9 weeks from sprout. Week 3 in flower. Everything's going smooth.. i think. Had degrees up mid 90s for a couple days and plugged in the ac. My bedroom is cold as fuck now which has my closet ranging from 77 at night to 81 during the day. I really don't want any colder than that. They are starting to smell jus a little more these past three days. At first i didn't smell them unless i touched em for the most part. Ppms staying between 2000 and 2300... Playing the damn waiting game. I got some free time tomorrow. Maybe ill take some of them close up glam-style shots of some buds starting to form.

Hey guys, allot happened this week. Mid week on Wednesday I did a major heavy defoliation, she was very bush and allot of internode growth. I clean up everything and allowed more light pen. Also nipped any undesired off growths. Shaping how I want the plant to grow. Basically lollipoping. As you can see I also started to install 4x 1/2 bamboo sticks to help support the plant once she gets bigger. I had problems last year late into flower and don't want to repeat same mistake. I also amended the pots with 70/30 ratio of 444 to 284 @ 2tbs/gal. Iv only water once in the past 7 days with the Aquabak. Not enough data to review the product. We will see. Other than that we have had plentiful thunderstorms and have not required to water. Thanks to the felt pots, they did not get flooded with the amount of rain we got. Prolly 50-100mm worth of rain. Thanks for updates. Enjoy the photos and vids

Hi growers, so we're now in week 7 and the red poison is definitely winning in terms of speed, she looks and smell gorgeous, i reckon 2 more weeks. The purple lemonade is taken longer than usual but alls good, she is starting to turn pink/light purple which im excited to see. And for the bcn critical, she's small but it looks like she'll have some bih nuggs. Overall, im happy with the progress, if anyone has any pointers or notices that I'm doing it wrong, please tell me. Thanks guys and happy smoking, #420everyday

Super burnt lol. Ooops I'll still finish her off and hope for the best. Should still be some decent smoke 👌

🌱 Skywalker OG — Week 9 From Seed (≈ Week 5 Flower | 12/12 From Seed — No Veg Run) ⸻ 🔄 Quick Recap — What’s Happening (and What’s Not) This run continues under a 12/12 from seed schedule, no traditional vegetative phase. That means: • Structure and flowering developed at the same time • Stretch and bud formation are overlapping • “Week 5 Flower” is based on plant expression (pistils & stacking), not a flip 👉 Environment, feeding, and routine remain unchanged this week Sometimes the best move is to not interfere when things are working ⸻ 🌿 General Plant Development The room is alive right now. • Plants are reaching around ~1.30m • Strong vertical growth is still present • Bud sites are forming across the entire structure One plant clearly separated itself: 👉 “The Other Skywalker OG” (Big Mama) • Too large to move out of the tent anymore • Dense, bushy structure • Strong lateral expansion • Now officially tracked separately for clarity The rest of the plants were taken to the studio and observed in detail — and they responded beautifully. ⸻ 👃 Aroma Development This week marked a shift. The smell is becoming: • Stronger • Deeper • More present in the room 👉 This is completely natural for this stage We are entering the phase where: • Terpene production begins ramping up • Flower sites are becoming metabolically active Nothing to correct here — only to observe and respect ⸻ 🔬 Macro Observations — The “Skin” of the Plant This week, we go deeper. Not just how the plant looks… but what the plant is made of ⸻ 🌸 Pistils (White Hairs) What we see: • Fresh, bright white pistils emerging in clusters • Increasing density at bud sites What it is: • Female reproductive structures • Designed to catch pollen What it means: • The plant is actively building flowers • We are firmly in early–mid flower transition What it is not: • Not bud mass yet • Not potency indicator 👉 Think of them as signals of intention, not results ⸻ ✨ Trichomes — The First Signs Under macro: • Early gland formation is visible • Still very subtle at this stage What it is: • Resin glands (future cannabinoid + terpene factories) What it means: • The plant is preparing its chemical defense system What it is not: • Not mature resin • Not peak expression yet 👉 We are at the beginning of the story, not the climax ⸻ 🌿 Stems & Branch “Skin” This is where it gets interesting. Under macro you captured: • Texture variations • Small markings and striping • Surface irregularities What it is: • Natural structural development • Vascular expansion (xylem & phloem activity) • Mechanical strengthening as plant grows What it means: • The plant is reinforcing itself to support future weight What it is not: • Not disease • Not damage (unless soft, spreading, or discolored — which is not the case here) 👉 This is the plant building its skeleton ⸻ ? Nodes & Growth Points Close-ups show: • Tight node spacing in some areas • Strong branching symmetry • Active growth tips What it means: • Good light distribution • Balanced hormonal response 👉 The plant is still deciding where to invest energy ⸻ ? Soil & Perlite Life Macro of the medium shows: • Perlite structure intact • Surface life and texture • Stable environment What it means: • Oxygenation is present • Root zone likely healthy 👉 What happens below is always reflected above — and right now, above looks great ⸻ 🌱 Overall Plant Behavior This Week • Stretch is still active but slowing gradually • Bud sites are multiplying and organizing • Structure is now clearly defined • No major stress signals observed This is a transition week: 👉 From growth → into true flower production ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next (Week 6 Flower) Going forward: • Stretch will slow down significantly • Plants will redirect energy into: • Bud stacking • Resin production • Pistils will multiply rapidly • Aromas will intensify further 👉 This is where the plant stops building itself… and starts building the flower ⸻ 🙏 Closing Words To everyone here: • Followers and non-followers • Supporters and critics • New growers and OGs • Silent watchers and active voices • Sponsors, platforms, and communities 👉 If you’re here, you are part of this journey Energy doesn’t ask for permission — it just flows So truly… thank you all From grower to growers 🌱 📡 Please stay tuned they can try and take us down but we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@DOGDOGTHEDOCTOR NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Day 64 - Beginning week 10 and everything has been going smoothly with this girl so far. Not much going on and didn’t have really anything to do with her today. She’s still good on water for a few more day so just letting her do her thing for now. Day 66 - Still not much happening with her other than fattening up still. She’ll be ready for some water tomorrow or the day after. The trichs are starting to get milky but quite a bit are still clear so still a bit of time left with her. Day 67 - Still not much going on or that I need to do with her. Thought she was ready for water but gonna give her one more day to dry out. Will probably start checking her trichs a little more often now. Day 68 - Well did a check of trichs today and she’s actually got quite a bit of amber in there, a few clear left but mostly cloudy and amber. There’s still a lot of white pistils but I go by the trichs so it’s looking like she’s got two weeks or less left. She was dried up so gave her 2 gallons of water with Sugardaddy and calimagic to try and beef her up the last week or two. I’ll be keeping a close eye on her from here on out. Day 69 - No issues to speak of as of right now and she’s gonna get straight water from now until she’s finished up. Lots of cloudy trichs and caught a couple ambers here and there. Think she’s got no more than two weeks left and she’ll get the chop.

Start Flush

I am pretty happy for this being my 1st grow ever! Nice looking buds and lots of fun! I did expect the nugz to be bigger but I an happy with the experience!

8/25/23 - Day 73 - Another week down. We did a water change today. The buds are getting fatter and WAAAAAAY smellier. I have had a couple of times now where I lost a battle to the Skunk BOSS. I have had to reach in to move some buds around because they are too close to the light on some bud sites. You can see one of the buds up top, it has some white to it, I think that's due to being too close to the light. But once I move the buds around, I smell EXACTLY like a skunk. The smell is crazy strong. It's taking several full showers and it's still all over my fingers. Gloves will be an ABSOLUTE must when just reach in for a second. 8/28/23 - Day 76 - The buds are starting to grow even more, that the buds are growing buds out of them. That sounds weird but it's the only way to describe it. It looks like Romanesco. The buds are getting more dank, fatter, and more crystals are forming. 8/29/23 - Day 77 -I did some trimming today. I push some of the buds down and really got my arms in there today. All of the buds have gained so much mass to them when I squeeze them, they are really dense. I left a time laps video of me doing some late trimming, I was noticing some of the cannabis leaves were taking some of the light from the buds. 8/31/23 - Day 79 - The trichomes are still see-through and crystal clear. IM looking for a glossy-type look. My guess is still two/three weeks out. If you are looking for this experience, check out https://www.getleaf.co/

Starting week 4 by lowering scrog and bending some branches, slightly weaved the branches through anywhere they would fit. First time using a scrog net executed to see the results. Thinking next week will be last week of veg

Hello Bros&Sis! Ciao!😊 this time I've decided to made a video update, from the start of the week to the finish, we're gonna see some BIG differences! (The longest is from the end) About the ladies: Girls in coco Royal AK- she's drinking every single drop op solution and has literally exploded! I'm really happy about her training (top/lst/hst). A very strong strain. OG Kush- I don't get this girl, she's definitely not an heavy drinker. Speedy Chile FF- when I re-potted her into 6lt pot, some of my Bros hoped for a Baobab, what do you think?😂 (has some mutations, has a growth of 3 leaves and then 2 branches have joined together and the other has grown normally) Ladies in Soil: UK Cheese auto- I've broke a branch due to heavy crop. Lesson learned. Pink Doc CBD auto- she's growing good, finally! The only thing I'm worried about is that she will not grow so much, because switch is near. Candy Kush Express- A really nice lady, not too tall, good side branches and she take everything with no care less (one of the most "broken" in the tent) Special Kush#1- She likes her new pot, but there's something wrong (see leaves) maybe related to VPD or RU? I've used different techniques on this ladies, but the one I like the most is cropping the branches and the main stems and also broke the branches where meets the stems, to give'em more power, and more "space" for nutrients transports in sight of bloom! That's all mate, we will see soon for the next update! Ciao!😙 (hey @Growdiaries if you want to use my video, feel free to do it, but please, don't change the music, it's already on YT and for CC use)

- Really happy with her recovery this week from the topping and defoliation, she's starting to show some explosive growth. I think I might up the nutrients to full strength next week, does anyone think this might be a bit much of an increase? - Continued with some slight training, just making sure the main branches don't pop back up and that they are pulled down as much as possible to save on height. - Did some minor training of the new shoots towards the end of the week, just trying to pull them into the empty space and even out the canopy a bit. - She also seemed a bit more thirsty this week , up until now iv only been watering one litre once a week, this week I gave her a total of about 3 litres spread over two occasions.

Big yielder in flowers, and 20%+ on the press.

increasing nutrient doses, monitoring EC and pH doesn't bear fruit, I think. Training also takes its toll and the girls flourish. We will continue to feed and observe... Second half of week brings quite intensive growth. Continue with LST, because need light penetration and some leaves out with same purpose. What does next days bring? I am exciting...

🤤🤤🤤 Stecklinge von Krumme Gurke 🏻

I skipped a week it's just been way too hot surprisingly she hasn't shown any signs of stress n is growing very nicely no nutrients burn I am getting some weird like yellow dots on like one or two leaves but other then that love the growth hopefully I can stay up to date this coming up week

Still no smell looking a lot better tho! Really filling ou
