Time for the stretch! Lots of flowering growth happening now. I can see where the bud spots will be so I’m going to have to stop moving the branching around in the Scrog, also the branches are getting thick and less pliable.

Day 57 (2020-07-05): Feeding @ 5.8 PH. Removed a few leaves. Day 58 (2020-07-06): Noticing a few amber trichromes on the CBD Crack. Wondering if it might be time to start thinking about pre-harvest flushing. Day 59 (2020-07-07): Fed today @ 5.75 PH. Day 60 (2020-07-08): No news today. Plants are kind of on autopilot at this point. Day 61 (2020-07-09): Waiting to feed until tomorrow. Day 62 (2020-07-10): Fed today @ 5.6 PH Day 63 (2020-07-11): Leaves on both plants look pretty rough at this stage, but buds are looking nice all around! Guessing 1-2 weeks left on the CBD. Will probably start flushing sometime next week. G14 seems to be running behind at least a week.

🌱 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.

I noticed a slow down on growth this week. I’m guessing the amendments I added are all used up. Next week will start heavier feeding, especially with the bloom nutrients. Trichomes are densely populated throughout the plant. One plant has thin unimpressive buds and the other has perfect growth for week number four of flower.

- End of week 5 I topped them and they seem to react very well to it. Looking nice healthy and green , exept for the blue zushi on the right. It's growing really weird, but it seems to keep up with the other plants. I don't know if i will put it into flower. The 2 blueberry cupcake ( back row) on the right, are bigger then the rest. I bend one of them so it will be more even . Most of the plants have a different structure. They are f1 seeds , So there's a good chance you'll have different phenotypes Now i will train them a litte untill they are big enough, and then place a trellis net.

Grow Journal Week 3: Bloom Phase Progress 🌼 Hello dear growers and growerettes, I’m thrilled to share the third week of the bloom phase in our grow journal! Here are all the details for Week 3: Weekly Progress We are at the end of Bloom Week 3, and the plants are thriving! Even our previously problematic plant has made a full recovery. My favorite plant, the one on the left, has claimed an entire half of the tent for itself. The stretch phase has now concluded, and I am very pleased with the results. Watering and Control Systems The watering system is operating smoothly, even with the increased water consumption of the ladies. The Blumat and TrolMaster systems are working without any issues. Challenges In Week 2, I performed a heavy defoliation since I had some time that day. Although it was a bit early, the ladies have recovered well. Due to limited time over the past two weeks, and this likely continuing until the end of December, I've been doing my best to keep the journal as current as possible. Goals and Expectations In the next two weeks, I expect my buds to start swelling, and I am very excited about this development. Thank you for following along, and stay tuned for more updates! 🌿✨

It was a rough week for the girl. We had bad weather this past week very high humidity and lots of rain. I also dealt with some powdery white mold which I was able to get under control by using baking soda and water and removing lots of leaves. The buds are much more dense and the trichomes are starting to turn milky. Ideally I would have liked to keep this plant in the ground one more week but we have more nasty weather coming so I will be most likely be pulling this girl in the next three days. It has been about 11 days since I have given her any nutrients and she has received a lot of rain water. I pulled some of the lower branch when I found the PWM just in-case and I have those dry right now.

Day 43 (15 of flowering) stopped top max. Added 2 ml more of bio grow, Let’s see what’s going to change. Stretching is visible every day more. Now just waiting to big bud increasing. Next week i’ll add Carbon Filter to ventilation set up. I think other 6 weeks left. Day 45, added Rhino skin, let’see next change. Day 46, i think streching is finish. Now just waiting to get that bud big and fat. Removed top max 4 days ago, and added 2 ml of rhino yesterday just to improve stem and branches, i added cause i tought to a nutrients déficience but at thé end after reading answers to my question i fixed air ventilation that was increasing too much the temperature in the up per side of the grow. Soil Ph is 6,8. Day 48, i just moved my ventilation that was causing some issue to the highest bud of orange. Rhino by adv increasing stem health is visible now and color are great. I think orange will take at least 2/3 weeks more than Blue dream auto Any suggestion is accepted :) Let’s go.

A planta que parecia que juntava mais água de fato demorou mais pra secar e acho que a colheita foi um pouco antes da hora, ela aguentaria e se beneficiaria de mais uma ou duas semanas. Acabou que ficou mais fraca. Dei mole na forma de tirar o SCroG também e posso ter perdido um pouco pela falta de habilidade, vale mais a pena já cortar e pendurar pra secar somente os galhos e não a planta inteira, até pra retirar do SCroG.

The girls started flowering and shooting 🌠 to the sky. The internodes are quite far from each other. The one with the earlier side branches just ended up having two small leaches.

Soon going in to flower😍

Pronti per iniziare un nuovo ciclo aspettando che queste siano pronte per fumarle... questa sera mi sentirò un po più solo, dato che non andrò a visitare le mie cucciole e non controllero ec e ph... Inizio al più presto.. la pianta é vita!

420Fastbuds StrawberryGorillaAuto Week 5 What up grow fam. Hopefully everyone had a great 420. These 3 beautiful ladies are growing amazing. Started there transition into flower this past week. So where starting to get some great growth and all in all the plants look super healthy. Happy Growing

They all got topped last week and they responded very well and quickly as you can see...im going to let them grow this week and lollipop a little and maybe top next week.

Por lejos este ha sido mi mejor cultivo hasta ahora, han sido los cogollos más grandes, densos y llenos de tricomas que he cultivado, comparado con el cultivo anterior en el que usé el mismo tipo de planta, está vez fue muy superior. Los motivos de la mejora pueden ser varios, incluidos más luz, ya que en el cultivo anterior solo tuve 480w, ahora fueron 720w, también usé tutores y palitos de madera para crear una estructura firme en algunas plantas, y fueron estás mismas las que tuvieron los cogollos más grandes, así que lo usaré en todas las plantas del siguiente cultivo. Además el tiempo de cultivo se redujo de 4 meses a 3 meses y medio, aprox. Ahora solo queda esperar unas 2 semanas para el secado y ver cuánto fue la cosecha total en gramos secos, la anterior fue de 635 gramos secos, está yo creo que por lo menos rondará los 700 gramos secos, incluso puede que me sorprenda y sea mucho más.

Good week here #1 is 10" and wider,took a clone. #2 is nice too she is 8.5" tall , both are healthy i will be flowering soon, I want both about 12" when I flower them. So maybe mid week flip? We see. Thank you for dropping in hope you have a great day🙏 1/08/19 Mid week both one and two are females, I will try to a good picture to show her pistils. #1 is 11.5" tall, and # 2 is 9.5" i anticipate flowering plants at start of week 8.

Thought it was all over…….Thrips nearly destroyed my grow. Some Cannacure and some praying and they’re doing ok …………I think 🧐 2 hour power cut, 3 days later Electric surged blew bulb, few hours without hps light.
