Skywalker OG — Week 2 VEG 🌱
12/12 from seed | Synganic approach
Week two of vegetative growth comes to a close, and all phenotypes are behaving remarkably similar. Despite being grown in different containers (plastic pots and plastic bags), growth rhythm, structure, and overall development are nearly identical across the board.
This kind of uniformity early on is always a good sign — it speaks to stable genetics and a plant that knows exactly what it wants to do. That excites me a lot, both for what’s happening now and for what’s coming later.

🌿 Plant Development
• Plants are currently working on their third node (third pair of true leaves)
• Height sits around ~7 cm
• Structure is compact and tight, with short internodes
• No visible stress or irregular behavior
Considering this is only Week 2 of VEG and the plants are running 12/12 from seed, this development is exactly where I want it to be. At this stage, the plants are clearly prioritizing root mass and underground work, and I fully accept — and respect — that pace.
No rush. Foundations first.

💡 Light Cycle Perspective
Running 12/12 from seed means we shouldn’t expect explosive vertical growth early on. Instead, energy is redirected toward:
• Root establishment
• Hormonal balance
• Structural preparation
Top growth will come later — once the roots say they’re ready.

Nutrition & Feeding — Plagron Synganic Recipe
For this run, I’m deliberately combining mineral precision with organic biological support, creating a synganic symbiosis rather than choosing one side.
The idea is simple:
• Minerals provide accuracy, availability, and control
• Organics support microbial life, enzyme activity, and long-term soil health
This approach allows the plant to:
• Feed immediately when needed
• Build a healthy rhizosphere for future stages
• Avoid deficiencies while still staying biologically active
Rather than forcing growth, the goal is to support the plant’s natural rhythm — letting roots, microbes, and nutrients work together.
Same base recipe as the other diaries, but the intention here is clarity and balance, not speed.

🧠 Final Thoughts
Everything we’re seeing right now points in the right direction:
• Consistency across phenotypes
• Calm, controlled growth
• Strong early structure
These young Skywalker OGs are doing exactly what they should be doing at this stage — and that’s why I’m very happy with them.
No chasing.
No forcing.
Just listening, observing, and guiding.
On to Week 3. 🌱💚

📸 Photography Equipment & Tools
(Not sponsors, but part of my creative toolkit)
• Sony A6700
• Sony full-frame macro lens + few more
• Stacking photography workflow - learning
• iPhone (for behind-the-scenes shots)
We’ve got much more coming as we move through the grow cycles. 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.

P.S.2— Light Intensity & Environment
For clarity and reference, current light intensity is being kept in a moderate PPFD range, appropriate for early vegetative growth under 12/12 from seed.
At this stage, the goal is not to push top growth, but to support:
• Root development
• Healthy leaf formation
• Stress-free adaptation to the environment
PPFD will be gradually increased as the plants establish themselves and signal readiness. Environment remains stable and consistent, allowing the plants to set their rhythm without unnecessary fluctuations.
As always, light, environment, and nutrition are adjusted in response to the plant, not the calendar.
