Loud hashy, pepper, sulfur, rotten fruit, lemon, and Skittles terps. The landraces got nice structure, terps and yield but resin is lacking. I think that's normal. Gonna have to cross these a few times till I find something great that is worth it.

Skywalker OG — Harvest / Trim / Cure Part 2 — More Giants Enter The Galaxy First of all, once again, apologies for dividing this Skywalker OG harvest series into multiple parts. But honestly… there is simply too much happening here to compress everything into one single report without losing the individuality of these plants. This is not just one harvest. This is: * multiple giant plants * multiple phenotypic expressions * hundreds of photos * countless observations * trimming sessions * drying progression * resin collection * and eventually smoke reviews still to come So instead of rushing through it, we decided to properly catalogue this run the way it deserves. And honestly? These girls earned that respect. ⸻ Quick Recap — The 12/12 Galaxy This entire project was grown: 12/12 from seed with very little intervention. No heavy training. No aggressive shaping. No topping. Mostly: * gentle canopy opening * leaf tucking * minor defoliation * and allowing the plants themselves to naturally decide their structure And once again, this run keeps proving something fascinating: 12/12 from seed does not necessarily create huge tall plants… …but it can create incredibly efficient plants. Compact. Dense. Heavy. Productive. The only true giant-height exception in the room was the Ghost Train Haze that nearly reached two meters. But these Skywalker OG girls? They stayed more compact vertically while transforming themselves into absolute flower-producing machines. And honestly? That efficiency became ridiculous toward the end. ⸻ Heavy Enough To Collapse At this stage, all three plants reached the point where their own flower weight became difficult to manage. The branches simply cannot support themselves anymore. Support or no support… these girls are collapsing under pure mass. And honestly? That’s the kind of “problem” growers love having. Huge swollen colas. Dense flower stacking. Rock-solid buds. Resin everywhere. Exactly the type of structure that makes trimming both exciting and slightly terrifying at the same time. Because you already know: these are going to become extremely dense once fully dried. ⸻ Frost, Density & Structure One thing that keeps standing out over and over again with these Skywalker OG plants is the combination of: * density * frost * and sheer flower volume The flowers are not only big… they are compact. Very compact. The kind of buds where simply pressing lightly already tells you: “This is going to dry into rock-solid flower.” And visually? Absolutely beautiful. Bright swollen calyxes. Heavy trichome coverage. Long sugar leaves curling outward. Beautiful late-flower fading tones appearing everywhere. Every branch feels loaded. Top flowers. Middle flowers. Lower flowers. No wasted space. ⸻ Perspective & Scale We also wanted people to properly understand the actual size of these plants. Because sometimes photos alone can be deceptive. So throughout this session we kept including: * hands beside colas * Mr. Baggy appearances * hats * studio comparisons * and even the JBL speaker for scale references And honestly… some of these flowers make normal objects look small. These are serious colas. Not exaggerated internet “looks big in the photo” flowers. Actually big. Actually heavy. Actually difficult to hold comfortably after a while. ⸻ Mr. Baggy Continues His Internship Of course… Mr. Baggy stayed with us through the entire process again. At this point he’s basically part of the harvest crew. Always supervising. Always present. Always emotionally supporting the trimming sessions. And honestly? The studio moments with: * giant plants * giant colas * cameras * lights * resin-covered gloves * and Mr. Baggy sitting there in the middle of the chaos… became part of the memory of this run itself. ⸻ Charas — Living Resin One thing we absolutely loved once again during harvest was the amount of resin immediately collecting onto the gloves while handling fresh flowers. The moment fan leaves started coming off: * resin buildup started * fingers became sticky * gloves became greasy * and naturally… charas started forming again. And honestly, we really enjoy talking about charas because many people still don’t fully understand what it is. Charas is one of the oldest forms of cannabis resin collection in the world. Traditionally associated especially with regions of India and Nepal, charas is made by gently rubbing fresh living or freshly harvested cannabis flowers between the hands to collect the resin directly. Historically and spiritually, charas has deep connections with: * traditional medicine * spiritual rituals * Himalayan culture * and even Lord Shiva himself in many traditions. And honestly? There’s something incredibly beautiful about it. Because unlike dry sift or cured trimming resin… this is living resin. Fresh resin. Still full of life, moisture, oils, and volatile aromatic compounds. That’s why we personally separate this experience mentally from the later finger hash collected during dry trimming. Both are beautiful. But fresh charas feels: * softer * richer * oilier * more alive * and incredibly expressive terpene-wise This Skywalker OG produced amazing charas too. Dark. Greasy. Sticky. Easy to collect. The kind of resin that instantly tells you: “These plants are loaded.” ⸻ Full Plant Drying Just like the first plant, these girls are now drying whole. Entire plants hanging intact. We personally love this drying style because it slows the process slightly and helps preserve: * terpenes * moisture balance * aroma * and overall cure quality The drying conditions remain: First couple of days: * ~45% RH to help remove the heavier surface moisture from these extremely dense flowers. Then afterward: Remaining drying phase: * ~60% RH * 18–20°C for roughly: 7–10 days depending on how these massive flowers release moisture internally. Because honestly… with buds this dense, patience becomes extremely important. ⸻ Looking Ahead — Trimming Begins Soon The next reports will most likely focus heavily on: trimming And honestly? We already know these sessions are going to be intense. Because these plants are absolutely packed with: * dense flowers * resin * swollen calyxes * and heavy branching So yes… this series may realistically become: four parts or maybe even five. And honestly? That’s okay. These girls deserve the spotlight. ⸻ Gratitude And once again… huge thanks to everybody following this journey. To the growers. To the silent viewers. To the curious minds. To the supporters. To the OG followers. To the new followers arriving now. To the skeptics. To the lovers. To the people simply stopping by for a few seconds. To Zamnesia for the genetics behind these beautiful Skywalker OG plants. To Plagron for the nutrients helping drive this run. To Future Of Grow and Lumiflora for the LEDs illuminating this jungle every single day. To everybody building the tools, tents, gear, cameras, and spaces allowing growers to continue sharing knowledge openly. And honestly… personally, we feel extremely fortunate to even witness plants like this growing in front of our eyes. There’s something deeply humbling about watching a seed become this. These truly became: Legends of the 12/12 Galaxy. And their story is still not finished.

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.

Yo, get ready cuz I aint got time for the b!Tches - Sing with me go go go High as f Whats up my friends how is it going? Im just happy I did some crazy stuff on this gorilla girl after having the accident with the main trunk thank God it healed and created other colas but since she was so bushy I went and defoliate her some more, she got bushy again but left her like that didnt fck with her no more until I had to for specific REASONS but before that I also went and literally stab two of her branches, you will see duct tape covering those, reason I did that was to force her to produce more flower thru those branches believing that HEALING redirects vitamins from living soil when feed in a schedule with the right nutes, she gets healed real fast plus she got real bud on those two branches that were stabbed. IT was literally something to force her produce more bud and yes indeed it worked those bud suites right now are fully loades on tips are very dense thc yellowish and then white hairs and the main trunk has white hairs good size fattening up and yielding some more but still not so many yellow dark amber hairs like in those branches that were stabbed lol I called that SiriuzShot lol Hey guys whats up its just about getting creative, look at how green my leaves are and the nice nice bud is coming up We at mid bloom right now brothers just switched schedule to 18/6 Flowering girls need resting time added fan for extra air flow and hopefully adds density to buds??? Yo give your tips suggestion anything related organically home made whats good lemme know so I can keep fattening up this ladies very well Hey by the way added some molasses and banana tea with some other tea and sugary stuff they taking it well, no nute burnt no problems at all girls liked it x 100000 Good stuff organically Lemme know if anything alright Stay tuned for more Check me out @cannagrowersiriuz Take it easy son have fun Happy growing

420Fastbuds FBT2313/Week5 What up grow fam. Sorry for the late weekly update but was having some technical difficulties. This week has been eventful to say the least. My heater went out letting my Temps drop to high 40'f for a night or two and wow did the plants tell me they're angry. Definitely starting to bounce back but just goes to show the reselants of Fastbuds genetics. I lollipoped and did one more defoliation this week so hopefully flower stage will be smooth sailing. All in all Happy Growing

// Day 78 I put her inside. I know, that's cheating, but I do not care right now. The weather will be abyssymal in the next days and I do not want to keep her just in my room at the balcony door because she stinks amazing, but I can't let her stink up the apartment. And she is pretty late in flower, I really want her to work on the buds, let them thicken up and I just want to enjoy the outcome in the end. This grow is already incredibly long for an autoflower and she still needs 2-3 more weeks, when looking at her bud sites. I don't want to harvest trash buds after investing 3 to 4 months into a plant. If the weather is good again, she will be back outside. If the weather is trash with rain all day, I'll keep her in the tent. My main concern is her bud development. The sites are huge but the calyxes are just not fattening up. You can see it in the pictures, they're very airy and overall not "sexy" looking, if you know what I mean. I hope that she finishes nicely since this grow went amazing so far. She is an absolute unit and I want her to finish perfectly. Let's see how she developes in the next 14 days. With 78 days, this plant is very old, but I've seen autoflowers getting harvested after 90 days or even 100 days. So I will just keep calm for now and I try to enjoy the last 2-3 weeks of her grow life.

Was out of town all week and came back to find the CBD Star in my space bucket not looking good. It looks like a phosphorus deficiency but not entirely sure. Yellow leaves with brown/black spots and dark red/purple stems. I flushed it with 2 gallons 6.5 pH water, re-fertilized, put it out in the sun and defoliated. I defoliated pretty heavily since many of the fan leaves were yellowed and blocking light from the lower bud sites. The center was also getting pretty dense so I carefully removed some of the leaves to help with airflow. Despite the stress, It seems to have bounced back reasonably well. There’s probably irreparable damage given the level of yellowing but the buds continue to grow and thicken. Cheese has absolutely exploded and looks great. It probably doubled in height last week with many bud sites on the 5 main stalks. Excited to see how it turns out.

Hello everyone, I'd like to thank Plagron, as I was one of the 42 people randomly selected to win! A flowering pack and congratulations on my ranking in the Growdiaries Cup! I also want to welcome the new members who are following me. Ts week, starting yesterday, I repotted my plants. For the first time, I'm going to use geotextile pots. I enriched my Plagron potting mix with only natural products to encourage microbial life and maintain and enrich it. The fertilizers and additives I use are specifically designed for this purpose. The most important thing is to water with either filtered water or water that has been left to settle for at least 48 hours to remove all chlorine. To protect everything, I'm using hemp sativa mulch, which will retain moisture and gradually release nutrients. For enrichment, I simply add nutrients to promote life and avoid raising or lowering the soil pH. My potting mix recipe To begin, I fill my pot completely with 13 liters of potting soil, which I then pour into my mixing basin. I line the bottom of my pot with clay pebbles. I add: _WORMBRICOMPOST 30 g Growth, flowering Worm compost has a fine, crumbly texture and is rich in essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other beneficial microorganisms for plants. Its use improves soil quality, promotes plant growth, and contributes to environmental conservation by reducing organic waste. _BIOCHAR 10 g Biochar improves the diffusion and availability of nutrients in the soil and provides favorable conditions for the development of microorganisms. Biochar can be introduced into a wide variety of soils. It is particularly effective in poor, difficult, and acidic soils. _MEALWORM GUANO 10 g This intense bio-activation will make such a diverse range of fresh nutrients available to your plants that it is currently technologically impossible to name and count them all. _CHABASITE ZEOLITH 10 g Zeolites are crystalline rocks with particularly high adsorption capacities for pollutants found in water and certain liquids, as well as in air and gases. They are extremely porous, like activated carbon, and can be electrically charged to act as ion exchangers. Karanja Seed Cake - NPK 4.4/5.2/2 Growth 10g Karanja seed cake is an absorbent (clay-humic) complex that strengthens and stimulates soil microbial life. Rich in nutrients, it allows for slow and gradual nitrogen assimilation, ensuring a consistent supply. Volcanic Basalt 10g Volcanic basalt has a porous structure that retains water and promotes soil aeration. This helps maintain a good moisture balance and encourages soil microbial life, with a proliferation of beneficial bacteria and fungi. Furthermore, volcanic basalt is rich in nutrients such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, iron, and zinc. These nutrients are made available to plants and soil microorganisms, which can promote plant growth and development, as well as humus production. _Monster Mix Soil 33g from Zamnesia _Guano Diffusion - Guanodiff Classic 10g Guanodiff Classic has a balanced nitrogen/phosphorus ratio (NP 3.5-8.5), which is ideal for continuous growth and effective root development. Its fast-acting formula provides benefits for 8 weeks. _Guano Diffusion - Bat Guano Bloom 10g Bat Guano Bloom NPK 3-6-10 has been specially formulated to support successful flowering and fruiting. Rich in bat guano and combined with beet molasses extracts, this 100% natural fertilizer improves both organoleptic properties and yield. _1 tablespoon of dolomite lime (calcium and magnesium supplement) _2 g of Rizobacter _2 g of Tricoderma _3 handfuls of perlite AND ABOVE ALL, A GOOD MIX TO MAKE EVERYTHING. I put this mixture back into my pots and add a hemp mulch. I set everything up in my largest grow tent and install my lamp at 60 cm and 75% brightness. I wish you all a successful cannabis grow. ******************* Bonjour à tous, Je remercie plagron, car je fais partie des 42 qui ont été tirée au sort et j'ai gagné. Un pack floraison et BRAVO POUR SON CLASSEMENT DANS LA COUPE GROWDIARIES. Je souhaite aussi la bienvenue aux nouveaux membres qui me suivent. Cette semaine et depuis hier, j'ai fait mon rempotage. Pour la 1 fois, je vais utiliser des pots géotextile. J'ai effectué un enrichissement de mon terreau PLAGRON avec que des produits naturels afin de donner de la vie microbienne et aussi de la garder et de l'enrichir. Car les engrais et additifs que j'utilise sont faits pour cela.La chose le plus IMPORTANTE et d'arroser avec soit une eau filtrée ou décante minimum 48 h afin de ne plus avoir de chlore à l'intérieur. Et afin de protéger tout cela ont fait un paillis pour ma part en chanvre sativa qui va maintenir une humidité et dégager au fur et à mesure des nutriments. Pour mon enrichissement, j'apporte un apport simplement afin de donner de la vie et de ne pas monter ou descendre le PH de la terre. Recette de mon terreau Pour commencer, je remplis mon pot complet de terreau de 13 L que je reverse dans ma bassine pour mélanger. Je tapisse le fond de mon pots de billes d'argiles . Je rajoute : _LOMBRICOMPOST 30 g Croissance, floraison Le lombricompost présente une texture fine et friable, regorgeant de nutriments essentiels tels que l’azote, le phosphore, le potassium et d’autres micro-organismes bénéfiques pour les plantes. Son utilisation améliore la qualité du sol, favorise la croissance des plantes et contribue à la conservation de l’environnement en réduisant les déchets organiques. _BIOCHAR 10 g Le charbon végétal améliore la diffusion et la disponibilité des éléments nutritifs dans le sol et offre des conditions propices au développement des micro-organismes. Le Biochar peut être introduit dans une grande variété de sols. Il est particulièrement efficace dans les sols pauvres, difficiles et acides. _GUANO DE VER DE FARINE 10 g Cette bio-activation intense mettra dans vos sols, à la disposition de vos plantes, un panel tellement varié de nutriments frais qu'il nous est aujourd'hui technologiquement impossible de pouvoir tous les nommer et de les compter. _ZEOLITHE DE CHABASITE 10 g Les zéolithes sont des roches cristallines, présentant des capacités d'adsorption particulièrement importantes vis à vis des polluants que l'on rencontre dans l'eau et dans certains liquides, ainsi que dans l'air et les gaz. Elles sont extrêmement poreuses comme les charbons activés et elles peuvent être chargées électriquement pour opérer comme des échangeurs d'ions. _Tourteau de KARANJA - croissance NPK 4,4/5,2/2 10 g Le tourteau de Karanja est un complexe absorbant (argilo humique) qui renforce et stimule la vie microbienne du sol. Riche en éléments fertilisants, il permet une assimilation lente et progressive de l'Azote et donc une régularité de l'apport. _ BASALTE VOLCANIQUE 10 g Tout d'abord, le basalte volcanique a une structure poreuse qui permet de retenir l'eau et de favoriser l'aération du sol. Cela contribue à maintenir un bon équilibre hydrique et à favoriser la vie microbienne du sol, avec une prolifération de bactéries et de champignons bénéfiques. De plus, le basalt volcanique est riche en éléments nutritifs tels que le potassium, le sodium, le magnésium, le fer et le zinc. Ces nutriments sont mis à disposition des plantes et des micro-organismes du sol, ce qui peut favoriser la croissance et le développement des plantes, ainsi que la production d'humus. _Monster mix soil 33 g de chez zamnesia _Guano Diffusion - Guanodiff Classic's 10 g Guanodiff Classic a un rapport azote / phosphore équilibré NP (3,5-8,5), ce qui est très approprié pour une croissance continue et un développement racinaire efficace. Son action rapide agit pendant 8 semaines. _Guano Diffusion - Bat Guano Bloom 10 g Bat Guano BLOOM NPK 3-6-10 a été spécialement conçu pour réussir la phase de floraison et de fructification. Riche en bat guano et associé aux extraits de mélasse de betterave, cet engrais d'origine 100 % naturel agit à la fois sur l'amélioration des propriétés organoleptiques et sur le rendement. _1 CUILLERE A SOUPE DE CHAUX DOLOMITE Renforcement calcium magnesium _ 2 g de RIZOBACTER _ 2 g Tricoderma _3 Poignées de Perlite ET SURTOUT UN BON MÉLANGE À FAIRE À L ENSEMBLE. Je remets ce mélange dans mes pots et je fais un paillis de chanvre. J installe l ensemble dans ma plus grosse hombox j installe ma lampe a 60 CM A 75% . Je vous souhaites a tous une bonne cannabiculture.😁✋👍👊👋👋

I don't think much more will happen in case of Bud thiccness, just getting more ripe. But i hope im wrong, wouldn't mind if they get a little bit more swollen. Since im Colorblind i can't say for sure, but i think RG #1 is turning kinda Purple? RG #2 has still the biggest buds and starts to fade now. There are still a lot of white pistils and Trichomes are also not ready yet, still not milky and i surely want some amber in it also. So i guess at least another 2 weeks, mostly 3. Don't want to harvest them too early, they should have the time to get ready. This week they also got again 10ml of Bio PK, next week will be the last time, then only water for 2 weeks. So see you next week then! :)
