During week 3 all plants are growing well inside the Growfor.Life-Closet and have a healthy green color. The latest addition: Double Dutch plant #3 (from Serious Seeds) is behind the rest, but also doing well. On Day 18 the biggest three plants, Double Dutch plant #1 and #2 and OG-Kush have gotten so big that a first round of defoliation was necessary. I do this in order to avoid big leaves touching each other and causing dampness to condensate between the leaves, which in turn can attract fungus and mold. Therefore i take off all the big fan leaves starting from the bottom of the plant and only leave the top two fan leaves on the plant. Now the air can flow freely through the canopy again and no leaves are touching and no dampness can condensate. The plants are still getting no extra nutrients, since the PLAGRON Grow-Mix I use should still have plenty in it. I only use RHIZOTONIC from CANNA one time in order to enhance the root-production. Now at this stage you already can clearly see differences between Double Dutch (from Serious Seeds) and OG-Kush (from Humboldt Seeds). The leaf shape is different (smaller and more pronounced fingers on the leaves of OG-Kush) and also the growth pattern (more like Indica in Double Dutch). On Day 19 I decide to do some LST (=low stress training) in order to train the 3 biggest plants into a bushier form. This is necessary, because the Growfor.Life-Closet is limited in height and I want the plants to fill out the whole area well with budding sites. I use stiff insulated copper-wire (standard electrical wire, pieces of appr. 30 cm length) and bend small arches, which I then carefully place over the top-part of a side-branch and push the open ends of the wire downwards into the soil so it holds the branch in place, while its bent outwards away from the main stem. This way I 'fan-out' the lowest 4 side-branches, so they are growing upwards at places where the light can reach them better. (see in detail in video) All plants respond well to the LST and turn their leaves and tips of the side-branches towards the light again until the next day. At day 19 the plants are now almost 20 cm tall, therefore I also decide to switch to 12/12 hours of light/darkness now in order to induce flowering. I change the program of the Growfor.Life-Closet from the standard-grow-mode (=18 hours of light per day) to the custom-flowering-program (12/12 hours of light, where I can choose the time when the lamps turn on). Now the plants will grow slower until they start to flower. I LOVE THE Growfor.Life-Closet, its sooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL and soooooooooooooooo SILENT, a landmark technical development in my opinion! This is growing made stealthy and effortless, GROWING OF THE 21st CENTURY!

Big week here. The girls got moved into the tent and also into the Autopot system. I'm excited to see how the Autopot performs! There appeared some burns, I had been busy with xmas, so I didn't had that much time to attend them. I believe they will get back on track now. The biggest challenge is to keep the PH stable in the water tank.

This girl is moving along. Thinking she will start to ripen up in the next couple weeks. I switched my photos to 12/12 today so she will be getting the same light. Watering her twice a day about a cup each time. The aroma still bursts like fresh lemons. Excited to taste this girl and even more excited to run one of these on a proper grow in a dutch bucket next round.

2 Girls 1 Cup week 10?? Looks like WG still has a few weeks left on her. GC on the other hand... is technically already dead to me, I've properly mourned her loss. Just need to keep her out of the way (and alive). Day 63- my TDS meter was accurate the whole time.. had to dial it back up.. I'm an idiot.. but these girls have been rocking out at over a thousand for weeks now and not really showing signs of burn. Few tips here and there. Crank the P/K up in this week's feed. RES change tonight. Modified GHE late bloom aggressive feed. TAP water so there's no added N from the calmag needed with RO. Breakdown as follows: 5gal TAP water - 137ppm Micro- 33mL Grow- 35.5mL Bloom- 50mL RES totals after ph corrections [email protected]. ============================================================================================= Day 64- GC seems to have blown up since yesterdays stabbing.. i took a vid, which ended up being a little too long. didnt want to wait for it to upload so i canceled. may clip the part where i went psycho on GC main and upload later. she may get stabbed a few more times before this is all over. thinking about drilling a hole or two in WG within the last few days, and the 48hr dark before chop chop. (when the time comes of course) ============================================================================================= Day 65- I don't think I ever disclosed my tent is in a closet... vid tonight shows it. Also shows how much head space I have above it for a TALLER tent.. a 4x4x80 would fit this current space REAL nice.. could make em taller as well. One thing I need to think over before the next run. I did cut GC back some tonight. Was creating a shadow on WG, and I didn't want it smacking in the fan again. That got annoying quick the other night while trying to sleep. WG still fattening up. Top offs have been with bubbled/aged TAP. Tonight I gave em a G/B 5/10mL shot since numbers are dropping from top offs and consumption. ============================================================================================= Day 66- i know i didnt add a comment for the day... but i DID upload pics. must have not saved. noticed when updating timelapse with the days footage, my diary is missing pics from 66. damnit! maybe i should quit uploading so many damn videos. ============================================================================================= Day 69- WG starting to show signs of its end. Brown spots on a few random leaves here and there. Checked tricomes tonight and were like 90% cloudy 10% clear. Hope they start to amber up within the next week. Haven't hit the A/C yet, and Temps are reaching 86! I can say that I have noticed less of an odor when opening the tent. So I think I'm nuking them terps. ============================================================================================= As always, thanks for stopping by and checking out my current grow experiment.

Flowering week 2 the ladies are slowly forming tips and everything is going according to plan. Purple Punch x Lemon Drizzle has slightly burnt tips from the fertilizer. I probably could have started fertilizing even later.

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.

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.

I’ve been feeding every other day and everything is looking green, healthy, and filled the canopy out nicely. The buds are getting bigger everyday. Everything recovered well From the defoliating. Definitely starting to smell stronger. So far so good going to keep pushing these girl so hard! Cheers everyone

Another week is over. I've been a bit short on time and this week has been really busy, but here we go... it seems to be fine, except for some of the leaves looking a bit burnt and yellow, probably due to the increased nutrient load in the last few weeks. They've been eating a lot and the smell is really delicious. Happy growing! 🌱🌱🌿

4/15/25 Things are progressing nicely. Some plants dont seem to be doing too much but 3 of them or so that are really standing out. Im curious if some of these are going to be longer flowering time than anticipated with the very obvious sativa dominant plants.

Seems to be going good, idk if I should ad more bloom booster or just use molasses. Also the broken cola I replanted, seems to still be alive but don’t really know what else to do. Just hope I can get these out of some random guys back yard soon.
