Double Skywalkers

I harvested both the Skywalkers on Day 71 in the end, so just a shade over 10 weeks. I think they could have gone a bit longer, but a situation arose where I needed to get the job done and honestly, I would probably have harvested them that weekend anyway. The grow has been fantastic really, I loved these plants and they were no problems at all to run, so I'm looking forward to getting them dried and ready to smoke! Overall the buds are not as dense as I was expecting, but the smell is beautiful and they're covered in crystals. >> HARVEST AND TRIM << Really surprised by the weights, being so similar between the two plants! Despite Skywalker A growing a little taller eventually, both were more or less exactly the same, but both were pretty good and I'm very happy with the outcome. Trim for these was pretty easy, there wasn't too much in the way of large fan leaves to go, but there was quite a lot of tiny sugar leaves that were difficult to really trim off the bud, which makes the final trim look a bit leafy still. Overall though, really happy with the weights from the two plants and think they both did pretty well! Everything took a little over 7 days to dry, hung up on the stems in 18-21C temps and 45-50% humidity. >> DRY BUD REPORT << I was pretty surprised by the final weight is quite high! The wet weight had a lot of stems, so I was expecting to lose quite a lot, but bang on 108g or 4oz dry is pretty good all told! The bud feels a little airy and a bit leafy. The Mephisto strain guide says a lot about Skywalker buds being very dense, but both these came out not quite like that, maybe it was my lights, who knows. Overall though the buds are looking good, quite small but a lot of flowers, covered in crystals and it has a really lovely, almost fresh smell compared to a lot of weed I've grown in the past. Very floral and pleasant even. Probably my second favourite smelling weed ever, just behind Lemon Pie. >> EARLY SMOKE << A little bit harsh, as to be expected, but a great relaxing body stone already and feels a bit kush-y. Definitely an Indica dominant type of stone and I think this will make a fantastic late evening smoke once it's cured a little and had the edge taken off. >> FINAL THOUGHTS << Probably one of my all-time favourite grows, I'd love to grow this again. It was fun watching Skywalker B bounce back from its dodgy, mutated start and come up to a really lovely looking plant with actually a little extra weight over A in the end. The outcome was decent. Probably the only thing I think sucked a little was the leaf discolouration towards the end, though I think that could be easily solved with a couple of flushes throughout the grow, about week 5 and again in say week 7 or 8, just to clear out some of that buildup in the soil and prevent pH issues. As always, thanks for following, take care and grow well x
