Intermediate Results Overview This grow was intense! Setting up the grow consumed so much of my time and focus that I started slacking at work, and it took me a month to get back on track. But hey, what’s the point of a job if it gets in the way of growing? 😉 In the end, everything worked out, and I gained invaluable experience. This was my first grow using coco coir. At first, I didn’t get it, but then it just clicked! Now I’m hooked: "I’m here to stay." Coco is more controlled than soil, flushes easily, and you can introduce beneficial microbes, which thrive in it. My main takeaway from this grow? If you buy coco, don’t forget CalMag! Next time, I’ll definitely install HEPA filters at the intake. The amount of dust was insane, and the grow box pulls air like a vacuum cleaner. Watching the timelapse, you can see the box sucking in every bit of dust. I vacuumed the intake filters weekly. The plant was incredibly sticky, but that also meant it caught a lot of lint and fibers between trichomes, especially visible under a microscope. Smoking microplastics? No, thank you! --- On CO2 CO2 only works if everything else is dialed in. If the plant experiences stress from deficiencies or overfeeding, you can forget about it. Since CO2 supplementation requires turning off the exhaust fan, it’s hard to manage temperature and humidity. The plant releases so much moisture that RH jumps to 80% within minutes. It’s doable, but definitely a challenge. --- On Magnetic Fields No clue what’s happening here yet, but it’s fascinating! I’ll test again with a control sample. --- Nutrients Dreams do come true—I’ve tested almost everything Advanced Nutrients offers. It wasn’t all smooth sailing; their feeding charts need adjustments for your conditions, and you usually need to feed less than recommended. Overall, I’d say the nutrients performed 100%, and I see no reason to switch. I’ll stick with them for future grows. --- Strain This strain is reliable, though not the most productive. It flowered exactly as advertised and delivered a frosty finish. It tolerated all my mistakes like a champ—especially mold. Despite an abandoned SCROG plan turning the plant into a bouquet, there wasn’t a single mold spot, even in the densely packed lower buds that got almost no light. Zero mold issues! --- Aroma As advertised: pine, wood, and citrus. At first, I thought it smelled like grapefruit, but now I’m leaning toward bergamot. Bergamot with a classic weed aroma—a recognizable twist on the usual scent. During the grow, the smell was strong, but the carbon filter handled it perfectly. --- Flavor It’s too early to say, but the flavor is definitely there! Embarrassingly, all my past harvests tasted the same—like nothing. Just smoke. This one has a distinct sour taste. I’m excited to see how it develops after curing. --- Effect Too early for a full review, but I love what I’ve tried so far. The high lasts about three hours, with euphoria and relaxation. It’s the perfect evening strain. I’ve smoked a lot over the years, but I’ve never experienced true euphoria—until now. Guess I’ve been stuck with garbage and ditch weed before. 😅 It’s not a strain for productivity or chores, but it’s perfect for chilling, watching something, or chatting. No anxiety, just great vibes. It feels like having a beer after a long day: you relax, and life feels good again. --- Roots The roots were healthy—maybe too healthy! While the AirPot (20L) prevented root circling, it didn’t eliminate it entirely. There were dead zones at the bottom where roots circled around the perimeter. A dense root mat formed at the bottom (so dense you couldn’t poke a finger through it), which likely contributed to salt buildup. Breaking through that mat required more water, and I suspect this caused EC to spike 1.5x the next day if there was no runoff. Next time, I’ll mix some pumice with the substrate at the bottom, about 3–4 cm deep. --- Timelapse I only got the timelapse running after the switch to flowering, so it’s not from the beginning. Still, it’s an incredibly useful tool for understanding growth rates. I’ll definitely use it for future grows. Comparing yesterday to today is one thing, but rewinding a week to see how things were is game-changing. I recommend it! You can even use an old phone with a timelapse app if your camera doesn’t support it by default. --- What’s Next I’ve grown fat buds before, but I’ve always neglected curing. This time, I’m doing it by the book with full control. Drying in the grow box with RH controlled at 50–60% (averaging 55%) for a slow, even dry. Temps are kept between 20–23°C, with frequent venting to keep it below 21°C for terpene preservation. After 7–10 days, when small stems snap with a characteristic sound, I’ll trim and jar them with humidity sensors. For the first two weeks, I’ll burp the jars twice daily, then reduce to once daily for the next two weeks. After that, I’ll monitor the RH sensors and adjust as needed. I’ll share the details after curing is complete. After drying, I’ll weigh the buds, take photos, and share another post in a month or two after curing to report on the flavor and aroma. For now, I’m taking a breather, fine-tuning my setup, and preparing for my next grow: Wizard Trees - Zangria S1.

Start of week 3 I believe the girls are doing good a few minor worries but that’s at ease for now I think , i have added nutes at a low level and will increase once I see how the plants react to the introduction of the nutes .. Looking into starting lsd on some plants but not too sure wether it’s to early or so . will continue to update the week but for now Started lst on a few plants day 15 and seen good reactions by day 17 so quite happy with that and will continue this process I will also look into topping my plants as well but not just yet ... they seemed to like the nutes as well so all good week so far Soo topping done on 4 plants wasn’t as scary as it sounded haha let’s see how they recover ! Going to combine lst as well now Very good recovery it looks like and the end of week 3 looks promising with the plants happy growing

Beautiful flower full of trichomes. Smell and test fantastic. Very fast flowering. She was done on day 49 but I cut her down few days later. I love the strain, the only thing that I will like this strain to have is a better yield. Beast quality buds I ever grew.

Here we are in week six of flower and not a lot has happen this week other than the usual watering and letting her do her thing. Only trouble this week was updating GoPro had to try a few times. Other than that we got some rain in my home town and collected about 60 gallons that I'm going to use to finish the rest of the grow. Also, got my new AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T4, Quiet Inline Duct Fan System with Temperature and Humidity Controller, 4-Inch. I was really hoping this two plants would finish before the year ended, however, it looks like they got others plans. See you guys next week.

Hello Diary, Cherry Pie has completed the fourth week of flowering, the 7th week since the beginning of the vegetation. Now I can already say that we are approaching the grand finale. The plant looks really great, the large flowers have covered the branches and are starting to bend under the weight. The main cola is completely covered with flowers and looks impressive. The smell of Cherry Pie is now very intense, when I open the grow box the smell takes over the whole room even though the ventilation is still working. The leaves are still a healthy green color, it is obvious that the new nutrients Bio Grow and Bio Bloom Fertilizer are doing their job. The conditions on the Farm are good, the temperature is around 28 degrees while the humidity is below 50%. Watering is still almost every other day, they still need a lot of water. I continued to add CalMg and Bio Bloom Fertilizer with each watering. I am super pleased and happy to see how Cherry Pie looks, she really reciprocated my efforts to provide them with the best conditions I can. Here is a short review of the past week. 06/09/2024 - Day 44. Watering. I prepared 9 liters of water, added CalMg and Bio Bloom Fertiliser and lowered the pH to 6.0. With that amount of water I watered all three plants on the "Farm". 08/09/2024 - Day 46. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as two days earlier. 10/09/2024 - Day 48. Watering. Same procedure. 11/09/2024 - Day 49. End of the 7th week from the beginning of the vegetation, or the fourth week of flowering. Photographing and measuring the height of the plants. Cherry Pie - Day 49. - 73 cm. That's all from me for this week, next week I will photograph them on a black background. See you soon and thank you all for your comments.

Skywalker OG — Harvest / Trim / Cure Part 3 — Trimming The First Giant First of all, once again, apologies for dividing this Skywalker OG harvest series into multiple parts. But honestly… there was simply no way to properly document this run without giving each phase and each plant the attention they deserve. These girls became something special. And with: * multiple giant plants * hundreds of photos * trimming timelapses * resin collection * curing experiments * and smoke reviews still coming later we wanted to slow down and properly catalogue everything instead of rushing through it. So now… we return: 10 days later. And the first Skywalker OG giant was finally ready. ⸻ The Click After hanging whole-plant drying for roughly: * 7–10 days * at around 18–20°C * with humidity stabilized near 60% * and the first days closer to 45% RH to safely remove excess surface moisture the moment finally arrived. That special branch click. Not bending anymore. Not soft anymore. That sound and feeling growers slowly learn over time: the perfect dry point before curing. And honestly? This girl dried beautifully. The flowers tightened perfectly. The aromas became deeper. The resin stayed everywhere. Exactly what we hoped for. ⸻ Trimming Begins So… gloves on. Medicine nearby. Scissors ready. Cleaning alcohol beside us. And branch by branch… we started. Slowly breaking down the plant. Separating branches. Taking individual flowers out carefully. Hand trimming every nug one by one. No machine trimming. No shortcuts. Just patience. And immediately one thing became obvious again: sticky. Very sticky. The dry trichomes instantly started gluing themselves onto the gloves. Every few minutes: * fingers sticking together * scissors becoming greasy * resin buildup everywhere The kind of trimming session where your gloves slowly stop looking black and start looking glossy. ⸻ Finger Hash & Resin Balls Naturally, as trimming continued… finger hash started forming again. But this time differently from the fresh charas we collected during harvest. This resin came from: dry trichomes broken loose during trimming and handling. Still incredibly aromatic. Still greasy. Still beautiful. But drier, more compact, and more stable than fresh charas. And honestly? Watching the little resin balls slowly form from pure trimming sessions never stops being satisfying. A grower’s reward during the work itself. ⸻ Moroccan Drums — Trim Bin Sessions As the trim accumulated, we also continued one of our favorite little rituals. Lightly working the trim material by hand almost like traditional Moroccan drum techniques. Nothing aggressive. Nothing industrial. Just gently helping the loose trichome heads separate naturally from the material. And honestly? This Skywalker OG was loaded. The Trim Bin kept collecting beautiful resin underneath the screen while we worked. And eventually… we pressed some of that loose resin together purely by hand pressure. No heat. No tools. No pressing equipment. Just hand pressure alone. And it immediately transformed into: a beautiful little temple ball. Soft. Greasy. Dark golden-brown. Beautiful texture. The kind of resin that instantly tells you: “This plant had serious trichome production.” ⸻ The Numbers Then came the moment everybody waits for. The final dry weight. And honestly… we’re still smiling looking at the scale. 369.9 grams from a single plant under 12/12 from seed. Absolutely insane. Especially considering: * minimal training * natural structure * relatively compact height * and mostly letting the plant guide herself naturally This girl became a true production monster. Dense flowers. Heavy branches. Massive yield. Excellent resin production. One of those harvests where you step back afterward and just stare at the pile for a few seconds. Because it honestly feels surreal. ⸻ Rock-Solid Medicine And the flower quality itself? Beautiful. These buds dried into: * dense * compact * greasy * heavy flowers Exactly the kind of structure we expected after seeing how swollen the plant became during late flower. The kind of buds that feel substantial immediately when picked up. No fluff. No air. Just proper medicine. And visually? Still gorgeous after drying. The calyx swelling remained. The trichomes stayed visible everywhere. And the flowers kept that heavy OG structure beautifully. ⸻ Storage & Cure At this point, preserving the cure properly became extremely important. So we divided the flower between multiple storage methods. Traditional Glass Jars The classic method. Simple. Reliable. Proven. Perfect for: * manual burping * visual inspection * humidity monitoring * and traditional curing control ⸻ Vacuum Glass Jar We also started testing one of the vacuum-style glass jars from Zamnesia. The idea here is reducing oxygen exposure during cure and long-term storage. Now we’re extremely curious to later compare: * terpene preservation * moisture behavior * aroma retention * and overall cure evolution between vacuum curing and traditional curing. ⸻ Grove Bags And honestly… there was simply too much flower not to use Grove Bags too. So part of the harvest also went into Grove Bags for longer-term curing and storage testing. Again, we’ll revisit all of this deeper later during the smoke review reports once the cure evolves further. Because right now the mission is simple: preserve the terpenes. Preserve the resin. Preserve the soul of the plant. ⸻ The Skeleton One thing we always love after trimming massive plants is looking at the final skeleton left behind. And honestly? This one was beautiful. Not an absurdly giant trunk… yet somehow it carried an absurd amount of medicine. Which honestly says a lot about how efficient these 12/12-from-seed plants can become. Compact structure. Extreme productivity. Minimal wasted growth. The Legends of the 12/12 Galaxy continue proving themselves. ⸻ Timelapses & Documentation We also included trimming timelapses in this report so people can actually see: * the workflow * the process * the resin buildup * the trimming rhythm * and what goes into preparing flowers like this properly Because behind every beautiful jar photo… there are hours of work. Hours of patience. And honestly? We love documenting that part too. ⸻ What Comes Next The next reports will continue with: trimming the remaining two Skywalker OG giants And honestly… there is still so much left to show. Which means yes: this series may realistically reach: Part 4 or even Part 5. And honestly? These girls deserve every slide. Every photo. Every detail. ⸻ Gratitude Huge thanks once again to everybody following this journey. To the growers. To the silent viewers. To the curious minds. To the supporters. To the old followers. To the new people arriving now. To the skeptics. To the lovers. To the haters too. To Zamnesia for these incredible genetics. To Plagron for helping feed this jungle. To Future Of Grow and Lumiflora for the LEDs powering this room every single day. To the entire growing community constantly sharing knowledge, mistakes, ideas, techniques, and passion openly. And honestly… being able to witness plants like this grow from seed into this level of abundance still feels surreal sometimes. These truly became: Legends of the 12/12 Galaxy. And their story still continues. From grower to growers.

10/17/24 Short facts: - Continued with LST - Watered: 1 x 1.2L, 1 x 0.3L - VPD @ 0.9 — raised by 0.1 - Light @ 50% ~580 - 620 PPFD - Removed 5 leaves --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As promised last week, i made a video and explained the progress so far, and did show you the plant. Not much to report. I continued LST, though I’ve stopped for a few days now since the branches are well spread out, and that should be enough for the time being. The AvT was in Preflower since last week and switched to flower on day 28. Really good plant. No problems at all.

***April 11 First things first, she is looking sexy as hell. Trichomes are spreading down the leaves, they are fattening up super nicely, it's been handling the nutrients really well, and has been drinking a decent amount. I get a nice vanilla bean, sweet, pine smell coming off of her, and it's been getting stronger every day. I haven't been needing to take too much off of her, just a few fan leaves here and there, but she has been taking care of herself pretty good in the long run. I have been taking off some of the teenie-tiny buds as I see them, because I want the main focus on the top nugs and the middle branch. Roots are growing like nuts, but I'm going to leave them go for now, until they get more out of hand (probably the end of this week). I gave 1tsp extra of the Bloom, since it seems to be handling things well, and not showing any signs of burn. 😍 Very happy with things so far!! ***April 13 Wasn't around to open my tent when the lights turned on, so it spent 6 hours in max humidity, but it seemed to like the stress, because it's literally coated to the tips of the top fan leaves with trichomes. ***April 15 WELLP.... I had to raise the light again 😂 She is growing vigorously, and is showing no signs of wanting to slow down. Still stretching just a tad, but mostly just packing on the weight and getting dense. Even the nugs down at the bottom are big enough so show they are worth keeping. I am so impressed with this grow, and I can't get over how happy I am to see it loving everything I can think to throw at it! Hard to believe just how big this filled out compared to before flower. Definitely 5x the size she started from, that's just my estimate. She started 1/4 the tent, and had enough room for all those veggies along with her, and now looking at her, I am thinking "wow... it's a good thing I got everything out of there when I did." 😂😅😍

Everything goes better than I expected. Very early in flower and already the plant has some pretty big flowers and the smell is stronger. I increased the ppm to 1100-1200. I struggle to keep the plant tied because it is still stretching to the lights

Week 9 light schedule switched to 12/12 and bio-bloom & top-max were added to the feed but unfortunately some leaves turned pale yellow and some strange marks appeared. We re going to flush in the next week to make sure feeding can be safely applied again. Autoflower plant going no problem and should be harvested soon. Smell is intense orange with undertones of pine.

Saludos de nuevo compañeros! Siento el retraso en actualizar, vamos a ponernos al día!! Entrando en la semana 3 comienzan a verse algunas necesidades, las plantas necesitan un trasplante y mas intensidad lumínica. pronto se efectuara el cambio y comienzo a prepararlas. ✊ 16-10-2018 Riego con pulverizador en tierra, uso 1mlxL de Voodoo, 1mlxL de B-52 1mlxL de Sensi Grow A+B a EC 0.9 19-10-2018 Riego con pulverizador y Sensizym de Advanced Nutrient 2mlxL, con abundante agua. 350ml por planta. 21-10-2018 riego solo agua a PH 6. Observaciones: el día 19 aprecio que algunas plantas muestran carencias y algunas algún posible bloqueo, por miedo a no haber echo las cosas bien desde el principio, decido dar un lavado de encimas a las raíces con Sensizym y dar descanso de nutrientes hasta finalizar la semana 3. Vamos a por la 4ª semana familia! Muchas gracias por el apoyo, espero poder dar el máximo de información posible para todos! 👊👽 --- Greetings again, comrades! I feel the delay in updating, let's get up to date! Entering week 3 begin to see some needs, plants need a transplant and more light intensity.
