Plants are requiring more and more of a feed to put on development. I tried to slightly lower the N balances but some of the plants showed deficiency. Raised the N back up and deficiency went away. Plants are fed almost daily, no watering in between. pH ranges from 5.7-6.5

Day 62: time to flush! Flushed her with canna flush once so now for 5-7 days I will just give her plain water with ph- She looks so nice! But way to much nitrogen in her This is the light that I’m using for this grow! Mars hydro SP3000 High PPFD at 2.8 umol/j, average yield at 2.5g/w, increasing your yield 50% or more compared with old blurple and HPS lights, 300 watts output. Dimmer knob added, more convenient to adjust the brightness. Up to 30 lights can be daisy-chained and control together on just one light, or just have one lamp in 120x60 tent is perfect for light. https://www.instagram.com/marshydro_aliexpress2/

🌱 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.

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.

Bud are thickening up. Buds are still pretty small though. She smells wonderful. She’s getting super frosty

2nd week of flowering and she is stretching for sure. Officially the tallest auto i've ever grown at 29" tall at day 43. New time lapse (first half is MDXXL) Day 43- No watering. Light defoliation and LST Day 44- Flush with Bush doctor Day 45-46- no water Day 47- Mammoth P/ Recharge/ Cal-Mag water @ 6.3ph and bloom khaos foliar feed @ 6.2ph Day 48-49 no watering

Day 43 Stretching has now stopped and the buds are already swelling nicely. Seriously frosty as you can see. Feeding 2.5 liters every 2/3 days Day 45 Slight yellowing and minor deficiencys showing so upping the N and cal-mag and also adding pk boost

Nothing special yet from this plant it’s still a little behind from most of them

These girls are taking off like a 🚀.Day 21 I’ve noticed all really healthy strong plants with min stretch as I now have the SE7000 set at 50 percent.So I did some LST and I expect to see some really good growth this week 🔥

Hello everyone week 1 of flower has passed for this Skywalker haze auto 💥 Mars hydro SP-6500 75% have a great day and wish you all happy growing 😎👨‍🌾🏻

Die Cookie Gelato duftet immer stärker von Tag zu Tag. Und die Blätter werden von der Mitte an rötlich und erscheinen somit lila😍 Sie ist sehr pflegeleicht. Ich arbeite aber auch mit Thermostat und Hygrostat 😁 und jetzt im Winter kann ich optimale Bedingungen für Sorten schaffen die "mildes" Klima benötigen 😎

Um suprise how fat does this buds getting. Some of the buds are start getting some frost. Will be done great CBD/THC oil.

She has a getting very close. I feel the next post will be chop. This week has been pretty easy really. She won’t make much but a few big bong loads is no more than I expected from 200 ML of dirt. It has been an adventure!! Now to slow down and let the big girls thrive. This little plant has been watered and checked 3-4 times daily for a while. I may do a tiny pot or solo cup grow again for fun though.. I honestly learned a lot from an extremely root bound tiny plant. I have been away from growing for 20 years to raise my kids free. Now I am legal and learning LED. It has been a fun year.

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Gelato 44 de RoyalQueenSeeds, que ganas que tenia ya de pasarles la tijera. Que locura de variedad , me encantó cultivarla, que aromas y que flores aparte de piedras, se ven resinosas y muy apetecibles a sido una genética con la que disfruté bastante todo el proceso, crece bastante vigorosa y al final saca unos tonos bastante llamativos. No supuso ningún problema todo el ciclo fue perfecto.

Had a pooling problem in nft tanks so i think growth has been stunted a little?

She is just waiting for Pandora to finish up then she will move to the flower tent.

Day 49- no real swelling yet. Buds are maturing and getting funky. Mystery bean is the biggest and fullest and just starting to put on some trichs. Still citrus smelling but not my favorite. Mostly just cronk bud booster and sticky bandit being fed at a very low dosage so mostly water till the end

🌸 End of Flowering Week 7 (D43–D49) → Entering Week 8 (D50) | Project WF We’ve officially closed Flowering Week 7 (Day 43 to Day 49) and are now entering Week 8 (Day 50) — the final and most critical stage where real quality and cleanliness are defined. This week was focused on root zone correction, EC reduction and preparing the plants for a clean and controlled finish, without forcing maturity or stressing the crop. 🌡️ Environmental Parameters (Week 7 avg) • Day temperature: 22–23.5 °C • Night temperature: 18–19 °C • Relative Humidity: 48–52 % • VPD: 1.30–1.45 kPa • PPFD: ~830–850 µmol/m²/s • CO₂: Ambient (~550–630 ppm) Stable conditions all week to keep metabolism active while avoiding unnecessary stress during late flowering. 💧 Irrigation & Feeding – Week 7 (Detailed) 📅 25/01 – Day 46 Total volume: 30 L (hand watered, stopping when plants drained) Recipe: • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra → 15 ml • Bio·Grow → 3 ml • Bio·Bloom → 120 ml • Top·Max → 24 ml • Bio·Heaven → 24 ml • Bud Candy → 36 ml • Atazyme → 30 ml Input values: • EC: ~0.98 mS • pH: 6.2 This irrigation initiated nutrient reduction and confirmed uneven salt accumulation between pots. 📅 29/01 – Day 49 Total volume: 50 L (high-volume strategic irrigation) Recipe: • Bio·Bloom → 200 ml (4 ml/L) • Top·Max → 50 ml (1 ml/L) • Bio·Heaven → 50 ml (1 ml/L) • Bud Candy → 50 ml (1 ml/L) • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra → 15 ml (0.3 ml/L) • Atazyme → 40 ml (0.8 ml/L) Input values: • EC: ~0.78 mS • pH: 6.2 Drain EC readings (by pot): • Range: 2.1 – 5.6 mS • Confirmed salt accumulation now actively being released. This irrigation was a pre-cleaning step, not a final flush, keeping roots active while opening the substrate. 📊 Week 7 Irrigation Summary • Total water applied: ~80 L • Average: ~11.4 L / 24h (including strategic high-volume irrigation) 🌿 Plant Status – End of Week 7 • Controlled senescence has started naturally. • Strong anthocyanin expression (genetics + environment). • Buds still finishing density, not rushed. • Trichomes shifting from clear → cloudy, amber still minimal. • No signs of acute stress, lockout or stalled metabolism. 🎯 Week 8 Objectives (From Day 50) Week 8 is about precision, not force. • Final nutrient closure initiated. • Progressive root zone cleaning strategy: • Pre-flush irrigation • Single controlled Final Flush • Water-only irrigation • Dry-back before harvest • Maintain stable PPFD and VPD to preserve terpenes and resin quality. • Focus shifts from yield to clean finish, flavor and combustion quality. This is the phase where premium crops are truly defined. More final-stage data, close-ups and detailed content coming soon on Instagram. Open to collaborations and data-driven partnerships with brands focused on precision growing and premium results. 📸 @waffleterps

Plants are getting put on 12/12 now while I hold some back for cuttings and to veg out more
