In week 9 my 'Fruity Terp' ladies have grown substantially and filled out the space in my HOMEBOX growtent. Therefore its time to do a round of defoliation. I take out my plants one by one and cut off the lowest branches on the stem (the ones not grown tall enough to get good light) and also the biggest fan-leaves (the ones shading the lower part of the canopy). The defoliation will increase the airflow thru my plants, which will in turn help to avoid mold from a build-up of humidity between the leaves. The light can now also penetrate deeper into the canopy now and therefore lower buds will also get more light and can grow bigger. The SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs are doing a GREAT job, my babies love their spectrum and intensity and grow like hell. The nutrients from BIO NOVA work EXCELLENT, all plants have a nice healthy green color. Since we are further in flowering now, I also add PK 13-14 from BIO NOVA following their 'SOIL-CULTIVATION' schedule.

🌱 GMO Cookies — Week 2 (12/12 from Seed) Folder #5 | Grow Bags | PRO-MIX Week two is now complete, and this girl is developing beautifully and very consistently. All plants in this run are growing extremely similar, which is always a great sign at this stage. Structure, color, and pace are aligned across the board. By the end of the week, they are pushing into their third to fourth pair of true leaves, with healthy spacing and no signs of stress. Leaf color is vibrant, growth is balanced, and everything points toward a solid foundation being built below the surface. ⸻ 🌱 Medium & Roots — PRO-MIX + Mycorrhizae These plants are growing in PRO-MIX inside grow bags, and this medium deserves a short explanation. PRO-MIX comes pre-inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi, which play a major role early on: • They form a symbiotic relationship with the roots • Increase nutrient and water uptake • Improve root surface area • Help plants handle stress and environmental swings better At this stage, while top growth looks calm and controlled, a lot of the real work is happening underground. Strong roots now mean easier transitions later, especially when stretch and flower demand kick in. ⸻ 💡 Light Cycle & Environment All plants are running 12/12 from seed, no exceptions. Current environment (Week 2): • Temperature: stable and warm, optimized for early development • Humidity: kept slightly higher to support root and leaf expansion • PPFD: elevated for this stage on purpose The higher PPFD is intentional. These plants are healthy, rooted, and responding well, so we allow them to work a little harder. This encourages: • Stronger stems • Faster metabolic rhythm • Better preparation for the upcoming transition phase No stress signals, no clawing, no fading — so we stay the course. ⸻ ✂️ Training No training at this stage. No topping, no bending, no interference. Right now, the goal is symmetry, rhythm, and consistency. We let the plant show us her natural structure before making any decisions later on. ⸻ Genetics Talk — GMO Cookies This is the one that has me genuinely curious. GMO Cookies is known for that deep garlic / savory punch, layered over the classic cookies backbone. It’s not a “loud early” plant — this is usually a cultivar that reveals itself later, once structure and resin production begin to speak. Right now, we’re not expecting aromas or explosive growth — and that’s exactly how it should be. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week Expect: • Faster node stacking • Thicker stems • Increased leaf size • Continued uniformity across plants Do NOT expect yet: • Strong smells • Stretch explosion • Flower expression Next week is still about building the engine, not revving it. ⸻ 🌿 Final Thoughts This GMO Cookies run is doing exactly what it should be doing — nothing more, nothing less. Healthy, controlled, consistent growth is always the goal, and this folder is on point. Very excited to see how this one expresses herself as we move forward.

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.

Eva my little fast buds lady is such a wonder. In week 3 she is bigger than her Both sisters at the Same time. That‘s why I cut leaves only at first in her 3 week, because they are to many and to big and I am surprised about mother nature, because Eva‘s First Leaves are so nice and huge that i call her Aircraft Carrier…see with your own eyes. Respect and i will love her week 4 … I know.

GDP got a repot tonight, so in the pics it's a bit saggy because of the shock. Otherwise, the plant is doing well. It already has a smell to it. Nothing else to report really.

Flowering day 58 since the time was changed to 12/12 h. Hey everyone 😁. We have reached the end of bloom 👍. The trichomes are now 80% milky and 20% amber ☺️. I have again today freshly made all the water and added canna flush. Now the last few stoves in the vicinity will be used for the next few days The day after tomorrow I will turn off the lights so that the plants get 48 hours of darkness before trimming begins 👍. I turned the watering cycle down so that you only get 2 minutes of water every 5 hours :-). I'm so happy to be trimming this Pehno again 😍. He is and remains one of my favorites 👍. As always, there will be an interim update of the harvest Ernte before the last update. Until then, I wish you all a lot of fun with this update.

very strong resin production, a heavy hitter, nighttime stuff! a real great strain, highly recommended! you can certainly smell the grape with a creamy touch! ps. one of the plants was a mutant, it was very weak, had almost no resin on it and absolutely no scent at all....but it had alot of potency and a awesome yield!

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Flowering day 8 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) The lady is developing great :-). A few days ago she started stretching and will develop the first calyxes over the next few days :-). It was poured 3 times this week (sewing materials see table above). Next week I'll be removing the bottom shoots so the energy isn't wasted down on the popcorn buds. Bio Grow will also be discontinued next week and only Bio Bloom Liquid will be given 👍. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked for health :-).

420 Fastbuds Week 6 Gorilla Punch Auto What up what up everyone. Week 6 update on these two has been interesting non the less. The bigger of the two still showing signs of some calmag deficiency from what it appears. I've added one teaspoon/gal of General Hydroponics 3 part flora series to the feeding to give them an added boost as well as the one/gal teaspoon of GH Calimagic. All in all they seem to be flowering OK. The Temps have dropped the last week making a constant 55'f-60'f in the day and down to the 30's at night so keeping the tents warm enough will have to be part of the battle from here on out. Happy Growing

New week! Tips and help from last week, I had around 1500 ppm and I did flush my roots in water and change everything. Now is around 1000 ppm and dropping 150 ppm a day. Did read about water level in DWC and how to increase the grow with water. I had the water almost up to the root or the level of there the basket is. Now I have 1-2 inch (2-5 cm) below where the roots come out. This create air roots. I'm not sure if it's the air roots or the ppm but my flower is boosting. Can se buds grow!! Trimming so I can keep the same hight. Have any tips or rekomandation? Only have one question for next week and this is: it's looking a bit thigth between the buds and all of the leaf is cristal on it. Should I cut some more leaf? And what leaf should I trim? Is so thigth in there. Or will it grow fine?
