Cant take my eyes off my plant. This is my second round of growing and I am the type of person who learns through failure (not gonna upload the pics of the first round plants lol). The buds are thickening up very nicely. Hoping to get between 3-4oz , the strain is high yielding but I have a smaller tent. My auto yielded 2oz with the same space (2 plants in one tent splitting the space), but the buds definitely didn't develop as well as these buds.

12/27/21 Start of Week 4 , Growth has started again from transplant , Watered 1ltr of Nutrient water to each.12/30/21 watered 1250ml of nutrient water each, plants have really started growing again. Thinking from germination threw week 2 both the ts600 and the ts3000 were too close and too powerful , just from my observation of growth, something to try on my next grow. Added video and pictures.

Adjusted the pH range and watered when needed. That will continue to be the case from now til the end of flower. I can hardly wait for harvest. It's going to be great. The zkittlez is getting plump and is already dense as the PCD I grew. It doesn't quite have the smell profile I was hoping for but the frost factor is crazy. The Liberty Haze is smelling great and is fantastic in structure the colas are about 12-17" long. It's great! Stoked for the last half of flower. The forbidden fruit is being neglected but it's managing to hang in there.

Hey Leute, Woche 6 ist im vollem Gange!!! Den Ladys geht es soweit ganz gut, sie haben sehr viel Durst durch die Hitze im Keller! Alle 3-4 Tage haben sie schon wieder richtig Durst nach 5 Liter Wasser. Leider habe ich es mal wieder zu gut gemeint mit dem Dünger, konnte aber noch schnell genug mit PH 5.8 Wasser gegen halten. Nach einer Kontrolle der PPM im Wasser hatte ich einen Wert von 4000 und mit diesem Düngeshema hatte ich schon drei mal gegossen… Ich versuche momentan die VPD einzuhalten ist aber schwer bei 30 Grad in der vollen Blüte bei 65-70% RL zu bleiben. Ich werde ab Mitte dieser Woche dann wieder mit dem Düngen beginnen. Wie man auch sehen kann, habe ich die Großen Fächerblätter noch entfernt, damit die ganzen Nährstoffe und Energie in die Buds geht. Beim nächsten Run, werde ich das erheblich früher durchführen, und beobachten ob ich dadurch auch so Riesen Buds erhalte wie andere. Die Lampe musste wieder auf 75% runter gedreht werden, einfach zu warm. Zum Glück etwas überdimensioniert, dadurch ein ppfd-Wert von 1400-1000 im Ganzen Zelt. Liebe Grüße, Fićo

***Note that I started to count the days when I placed the seeds between paper towels. The seeds were planted 3 days later and sprouted from the ground 2 days after being planted. D80 (13/05/2021): I'm looking at the trichomes every other days. Glue Gelato is starting to show amber on top buds. No amber for Banana Kush and Gelato. This time I will chop them all at the same time so the one I will rely on is the Glue Gelato. As soon as she is ready, I will harvest them all. Banana Kush and Gelato would probably need more, but in term of logistic, I need to harvest all my plants at the same time. D83 (16/05/2021): Not ready yet. I'm checking trichomes closely! 😬 - Light: the lights are at 100% and at 12 inch form the plants. - Temperature: during the day: 24-25C ; during the night: 20C. - Humidity: the humidity is maintain around 46-48% all the time. - Air circulation: There is an oscillating fan on the ground, one fixed fan pointing on top of the canopy and one fixed fan to help cool the lights. - Water: I gave water every other day or when the ground feel dry or the pots feels light. - ***IPM: I never mention it but I'm using nematodes pouch as an integrated pest management. I had trouble with pest in my first grow and I learned from it. That's the only thing I do for pest and of course watching closely and regularly at my plants 😊

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.

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.

Ztrawberries= as you can see from the pic and video these girls are skyrocketing climbing almost an inch a day. Showing good signs of pre flower, very impressed with dominant heads coming through on all these ladies 👌🏽 Tropicana cookies = These girls are just showing off there stretch rate match that of the ztrawberries and it’s and impressive spectacle to watch also showing good signs of pre flower Cherry Cola = These girls seem a week slower than the rest none of the less they are showing a decent amount of heads just no signs of any stretch. O.N = Ztrawberries and Tropicana Cookies have had some defoliation not really touched Cherry Cola so I don’t cause any unnecessary stress. EC increased from 1.1 to 1.3. Very happy this week!!

Day 44 - 15.12 - The flowering is begening but she's a bit shy like if she wanted to take her time. She received a tea spoon of Mr.B's Bloom to give her more energy for that flowering phase. The vertical growth looks stoped compared to the past weeks/days She's not getting much taller so this is time to produce buds ✌️🏼😁 A bit of rain did water the pot like you can see on the video. ------- Day 45 - I don't remember if I told you about my Gsc clones I did take about 10 days ago , maybe less. So they are now rooted and I transplanted them in 3L pots with a good amount of Mr.B 's Growth ( 2 teaspoon and a half each) in attempt to make the grow big the faster I can due to the fact they are autos they will tend to induce flowering quickly. ------- Day 46 - Xmas is coming so she needed a fresh style 🌲

Hi guys, here's the report of the week. I continued to apply Big Bud in two twenty-litre buckets and I added 30 ml dividing them and always a small percentage of herba line booster to keep the roots alive. I continued to add just under 5 ml on the total of b 52 I increased .👌 2 days later the mature duck exploded I increased the molasses and lowered big bud to 10 ml then I continued to give 30 ml x 20 liters of TOP CANDY from the top crop... the week ended 😨WINTER AND RAIN HAS ARRIVED!! after an evening of fine rain I decided to move all the little ones under the roof to have full control of the washing.

Buds are swelling up coming up to the final couple of weeks in flower. Will push for another week or two as trichomes are now mostly cloudy. Some of the tops have been pulled out slightly just to try an increase light penetration

I was extremely happy with this grow. I was aiming for 1 lbs and I achieved 1.43 lbs total. The strain is a simple grow for anyone that can keep the environment on point. They are susceptible to pests, so a bit of previous experience in treating bugs is a plus. There seems to be either a rogue strain or a very special pheno within my garden. One plant showed a deep purple color starting in week 5 of flower. It grew out to some stanky and solid golf ball sized colas. Im keeping this stuff separate for the cure, as it is exotic looking and smokes like a dream. The Scroggernaut performed well. I was initially concerned that I would have issues trying to grow a scrog next to a free form. However, keeping diligent on the LST/HST right through midway flower made sure that the canopies were fairly level, and no ladies went missing valuable lumens, and none got light burnt. All in all, the Scroggernaut worked well and allowed me the flexibility of moving unscrogged plants, and with the extra space, made for easy watering of the scrogged plants. Harvest results: Plant 1 = 246g wet, dried to 64g Plant 2 = 345g wet dried to 103g Plant 3 = 338 g wet dried to 93g Plant 4 = 256g wet dried to 64g Plant 5 = 248g wet dried to 63g Plant 6 = 240g wet dried to 75g Plant 7 = 330g wet dried to 91g Plant 8 = 302g wet dried to 88g Improvements for next round include: 1) Increasing grow room size 2) Will raise the height of the scrog by 6 inches or so to help with comfort during watering 3) Will likely run Hempy buckets next to soiless mix and compare the growth rates 4) Will grow 1 extra week in veg I want to thank the GrowDiaries community, and especially the creators of the site for allowing me to share my grow with the world. It has been very fulfilling to track my progress, receive feedback from others, and have a resource for solutions to problems that I have never encountered before. 👊 Thank you as well to my Grower network who have provided some laughs and some interesting chat . Big ups! See you next year

Starting to really be thirsty. Soon as I started the nutrients they started drinking almost twice as much water. Did some low stress training this week and probably continue tying back and levelling through the next two weeks. Since it’s an empty tent right now really letting them stretch out ;p

Hey guys, We are getting very close to the harvest, I would say one more week and I'll be ready to cut her down. Smell start to pungent and I love it! Buds are pretty compact but relatively small. I can see by the end of the week most of leaves are turning yellow, sign that the plant its releasing the last energies. Trichomes are mostly cloudy and for now there's no sign of ambers one. I'll keep you guys posted with the harvest week. Stay tuned, stay high!
