Partial reset on this girl who is obviously stunted and struggling. Not all strains are created equal and experience combined with skill goes a long way. So, taking my lumps with this girl. So, long story short, I reduced the ppm by draining and replacing 2.5 gallons of ph'd RO w/cal-mag added. This resulted in bringing down the ppm to roughly 500 w/ph at around 5.6. Will continue to monitor ph, ppm, and water levels for the remainder of this week looking for stabilization. At that point, I will gradually raise the ppm levels. If she doesn't make it back before TKO is ready to flip, I may need to scrap her given limited space. Come on girl, let's go... Midweek 4 update: Well, time has come for a decision. I moved the PBCRbx over to the 3x3 grow tent, so I can continue to care for her. Clear case of too much nutrients (high ppm levels) that have stunted early stage veg growth. Tried monitoring and adjusting ph twice a day but ppm remained higher than range resulting in fan leave tips looking burnt. Also some nutrient lock out occurring. Given ppm remaining high and water level dropping, I decided it was time to do a complete flush. Emptied and thoroughly cleaned bucket, air stone, and air line exposed in bucket. RO water with cal-mag and nutrients ph'd to 5.5 w/ppms at roughly 625. A day after flushing, the PBCRbx is looking a lot better. As a back up, I am running a separate PBCRbx by Ethos in a 3 gal fabric of coco peat, which is doing very well.

Week 6 Day 38 of flower 08/14/2020 ~Average~ Temp: 76-84f RH: 42% Ph: 5.9-6.2 Notes: Everything is right on schedule. These ladies are swelling by the day, trichromes production is still at large. The trichromes are starting to be noticeable from the eye. I checked with my digi scope and the trichromes are mostly clear with milky, little to no amber. I will keep my eye on those these next couple of weeks. Happy cultivatingāœŒļøšŸ½

GMO Cookies Served with Extra Curiosity ?šŸŖ Week 14 — Harvest Report | Fresh Frozen Experiment And here we are. Week 14. Harvest week. And honestly… the room looked absolutely unreal. Before we even touched the scissors, before a single branch was cut, before the freezer bags started filling up, there was already this feeling in the room that these girls had become something special. Massive structures. Heavy flowers. Long spears. Dense tops. Colors everywhere. Deep greens. Fading yellows. Lime tones. Hints of gold. Dark shadows between swollen calyxes. And then the smell… Oh man. The smell. This is one of those cultivars that genuinely makes the room feel less like a grow room and more like walking into a kitchen where someone is preparing something loud, greasy, savory, and unforgettable. The GMO side of these genetics speaks immediately and unapologetically. Garlic. Onion. Savory funk. That unmistakable ā€œfood terpeneā€ profile that GMO became legendary for. But underneath all that aggression, there is still sweetness hiding in there too. Cookie dough warmth. Earthiness. Creamy backend notes. A weird balance between offensive and delicious that only certain genetics can truly achieve. And honestly? We loved it. But before diving fully into this week, let’s do what we always do and quickly recap the journey, because by now many people arrive only at the final reports and never see the earlier stages of the diary. So first of all: yes… once again we divided the harvest into multiple reports šŸ˜„ And honestly, we know it starts becoming a clichĆ© at this point. But there is simply too much here: * too many photos, * too many details, * too many observations, * too many experiments, * too much resin, * and too much love for the plant itself to throw everything into one rushed update. This run deserved time. From seed until now, this GMO Cookies run was grown under a 12/12 from seed cycle using the F.O.G. LED setup, inside the Mammoth Elite tent environment, with careful environmental management throughout the run. The girls received multiple rounds of LST, selective defoliation, and continuous observation to maintain airflow and light penetration while still allowing the plants to express themselves naturally. And express themselves they absolutely did. These plants developed huge vascular systems and incredibly thick stems by the end of flower. Once harvest began and we started cutting branches down, the insides looked almost like miniature tree trunks. Thick water highways running through the center, dense supportive tissue everywhere, strong skeletal structures carrying massive tops from beginning to end. You could physically feel how much water and energy these plants had been moving daily. Some stems genuinely felt more like wood than plant tissue. And that strength translated directly into the flowers themselves: dense, heavy, greasy, stacked, and extremely aromatic. Now here comes the part that will probably make some people cry a little šŸ˜„ Because normally, growers harvest and dry most of their flower for smoking… while only freezing smaller amounts for hash washing later. We did the exact opposite here. Most of these girls went directly into the freezer. And yes… intentionally. Why? Because this plant was screaming hash potential from the beginning. The resin texture, the greasy leaf rub, the finger stickiness, the way trichomes smeared across gloves, the density of the heads, the aroma intensity… everything about this cultivar felt like it was asking to become fresh frozen. So after removing fan leaves and preparing the flowers carefully, we separated the majority of the buds specifically for freezing. Not whole plants. Not stems. Not unnecessary material. Just flowers. Pure bud material prepared for future washing. Final fresh frozen numbers landed around: 755.5 grams total including bags, which leaves us somewhere roughly around the 700–730g range of actual fresh frozen flower material once packaging weight is removed. And honestly… that is incredibly exciting. For anyone unfamiliar with fresh frozen: this means the flowers are frozen immediately after harvest instead of being dried first. The goal here is preservation. Fresh frozen material helps preserve volatile terpenes, delicate aromatic compounds, and resin characteristics that can partially disappear during traditional drying and curing. Later, this material can be processed into: * ice water hash, * bubble hash, * live hash, * live rosin, * or other solventless extractions. And despite some people debating whether water itself should technically count as a ā€œsolvent,ā€ the reality is that this process remains one of the cleanest and most beautiful extraction methods in cannabis culture. Ice. Water. Movement. Separation through resin density. That’s it. And based on what we already felt from simply handling these plants? This could become something truly beautiful later on. Even during harvest, the resin behavior was already honestly ridiculous. The gloves became sticky almost immediately. Fingers started collecting greasy residue after only small amounts of handling. The scissors became coated quickly. And the texture of that resin… dark, oily, greasy, almost greasy-food-like in character, which feels incredibly fitting for a GMO cultivar. This is the type of resin that makes hash makers smile instantly. Now of course, we did not freeze absolutely everything. We intentionally kept select flowers aside for traditional drying and curing because we want to compare the expressions later: * cured flower terpene profile, * versus fresh frozen hash expression, * versus eventual solventless extraction results. That comparison itself is part of the experiment. And honestly, that is one of the beautiful things about growing: sometimes the harvest is not the end of the project. Sometimes harvest is simply the beginning of several new ones. The flowers we kept for drying are currently hanging under controlled conditions while the frozen material quietly waits for its transformation later on. And yes… there will absolutely be future reports about the washing process. About the ice water extraction. About the resin quality. About the yields. About the terpene preservation. About the final hash itself. But for now? This week belongs to the harvest. To the skeletons. To the colors. To the smells. To the giant branches hanging in silence. To the freezer bags packed full of greasy flowers. To the excitement of possibility. And honestly… to experimentation too. Because growing is not only about repeating safe formulas forever. Sometimes it is also about curiosity. Trying things. Learning. Observing. Comparing. Taking risks. Seeing what happens. And this entire harvest feels driven by exactly that spirit. We also brought these girls into the studio before harvest because honestly they deserved their final photoshoot. And wow. They looked incredible. Some shots leaned cinematic and dark. Others focused on vivid greens and flower structure. Some highlighted the towering spear-like colas. Others focused on greasy closeups and texture. And under the studio lights, the resin coverage became even more obvious. The flowers looked almost wet in certain angles. Sticky. Alive. Heavy. Exactly the kind of flower that instantly tells you: ā€œThis is not going to stay clean for long once trimming starts.ā€ šŸ˜„ Which brings us to next week. Next week will likely focus on: * drying, * trimming, * resin collection, * finger hash, * scissor hash, * handling techniques, * curing preparation, * and possibly the beginning of the washing process if time allows. If not, the washing report will arrive later as its own chapter. And honestly? That feels right. Because this run deserves patience. Now before ending this report, as always: Thank you. To Zamnesia. To Plagron. To F.O.G. To the gear. To the platform. To the community. To the growers sharing knowledge every day. To the silent supporters. To the curious people discovering the diary for the first time. To the macro lovers. To the hash makers. To the flower lovers. To the skeptics šŸ˜„ To everyone spending even a few seconds here with us. This plant may already be harvested… but honestly?

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.

War ne gemischte Herbstwoche. 3 Regentage, 2 warme Tage, 2 kühle Tage und 3 NƤchte unter 5 Grad.. AK zeigt ihr Herbstkleid in dunkelviolett. Die Blüten beim Larry og sind nicht mehr weit von der Reife entfernt. 2 Wochen noch. Ak braucht noch mindestens 3. Lemon kush ist die kleine (neben fat banana) fast fertig. Nur noch milchige trichome, keine Bernsteinfarben. Die andere Lemon braucht noch etwas lƤnger. Banana auch noch mindestens zwei, wenn nicht 3 Wochen. Das Wetter soll kalt werden. Bis zum Gefrierpunkt.. die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt. Noch lƤuft es gut šŸ‘ Bis nƤchste Woche āœŒļø

Der Sour Jealousy von FastBuds geht es ganz gut šŸ‘. In Hydroponic dauert es am Anfang immer ein wenig lƤnger bis die Pflanze richtig durchstartet.. Ich denke mal in 2 Wochen fƤngt es dann richtig an. DLI liegt bei 16.92 ( 20 h Licht bei 235 PPFD). Heute wechsle ich das 1. Mal Wasser und gebe additiv Silicate von Terra Aquatica hinzu. Die ersten Tage hatte ich Schwankungen im PH Wert,ich denke weil der EC Wert so niedrig ist und weil die BlƤhton Kugeln auch erstmal den angestrebten Ph Wert annehmen müssen. Die Pflanze bekommt hier und da gelegentlich Streicheleinheiten von dem Mini Ventilator damit sie krƤftiger wird. Bye
