🌱 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
