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.

Week 6 / flowering Everything is looking good so far. The plants are stacking weight nicely and there are no major nutrient lockout issues at the moment. The next couple of weeks will be all about keeping things balanced and not pushing them too hard before flush week.There was a minor heat-stress burn during a temperature spike, but it’s under control now. The purple colors from the genetics are starting to come through on some phenos, which is great to see.

She has become a beautiful little bush full of fat dense nuggets completely covered in fruity and sweet resin glands with some purple no tones in the buds. Love It!

****She's now Eleven weeks old, I water her 5L a day with with 5ml/L Terra Bloom . The co2 will stay 1600 ppm .Week 12 starts (2/02/2025) tomorrow .Im still aint using a heater on my attic so Im now using less electricity then my growths. She growth again approx 4cm in bud height in one week so im happy .Wish you all a nice Sunday and hope that you will have a nice week a front of you ! 🙏😘♥️💚♥️💚♥️ ** Hello everyone! I am proud to announce that I have been asked to grow a seed of choice from Zamnesia. My choice fell on the Tropicana Cookies Autoflower (Zamnesia Seeds) feminized strain. Strain info https://www.zamnesia.com/10922-zamnesia-seeds-tropicana-cookies-automatic.html I hope you will enjoy this new grow just like I will do. Let's set another record for this strain, just like with the previous strain.👌 ENVIROMENT: **It took her seven days to poke her head above the ground. It's probably my fault, because I was impatient and planted her too soon, as she hadn't even reached half an inch of root. All in all, she looks healthy, and I'm happy with the result. I'll be more patient in the future, but I was too enthusiastic to start a new diary after a five-month absence from GD 😅😅** Light schedule : 24/0 Humidity : 50% Soilmoisture : 42% Temp : 26 Celsius Who am i ? I have always grown hydro for a little over 11 years. But growing started to look more and more like work because i was more busy with programming my controllers for the ph / humidity / lights / co2 / temperature. Also the realization that i have 2 children and my own house made me nervous for the authorities because where i live growing is not allowed. So i decided to grow smaller where i previously had 200x180x200 space i opted for 70x70x160 with the result that i can only grow 1 strain at a time. The intention is to remain self-sufficient in this way and still be able to exchange or give away something here and there at a party. Although I am sponsored I will not be able to grow every strain because not every strain can deliver the result I need to remain self-sufficient. If you know of an auto strain or photo strain that takes at least 11 to 15 weeks I would like to know so that I can grow it in the future and of course I will try to set a record for that grown strain. Because during the 4 grows that I can do per year I can only try to achieve a record since I cannot show you multiple strains at once. I am happy that after 11 years I have found growdiaries and that I have met you my friends.Greetings MonyetDiablero.

June 21 Fed less than a half gallon of water yesterday evening. Getting really big now! Gonna step up the LST to help keep the size managed.

So here we are: the seed sprouted after three days and was effectively born on Christmas Day, 25th December. 25 Dec – Day 1 Sprouted! - Temperature: 23 °C - Light cycle: 18/6 - Light intensity: 25 % → 17 W (measured with Tapo app) - PPFD: ~180 - Humidity: 80 % 27 Dec – Day 3 - Temperature: 19–22 °C - Humidity: 70–80 % (Humid Pro set to 75 %, step 2) - Growth: healthy, slightly leggy - Added small amount of soil for stem support - Watered approx. 150 ml + light misting - Water contained very small traces of BioBizz Grow, Alg-A-Mic, and CalMag - pH: 6.1 - Measured plant height (before soil addition): ~7 cm - Approx. 3 cm of stem later buried in soil - Light distance: 30 cm - Light: 25 % → 17 W 28 Dec – Day 4 - Light distance: 28 cm - Light cycle: 19/5 - Added approx. 2 L additional soil, leaving seedling ~2 cm above soil surface - Soil mix: BioBizz Light Mix + ½ tsp rock dust + ½ tsp INOQ 1001 Mycorrhiza + Perlite + Vermiculite - First single-finger leaves started growing - Light watering - pH: 6.1 - Visible plant height after soil addition: ~2 cm - Estimated total stem length: partially buried, ~7–9 cm 29 Dec – Day 5 - Single-finger leaves continuing to grow - Overall condition: healthy, compact 30 Dec – Day 6 - Installed Vivosun AeroFlux W70 heater - Previous days: temperature occasionally dropped near 18 °C, avg around 20 °C, now with the heater I hope to achieve better conditions - Heater set to 24 °C - Humidifier set to 70 %

I have noticed quite a lot going on in this little 4x4 tent. I am a bit upset with the burnt tips on every purple lemonade. I got CAL-MAG to strengthen the cell walls and prevent any future burns, but I was a bit late for that and the damage was done. Although there are burnt tips I'm still happy with how far along they have come and you don't learn if you don't experience it first hand. Happy growings my fellow weedlings 🌱 🌳🌸🤓🖖.

All seems fine 😉

08/26/2019 Week 4 of flowering gonna give 5-10-5 last dose and she what she does, hope it helps put on some weight cause she is looking a little bit smaller than I hoped for, but she smelling like sweet candied OG.

Vean el video que comenten porque se secaron las hojas???

I’m adding a timer to my exhaust fan so it won’t be running 24/7 I’ll set it to exhaust the dry room every 3 hours for a half hr. I have my dehumidifier running in there so it’s not going to get above the set level. My only concern is mold, considering I only ever lose a few grams each harvest from mold I figure I should be safe if my humidity stays under 50 from here on. Would have went a lot smoother if everything was done the same day because the humidity would gradually go down on its own while the buds dry out however I have been adding plants as they finish causing timing to be off. Would have liked to just check them every few days. Now I’ll have to check them daily knowing some will be dry before others. Bright side is that gives me a break from trimming. It’s only me trimming so it’s going to take me a while. Roughly 25 plants each with a few ounces so I hope it’s only around 2000 grams to trim by myself

We are halfway through flowering and everything looks great, just 4-6 more weeks and we cut El olor es bueno y la densidad de los cogollos igualmente

Giorno 36 - ho sistemato meglio l’apicale rinforzando con nastro di carta e mettendo il sostegno di gomma sotto. Vedremo nei prossimi giorni come si evolve la situazione. Ho dato 1 lt di acqua a testa in irrigazione Giorno 37 - L’apicale sembra stare decisamente meglio, ogni volta si stacca dal sostegno e cerca di andare verso la luce. Giorno 38 - ho dato 1litro di acqua a testa in irrigazione, domani alzerò i dosaggi di fertilizzanti a 1ml/lt per ognuno Giorno 39 - ho dato 1litro (0,5 l a testa) di fertilizzanti in quantità (1ml/L di bio grow, bio bloom e top max), vediamo come reagiscono le piante Giorno 40 - il terreno é ancora umido, irrigherò domani, sembra abbiano reagito bene alla dose in più di fertilizzanti che ho dato ieri Giorno 41 - ho dato 1litro di acqua a testa perché una delle due aveva le foglie totalmente abbassate, verificherò tra qualche ora se si é ripresa Giorno 42 - stanotte alle 3 le foglie di una erano completamente abbassate di nuovo, il terreno é umido quindi non ho irrigato, credo che annaffierò domani
