All good

At the beginning of the 4th week, the early stages of flower formation are already clearly visible. Plants are strong, healthy green, no visible deficiencies.

Buds are growing in size First thrichomes popping out on the sugar leaves. Starting to smell a little bit.

Finally week 2, plant is doing great. idk if it's airpot, nutrients, 20 hours of lights or genetics, but girl is growing really fast. New nutrients this week with increased amounts, but not full dose. Full dose will be given from day 10-11. Day 8 - Plant reacted great to 20 hours of light. Stem is still little bit thin for plant size, but fan breeze will help. 1L with nutrients. PH perfect G-B-M 1.2 ml/l, Root Plus 2 ml/l, Diamond Nectar 1.25 ml/l, CALiMAGic 0.4 ml/l. Day 9 - Good day, great progress. Very healthy color. 1L water under plant, 1L on sides of pot. Day 10 - Plant is growing by hours. Increased amount of nutrients and water. 2L from today. PH perfect G-B-M 2 ml/l, Root Plus 2 ml/l, Diamond Nectar 1.25 ml/l, CALiMAGic 0.4 ml/l. Day 11 - Oh man i dont know what to say about it, its growing very fast. As you can see on photos, a lot of side leaves is coming. Stem is getting strong, makes me very happy. So far so good. No water today. Day 12 - 2L with nutrients. Peace.

🌱 Skywalker OG — Week 9 From Seed (≈ Week 5 Flower | 12/12 From Seed — No Veg Run) ⸻ 🔄 Quick Recap — What’s Happening (and What’s Not) This run continues under a 12/12 from seed schedule, no traditional vegetative phase. That means: • Structure and flowering developed at the same time • Stretch and bud formation are overlapping • “Week 5 Flower” is based on plant expression (pistils & stacking), not a flip 👉 Environment, feeding, and routine remain unchanged this week Sometimes the best move is to not interfere when things are working ⸻ 🌿 General Plant Development The room is alive right now. • Plants are reaching around ~1.30m • Strong vertical growth is still present • Bud sites are forming across the entire structure One plant clearly separated itself: 👉 “The Other Skywalker OG” (Big Mama) • Too large to move out of the tent anymore • Dense, bushy structure • Strong lateral expansion • Now officially tracked separately for clarity The rest of the plants were taken to the studio and observed in detail — and they responded beautifully. ⸻ 👃 Aroma Development This week marked a shift. The smell is becoming: • Stronger • Deeper • More present in the room 👉 This is completely natural for this stage We are entering the phase where: • Terpene production begins ramping up • Flower sites are becoming metabolically active Nothing to correct here — only to observe and respect ⸻ 🔬 Macro Observations — The “Skin” of the Plant This week, we go deeper. Not just how the plant looks… but what the plant is made of ⸻ 🌸 Pistils (White Hairs) What we see: • Fresh, bright white pistils emerging in clusters • Increasing density at bud sites What it is: • Female reproductive structures • Designed to catch pollen What it means: • The plant is actively building flowers • We are firmly in early–mid flower transition What it is not: • Not bud mass yet • Not potency indicator 👉 Think of them as signals of intention, not results ⸻ ✨ Trichomes — The First Signs Under macro: • Early gland formation is visible • Still very subtle at this stage What it is: • Resin glands (future cannabinoid + terpene factories) What it means: • The plant is preparing its chemical defense system What it is not: • Not mature resin • Not peak expression yet 👉 We are at the beginning of the story, not the climax ⸻ 🌿 Stems & Branch “Skin” This is where it gets interesting. Under macro you captured: • Texture variations • Small markings and striping • Surface irregularities What it is: • Natural structural development • Vascular expansion (xylem & phloem activity) • Mechanical strengthening as plant grows What it means: • The plant is reinforcing itself to support future weight What it is not: • Not disease • Not damage (unless soft, spreading, or discolored — which is not the case here) 👉 This is the plant building its skeleton ⸻ ? Nodes & Growth Points Close-ups show: • Tight node spacing in some areas • Strong branching symmetry • Active growth tips What it means: • Good light distribution • Balanced hormonal response 👉 The plant is still deciding where to invest energy ⸻ ? Soil & Perlite Life Macro of the medium shows: • Perlite structure intact • Surface life and texture • Stable environment What it means: • Oxygenation is present • Root zone likely healthy 👉 What happens below is always reflected above — and right now, above looks great ⸻ 🌱 Overall Plant Behavior This Week • Stretch is still active but slowing gradually • Bud sites are multiplying and organizing • Structure is now clearly defined • No major stress signals observed This is a transition week: 👉 From growth → into true flower production ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next (Week 6 Flower) Going forward: • Stretch will slow down significantly • Plants will redirect energy into: • Bud stacking • Resin production • Pistils will multiply rapidly • Aromas will intensify further 👉 This is where the plant stops building itself… and starts building the flower ⸻ 🙏 Closing Words To everyone here: • Followers and non-followers • Supporters and critics • New growers and OGs • Silent watchers and active voices • Sponsors, platforms, and communities 👉 If you’re here, you are part of this journey Energy doesn’t ask for permission — it just flows So truly… thank you all From grower to growers 🌱 📡 Please stay tuned they can try and take us down but we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@DOGDOGTHEDOCTOR NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Empezamos la semana cambiando los nutrientes al observar ya unos pequeños pistilos o estigmas , en definitiva, empezaron a mostrar tímidamente el sexo. Empiezo con poco y iré subiendo la dosis hasta 4ml/L hasta que vuelva a cambiar de nutrientes. Creo observar del Lumatek ATSpro que le fataria un punto de luz en el centro del panel. Por lo general con otras luminarias la planta del medio me solia crecer mucho mejor y esta vez está quedando retrasada. Seguiré cultivando y si me sigue pasando lo mismo entonces no tendré ninguna duda, por ahora solo son conjeturas, xd De lo anterior rectifico , tengo que decir que pasados dos dias lo estoy viendo diferente, la del medio parece que sigue por buen camino, ahora apenas notaria la diferencia. La semana anterior, la sexta, se les hizo una segunda pulverización con dosis alta de 3ml/L con spiderbloom ( "fitofortificante de impacto muy rápido") pero de nada sirvió, durante esta semana subió la temperatura a 30ºC un par de dias y las arañas salieron a pegarse el gran festín. Una vez constatada la existencia de araña roja correteando por el envés de las hojas solo toca desinfectar bién el armario, lavarlas a todas una a una con agua corriente para arrastrar el máximo de arañitas y una vez secas darles con algun acaricida químico. De no hacerlo ahora me seria imposible más adelante y no tengo ningunas ganas de dejar perder este cultivo. No soy partidario de lo químico pero menos de dejarlas perder.

Ok shes really moving along now. The trichomes are milky white, and maybe 15 % amber to 10% . Shes also still growing. Question, if I let her grow , will potency go down or something else? If my harvest window is open , dont I have basically two weeks to harvest? My question is if I go over or past harvest window will my tree get less potent ?

When we had so many problems with the other two strains. This strain keeps pushing out buds like the little engine that could. Closest to the light, it handles heat and light way better than her counterparts. It also has some major trichome formation starting covering the entire top leaves. It is starting to smell and form real compact dense buds, although not very pronounced yet. We shall see but she promises to deliver some nice danky bud after all. Nice to see she still pulls together, also nice to see how different this strain behaves from others I have grown. Time will tell the total tally... We shall see if there is a Silverback in the making, but at least she is not staying behind any more. Also here, 3 to 4 more weeks... Cant wait! Thank you for checking in! More budshots follow of this one! Hug Bud

5/18 Took the 5 best looking clones transplanted to 3gal grow bags 5/23 clone plant heights from 15.5” to 18”

The blue dream is going steady maintaining her pace of growth. I gave her a slight flush of pure phd balanced water, She has grown a staggering 10cm in the last week. Her canopy has fully developed and is almost ready for bloom. Rosemary will be added to the substrate in the next few days. She stands at approximately 70cm ta

2 october First of all... This girl was planted in a position under a tree. She is a real outdoor strain. I had succes with maroc in guerilla grows before. Sun hours are key. Having that in mind. The way this Outdoor Grapefruit performed in her bad spot is incredible. She grew away from the shady patch just like Maroc did. Meaning she was leaning and basicly I ended up scrogging her to face the southern side. The backside was of the net was empty. In a sunny spot this girl would have gone through the roof. She is super sticky. Amazingly fruity, my favourite strain outdoors this year. She performed wel in the cold and rain. Mould was everywhere but she managed best. Could have gone another week but forecast were bad and my planning did not allow that extra time. So many thing still left to do with such monster plants and incoming harvest. Ill keep you posted on weight, with budshots in the smoke report. Peace out✌️

Grew nicely in the chalice and needed to be watered daily. Produced some beautiful buds and a pretty fat cola. Had no issues I had to worry about and overall grew a lot better than expected!

* Watering 2l every 3 days * Always tuck in the leaves to expose lower tops

Day 60F The PM on the cheese has gotten significantly worse in the last few days. I think it may have something to do with the constant humidity spikes every time I water. I haven’t been running my humidifier at all in flower so maybe it’s having trouble keeping the RH up during lights on. Just another reason to follow a daily watering schedule. The cheese and slurricane look fucking disgusting and I’m starting to doubt that a peroxide wash can totally fix it. It worked well for my outdoor crop so it should be fine but this time there is probably 3x the amount. I’ll make sure to really soak the buds and rinse them off good. Bbb#1 is flopping over like crazy from the weight. Too late to stake it up now so hopefully it holds until next week. Starting to foxtail a bit but nothing too bad. It is now 100% done and ready for chop. Bbb#2 is just getting frostier and frostier by the day. The purple fade is really coming along nicely too. Might reveg. It is now 100% done and ready for harvest. Black garlic #1 is finally filling out! I can’t believe it. Never heard of a plant packing weight on like that in week 8. The breeder did mention that it packs on weight later but I’m stunned. Taking her to 9.5 weeks. Black garlic #2 is looking very average. Average color, average size buds, average frost, average smell, probably an average yield. And it’s starting to get a bit of PM. Overall not happy. Will be taking her to 9.5 weeks. Zkittlez #1 has pleasantly surprised me. It was a bushy runt in veg but came through. It’s the third frostiest in the tent, super dense, stacked tight, smells great and looks great. It’s already got a nice amount of amber so it’s 100% ready for chop. Slurricane #4 looks insanely frosty even under all that PM. If I can’t wash it off it’s going in the trash. I want to chop this asap but have to cut everything at once unfortunately. It’s 100% ready for harvest. Badazz OG cheese is looking like a decent yielder but doesn’t have much else going for it. I think it still has some filling out to do. I can’t even smell the final profile change yet. The leaves are rotting off very quickly. Taking her 9.5 weeks. I don’t mind harvesting a bit later rather than early. From my outdoor experience, when a plant is picked early it smells like hay and wet grass clippings until it’s been curing for 3 weeks. When I harvest late or at 30-50% amber trichomes it smells like same scent profile it had when growing. Just my experience. I’ve read that the tobacco industry adds calcium and potassium carbonate to their crops to help promote fire holding capacity and to increase the whiteness of ash. Turns out some of the organic amendments I bought last week contain exactly that. I’m going to give each plant a light top dress to see if the tobacco industry is onto something.

Things are going great in this tent, a couple brown calcium def spots forming in a few areas and as it goes we're currently out of cal-mag lol, we should have more delivered in about 2 days...I really like the structure of these plants, a few long (fat) colas always make for easy cleaning/drying and the SP-3000 gets in there deep..we could never run this close together under our old LEDs or without bending them sideways but we've had no issues yet keeping everything vertical under the MarsHydro...The temps are a little high and we're still watering this tent more than the others but airflow is really good and the plants seem happy for now....we removed a bunch of lower growth from most of them this week so they'll put that energy towards the stuff on top and minimize "popcorn"..the smell is just amazing, this is a very hearty and beautiful strain..I'm happy we were able to grab a half dozen clones..all the Widow clones we took are well into veg at this point ...💪🐱🌱....we live in zone 5 (US) and are limited on what we can grow outdoors but I think with these being a "fast" strain we could flower them all outside..we'll play it by ear lol..well thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings, we'll update if anything exciting happens midweek...have a safe and happy Memorial Day (US) Growmies!! ❤️💡🌱😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

June 21st : Figured I started off last week with a video update So i'd do the same this week. Buds are really fattening up. Making my mouth water when I stare at them. Smell is very strong when the exhaust is off and the tent open. Getting Hot around here lately 106 outside today. Trying my best to keep them cool but it seems like a losing battle. Good thing I have that co2 tank. 🙌 June 22nd : Decided to try out my Digital Microscope tonight see what I could see. WOW am I going to have fun doing Macro Shot's! This is gonna be so much fun! Nothing else done with the plants except some admiration! June 23rd : Didn't have time to get to pictures darn real life. June 24th : Watered tonight as they were showing signs of drooping from under-watering. I expected as much due to the recent 106-111F. Temps around my area lately. Hard to keep them all cool but trying my best. Everything's looking good as far as I can tell. 👌 June 25th : Tried my hand at more closeups boy was it a failure. Gotta turn off those damn fans next time *lol* 3 out of like 40 clicks were "ok". Oh well.. Another day.. June 26th : Had the breaker for the room my tent was in keep tripping after adding the t5 lights to everything that's already on the same circuit.. had to move the ac to another circuit. June 27th : Ended up bumping the timer switch on the lights to always on and ended up giving the girls 18 hours of light. 😭 Praying nothing goes hermie.. Didn't have time for pics the last two nights as I've had previous obligations.
