Buds are starting to get really fat on 3 of the 4 plants. No amber on the trichomes yet so it will be a few more weeks till harvest at a minimum. The one that did the most stretching is just starting to thicken up on the buds. Been having issues with my drainage system causing a bit flooding in my tent. I see a few signs of deficiencies on one of the plants but I can't properly have access to it to see what is going on. The 4x4 tent has proven to be just too small for these thicc ladies. After this grow I'll be getting a much bigger tent. Any recommendations?

I grew 3 plants 2 grew well but stalled due to water and lighting at back of a cold tent once this was sorted all grew within there height range which is small and compact with my 6.5 liter pot range 8n biobizz all mix with mycorrhizal added. This is my first ever grow and the genetics wowed me i took a lot of info in about autoflowering plants and the 2 main things that run true are pot size and reduce feed as autoFlowering plants need less due to restricted height although I saw amazing growth in 3rd -6 weeks this if you dial in could increase your yields. The plants had a mild floral berry smell during early stages and kept this smell allways through. Once in bloom they grew vigours and buds oozed resin . There colour are truly amazing I have 2 dark plants that changed colours! And 1 tall lilac plant that too on its amazing colour during late Flowering planted in cold weather these came through sweet looking. Final weight on last plant #2 dry buds in sugar leaf I leave on is 12.6 grams there still 2 lower branches I've tried to seed with her hermI pollen

Nachts hin und wieder mal den Heizlüfter genutzt um auf 20grad zu heizten. Die Damen wurden die ersten Nächte im WG leider noch vom tv Licht der Eltern bestrahlt (hätte ich drauf kommen müssen hab’s einfach ausgebelendet), und so ist ein bisschen Stress aufgetreten in Form von verlangsamten Wachstum und manche Knollen weisen einzelne Samen auf, habe allerdings bis jetzt nur 5stk gefunden auf alle 4 pflanzen verteilt. Habe Wintergarten zum Haus hin mit Leinen abgehangen. Waren ca 3 Abende bis ca 12uhr bestrahlt. Das umschalten hat ca 7 tage gebraucht. Die Damen setzen jetzt alle samt die knollenstände zu!😇☮️

Here’s my try at lemon pie from Fastbuds, of the 3 beans I got 1 displayed traits of ruderalis is her fan leaves and stretched to 4 ft tall. The bud structure is a little fluffy but smells great and is a good stone. I would cultivate it again and I would recommend a scrog and not to put them too close together.

Day 99.. Wow that's alot of days lol.. Colas can't even stand up.. Buds are sooo dense.. She smells fruity when you squeeze a nug.. Hopefully more amber trichomes in 7 days.. Does anybody know if the trichomes change on a week to week basis.. Or can they change on a day to day basis? Or does it take 30 days to notice any change? I hope somebody can answer that for me in the comments.. Anyways.. This is the last 7 days of her life.. Not going to do any of that 48 hours darkness crap cuz honestly I think it's BS.. But maybe I'm wrong.. I just didnt notice any difference when I let one plant stay under light for 48 hours more while I put another plant in complete darkness.. Didnt even check on her.. And yeah.. Nothing really changed as far as I could tell and both ladies got me just as stoned.. So I choose not to do the darkness stuff.. But I do stop watering and let the medium dry out so I can also remove the rootball and check it out during harvest without having to worry about wet medium when I do it.. Lol *** I ordered the 2 bags of organic dry amendments of Earth Dust.. I requested a refund before it was even shipped. They refunded my money and 2 days later still SHIPPED the 2 bags of Earth Dust Organic Dry Amendments.. They claim 1 mix of the soil for the seedling.. 1 top dress for bloom transition and 1 more top dress of bloom till harvest*** I'm guessing they mean autoflower? What if you double the length of veg for a photoperiod? Can you top dress the veg once more? ***Thegreensunshinecompany dot com*** Wanted to try it out but changed my mind.. But I got my money back and the product.. Guess Ill try it out if they want me to so bad lol.. Day 100.. Took some pics of trichomes and found these things that look like seeds.. My last 2 autos had these too. There is no way.. I dont see any nanners.. Or male flowers at all.. I disected one.. I dont think its a seed.. Yet at least.. Maybe like the egg waiting to get pollinated?? No idea lol.. Anybody else got 2 cents on that?? Day 103.. Almost there!!! The trichomes haven't changed much.. She smells very skunky.. Also very very sticky. Colas are just floppin around all over the place lol. This is the first plant I've grown that has had colas too heavy for the branches.. What a great issue to have tho! The calyxes have purpled alot.. I removed alot of little leaves that were crispy and ready to fall off.. Not many leaves to work with thanks to her very high calyx to leaf ratio! Purple, stinky, sticky buds.. I can't wait!!!!... Almost freaking there!!!..... Later... I removed alot of leaves that were just dying off.. And took more pics lol.. 2 more days and 1 night.. Then harvesting her.. If you look close enough you can actually see a few amber trichomes glistening in the video toward the end some.. Gorgeous, gorgeous plant..... Day 104... Almost almost ALMOST FREAKING THERE!!!..... Day 105.. Got alot of trichome pics.. So beautiful.. She will be harvested on day 107.. Might do the 48 hours of darkness.. But ai dont want her to dry out too much.. I want to make sure she gets alot of days drying before curing.. Everything seems to be lined up perfect woth this girly.. I wonder if I could even let her go another week.. But my patience wont let that happen lol.. I almost harvested beginning of this week lol.. She is going to be perfect!!! Day 106.. Yeah I know.. this should have started week 16.. But Im harvesting tomorrow.. If I didn't have work I would have harvested today.. Maybe I should have tried atleast 24 hours of darkness.. Meh.. Whatever.. She is still gonna be dank as fuck regardless! So colorful! So stinky! So sticky!!!.. I can't wait till tomorrow.. So excited! Sucks that I can't smoke it after its dry.. But that's just more bud to savor after the cure!!! Anyways.. She comes down tomorrow! Got my cardboard box ready! Same box I used for the White Widow Auto from ILGM I harvested a couple months ago.. She is pretty exquisite herself!!! So excited.. So so excited!!!...

Hello everyone. Another week passed, gave her water and some enzimes on day 33, I noticed some leaf intervenal discoloration, not too concerning in my opinion. Maybe the enzimes were too much or some nutrient lock out due to a somewhat excessive fertilization. Any opinion on this issue? I think will go on with plain water to the end I think, hoping the problem will sort out itself. What do you think? Other then that I think buds oare forming fast and fine, she's putting out a little resin and smell now. Ciao 😊

🌱 Skywalker OG — Week 3 VEG Report 12/12 from seed | Vegetative phase ongoing General Overview Week 3 of vegetative growth ends with Skywalker OG performing exceptionally well. Both plants are growing in near-perfect sync, once again showing that environmental consistency is doing the heavy lifting here. Despite being grown in different containers (plastic pots vs Pro-Mix bags), there is no visible difference in growth rate, structure, or vigor. Rhythm, height, and development remain aligned — true twins in motion. Growth this week has been fast, confident, and clean. Growth & Structure • Stage: Vegetative • Flowering signs: None observed • Node count: ~6 nodes • Growth habit: Compact, fast, very controlled • Internodal spacing: Tight • Leaf development: Large fan leaves, dominant canopy At this stage, Skywalker OG is clearly prioritizing leaf mass and photosynthetic surface over branch elongation. Branches are present but still relatively short compared to leaf size — a classic sign of a plant building energy reserves before structural expansion. There are a few funky leaf expressions here and there — small personality traits rather than problems. Nothing concerning, nothing progressive, and nothing that requires correction. No training has been applied so far. ⸻ Container Comparison — Pot vs Pro-Mix Bag An important observation this week: There is no meaningful difference in growth between the plastic pot and the Pro-Mix bag. Both plants: • Grow at the same pace • Maintain similar height • Express similar leaf size and color This reinforces that, at this stage, root environment is equally supportive in both setups under these conditions. ⸻ Training Outlook While no training has been done yet, Week 3 observations suggest that training may begin next week to encourage lower branch development. The idea is not to force growth, but to: • Balance canopy dominance • Promote lower branch exposure • Prepare structure early and gently For now, observation continues. ⸻ 📸 Photo & Video Documentation This week includes both photos and a short video captured during the photo session. During the session, content from My Cheap Home Grow was playing in the background — a YouTube channel focused on home growing, sharing practical experience, open discussion, and solid grow knowledge. It’s a great resource with: • Passionate growers • Real-world setups • Honest learning environments If you’re into growing and learning from others, it’s definitely worth checking out. https://www.youtube.com/@cheaphomegrow7096 ⸻ Environment — Room Conditions (Week 3) • Photoperiod: 12/12 from seed • Day temperature: ~26 °C • Night temperature: ~18 °C • Relative Humidity: 60–65% • VPD: In optimal vegetative range • Airflow: Gentle, constant, non-stressful • Solution temperature: ~21 °C • Substrate temperature: ~21 °C Environmental stability remains consistent across the room. ⸻ 💡 Lighting • PPFD: ~600–700 (adjusted to plant size) • Plants continue to grow naturally into the light • No stretch, no light stress ⸻ 💧 Watering & Nutrition • pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.0 Nutrient program: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal Foliar: • Vita Race • Used selectively and intentionally Nutrition continues to support strong vegetative growth, lush color, and clean metabolism. ⸻ 🔍 What to Expect / What Not to Expect (Next Week) What to expect: • Continued vegetative expansion • Larger fan leaves • Potential start of gentle training • Increased lower-branch response once canopy opens What not to expect (yet): • No flowering initiation • No stretch explosion • No need to increase EC or push inputs Patience and observation remain the focus. ⸻ Final Thoughts Skywalker OG closes Week 3 as fast, lush, and confident. Tight internodes, big leaves, and twin-like behavior across different containers confirm that conditions are dialed in and the plants are comfortable. No rush. No force. Just strong foundations being built.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

Week 1 (17-6 to 23-6) 17-6 Temps: 23.8 to 27.8 degrees Humidity: 46% to 74% Watering: 70 ml. 18-6 Temps: 24.4 to 28.1 degrees Humidity: 56% to 75% 19-6 Temps: 23.1 to 26.9 degrees Humidity: 53% to 69% 20-6 Temps: 23.4 to 27.7 degrees Humidity: 46% to 73% Watering: 76 ml. 21-6 Temps: 23.4 to 27.8 degrees Humidity: 46% to 82% 22-6 Temps: 24.2 to 28.2 degrees Humidity: 53% to 76% 23-6 Temps: 24.9 to 29.1 degrees Humidity: 45% to 76% Watering: 84 ml. She is quite a stretcher, but seems very happy. My baseline for the 20W light is a minimum of 10 cm distance, but it looks like she will hug the light soon 😂 Hopefully she wont become a pain in the ass 😅

Chopped on day 84, dried for 8 days. Dry weight: 5.46 OZ (152.8 grams) Smells great, now it's time to cure. The trim job was easy as well with the structure of the plant/buds.

1/15-Started developing yellow/brown spots last week. Gave first feeding of FF Trio at 1/3 strength a couple days ago but she's continuing to look worse. More spots, lack of color and droopy leaves.

Hello Canna Fam Firstly thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my diary entry. So week 9 has come to an end and the ladies are slowly stacking on the buds. There is a bit of either calcium, manganese or magnesium deficiency after the late flowering gorilla glue finished her stretch but I think I have managed to correct the problem. Some of the buds on the LSD-25 seem to be foxtailing, possibly due to light stress and being so close to CMH light. The trichome production is really starting to build nicely and I will start to flush in a weeks time for 2 weeks, therefore pushing the ladies to 12 or 13 weeks before harvest. The late flowering Gorilla Glue will most likely only be ready to harvest in another 4-5 weeks. Thanks again and happy growing✌️🏼
