GMO Cookies Served with Extra Curiosity ?🍪 Drying & Trimming Report | Garlic, Gold & Preservation And once again… yes 😄 We are dividing the reports. At this point it almost became tradition. But honestly, there is simply no realistic way to fit: * harvest, * drying, * trimming, * curing, * smoke review, * fresh frozen, * washing, * strain review, * extraction plans, * terpene analysis, * and all the small details we love documenting… into one single update without turning everything into chaos. So first of all: thank you for the patience. Everything from seed until harvest was already documented in the previous reports, but for the people arriving only now, let’s quickly recap how we got here. This GMO Cookies run was grown under a 12/12 from seed cycle using the F.O.G. LED setup, with environmental management focused on healthy plant development, airflow, structure, and resin production. Throughout flower the girls received selective defoliation, LST, continuous observation, and careful feeding while expressing one of the loudest terpene profiles we have had in the room in a while. And now? Now the plants have moved beyond harvest and entered one of the most important phases of all: preservation. Because growing beautiful flowers means very little if drying and trimming are rushed afterward. So this report belongs to: * drying, * trimming, * handling, * preserving terpenes, * collecting resin, * and slowly preparing the medicine for cure. The branches that were selected for drying spent approximately: * 10 days drying, * around 60% humidity, * temperatures between 18–20°C, with the first couple of days running slightly drier in order to help remove excess surface moisture before stabilizing the environment more carefully. And honestly? The aromas coming from these flowers during drying were absolutely ridiculous. Now, to be completely honest and transparent: these were not the densest flowers from the tent. Visually they actually looked denser while still wet than they ended up feeling after drying. But what they lacked slightly in density… they completely compensated for in aroma, terpene expression, flavor potential, resin behavior, and overall personality. And honestly, that trade-off is something many growers happily accept. Because this GMO profile is LOUD. Like… walk-into-a-kitchen loud. Real GMO lovers will understand this instantly. Every trimming session felt like sitting next to a chef smashing fresh garlic cloves directly beside us. Savory. Greasy. Funky. Sharp. Warm. Almost oily-smelling. And hidden underneath all that madness: sweetness, cookie notes, earthiness, and weird creamy undertones slowly revealing themselves as the flowers cured further. This is not a shy cultivar. Not even close. Once the drying process finished, it was finally time to trim. So: gloves on. Trim station ready. Trim bin prepared. Scissors cleaned. Glass jars nearby. Grove Bags prepared. And of course… little self-medication beforehand 😄 Because trimming sessions and cannabis culture somehow always belonged together naturally. The branches were broken down carefully by hand, one by one, and every flower was trimmed individually with patience instead of speed. As always, we used pointed curved trimming scissors. And honestly, they are fantastic for this type of flower structure. Especially with fluffier or more open flowers, curved pointed scissors allow you to: * enter tighter spaces, * remove excess leaf material precisely, * preserve flower structure, * avoid crushing calyxes, * and maintain a more natural-looking final product. Straight scissors work perfectly fine too of course, but for this type of trimming, curved points genuinely feel more comfortable and surgical. And with GMO? You quickly realize precision matters. Because these flowers become sticky almost immediately. The scissors start collecting resin. The gloves become greasy. Finger hash starts forming naturally. And suddenly trimming stops being just “work” and starts becoming part of the experience itself. The first dried branches gave us: 137.1 grams. After trimming and weighing, the flowers were carefully transferred into Grove Bags, with smaller amounts also resting inside glass jars for comparison and monitoring during cure. Then we moved onto the flowers dried on the drying rack. Again: not the densest plant from the tent. And honestly, we believe temperatures played a role there. This cultivar appeared slightly more sensitive to higher temperatures than some of the others around her. Our personal feeling is that she continued pulling significant water during flower development, which likely contributed to the final structure remaining slightly more open once dry weight settled. But despite that? The quality remained absolutely beautiful. Sometimes growers become overly obsessed with density alone. But density is not everything. Aromatic expression, resin quality, effect, smoothness, flavor, and terpene complexity matter just as much — sometimes even more. And this GMO absolutely shines there. The second drying batch landed at: 224.2 grams. Again carefully bagged for preservation. And speaking of preservation: we decided to use Grove Bags for most of the flower storage. Why? Because preserving terpenes matters deeply to us. Especially with a cultivar this expressive. The idea behind Grove Bags is maintaining stable curing conditions while reducing the constant need to burp jars manually. They help regulate humidity exchange while still allowing the flowers to continue stabilizing naturally over time. Of course, glass jars still remain legendary and we still use them too. Honestly? Both methods have their place. And later during cure and smoke review, we will probably compare the differences more deeply. But for now, the priority is simple: protect the terpenes. Protect the medicine. Protect the work. Now let’s talk about something we personally love a lot: the “gold.” Or what many people simply call: kief. During trimming, tiny trichome heads naturally separated and fell through the trim bin screen. And honestly… watching that happen never gets old. At one point we jokingly started “playing the drums” Moroccan style across the trim bin while working, moving material gently across the screen and collecting the resin heads gathering underneath. And the result? Beautiful golden powder. Tiny greasy trichome heads. Pure aromatic dust from the plant itself. Eventually we pressed part of it together gently using finger warmth and pressure, creating a tiny mini temple ball. Small. Dark. Sticky. Greasy. Beautiful. The type of resin that already tells you: “This plant is going to wash beautifully later.” And yes… that curiosity is still alive and stronger than ever. Because despite everything already documented here, we still have: more than 700 grams of fresh frozen flower material waiting patiently inside the freezer. That future report is still coming. And honestly? We are incredibly excited for it. But there is no rush. That material is preserved safely and waiting for the right moment to become: * ice water hash, * solventless resin, * or whatever expression this GMO decides to offer us later. For now, this chapter belongs to drying, trimming, preservation, and preparation. Before ending this report, one more important thing: cleaning. Once trimming was finished and the room slowly emptied, it was time to clean everything thoroughly and prepare the environment for future runs. And honestly, this part matters far more than many growers realize. Between runs we strongly believe in: * deep cleaning, * sanitizing surfaces, * cleaning fans, * sterilizing tools, * removing plant residue, * using UVC if available, * using ionizers or environmental tools carefully, * and resetting the room properly. Because prevention is always easier than fighting problems later. A clean room protects future harvests. And after a run like this? The room deserved a respectful reset. Now next week? Next week we finally move deeper into: * curing, * smoke review, * terpene evolution, * flavor, * effects, * smoothness, * strain review, * and our true thoughts about GMO Cookies after spending months with this cultivar from seed until cure. And honestly… we cannot wait. Before ending, as always: Thank you. To Zamnesia. To F.O.G. To Plagron. To Lumiflora. To Grove Bags. To the platform. To the community. To the growers sharing knowledge. To the hash makers. To the flower lovers. To the silent supporters. To the curious people following this strange garlic-filled adventure 😄 To everyone spending even a few moments here with us. This GMO Cookies run truly was served with extra curiosity. And honestly? That curiosity still hasn’t disappeared yet. 🌱 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

6/6/2023 Week 9- Day 1 of Flower (Day 124 overall) (Day 63 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 3.. Just watched them be beautiful. I also did a Trichome check today things are moving along nicely. 6/7/2023 Week 9- Day 2 of Flower (Day 125 overall) I admit it I couldn't help it there were some blatant offender leaves blocking the light from some of the canopy buds so they had to go..... and when I took them I found a few more in between leaves that had to go.. so long story short some defoliation did happen.. :-) 6/8/2023 Week 9- Day 3 of Flower (Day 126 overall) Auto pilot re-engaged.. I sat back took some photos and just enjoyed how beautiful this light side and dark side thing the plants are doing The buds are almost as long as my Sharpie. I also applied the last application of my Hermie spray to the clone I took in Apr to reverse it. 6/9/2023 Week 9- Day 4 of Flower (Day 127 overall) Auto Pilot Day 2... :-) It was check in day today for the grow off. Last check in for the competition. Trichomes are looking great.. did another check today will keep an eye on it just incase I need to cut earlier than planned. Tomorrow Water change day! 6/10/2023 Week 9- Day 5 of Flower (Day 128 overall) Auto pilot for the Ladies' but Water Change Day! I added 36 gallons Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil Root DRIP = 1Mil/Gal= 36Mil CalMag= .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil FloraMicro = 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil FloraGro= 2.8Mil/Gal= 100Mil FLoraBloom= 4.3Mil/Gal= 155Mil LiquidKoolBloom= 2.5Mil/Gal= 90Mil TPS SIGNAL= 3Mil/Gal= 108Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil Water Temp= 71.2 Tent Temp= 76 6/11/2023 Week 9- Day 6 of Flower (Day 129 overall) Auto Pilot Day 4... I just enjoyed the nice smell coming from the tent today, and the contrast between light and dark side buds that they did. 6/12/2023 Week 9- Day 7 of Flower (Day 130 overall) Auto Pilot Day 5. These ladies are looking amazing, the fade is coming in nice purple on plant #3 and really nice yellow on #2.

This girl is growing amazingly and she stinks you Thai Mint 😍 She’s definitely my one of favourite strains. Most of her pistils have receded and once they have all done I’ll start checking her trichomes. I think it’ll be around 2 weeks before harvest and a bud wash. Happy growing 🤙🏿

The girls are moving along nicely just watering with water ph to 6.4 this week as I top dressed with Gaia green 4-4-4.Spider farmer Se7000 dialed in at 30 percent and to the ceiling.Noticed some minor deficiencies Day 12 and check soil slurry 50/50 soil/water and the ppm was at 780 lil high at this early stage and the culprit.Going to work on lowering that a bit this week.I did add a top layer of fox farm ocean forest as well which runs a little hot with nutrients rather than the pro mix.I have to remember with these beautiful auto flowers less is better :)

Cultivo de 7 automaticas mix psycho muy buena producción en solo 4 meses.

Day 23, been QCing the buds and lots defoliation the past 2 days. Getting caked in Trich and some nice bright orange hair poping out. Added trimmed buds to mulch layer. No fan leaves in mulch

Day 92. Almost there. Will flush next week.

This girl is nearing the end... Very happy the buds are the hardest.I have ever felt.. looking forward to this one.Hope everyone is doing well, happy growing ✌️

I am starting Zealix. I scuffed the seed ends. Dropped her in water for the first 24 to 48 hours. As soon as I see a tap root, I will place in the rock wool. Grow diaries is not working right. I will upload the pictures when it is functioning better.

This week I’m defoliated the baby’s hard so all the nuggs are getting light

Hallo liebe Growfreunde 💞 Diese Woche war die Entwicklung toll der Geruch ist unfassbar. Candyshop wenn ich das Zelt öffne, Geruch von Citrus bis Beerig alles dabei🤗🤗😎 die Gorilla Zkittlez stretcht sich gerade erst und bildet Blüten, obwohl wir in woche 6 sind👀 aber sieht gut aus😅. Die Sweet ZZ von Royal Queen Seeds macht ein wenig Probleme. Kleine Rostflecken auf den Blättern. Das ist dem Autopot System geschuldet. Die Erde bleibt zu feucht wenn der Hahn vom Tank dauerhaft geöffnet ist. Mache das jetzt nach Topfgewicht. Wenn einmal geflutet wurde wieder ausschalten und erst öffnen wenn die Töpfe merkbar leichter sind. So kann dass CalMag besser aufgenommen werden von den Wurzeln. Also liebe Growfreunde, bis nächste Woche 👋👋 Lasst gerne ein like da oder folgt mirdamit ihr immer up to date seid 🤩 würde mich riesig freuen Leute. Auch gebe ich euch gerne Tipps zu Problemen die ihr vllt habt. Einfach fragen, wenn ich kann helfe ich liebend gern💗 Tut gutes liebe Growfreunde 💞💗💞💗

It just goes to show great results can come from Autoflowering plants ! This is a incredible strain plenty of taste and smell. With a lovely relaxed stone great for anytime of the day ! But smoke to much and you will feel sleepy ! Great strain helps me sleep and feel relaxed ! Big smile on my face when I smell the buds crushed up in the Grinder 🔥🔥💨💨 zambeza seeds have got some fire at amazing prices !!🔥🔥💚

Flowers are getting bigger.

Day 1 — Monday 9/15/25. Installed a timer on a 12/12 cycle finally taking this girl out of 24 hours light schedule . Because it’s day1 of flower I also gave her a full strength feed of flower nutrients which includes my new organic foop, stash, & incredible bulk . That’s 95ml per gallon of water plus 1/2 tsp of stash and 1/4 tsp of incredible bulk . She looks hungry hopefully this doesn’t overdo her . I’m thinking she still needs some “grow” nutes for these first 2 weeks atleast but I’m going to see how she responds to this strictly flower feed to make sure I haven’t overdone it . I’ve moved the clones out the tent & cleaned out the crud in the humidifier since I stopped using purified water it gets build up . That branch I tried taking back together has died ! Can’t save em all I only hate it bc it’s from the ONLY branch that regrew from that one half of my plant it’s near dead state . This 5x5 plant is only 1/2 of a plant trained to cover my tent’s entirety meaning if I had the other half I’d have a 5x10 plant . I’m I dunno how long this girls is supposed to flower for . . 8 weeks ? 10 weeks ? 12 weeks ? I’ll need to find that out to adjust my feeding and light intensity accordingly . It’s been FUN but now it’s time to get to the FUNNEST part ! The Bud! Day2 flower 9/16/25 completed our HEAVY DEFOLIATION. Got about 93% of it out of there I’d say there’s about 7% more I want to get out of there . These next 3 weeks are the last times I’ll be able to pull leaves before these too many trichomes to not glue your fingers/tools together . Shes look crazy as she always does when I strip her back but her bones are great . I broke another branch today while defoliating and trying to better spread out the canopy for coverage . I’m undecided will I scrap the clone projects as I do not feel like slapping together another make shift setup for lighting purposes and I don’t want to let them get leggy between nodes before I decide what I want to do with them . I may hate this bud and not want to grow out the clones . I may love the bud and be thanking myself I made these clones . I dunno viewers choice ! What do we do with the clones during flower??? Comment below Lights out begins at 6:50pm she stays dark for 12 hours . Humidifiers refilled shes coasting into sweet dreams . Looking online quickly it says she flowers 8-10 weeks so that doesn’t really help me gauge when to stop feeding & when to start flushing so I’ll keep looking for more definite answers . Happy Growing ! Give us a like

I changed the fertilizer from organic to inorganic. It was seen that the plant was needed nitrogen, the plant was rather weak in growth, and the color of the leaves was yellow. When i had return to mineral fertilizers the plant immediately restored.

🗓️Day 107 🗓️Day 67 Flower 16/08/24 Saturday The time is NOW 😋😁👏🎉💚

Hello happy growers! All's ok this week, #1, #2, #3, look nice, we can start to see some nice buds, #4 turn more and more yellow, I don't know what's happens, she have the same condition than 3 others. I'll remove some leaves/plant next week end, because starting to be small with all this leaves I've give / plant 1.5l water + rqs bloom tabs + sugar royal 1.5l water + rqs bloom tabs + pk13/14 I think i ll give water each 2 days, 3/4 days start to be long. Have a good week my mate! Enjoy!

5/8/25 Chopped at day 65 of flowering. Will update more soon. Not sure if the plagron product did much of anything. Thank you to Zamnesia and Plagron for sponsoring this Grow. 5/9/25 first day/night of drying and temps are at 67.8 and humidity is at 61% 5/12/25 i had left for vacation for the weekend but when i came back the whole house smelled like a dispensary lol and the humidity was down to 55% sadly but i have it back up to 60% and 67°F. tonight will be day 4 of drying and i suspect theyll be done in the next couple days around day 6 or 7 Eternity Grow Cup 2025 🤙💣🤘
