This strain can flourish either indoors or outdoors, depending on your experience level. Although it is a moderate-sized plant, it is renowned for its exceptionally large yields. Commercial growers love it because it is a massive producer with a relatively short flowering period. Nevertheless, hobbyists can also take advantage of its robust growth. All it takes is some rudimentary know-how.
If you live in a climate that is sunny with low humidity, go ahead and grow it outside. But just to be sure, you can avoid moisture issues by using compost tea. You can buy it or make your own – it is an interesting DIY project that has numerous benefits for any homegrown plant. Compost tea protects against mold and mildew by coating the leaves and stems with beneficial microorganisms. In addition, it feeds the roots as an organic fertilizer.
Outdoors, a Skywalker OG plant grows to about 6 feet and produces up to 21 ounces (600 grams) of usable weed by October. But if you are growing indoors, you can utilize some techniques to promote just as much yield. One proven method is low-stress training (LST). By bending or tying down the branches in the growth stage, the plant will be fuller and bushier. That means a shorter height and more bud sites.
Another approach that works well is topping. This is high-stress training (HST) that requires a bit more growing knowledge, but it creates the optimal plant structure for huge crops. If done properly, it makes the best use of space and light. Just remember to maintain the temperature between 68 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (20 to 26.5 degrees Celsius), and the relative humidity within the 55 to 60% range.
Around the 8-week mark, your mature plants should be 2.5 to 4 feet tall. An area of 3 x 3 square feet (1 square meter) will generate a satisfying 21 to 25 ounces (600 to 700 grams) of bud. Compared to other strains, that is very impressive. Each power-packed round nugget is grayish-green with occasional purple swirls. The pistils are burnt-orange and there will be gooey white trichomes everywhere.
Our Skywalker OG’s superabundant production is because these seeds are feminized. This means that your plants are guaranteed to be all-female. As this 2017 report explains, females produce significantly larger yields and contain higher cannabinoid levels. Normally, unusable male plants have to be identified and separated by hand. But, we have done away with that tedious process so that you can have the smoothest growing experience.
