๐ฑ Skywalker OG โ Week 9 From Seed
(โ Week 5 Flower | 12/12 From Seed โ No Veg Run)
โธป
๐ Quick Recap โ Whatโs Happening (and Whatโs Not)
This run continues under a 12/12 from seed schedule, no traditional vegetative phase.
That means:
โข Structure and flowering developed at the same time
โข Stretch and bud formation are overlapping
โข โWeek 5 Flowerโ is based on plant expression (pistils & stacking), not a flip
๐ Environment, feeding, and routine remain unchanged this week
Sometimes the best move is to not interfere when things are working
โธป
๐ฟ General Plant Development
The room is alive right now.
โข Plants are reaching around ~1.30m
โข Strong vertical growth is still present
โข Bud sites are forming across the entire structure
One plant clearly separated itself:
๐ โThe Other Skywalker OGโ (Big Mama)
โข Too large to move out of the tent anymore
โข Dense, bushy structure
โข Strong lateral expansion
โข Now officially tracked separately for clarity
The rest of the plants were taken to the studio and observed in detail โ and they responded beautifully.
โธป
๐ Aroma Development
This week marked a shift.
The smell is becoming:
โข Stronger
โข Deeper
โข More present in the room
๐ This is completely natural for this stage
We are entering the phase where:
โข Terpene production begins ramping up
โข Flower sites are becoming metabolically active
Nothing to correct here โ only to observe and respect
โธป
๐ฌ Macro Observations โ The โSkinโ of the Plant
This week, we go deeper.
Not just how the plant looksโฆ but what the plant is made of
โธป
๐ธ Pistils (White Hairs)
What we see:
โข Fresh, bright white pistils emerging in clusters
โข Increasing density at bud sites
What it is:
โข Female reproductive structures
โข Designed to catch pollen
What it means:
โข The plant is actively building flowers
โข We are firmly in earlyโmid flower transition
What it is not:
โข Not bud mass yet
โข Not potency indicator
๐ Think of them as signals of intention, not results
โธป
โจ Trichomes โ The First Signs
Under macro:
โข Early gland formation is visible
โข Still very subtle at this stage
What it is:
โข Resin glands (future cannabinoid + terpene factories)
What it means:
โข The plant is preparing its chemical defense system
What it is not:
โข Not mature resin
โข Not peak expression yet
๐ We are at the beginning of the story, not the climax
โธป
๐ฟ Stems & Branch โSkinโ
This is where it gets interesting.
Under macro you captured:
โข Texture variations
โข Small markings and striping
โข Surface irregularities
What it is:
โข Natural structural development
โข Vascular expansion (xylem & phloem activity)
โข Mechanical strengthening as plant grows
What it means:
โข The plant is reinforcing itself to support future weight
What it is not:
โข Not disease
โข Not damage (unless soft, spreading, or discolored โ which is not the case here)
๐ This is the plant building its skeleton
โธป
? Nodes & Growth Points
Close-ups show:
โข Tight node spacing in some areas
โข Strong branching symmetry
โข Active growth tips
What it means:
โข Good light distribution
โข Balanced hormonal response
๐ The plant is still deciding where to invest energy
โธป
? Soil & Perlite Life
Macro of the medium shows:
โข Perlite structure intact
โข Surface life and texture
โข Stable environment
What it means:
โข Oxygenation is present
โข Root zone likely healthy
๐ What happens below is always reflected above โ
and right now, above looks great
โธป
๐ฑ Overall Plant Behavior This Week
โข Stretch is still active but slowing gradually
โข Bud sites are multiplying and organizing
โข Structure is now clearly defined
โข No major stress signals observed
This is a transition week:
๐ From growth โ into true flower production
โธป
๐ฎ What to Expect Next (Week 6 Flower)
Going forward:
โข Stretch will slow down significantly
โข Plants will redirect energy into:
โข Bud stacking
โข Resin production
โข Pistils will multiply rapidly
โข Aromas will intensify further
๐ This is where the plant stops building itselfโฆ
and starts building the flower
โธป
๐ Closing Words
To everyone here:
โข Followers and non-followers
โข Supporters and critics
โข New growers and OGs
โข Silent watchers and active voices
โข Sponsors, platforms, and communities
๐ If youโre here, you are part of this journey
Energy doesnโt ask for permission โ it just flows
So trulyโฆ
thank you all

๐ธ Photography Equipment & Tools
(Not sponsors, but part of my creative toolkit)
โข Sony A6700
โข Sony full-frame macro lens + few more
โข Stacking photography workflow - learning
โข iPhone (for behind-the-scenes shots)
Weโve got much more coming as we move through the grow cycles. Trust me, you wonโt want to miss the next steps, letโs push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together!
As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Letโs 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.
๐ Growers love to all ๐
๐ธ P.S. โ The Eye Behind the Lens
All photos in this diary (for now โ 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 โ itโs how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words canโt always capture.
Iโve also started experimenting with photo stacking โ 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.
Itโs not digital enhancement or AI; itโs pure photography โ a way to reveal the plantโs beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal.
Youโll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots โ camera, lens, setup โ because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.
