🌱 Skywalker OG — Week 5 From Seed (12/12 Run) Hello everyone, welcome to another update, and a big thank you to everyone following along, newcomers, longtime readers, sponsors, platform, and of course the breeders and creators behind these genetics. It truly means a lot to share this journey together. For those just joining: this is a 12/12 from seed run, approached gently and observationally. No rush, no aggression, just letting the plants express themselves while we listen closely. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Room Conditions • Temperature: 21°C • Relative Humidity: ~58% • Outside conditions: 4–5°C with 90–98% RH Given what’s happening outside, I’m actually very happy with how stable the room is staying. The plants seem to agree, posture, color, and overall vigor are excellent. • CO₂: ~666 ppm For now, this is perfectly fine. No need to push or supplement — steady and natural. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy (Top + Under Canopy) At the start of the week: • Only top lights are running • Power: 100% • PPFD: ~700–850 (depending on plant size) As the plants stretch and rise above the under-canopy fixtures, we’re now introducing under-canopy lighting: • Lumiflora under-canopy lights • Starting at 30% power This is very intentional. The goal isn’t to blast the plants, but to teach them that light and photons will be arriving from more than one direction. We want a gentle adaptation — letting the plant reorganize how it uses light rather than forcing it. Power will be increased later, but right now it’s all about adjustment, not intensity. ⸻ 🌿 Training Approach (or lack of it) Because this is a 12/12 from seed run, we are being extremely conservative. • No topping • No hard training • No defoliation The only work being done: • Leaf tucking • Gentle leaf bending And the response has been incredible. These girls are reacting with: • Tight internodes • Bushy structure • Calm, confident growth Sometimes, truly, less touch = better performance. ⸻ 🌱 The Triple-Branching Lady (Main Focus of the Week) This week’s highlight is one very special plant showing clear triple branching. At each node, instead of the usual two shoots, she’s producing three distinct branches, stacking from the bottom all the way up. The structure almost looks like she’s tucking herself naturally, creating a dense but elegant framework. This is not something we forced. It’s purely genetic expression meeting the right conditions. She looks happy. She looks calm. And she looks like she’s planning something special. We’ll be doing a dedicated report on her by the end of the week, because this kind of morphology deserves proper documentation. ⸻ 💧 Watering & Nutrition Strategy Water Source We’re using a mix of: • Rainwater • Dehumidifier-collected water This water is extremely soft, so this week we introduced something new: ➕ CalMag Pro Not because the plants were asking — but thinking ahead. Before adding nutrition, we want a proper mineral foundation. This helps stabilize uptake and prevents issues before they even show up. Aside from that: • No changes to the main recipe • Everything remains steady and predictable ⸻

Flowering day: 46 Looks perfect

Good afternoon everybody 😊 It's getting wild, really wild 😇 From last week everything start to be hmm... massive 🤔 😜 Update: Day 38 Original Cinderella 108 cm Bruce Banner 83 cm Purple Lemonade 78 cm Day 40 I have to provide a defoliation as girls start expanding wildly 😇 Original Cinderella 114 cm Bruce Banner 86 cm Purple Lemonade 79 cm All the best, You Lovely Girls Growers 💪 💪 💪

Holy fucking shit. I upped the E.C. to around 1.9 and it seems she LOVES it. Since the change (from 1.2 to 1.8) she suddenly draws 5L of water a day and the buds are starting to form. I can clearly already see the typical "cali" US genetics on this plant and i'm very excited to see that develop! Pretty sure i could have achieved the same state with only 6 weeks of veg, but i had to veg her longer for some other plants. Im curious, what she will yield, if someone can guess, i would be happy Take care of yourself, this will be a banger grow!

Satisfecho pero voy por mejorar los parámetros en la siguiente para ver algún cambio, como también cambiar de banco de semillas a uno nacional (Chile) y serán Fem.

Semana de engorde total, la planta con el overdrive ya se ve renovada, llena de pistilos nuevos. Mucha resina y mucho olor, se siente como un caramelo de anana 🍍 Vamos de a poco bajando la ec y el ph mantenemos en 6,4 para que coma y terminar en un 6.3 con 1.4-1.6 de ec estaria ideal

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 💚🌱 Die Pflanze wächst nach der dritten Woche des umsetzens weiterhin wunderschön. Sie hat bereits die Anzeichen der Vorblüte ausgeprägt und würde daher am 13.03. in die Blüte übergeleitet. Ihre verästelungen sind schön abstehend, so dass die Triebe eine gute abspreitzung erlangen um gut in der Beleuchtung zu bleiben. Ihr Wuchsverhalten ist bis jetzt sehr Indica orientiert. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aktuell gut: ————— 🌞 Temp: 23 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 56% VPD: 0,91 kPa 💡ppfd: 330 mpm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

Smoke report! 10/10/20 tastes are tropical with a citrus hint and pine! Also tastes like it has some gas on it too can feel the power in every blast! Feels like euphoric a lot of day dream happy thoughts great for music and day smoke puts you in the best of moods! Not much to say on a negative as it tastes so good your mouth waters lol but could say makes you very very sleepy 😴 thank you for popping by check out them tones and fades 😍 Was amazing to grow! Ran into no problems along the way she literally just grew and grew! She showed her beauty from early and was shining through colours of purple/red even on the leaves! And her smell “oh my” is exclusive like sherbet and citrus and fruit and candy! I’ll add more photos after cure and also a smoke report! Want to allow this to cure about 2 weeks before I even try her!

Ok so I'm going too only feed pH water from here on out too force the plants too use up all that's in the soil , I am hoping I can carry them on now for the next 2 weeks like this before they are ripe , Update at the end of week 9 Well this week saw a lot of change , bud swelling and ripened up really quickly And slowed right down on drinking last time I checked she was 30% amber and 70% cloudy so she has been moved into a dark room until Thursday now too drink what’s left in her pot ready for harvest at the weekend , she smell so good and if you brush against it , So that’s one down 3 too go :)

Honestly it feels to me like they took a couple finos of one plant and that's what they sold you. Couple of the plants came out a real fruity smell a couple of them came out a real dark gassy smell, what's crazy is I did the animal cookies and kept them separate and then I did the space cookies and kept those separate and one of the animal cookies and one of the space cookies turned out fruity and then one of the space cookies and one of the animal cookies turned out dark gassy smelling. That's why I think they just threw in a handful of phenos and called them whatever. Ordered from cookies/ lemonade for next crop. Better genetics better crop. I used LED for all of this made by Vipar Spectra the xs1500. This grow had nutrient lock out at one point hence the weird colors had to flush. Happy growing everybody! Also anyone looking into emerald harvest I highly suggest it It's the closest thing to all natural while still providing all nutrients. This was all grown in soil so I would advise not to use as much and don't mix brands, Stick with one whole solution and try using coco, much better results in my opinion faster nutrient uptake. Coco is the closest to hydroponics without having to water constantly.

* ***************** Week 3 of Growth From Seed, April 25 to May 1, 2020 - Days 15 to 21 from germination ********************** * Started the head scratching more this week and wondering what is going on with the slower growth she has experienced the last 4 days or so. She is looking good and not dark....environment is good.....what the heck is the pH so high when been given feed well inline and below 6.0......why runoff numbers in low 7's so early in the run?? A number of heavy feedings this week so that I can read the runoff numbers for her. Going to keep staying the course with feeding but lower the pH because she is still progressing and its still pretty early in the run........not much veg time for an auto though so I need to get this figured out pretty soon. Gave her some Epsom salts this week as well as I have been battling Magnesium deficiency the last run or two. Always just used CalMag but I don't think the girls always want as much Calcium as they are given this way though. Fed at a rate of 1tsp/gal in a two litre feed early on in the week. Little more Detail........... Apr 25/20, Day 15 - 500ml feed - VitaThrive and Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml - 700ppm and 6.0pH - small feed of base nute to try and perk her up. - noticed the lower leaves are droopy while the upper leaves are perky still. - Still working on dialing the light for these girls as they are happier at 30" away from canopy. Apr 26/20 - Day 16 - 500ml feed - AN Sensi Cal @ 1.5ml, Sensyzime @ 2ml, Epsom Salt @ 1tsp/gal - 700ppm and 6.0pH - The Epsom Salt alone shot the ppm to 500 - Only have the veg switch on for the UnitFarm light. - feeling some of the other girls are showing some magnesium deficiency with the yellowing perimeter of the leaves. Apr 27/20 - Day 17 - dry out day - Cut slits in the bottom of the bag today to let more water out, more quickly when feeding. - Wondering if the root zone is staying too wet and therefore causing some stunted growth. - She has been falling a sleep too early in the day so either too much light or getting root bound? Apr 28/20 - Day 18 - needing some runoff numbers to see what the hell is going on - fed 3L - Piranha @ 1ml, VooDoo @ 2ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml - going in was 575ppm and 5.3pH - runoff numbers were 1450ppm and 6.9pH - WTF......bring it down......next feed at only 500ppm and 5.0pH to lower her?? - leaf colour is perfect. Stems are a little immature yet, but side branching is coming out stronger. Apr 29/20 - Day 19 - 8L feed - Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml = 325ppm and 5.0pH - runoff after the watering was 500ppm and 7.0pH - WTF.....expected it to be more in the 6.5pH range and not that high still? - KK looked worse off, still droopy, after this than the other girls did. Lack of oxygen in root zone with so much water? Its coco though shouldn't be for too long. Apr 30/20 - Day 20 - dry out day - KK likes it a little dryer in her medium.....she perked up more today and looking a lot better. - She has had more vertical growth the last day and she is spacing out some of her nodes. - Her stem is thicker and she is getting stronger. - Still a week behind though in my opinion and they should have been this size a week ago. Apr 31/20 - Day 21 - dry out day - she has done very well the last two days and going to keep riding that wave, didn't water today. - She has certainly gotten taller and wider.......getting her back on track? That will wrap up this puzzling week........pH is not staying low after being brought down......shoots back up over 7 in only 24 hours idea. Working on it Growmies. Have a great week and thanks for checking out the girls🙏👌

10/21: dernière semaine de cro. Enfin je l'espère sur les trois plantes une est restée bloquée une bonne semaine elle a l'air de reprendre du poil de la bête car elle montre des signe de pre-flo. Ce que les deux autres qui sont bien grande n'ont pas encore fait. #36 10/22: cocoa+B augmenté à 3ml sauf pour la plante qui a du mal à suivre gg0. Les deux autres aimes bien leurs petites routines mais il est temp de passer en Flo. Mes chéries ! #37 10/23: j'apperçois de minuscule pistils apparraitre de ci de là. pour gg0 je vais tester le régime sec quelques ou alors elles est malade, j'attend les retours par rapport a ma question ouvetre La plante gg2 à reçu une bonne soupe bien complète on verra dans les jours à venir la coco est buffered en plus.... #38 10/24: j'ai quand même sortie mon ph metre digital et verifié les RO de chaque plante et le probleme de la 3eme GG c'est un ph trop ellevé, 7.4 les autre flirte autour 6.4/6.6, malgrés tout cela je vais tenter de récuperer la gg qui a un ph trop haut et on dirait bien que les deux autres passent en pré-flo AMEN! #39 10/27: dernière journée de cro. On est bien passé en pré floraison. Mon RO de contrôle à tjrs un ph au dessus de 6.5 , j'ai utilisé des briques ugro de 11L que j'ai mal tamponé j'espère avoir de la chance et un joli harvest. #42

Another week went by, everything seems to be normal, except I think one of my darlings will be ready sooner. The one in the middle looks more mature if I look at the pestils, and the trichomes. The buda of her are also not developing that much, so I will keep monitoring her, because she might need a flush soon.

She's doing great. Heats been giving me a little problem still but no more fungus I can see an the bugs havent bothered her much. I've noticed that I let her go kinda long 😅 I still would like too flush her before cutting down so like what 2-3more weeks? Should I go ahead an start flushing?

Week 9 here! They started falling over from heavy buds. Gonna try and prop up as many as i can. Only using Ripen at half dose this week. Gonna chop around week 10.

Really exploding the first week of flower. I lollypop the bottom before bud.

First week of 12/12

Hey Cannafam Happy Monday, My Apricot gal has had a fairly good week overall, mainly due to a rare bout of very hot weather. Its been absolutely scorchin, Monday and Tuesday 28c ,Wednesday and Thursday 30c with continuous Sun and average nighttime temps of 24c, Friday through to Sunday thing tapered of a bit down to 23c with Sunshine and clouds.We did also have a thunderstorm Thursday night ,but its been pretty solid on the weather front 😊 Daylight hours are currently at 16 hrs 22 minutes. We are now in Flower and her first Pistils have appeared! 😊 Training has continued a bit each day and ive been guiding her branches away from the middle and trying to keep them fairly level with some more light defoliation There was one shoot which had grown from the underside of the plant which was struggling for light which has now been exposed. All shoots have had really good growth this week and ive virtually got her in to the shape i want trying to give spacing for decent airflow in flower, but its a case of constant tweeking. The leaf miner problem has now ceased but my other friends the slugs appeared after a thunderstorm thurday night and had a go a couple of the fan leaves. This occured after the rain had washed away the diamatous earth from around the pot and the copper tape dididnt work 😑 Ive therefor now decided to roll put some local ale in a beer trap for them to try as id rather they drink than eat, hopefully i can take lock the in beer jail! Feed wise ive actually managed two feeds this week with the plagron n trace to help power that growth and il be flippin over to flower nutes next week. Although this gal has been attacked a bit shes coming along nicely and doin her Daddy proud 😁 Thats all from me for now, thanks for stopping by ✌️💚
