelt Thank-you to Royal Queen Seeds for your branding/research while making these seeds available to people like me. It gives me confidence in knowing that I am working with great genetics before I even start my grow. ---------------------------- Germination Start and incubation period 3/12/24 to 3/26/24 Transfer Day to Veg Day 6 3/27 to 4/2 Germination: First note was about the appearance of the seeds. They were smaller than I am used to seeing, but no damage or deformities and look to be in good shape. Germination took 14 days from dropping in water to transplanting into 1 gallon pots. 23hours in a glass of 6.3ph room temp RO water. 2 cracked open a little and I placed them both in paper towels wet with the glass water and pasted to the sides of the glass for 2 days then checked, no progress. So I freshened the water then waited another 2 days and checked, little to no progress. Then checked again 1 day later and finally was able to move them. One looked fully ready and the other seemed less ready. I placed in rapid rooter pods and closed with toothpick tips. 1 popped out of the pods in 1 day but the other did not. So I gave it 1 more day and started my spare seed. After 4 days of water and towels I replaced the dead pod with a growing sprout. Transplant occurred on 3/27 Veg Day 0 to 6 1gal hard tall pots. Transplant went well. The sprouts are smaller than I would like and seem to be stubborn in growth to start but hoping htat changes with soil. One pod was overgrown in the pods and Im hoping it doesn't reflect in the overall plant production. Video: Transplant ease. Transplant to 1 gal pots: I am using a 50/50, 50%perlite/50%soil with a .5lb of dolomite lime and a .5ml of flora micro added to .5 gallon of RO water (Im mixing 2 gallons of soil total so the water to soil ratio is 1/4 of the total medium volume) to achieve a soil tested ph of 6.4. I am using a 50/50 soil/perlite mix because I plan to use these in auto pots. I also used about 1 cup of the same soil mix water to pour around the plant after transplant; you can see how the perlite rises to the top where I did this. I sprayed two domes and covered - I plan to leave covered for the first week. Feed: I kept them under the domes and sprayed every day that I didnt feed them, to keep humidity up while I let them find water in the soil. By the end of the week I took the domes off and took pictures. Feed this week was another 1 cup of 6.3ph water 5 days after transplant. Feed plan next week will increase the amount to 2 cups of plain-no-nute water with about 4 days between feeds. I want to see the water run through so if I need to use more than 2 cups I will. The idea is to water deep and through, but then make them search for more before the next feed, hopefully spreading the roots out while doing it. Veg Plan: I plan on 8 colas for each plant. So that will be 3 topping days and a total of 7 cuts. I will want to cut the first time on day 21 if I have 5+ nodes. I will transfer to 5 gallon auto pots with-in 1 week of the first topping. Once I have 3 nodes of new growth past the first topping, I will top those two branches to the first node again. (that's 3 cuts total by this point) Then, after 3 new nodes of growth after that, I will do a last topping on the 4 branches. (4 new cuts added to make a total of 7 cuts and 8 colas) I will train the branches using LST/HST with tie downs as soon as I can after the first topping day to help maintain the branches growing where I want them to. I will also introduce an adjustable tomato ring after they have settled into the 5 gallon forever pots to provide support and mobility Hopefully all goes well, and I will have 1 to 2 weeks of growth before flip after week 8. I think it sounds more ambitious than it really is, but if you follow this journal, we will see together.
