I've started decreasing my CO2 dosage as I have reduced my nitrogen load. I'm going to slowly keep removing any unnecessary vegetation. I have turned off my space heater at night to get colder temperatures. I started feeding extremely heroic doses of calmag (Rooted Leaf 0-0-0 CalMag plus) These buds are extreeeemely dense and covered in trichomes with a really gassy smell. Some pistils are starting to change colour to a deep amber.

12cm vertical growth but look how bushy she is! Not quite entered flowering yet, but that's good... More veg time = bigger plant 😍

Buds just getting bigger, oscillating fan packed up so turned up the extraction fan. Watering now with no nutrients and she is still drinking a lot. Must be patient!!!

June 27th - field checks for sure as the week progresses. Making sure outdoor plants get amended with updated feedings and Mtce. ~ 6 more weeks of Veg, thats all !!! - Southern Ontario gets just 14hrs of day-lite on Aug 13th. That is the first day of Flower for me. 28th - visited Congo #3 x Bangi Haze, Purple Dawn and Russian Tzar Bomba - top-dressed each 15 gal fabric pot - re-applied support bamboo and isolated stalk - great to see Lady Bugs on the plants. We could find no other insects or bite marks. LadyBugs are welcome anytime July 1/2 - cleaned the weeds around the plant bases / hillside of the LSD and Panama Red plants ( + purpsberry and Honduras x Panama) - noticed the wind had Split the FIM-site on the Panama Red. Being so fresh, duct-tape leaves no fear that the repaired-joint is exposed. “Are Toppings safer than FIMS, when exposed to outdoor Wind stresses ?” Maybe that little nuggett on top truly holds the joint together. The split on the Fim was about to go right down the plant. - soils amended towards 15gal pots, with fresh Fertilizer, compost, azomite, kelp meal - each plant given a gallon of nutrients on the first, ahead of a possible storm. No storm, plants fed 1.25 gallons of root boost ea., through Soil Amendment… today, the 2nd - next couple of waterings are Reduced strength but full spectrum Nutrients. - Panama Red is as wide as it is tall. With wispy branches that are full of tiny delicate leaves. I threw a quik video into the photos. Better effort next time. There is a Real lacey kind of branch network on this strain - LSD is a hardy stocky plant. Supernhealthy

Their first Neem oil leaf drench massage. Their first fertigation or watering. For the Og kush the third week Biobizz nutrient dose was followed. The only addition to the third week All Mix dosology was the inclusion of Alg a mic. At the above rate + Great white + bactrex. The above list of nutrients correspond to the OG KUSH Allmix schedule and doses. Fot the amnesia haze the watering had only Bactrex, White sark and Pro symbiotic at the doses listed above. No pH was adjusted nor measured and no EC either. *03/29 UPDATE* Since no option given for "breaking down" each strain individually ragarding the Nutrients section I ll update the irrigation/fertigation/nutrient regimen for each week in this section. Each time something changes on the Nutrients section it ll always be the last used doses of nutrients only for the OG Kush strain. For the Amnesia only CalMag treated water will be given in alternate irrigations along with a twice a week bacteria introduction to the system. So, today both plants got 1.8 lts of RODI CalMag treated water to .340EC with a controlled pH of 6.3. The Amnesia had a significantly higher runoff which I didn't anticipate nor understand but I'll find out why for sure. Some light LST directional guiding was given to the plants for forming purposes and future canopy levelling. In the Grow Hut since day one the plants are continuously enjoying the company of Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia s music. They love it! *03/30 UPDATE* The best possible outcome regarding live phytoprotection by beneficial insects for pest control. As of yesterday I have two unidentified tiny sliders, possibly common garden ones and as of today a Coccinellidae sp. larvae running around the canopy (check the video) Hope for many more of them sweet protectors. Neem oil along with DE has successfully helped in deterring some Gnat "congregation". *03/31 UPDATE* Plants are growing strong and vigorous. Some LST done and their new canopy hairdo can be seen in the pics.

og kush was harvested after a good wash - i will keep posted how much the dry result crirical kush and chocolop will start their wash in the end of this week

With the last heat wave, I had an answer to one of my questions, clearly my chiller is not doing the trick. I have water temperatures that went up to 27°, which is way too much, the plants deprived of oxygen, started to declare several deficiencies due to an assimilation slowed by the lack of oxygen. It is then that a nasty fungus came to say bijour, it is me MR pythium! It was necessary to act, at the risk of having to restart the culture. So I applied hydrogen peroxide and ROOT ROT X, and both products are doing harm to this nasty pythium, things are now back to normal. On the other hand, the plants had a decreased growth for 10 to 15 days, so I'm going to extend my growth for 10 to 20 days, that is to say 1 or 2 soups, I'll choose according to the root development of the plants. Before going to flowering, I have to catch up this delay in order to make a nice crop.

Seems to be growing and looking good. I can’t wait to see how she grows out.

Love this strain and breeder, he is a Virginia based and local. Super easy to grow.

I made some begginers mistakes in week 4 but this lady Is strong and bounced back 3/02/21 i snapped a big fan leaf :((

🌱 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.

Day 44 since flipping and this girl is getting close to finishing. No more feeding for her. Just some Cyco Supa Sticky today and next watering and water from there on out. Got about 75-80 percent cloudy. The sweet orange citrus smell is PHENOMENAL! Got about 2, maybe 3, weeks left and she'll be done. Had to tie up a couple branches because she's falling over from putting on weight! I love her!

Day 64: from seed. I am waiting for a few more squares to fill up before flipping to Flower. It won't be long now! I'm thinking I'll end up cutting this week short and flipping to Flower on Sunday. Plants are super healthy and are amazing bushes. I can't wait to see and smell their flowers! Day 65: URB foliar in the morning and Cal-Mag foliar in the evening. A little more tucking, but not too much. Feeding the heaviest dose yet tomorrow, but really not that much. I'm pretty sure they can handle it just fine and probably are looking forward to the added boost. Day 66: Fed feed week 7 nutes today and checked pH and ppm of runoff. pH was 6.4 and ppm was around 450. I think I'm pretty good on those readings. Today was a heavier feeding, so I'll check the runoff after next urb/cal-mag feed on Saturday. Did a bunch of tucking and sprayed URB after feeding and then cal-mag this evening. I have to say, I think foliar feeding is the way to go in addition to everything else. Day 67: Urb foliar in the morning and cal-mag foliar in the evening. I tucked a bit more and lowered the light to about 20" or so. I'll lower it to 18" over the next couple of days preparing for the flip.

Week 3 FULL Update Video on Youtube (Transplanting): http://tinyurl.com/95zk9srx Transplanted into final 5.4gal (knockoff) air pots. Mixed the super soil in. Forgot the mykos, but there should be plenty of activity with the mychorrhizae, and they didnt shock at all (my main reason for adding). I did put the mykos on the peat puck and in the small propagation pots, at least, so it should be innoculated. Watered in with, and then foliar with, activated and aerated Recharge. As noted in the video, I also forgot that these are symmetrical as theyre not clones, and did not orient the plants properly to make sure all the good horizontal branches were going to be horizontal. It'll be fine, but not absolutely ideal. Updates will happen live @ https://twitch.tv/jaindoh and be saved under my vod highlights. Aiming to make super introductory tutorials (as I am no Guru) and get constructive feedback on my techniques. Trying to convert smokers to growers!

Working towards germinating 4 autos. Hopefully all seeds will successfully take. Seeds will soak for a day or so and then into directly amended soil in fabric pots.
