Skywalker OGs continues to live up to the name. What started as a compact, promising plants has now turned into one of those runs that quietly earns respect week after week. Dense flowers, heavy frost, strong stacking, and far more weight than expected from her frame. She never needed to be the tallest plant in the room to become one of the most impressive. She simply did what great plants do — stayed consistent, stayed efficient, and let quality build over time. This is what happens when stable genetics meet a stable room. 12/12 from seed. Controlled environment. Steady feedings. Minimal stress. No chasing. No overcorrection. Just rhythm, patience, and letting the plant do what it was built to do. And now we’re entering the final phase. The plant has done the work. From here forward, the goal is not to push harder. The goal is to finish cleaner. That means no more nutritional feeding from this point on. From here until harvest, she receives only water and enzymes. Not because she is lacking. Because she is done building. At this stage, continuing to push nutrients often does more harm than good. Nitrogen is no longer needed in quantity, phosphorus demand slows, and excess minerals in late flower rarely translate into better flowers. More often, they delay senescence, slow the natural finish, and leave the plant focused on processing surplus instead of completing ripening. By removing nutrients now, we stop asking the plant to keep producing and allow it to begin finishing. That shift matters. This is where the plant starts relying on what it has already stored. Mobile nutrients begin moving. Fan leaves begin fading. Internal reserves begin being used. The plant starts consuming itself exactly the way it was designed to at the end of its cycle. That fade is not a problem to correct. It is the signal that the plant has entered the final metabolic stage. And this is exactly where enzymes become useful. From here on, Pure Zym stays in the water for one reason: cleanup. No more feeding the plant directly. Now we feed the medium. Enzymes help break down dead root material, leftover organic residue, and unused matter in the substrate. That keeps the rhizosphere cleaner, keeps the medium biologically active, and helps the plant access what is still available in a softer, more natural way without adding fresh nutritional load. At this point, enzymes are less about “feeding” and more about support. They help the medium stay functional. They help the root zone stay clean. They help the plant finish without unnecessary buildup. Simple in practice, but very useful in late flower. The same logic applies above the canopy. We are also beginning to reduce light intensity slightly for the final stretch. Not dramatically. Not enough to stall development. Just enough to begin easing the plant into the end of its cycle. Less demand. Less stress. Less need to force photosynthetic output when the plant is no longer focused on expansion. This is less about reducing production and more about reducing pressure. In nature, the final weeks do not arrive with increasing intensity. They arrive softer. Shorter days. Lower energy. A slower rhythm. So we mirror that where we can. Slightly lower PPFD. Slightly less metabolic pressure. A gentler finish. The goal now is not to make her grow more. The goal is to help her mature better. That includes the visual changes now beginning to show. Fading is starting. Still early. Still light. Nothing dramatic yet. But it is coming. And that is exactly what we want to see. The green will slowly begin to recede. Stored nutrients will continue to move. Colors will shift. Uptake will slow. Water demand will eventually begin to drop. And the plant will tell us, clearly, when it is ready. Right now they are still drinking well — around 1.4L per day — which tells us they are still actively working, still metabolically engaged, and not yet at the true end. That number should begin tapering in the coming weeks. When it does, the plant is telling us the finish line is close. Until then, we watch. We do not force. We do not rush. We let the plant speak first. Room conditions remain largely unchanged because they have worked, and there is no reason to reinvent what already functions. 26°C day 18°C night 60% RH ~21°C solution ~22°C substrate Strong airflow ~1000 ppm CO₂ Stable, predictable, repeatable. That consistency is part of why this run has gone the way it has. The only real changes now are in the feed itself. EC is down to nearly nothing. TDS sits around 0.2. Only enzymes in solution. And pH is no longer being adjusted. At this stage, with no real nutrient load in the mix, there is very little to correct. The water blend — rainwater and dehumidifier water — lands naturally around 6.8–7.0, and in this final phase that is more than acceptable for what we are asking the plant to do. We are no longer trying to optimize aggressive nutrient uptake. We are simply maintaining hydration, root function, and a clean finish. Different phase. Different goal. Different logic. And she smells exactly like she looks. Strong. Loud. Room-filling. The kind of plant that announces itself before you even touch it. She has entered that stage now — where aroma stops being a trait and starts becoming presence. And honestly, Skywalker OG has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the run. Not because she demanded attention. Because she earned it. Quietly. Consistently. Without drama. Without excess. Just dense, frosted, honest flowers built week after week under stable conditions. Exactly the kind of plants that reminds you why simplicity still wins. Big thanks to Zamnesia for the genetics. Plagron for keeping the medium and inputs consistent. And GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document the process properly. And to everyone following along — old names, new names, quiet supporters, loud supporters, long-time growers, first-time growers, lovers, lurkers, doubters and believers alike — respect. There’s room for everyone here. See you in the next week. The plant will tell us when. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

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.

todo muy bien! esperando paciente el desarrollo de los cogollos, conociendo y viendo los puntos de maduracion asi como la fertilizacion ajustando a su maximo que creemos posible para incentivar que los cogollos engorden, ahora en adelante les hare segumiento de la grande principalmente, que es la que cumple con la edad del diario, ya que las otras como se explico en un principio venian recien cultivadas por eso tienen un par de semanas de retraso , tambien hay una hermafrodita, que al detectar como comentamos semanas anteriores aplicamos al tecnica vista de un cultivador mexicano, consistia en romper los brotes de machos las pelotas con el fin de que no vuelvan a salir, dejando solo los pelos estigmas de las hermbras, si bien el cogollo queda maltratado, al parecer se detiene el crecimiento, asi que estamos viendo como rinde ese experimento.

I'm like 5 days late with this update so I have had to pin videos that I took the same week while I was communicating with TRYHARD so ignore any dialogue that's out of context they aren't diary logs they are simply correspondence between myself And TRY, oh and sorry about my language I'm common as muck me. The pictures are just random pics I took that week as oppose to my usual more organised method but hey ho I'll do a more tidy job next week. The week went swimmingly barring some nitrogen deff on the lowers which I initially put down to the hot weather drying the pots too quickly and causing nute lockout with the salt buildup so I flushed then gave them a nice feed after they dried the pot at which point I noticed the most heavily afflicted by the N deff were also the quickest drinkers and had lower EC on the runoff so I have been giving them a slightly stronger feed than the others and it seems to have solved everything so I'm happy with that. Bud development is nice, frost is nice, terps are through the roof right now..... Zkittlez ones are really stinking of lime and candy bubblegum Punch ones are stinking berry berry nice! Grandpas Crush is smelling kinda hazey right now but I'm hoping the berries comes out of her too. Little else to report really. Thanks for reading One Love 💚 Fire Farmer🔥👨‍🌾

The baby's have started there stretch phase and been started on big bud coco , I've also been using great white microrhizo and man I love it I think that has earned its place in my nute arsenal ! Double grape doing great nice branchy structure from training and topping with loads of heads Creme de la Chem Didn't like topping as much but has recovered well one is really tall going to be a big girl ! 3bears og First time running it and I love it already really rapid and strong growth multiple colas loved the topping ! I've just poped another 10 so new diary time !

Look good!!! She's grown quite a bit this week. Now I'm watering it one day yes and one day no. She's appreciate that. This variety won't say no to food ( at least for the moment that's the feeling I get.) See you in the next week!

I moved the lamp away from the plant, and it seemed to have a good impact on the yellow leaves. The plant is over 50 days old so it's starting to develop some yellow leaves just from age. I really am enjoying watching the buds fat and up but I'm a little bit nervous because it only has about 20 to 25 more days and they don't look very fat.

Had to harvest a little early, the high is very clarifying, and long lasting. The trichomes were mostly clear, with some slightly milky, not much amber at all. Flavours will be updated after a bit more testing. 20inx20inx36in grow space, 100w quantum board. Taste/effects/more info will be added after some curing time. A little bit sad that I had to harvest around a week early due to a small amount of bud rot, but it looks and smells great, I cant wait to actually try it out. Harvested 125 grams(dried) total from the 3 plants, I honestly didn't expect to get such an amount on the first try. Bud was so sticky during the final dry trim, my scissors kept getting stuck on themselves and I had to keep cleaning them often. Out of the 3 plants it was probably around 50g/50g/25g as the one in the back corner was smaller than the rest, but just as frosty. Great seeds, I would like to try the photo period version in the future.

Blütetag 77 – Geduld zahlt sich aus Drei Wochen über Herstellerangabe – und genau deshalb fühlt sich dieser Zeitpunkt richtig an. Ich habe mich bewusst entschieden, nicht nach Kalender, sondern nach Reifegrad zu gehen. Ziel ist ein stark körperbetontes, sedierendes Endergebnis – also Geduld statt Eile. Der Fade ist deutlich, die Blätter verlieren an Kraft, während die Buds dicht, harzig und vollständig ausgereift wirken. Jetzt geht es nicht mehr um Masse, sondern um Feinreife. Die finale Woche beginnt. 🌿 Abschlussbericht – Franco’s Lemon Cheese 🍋🧀 | Tag 80 – Ernte Tag 80. Heute ist der Tag, auf den ich die ganze Zeit hingearbeitet habe: Erntezeit. Nach geduldigem Warten ist der Amber-Anteil jetzt genau da, wo ich ihn haben wollte – und damit ist für mich der perfekte Punkt erreicht, um die Schere anzusetzen. Dieser Run war für mich vor allem eins: Kontrolle, Geduld und Feintuning. Ich hab bewusst nicht überhastet reagiert, sondern die Pflanze sauber bis zum Ende geführt. Die letzten Tage waren nochmal pures Beobachten: Trichome checken, Reife bewerten, Bauchgefühl + Lupe zusammenführen – und heute hat’s einfach „klick“ gemacht. Was ich mitnehme aus diesem Grow • Timing schlägt Stress: Das bisschen extra warten hat sich gelohnt – genau diese letzten Prozent machen am Ende den Unterschied. • Reife vor Optik: Nicht nur nach „sieht fertig aus“ gehen, sondern nach dem, was die Trichome wirklich sagen. • Stabil bis zum Schluss: Gerade die Endphase entscheidet, ob man mit einem guten Ergebnis endet oder mit einem „hätte ich mal…“. Jetzt startet Phase 2 Ab jetzt geht’s nicht mehr um Wachstum, sondern um Qualität sichern: Trocknung, Klima, Geduld – und dann Curing, bis die Franco’s Lemon Cheese genau das wird, was sie sein soll: hart, aromatisch, sauber, fertig. Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden mit den nächsten Updates zu: • Wet Trim / Dry Trim • Trocknungsdauer & Klima • Erster Smoke-/Vape-Test • Curing-Woche 1–4 Bis hierhin: Run sauber durchgezogen. Heute wird geerntet. 🍋🧀✂️ Trocknung ist gestartet und läuft kontrolliert über den Controller: • 60% rF • 2% Totzone • 16–18°C Jetzt heißt’s: Ruhe bewahren, Klima stabil halten und langsam trocknen, damit Terps und Qualität sauber erhalten bleiben. Nächster Step: Dry-Check & Trim, sobald die Äste anfangen leicht zu “snappen”.

July 5: Sunday Punch EV is getting nice and big. She’s starting to preflower but i’ll do one more week of veg before force flowering starting next Saturday. These EVs might not need to be forced but the buds are better when formed under stronger summer sun. Great plant. July 8: added Power Bloom and barley in a 1:1 mix as a top dressing. July 10: still growing fast and definitely starting to flower.

I lied i gave it this side a little more of a pruning of fan leaves and also took a little more of the lowers. These plants really over filled the space and are begging for more ventilation and light.

The buds get bigger and bigger ... The perfume, even if contained for the low humidity, is beautiful sweet mixed to that similar to the resin of the conifers. as I had foreseen, the plant was destined not to grow much and so it was I was smart to start with a nice LST so as to keep the plant low and so to make all the tops swell .. shortly I put the video All in all a beautiful plant that will surely give me satisfaction

03.08.21 Moin Growmies hab mir in der letzten Woche Gedanken gemacht zu meinem Vorhaben mit den Tomatenringen und mir ist aufgefallen das die Ladys nicht Grad gleichmäßig wachsen ,das liegt sicherlich daran das ich Depp wieder schlauer sein wollte und ein paar Seitenäste dran gelassen habe sprich beim ersten topping hätte ich alles entfernen sollen bis auf die 2 Triebe von der 3. Nodie und ich hab die 2 nodie mit stehen lassen weil ich dachte ich bin schlauer 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬ich könnte mich selber schlagen für die Dummheit naja Ergebniss des ganzen ist ungleichmäßiges Wachstum somit kann ich die Sache mit den Tomaten Ringen vergessen.......... Hab jetzt aber mein System noch einmal überarbeitet andere Topferhöhung ( 2x alte Bilderrahmen aus Holz auf Paletten Balken geschraubt und mit Hühner Draht bespannt das ganze auf Steine gestellt damit ich ne Wanne darunter stellen kann für abtropfwasser) den Rahmen vom scrogg netzt wieder raus gesammelt und neu bespannt ( Rahmen 90x90 cm aus nem alten Pavillon Gestell zurecht gesägt und mit Zaun bespannt die Abstände zwischen den einzelnen Rauten beträgt 6 cm sollte ausreichend Platz für die Triebe sein) habe das ganze gestern auf einer Höhe von 16 cm über dem Topfrand eingebaut mit Kabelbindern an den Zeltstangen befestigt somit hängt es an seiner Position fest und kann nicht von den Pflanzen hoch gedrückt werden wenn sie in die Blüte geht. Also is nun doch wieder ein sqrogg draus geworden aber den Ladys geht es insgesamt gut sie wachsen und gedeihen und wirken insgesamt gesund in den nächsten Wochen werde ich nun die Ladys in das netzt weben und Mal sehen was sie von scrogging Alla Milchschnitte halten. Ach ja die purps aus dem Garten sind anscheinend direkt nach dem umtopfen in den Stretch zur Blüte gegangen war ein bisschen spät dran fürs raus setzten aber lässt sich jetzt nicht ändern Mal sehen was draus wird,vll ja ein Gummibärchen Baum 😏😉 hab den outdoor Ladys gestern nen kleinen Regenschutz gebaut, is nicht der schönste aber er sollte seinen Zweck erfüllen damit der Topf Mal abtrocknen kann das Wetter ist seit fast 14 Tagen hart wechselhaft und der Topf noch nicht 1x richtig trocken gewesen das war's eigendlich was bis heut passiert ist cu Growmies und euch noch viel Erfolg........
