GMO Cookies Served with Extra Curiosity ?🍪 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 “food terpene” 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 😄 And honestly, we know it starts becoming a cliché 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 😄 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 “solvent,” 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: “This is not going to stay clean for long once trimming starts.” 😄 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 😄 To everyone spending even a few seconds here with us. This plant may already be harvested… but honestly?

Growing very well.

Hey all! 👋 Remember last week when I said Falco was getting some chlorosis? Well, the first photos show how bad it is (or was) but the plant is "old", she was quite special as a young plant and her main leaves are doing well so I suppose what is happening is just something normal or maybe some other weird factor... might be affecting her, but more probably I'm just way too worried. In my confusion I added 2ml of Green Grow (which is the growing fertilizer I previously used) thinking that she needed the extra nitrogen but in the end it seems it was unnecessary (as it's a normal process of the plant), I just removed the old leaves and left her to be. 😝 Besides what I previously said I saw a lot of bud progress this week (and I tried to picture all that! 😋). There are plenty photos of the same flower (most of the times!) showing how trichomes were constantly appearing during this week. Next week I'll be adding some extra Potassium and Phosphorus and I hope those products will help my babies to get bigger buds! I also made a video at the end of the week to show how my plants look at a normal speed plus two time-lapses. There are also some photos I took with my DSLR and an inverse ring just to see how the plant would look... and I think they look amazing! 😍 Anyway, I hope you all like the photos and thanks for reading! 👋

Week 18 Day 120 | 08/11/2021: I just can’t stop looking at them, they are so plump 🍑 I watered them today with just 1L of plain water because I want to harvest them in 4 days and don’t want them to wilt, but at the same time I know it’s better to let the soil be on the dryer side when harvesting. Day 124 | 12/11/2021: Today the beauties are being harvested!!! So exciting because they’ve been growing for a while and I can’t wait to finally vape them. From day 1, no, even from germination, the seeds were so strong and quite resistant to nutrient deficiencies. Very good and strong genes, I’m really happy that I tried them out! I will be hanging them with the stem to dry for 10-14 days, I keep the leaves so that the humidity can stay high in the tent, I used to struggle a lot with humidity when I would hang them without leaves, and then the buds tasted like hay for the next month, so I try to avoid that now. Can’t wait to see that the total weight is! They are quite big but I think the buds are not extremely dense so it could be deceiving 👀

I was not expecting to harvest that much as she was a tiny and quite slow girl, but the final yeld was very good! It was exciting to grow and finally harvest this amazing strain :)

End of 4th week soil had dry out so wasn’t taking any waters? Plants droopy like crazy had to soak them in the sink to get soil wet. Good after that gave them a little nutrients since it’s day 37 and they are doing really good. Took some leaves of that were blocking bud sites and little lst to stretch this branchesw

Hey there growers!! Sorry for skipping flower so bad.. here are some videos of the ninth and tenth week. No excuses, but someone stole from me back then and I didn't feel like making videos for a couple of weeks. But the experience went on, the female plant reversed and it's pollinating itself with my help like you see in the videos. Sorry again for the Spanish audio 😅

Day 43 - Both girls are doing well, one stopped growing tall at around 68 cm, other one is still growing. Hope this week they will start getting frosty (:

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G

first week in flower will defoliate week after all plants look real good lolipopped and cleaned

Edit from 19th May. Literally 00:09 Pre-Flowering. Fat Banana looks like Hermie. Royal Critical = clean pre-flower. Edit from 19th May. 16:26 Fat Banana had balls sack and pistils growing all over the place. I nuked everything that had balls on it. I left only top node with pistils. Royal Critical is full of pistils, no balls. Now I wish I had photoperiod seeds instead of automatics. I would give Critical 1 extra week in veg. She is around 10-15cm smaller then Fat Banana. I switched the lights back to 400W. Edit from 20th May. 14:45 I think 32C is maximum what these plants can handle. With 600W I was reaching 34C on some top leaves and that could possibly turn the Fat Banana into hermit (she was the tallest). I open the tent a little (front doors), I put big-ass fan on second gear blowing strong wind through the mesh-window of a tent. I put the lights straight up to the ceiling, I literally can't put them any higher. Fat banana is now 58cm tall and around 80cm away from the light. Royal Critical is now 41cm tall and around 100cm away from the light. 50% Humidity 28C under the canopy/on the ground under the leaves 31C Air temperature. Fat Banana fan leaves temperature: 28.5C Fat Banana center/middle of the plant: 30.9C Royal Critical fan leaves temperature: 27.5C Royal Critical center/middle of the plant: 27.8C NOTE: Royal Critical ugly/yellow leaves have higher temp: 29-30C The rest of small plants range from 28 and 32C Surface area/soil temperature DRY: 35C Surface/Soil temp. WET/SHADOW: 28-29C That pistol/laser for checking temps was solid purchase. I can see back of my tent is more hot then other areas. Will do more Temp-Checks in the future. I also deleted few things from "Condition" tab because one day they are correct, the other something change and the info is not accurate anymore. I'll update info here in edits. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Farm Control Sheet Date: 20th May 2024 Time: 16:57 Tent status: Side doors little bit open. Both windows fully open.

Edit from 22th May. @ 13:10 Nothing changes. Plants are happy and praying to their god ( me ofc :) ) Same temps Same RH I watered them yesterday after long days/weeks of dry season (cuz of FuckYouGnats). Edit from 23th May. @ 11:40am Same temps or even a bit lower then in last two days. I like it. I closed 85% of windows in tent (door fully closed) to create negative pressure that's gonna suck out the hot air. It seems to work better than what I did yesterday. Today I gave them second dose of nematodes. There is really very little Fungus Gnats around now. Sometimes, occasionally one or two "teenagers" or "baby" Gnats would fly out from bottom of pot or top of the soil after watering but that's like nothing comparing to what I had at the beginning. Shit-ton of yellow-sticky-tape does the job as well, just put it everywhere you can. / What I'm singing to Lady Banan? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZEddFi1W8k / What I'm singing to Lady Banan? Edit from 23th May @ 2pm So I'm reading about VPD now and I think, this is what is happening in my tent right now. High temps but RH at right levels makes the plant comfy in that zones. Right now plants sitting at 30.6C @ 55% RH So I'm sitting at 1.27 VPD? If I could lower my temps to 29C and keep RH at 55% that would be 1.20 VPD (which would be perfect) N o t B a d R o o k I e Edit from 24th May @ 11:24 am So in last 3 days the temperature outside my house is dropping + raining. So that means I have perfect VPD in my tent now. We are sitting at 30C @ 50-55% RH. Most plants have praying leaves, even Lady Banan stops being moody and just start fucking flowering like it should. Finally. But I can see she wanna grow even more upwards, like wtf, this is not 3 meter tent, its only 2.2m, chill the freaking out Lady Banan... Im gonna have literal forest if the rest of Bananas would grow like that. As you can see I'm kinda happy with the grow now. Fungus Gnats still present but under control. Yellow Sticky tape, especially under the mesh window, the tape is catching fuck-ton of these motherfuckers. Few days ago I did "Very Light Stress Training" with Royal Critical. So I basically just tackle the fan leaves in the way, where, when fan leaves are growing bigger, they push the side branches more to the outside (apologize for my English but you can check out the pictures and see what I mean). So she is training by her self, alone, with the power of nature = and it works, she is opening more and more every 2 days. Edit from 25th May @ 21:53 Yoyoyoyoyoyo! So my ADHD and Bipolar kicks in so Idgaf about temps, its colder, around 29C @ 45% They got a lot of fresh air today, I was "luchting" today. I think I had to water them today but... Will do tomorrow morning. I'm thinking about Pimpology classes for myself, for better communication with the bitches, you know what I mean... They ain't thickening up if they aint stressing! Edit from 26th May. Sunday. 7am DOUBLE DROP NEVER STOP LET THAT BEAUTY POP 69 PLANT SIZE: BANAN = 72CM CRITICAL = 65CM 😎

From sprout, I've been watering every 3-4 days. Been very consistent with this. Yellow tips been appearing. I think it could be Magnesium or Calcium deficiency. Hit it with some Calmag with iron.

Photos taken at Day 25: They start to recover and grow again. Sprayed them with Canna Cure to get more healthy leafs. Removed the humidifier. Lets hope they will grow for another week before they go into preflowering. Thats it for now, new pictures and updates will follow within this week. Stay tuned! Update: Day 28: Canna cure did his thing. The leafs start to get greener again. Also my feedings made them grow and recover again. Removed some lower branches and leafs. They are back in the race!

Hello my fellow growers I hope you are all having a wonderful holidays and a wonderful day in general! Anyways I have been very busy recently so I couldn’t post a weekly update but I will be posting some more pictures later this week as I will be manipulating the plant a bit more to maximize my cola potential but beyond that nothing much is happening just watering her on the Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule and letting her grow

My first grow ever don’t control the stretch so i don’t have the choice the higher bud is nearly touching the light , try to do better to the next grow ... sorry for my bad english i come feom reunion island so is not so easy for me to explain my grow but i do of my best to show you the result of lemon skunk in reunion island with tropical temperature around 27-29• the day and 23-26 degree the night
