Skywalker OG — Harvest / Trim / Cure Part 1 — The Giants Begin First of all, we want to apologize once again for dividing this harvest series into multiple parts. But honestly… there was simply no other way to do this properly. This Skywalker OG run became massive. Not just in terms of plant size and harvest weight, but also in documentation, photos, observations, and the amount of details we wanted to properly share with everybody following this journey. So instead of rushing everything into one overloaded update, we decided to divide the: * harvest * trimming * drying * curing * and smoke review into three, maybe even four different reports. Mainly because we are dealing with: three huge plants all with slightly different expressions, structures, and personalities. And honestly? These girls deserve proper attention. ⸻ Quick Recap — 12/12 From Seed This entire run was done: 12/12 from seed with almost no training at all. No topping. No aggressive manipulation. No heavy canopy control. Mostly: * gentle leaf bending * small adjustments * minor defoliation * and simply opening light paths where needed The rest? We allowed the plants themselves to decide. To grow naturally. To express themselves freely. To shape their own structure. And what they became honestly surprised us. ⸻ Legends Of The 12/12 Galaxy These plants did not become extremely tall. Instead… they became monsters horizontally and structurally. Massive production. Heavy flowers everywhere. Dense stacking all across the branches. Everywhere you looked: * colas * side branches * swollen flowers * branches collapsing under their own weight Support or no support… it honestly barely mattered. These girls were simply too heavy. The branches kept bunching, leaning, and dropping from pure flower mass alone. Exactly the kind of “problem” growers love having. ⸻ The Fade One thing we absolutely loved during the final weeks was watching the senescence develop naturally. Toward the end, these plants received mostly: * water * enzymes * patience And they faded beautifully. The yellows. The pale greens. The autumn-like transitions. The dying fan leaves surrounding swollen flowers. It gave the room this incredible “end of season” energy. The plants truly looked finished. Not forced. Not rushed. Just naturally reaching the end of their cycle. And visually? Beautiful. ⸻ The Flowers Honestly… these flowers are ridiculous. Huge colas all over the plant. Top colas. Side colas. Lower colas. Everywhere. And dense. Very dense. The kind of flowers where even holding them lightly leaves resin on your fingers instantly. You can see it in the photos too: our hands next to the flowers almost look small beside some of these colas. And we don’t exactly have tiny hands. The stacking came out incredibly effective too. No wasted structure. No airy towers. Just thick, compact, greasy flowers from top to bottom. Exactly the type of structure we hoped Skywalker OG would give us. ⸻ Harvest Day So finally… week 14 from seed arrived. And it was time. We harvested the first giant. And honestly, carrying this girl into the studio already felt surreal. Huge branches. Massive colas. Beautiful fading colors. Trichomes absolutely covering the flowers. Most of the trichomes sat exactly where we personally like them: * mostly cloudy * a touch of amber * and still a few clears remaining Because honestly? It is impossible to have every single trichome perfectly identical at once. And this specific harvest window gives us the balance we personally enjoy most: * potency * terpene expression * complexity * and overall effect balance Not too early. Not too late. Right in that beautiful middle ground. ⸻ Charas & Resin One thing that immediately stood out during harvest was how absurdly sticky these plants were. Simply removing fan leaves and touching flowers started building resin layers onto the gloves almost instantly. And naturally… we started collecting charas. For people unfamiliar: charas is a traditional hand-rubbed cannabis resin made directly from fresh living or freshly harvested plants. Unlike dry sift or ice water hash, charas comes purely from physically collecting the resin through contact and friction. And honestly? We absolutely love this type of medicine. There’s something incredibly old-school and ritualistic about it. Sticky. Greasy. Dark. Aromatic. Almost alive in texture. Very different from the finger hash we’ll later collect during dry trimming sessions. Fresh charas feels softer, oilier, richer, and incredibly expressive terpene-wise. This Skywalker OG produced beautiful charas too. Easy to collect. Very greasy. Very resin-heavy. Exactly the kind of resin that instantly tells you: “This plant is loaded.” ⸻ Full Plant Drying After harvest, we decided once again to dry the plants whole. Entire plant hanging. All of them. We personally love this method because it slows the drying process slightly and helps preserve: * terpenes * moisture balance * aroma complexity * and overall flower quality This first plant will now dry roughly: 7–10 days under: * 18–20°C * ~60% RH Although during the first couple of days we intentionally lower humidity closer to: ~45% RH mainly because these plants are extremely large and dense. And with flowers this thick, we prefer removing the initial excess surface moisture a bit faster to reduce risks of unwanted issues like: * trapped moisture * stagnant humidity pockets * or bud rot After that initial phase, conditions stabilize again for slower drying and proper curing preparation. ⸻ What Comes Next The next reports will continue covering: * the remaining Skywalker OG plants * their individual structures * harvest observations * drying progress * trimming sessions * cure * and eventually full smoke reviews All while still staying within this same harvest week timeline. Because honestly? Each plant deserves its own spotlight. And each one brought something special to the room. ⸻ Thank You Huge thanks once again to everybody following this journey. To the growers. To the silent viewers. To the curious minds. To the old followers. To the new followers. To the skeptics. To the lovers. To the people stopping by for just a few seconds. To the breeders at Zamnesia behind these genetics. To Plagron for the nutrients. To Future Of Grow and Lumiflora for the LEDs helping drive this jungle. To everybody creating the gear, tools, and spaces that allow growers like us to keep learning and sharing openly. And especially to the growing community itself. Because without growers sharing knowledge with growers… none of this culture survives. From grower to growers. Skywalker OG harvest series officially begins. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Some mild defoliation this week. Budding up nicely and starting to frost. This girl was having a foliar feed of algae last week but this week she's getting light foliar sprays of the Lacalva stress treatment from madame grow on top of her other feed. I'll do this every 2/3 mornings and I'll only lightly mist the top. I'll concentrate most of my foliar feed on the lower growth and undersides, away from the buds. This is the main reason I kept so many lower fan leaves this time.

* ********* Week 11 - June 20 to 26, 2020 - Days 71 to 77 from germination *********** * It is the end of flush week and she went into darkness on Wednesday night, day 75, for two days. Saturday will be harvest day and start and the dry process👍 This week she continued to fill in and she also pushed out more frosty tricombs!! The fade happened this week more and she fed off of more of the nutrients within the plant.....perfect😃......would like a little more even but she was ready based on tricombs. Would like to have seen the lower leaves a little more yellow but its good. I am feeling very strongly that the big part of the pH issues this run was a change in feed water. I have always used bottled RO water for all my grows, except outdoors, but this grow I switched to tap water. Dechlorinated the water with air stone and gave it 24 hours min before using. Wanted to save some money and tired of lugging bottles downstairs a couple of times a week☹️ This is worked out nicely and a lot more convenient. However, the city must be putting some crap in the water that is causing issues in my media and raises the pH after the watering. Out of the tap it is 8.4pH and 275ppm. Since ppm were not too bad in my opinion I moved forward without filtering the water.......oops🤬🤬🤬 Out of options on what is causing the issue, I switched back to RO water late last week........all the girls are happier!!!! F......missed the cause for weeks. Always learning from this plant and my own mistakes to get better every run😉👍 Also wanted to add a little more stress to girl to help push out some increased resin. I drilled a 5/16” hole into the main stem to cause her stress. I did this rather than trying to break a branch and will see it goes this run. Sterilized a new bit in Alcohol and went for it. They went into darkness about a couple of hours later. Excited to see what happens when she comes out to get chopped😃😃 Not really a lot more to add this week as it was mainly looking at the tricombs and her buds. The pH will impact the harvest but she has been fun to grow and very resilient to pest and bug issues as well as grower curve balls. As always.......nice job Sweet Seeds....... SWS56 is very solid and I look forward to running her again one day. Beautiful little girl and makes me smile😃😃😃 Little more detail...... June 20/20 - Day 71 - Rezin and Liquid Weight @ 2ml/L = 285ppm and 4.0pH - 8L given to get a good flush....pH still running around 7.4 - Runoff in pots already were 7.9pH and 685ppm. - after 8L water runoff was 7.4pH and 360ppm. - she is 20” tall and 24” wide. - a number of clear tricombs but more becoming cloudy. June 21/20 - Day 72 - dry out day. - buds are firming up......squeezed a couple🧐 June 22/20 - Day 73 - Rezin @ 1ml/L = 120ppm and pH the water to 2.7!!!!!!!!! - Given 2L watering. - No runoff water and I am good with that as I want the low pH water to stay in the medium. - her frost levels are really coming out now.....was able to lower tent temps to 75 degrees and 51% humidity......its been raining a bit so damn humidity has been high. June 23/20 - Day 74 - 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 2.4!!!!!! - not excited about these crazy low pH numbers but doing what we can - her tops are getting more pointy now and ripening nicely - leaves continue to fade......she is close - checking tricombs, I think we are done and tomorrow will be her last day so that I can take down on Saturday. June 24/20 - Day 75 - 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 3.0 - Going into darkness tonight so this was her last bit of moisture. - drilled a hole into the stem.....was going to do a couple of holes but not trying this method before I decided to leave it with one hole. - into darkness tonight So we finish up the week with her in the dark. Next update will be the harvest!! Thanks very much for taking the time to review my diary!! Sorry for running behind often on this run.........everyone has had a busy life the last couple of months in the world and its been no different here...........a huge Kudos to all the Growmie‘s that are able to keep up with their diaries on daily basis on GrowDiaries.......its a commitment😃👍👍 Sweet Seeds girls are very solid genetics with great vigour and resilience.......this strain is no different........great job Sweet Seeds🙏

78 dias de vida hace dos semanas que empezaron la floración la 1051 esta mucho mas avanzada que sus hermanas han sacado un lado genetico más sativo y van a tardar mucho mas en cogollar en general esta todo bien, ha sido temporada de lluvias, tormentas y hay una humedad constante el clima no ayuda, en el mediterraneo siempre en final de temporada vienen lluvias y hay que pelear con el tiempo para poder sacar buenos resultados y evitar plagas

So this week we started with her signals of pre-flowering. It still far from the development that the other plants achieved, but since this is my first time ever growing plant, it's quite possible that I committed some mistakes that cause this low pace process. Hopefully, it will be good from this point forward!

jours 5 pour les filles

Short of lengthy description, I've narrated this short video to the seed Breeder. I will followup on this one she will be harvested by years end.

They are doing well.

12/08/2020 Going to pot them up this week and then more pics and info.

The #1 has pretty thick and stone hard buds. The #2 is getting more dense, and is covered in crystals! She smells very citrussy aswell!

What an incredible journey this has been! From start to finish, these plants dazzled at every stage. The drying process was a bit of a marathon – 21 days of suspense. But now, they are absolutely perfect. They snapped off the stems with a satisfying crunch – straight into my rolling paper for, ahem, "quality control" purposes. I'm beyond excited to have 2 more seeds ready for the future. Though I won't be growing them in my next round, I can't wait to see what they'll do next time. These gorgeous ladies have rewarded me with a whopping 248 grams dry! I'm in absolute weed heaven. Now comes the hard part – keeping my hands off while they cure and reach their full potential. My trusty humidor will help make sure they become everything they're meant to be. Here's to a fantastic harvest and many more green adventures ahead! 🌿🎉

Very strong bud growth this week! I have 1 out of the five that its quite a bit ahead of the others, I will post a photo of her main cola. Otherwise, they are looking fantastic. Smelling amazing also. Today is day 77. So the end of week 11. Looking forward to going to space on these mango beauty's! Introduced them to black strap molasses tonight in their feeding. Ph water to 6.2 with 5ml of mollases per gallon. This will be my first go with mollases, hoping it helps build bud density!

And this girl is done. She faded a lot during the last few weeks.

Snow Panda from Atlas seeds is doing very good has started getting some good growth after being topped an has been growing happy an healthy under this medic grow fold 6 an she has been loving the cultured biologix nutrients Ending week 4 the Snow Panda has started shooting up with growth under this medic grow fold 6 she has been loving her nutrients from cultured biologix as shes been flourishing an looking great

Fertilizers and water alteration still looks as a good solution. It seems to me now that applying LST was a mistake because there is really not enough space in the tent and Bruce Banner has not even started flowering.

I've been struggling to keep the temperature under 29° They have been drinking a lot of water. Besides everything, they are healthy and growing well
