Hope I can hold out for a couple of more weeks, should have had a second trellis to support the gorilla girls as I as I wasn't expecting the lower flowers to get so big. Thing are leaning everywhere. I am grateful that its quite dry where I am and don't have to worry about mold too much. I do have a bit of wind burn as you can see in some of the pics but very hardy plants overall.

I love growing with GrowDiaries! It's great to be able too look back at previous grows and compare. Being able to share with the community is a bonus!! This strain was so easy to grow I found her and her brothers picky on ph, but most are. I'm excited to growing again. @honeycombhydrollc @thefreakoff2021

The final Week, before harvest! She has some massive towering buds! 2.5 gallons of water is lasting this plant 5-6 days before drying out, and ready for more.. She was harvested instead of being watered!

🌱 Skywalker OG — Week 3 VEG Report 12/12 from seed | Vegetative phase ongoing General Overview Week 3 of vegetative growth ends with Skywalker OG performing exceptionally well. Both plants are growing in near-perfect sync, once again showing that environmental consistency is doing the heavy lifting here. Despite being grown in different containers (plastic pots vs Pro-Mix bags), there is no visible difference in growth rate, structure, or vigor. Rhythm, height, and development remain aligned — true twins in motion. Growth this week has been fast, confident, and clean. Growth & Structure • Stage: Vegetative • Flowering signs: None observed • Node count: ~6 nodes • Growth habit: Compact, fast, very controlled • Internodal spacing: Tight • Leaf development: Large fan leaves, dominant canopy At this stage, Skywalker OG is clearly prioritizing leaf mass and photosynthetic surface over branch elongation. Branches are present but still relatively short compared to leaf size — a classic sign of a plant building energy reserves before structural expansion. There are a few funky leaf expressions here and there — small personality traits rather than problems. Nothing concerning, nothing progressive, and nothing that requires correction. No training has been applied so far. ⸻ Container Comparison — Pot vs Pro-Mix Bag An important observation this week: There is no meaningful difference in growth between the plastic pot and the Pro-Mix bag. Both plants: • Grow at the same pace • Maintain similar height • Express similar leaf size and color This reinforces that, at this stage, root environment is equally supportive in both setups under these conditions. ⸻ Training Outlook While no training has been done yet, Week 3 observations suggest that training may begin next week to encourage lower branch development. The idea is not to force growth, but to: • Balance canopy dominance • Promote lower branch exposure • Prepare structure early and gently For now, observation continues. ⸻ 📸 Photo & Video Documentation This week includes both photos and a short video captured during the photo session. During the session, content from My Cheap Home Grow was playing in the background — a YouTube channel focused on home growing, sharing practical experience, open discussion, and solid grow knowledge. It’s a great resource with: • Passionate growers • Real-world setups • Honest learning environments If you’re into growing and learning from others, it’s definitely worth checking out. https://www.youtube.com/@cheaphomegrow7096 ⸻ Environment — Room Conditions (Week 3) • Photoperiod: 12/12 from seed • Day temperature: ~26 °C • Night temperature: ~18 °C • Relative Humidity: 60–65% • VPD: In optimal vegetative range • Airflow: Gentle, constant, non-stressful • Solution temperature: ~21 °C • Substrate temperature: ~21 °C Environmental stability remains consistent across the room. ⸻ 💡 Lighting • PPFD: ~600–700 (adjusted to plant size) • Plants continue to grow naturally into the light • No stretch, no light stress ⸻ 💧 Watering & Nutrition • pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.0 Nutrient program: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal Foliar: • Vita Race • Used selectively and intentionally Nutrition continues to support strong vegetative growth, lush color, and clean metabolism. ⸻ 🔍 What to Expect / What Not to Expect (Next Week) What to expect: • Continued vegetative expansion • Larger fan leaves • Potential start of gentle training • Increased lower-branch response once canopy opens What not to expect (yet): • No flowering initiation • No stretch explosion • No need to increase EC or push inputs Patience and observation remain the focus. ⸻ Final Thoughts Skywalker OG closes Week 3 as fast, lush, and confident. Tight internodes, big leaves, and twin-like behavior across different containers confirm that conditions are dialed in and the plants are comfortable. No rush. No force. Just strong foundations being built.

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.

Week 3 Blossom Ballet: Cherry Cola's Floral Extravaganza Unleashed Greetings, fellow green enthusiasts! We've hit Week 3 in the enchanting flower journey of our beloved Cherry Cola Auto, and let me tell you, the botanical ballet within the tent is reaching an unprecedented crescendo. Our green queen is unleashing a floral extravaganza that's nothing short of spectacular. As we dive into the heart of Week 3, the tent is transformed into a vibrant canvas of blooming beauty. The once-lush bush has metamorphosed into a floral symphony, each bud site a note in a melodious composition. The topping technique deployed earlier is now revealing its full glory, with multiple colas reaching for the spotlight. The decision to release our Cherry Cola from training supports continues to pay dividends. She's embracing her freedom with a wild elegance, and the tent is now an immersive experience of green abundance. The bushy ballet is a testament to the success of our horticultural endeavors, creating a living masterpiece. The topping triumph from the previous weeks echoes in every corner of the tent. The colas have matured into regal structures, each vying for attention in this botanical drama. The decision to venture into topping during the vegetative phase has proven to be a stroke of genius, enhancing both yield potential and structural beauty. Ah, a crucial note in our nutrient symphony! I introduced Potassium (K) to our water mix, adding another layer of vitality to our Cherry Cola's performance. P-Boost's phosphorus prowess, coupled with Topbooster's organic grace, dances in harmony with the added Potassium, contributing to the formation of hefty buds and enhancing the overall flowering response. Visual euphoria reigns supreme as our Cherry Cola daily unfurls new growth, showcasing the sheer energy and vitality she possesses. It's not just a plant; it's a living canvas of horticultural artistry that leaves me in perpetual awe. As we wrap up Week 3, Cherry Cola Auto stands as a living testament to the joy and wonder of cultivation. The floral odyssey is far from over, and the tent is a stage for a botanical performance that promises to linger in our memories. Stay tuned, fellow enthusiasts, as the Cherry Cola Chronicles continue to unfold! Genetics Cherry Cola Auto @Fast_Buds @fastbuds_genetics_official @fastbuds_official @fastbuds_espana Nutrition: @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_ Love, Care, and Attention: @dogdoctorofficial As always, thank you all for joining me on this journey, for your love, and for it all.

D28 - The first day in the fourth week of veg for Nordle #2 and the start of the third week for #1. I gave both girls around 2.5-liters of the compost tea I started brewing yesterday, and for once, I remembered to check the pH and adjust it to 6.5. Yay, progress! D29 - Today, it was finally time to top the second girl. She was already seven nodes tall, around 30 cm. First, I got everything together as I prefer to have what I need before starting instead of running around looking for something mid-process: Snips, a couple of glasses with water to put cuttings in, bonsai wire and soil staples, clone-gel and a new razor blade, dwc cloner, peppermint oil and Q-tip. After cleaning the snips thoroughly with alcohol, I topped her just above her fourth node. I'm going to mainline her, so I removed everything below the fourth as well. She went from a lush lady to a stick figure! I secured her remaining two branches using staples and wire. The final touch in the tent was to put some peppermint oil on a Q-tip. Bugs and pests are attracted to the scent of injured plants. On the other hand, they hate the smell of peppermint oil, and it should deter the critters even though the girl smells like a buffet. I bought this tiny DWC system for a few bucks off Amazon a while back and want to try it as a cloner. (The primary purpose of this cloning project is to practice taking clones, plus see how well this hydro system works.) I trimmed each cutting before lightly scraping the stalk, making a fresh cut with the razor blade, and finally into a net-pot. I had planned to put some clone-gel into the water, but it turned out that the bottle had gone bad since last time. Oh well, pure water for this test run then. Finally, I cut up all the removed leaves and stalks into small pieces and distributed them on top of the soil in the pot. Have to keep that nutrition cycle going. Plus, like this, I don't have to worry about safely disposing those telltale leaves. Win-win in my book. D34 - The final day in the fourth week of veg for Nordle #2 and the end of the third week for #1. #2 has recovered great after her first topping, and I'm planning on doing her second topping tomorrow, six days after the first. #1 is a week behind so I'm planning on topping her in a couple of days as I want to make sure that her fourth node is at the same height as the fourth node on the second girl. The clones are looking really healthy but no roots yet but maybe that is to be expected considering that I'm using no rooting hormones.

Day 29 and starting off Week 4 awesome even with my big mistake and not knowing that on mainlining you top first time at third node but the second toppings you can do at first with enough growth but in waited till 3rd on both new mains.. o well you live and learn but hey she looks like shes doing fine atleast will have some nice buds Day 32 update: Now that I have the fungus gnats under control everything has been perfect.. used Foxfarm SledgeHammer to water her to flush all that extra leftover salts in the soil out from the grow nutes, because will be switching to my bloom nutes on next watering, and she seems to have liked it.

Hey ho ihr growmies wie man den Bildern entnehmen kann geht es den Damen prächtig sie Mästen sich von tag zu Tag mehr und sind schon gut übersät mit trichomen der Duft erinnert total an leicht süße Melonen mit einem Hauch von diesel und einem extremen Ur typischem Cannabis Geruch der so extrem ist das ich nachdem ich das Zelt geschlossen habe es noch mindestens 1std später in meinen Nasen Flügeln kleben habe (den Geruch) und wenn es um kleben geht ist das 2 Komponenten kleber Sowas von klebrig das wenn du sie nur berührst bis zum abend klebrige Hände bekommst egal wie oft du deine Hände wäschst (hatte kein Reinigungs Alkohol mehr da😂) ansonsten gibt es nicht viel zu erzählen.... Bis nächste Woche und euch viel Erfolg beim grown cu!
