# GMO Cookies Served with Extra Curiosity 🙂 — Week 13 | 12/12 From Seed Week 13 from seed. Or, if you prefer to count it like we do around here, around week 8 flower on this 12/12 from seed experiment. And honestly? This is one of those weeks where the room starts speaking for itself. Before anything else, a quick recap for everyone just joining the journey: This entire run was done under a 12/12 light cycle directly from seed. No traditional vegetative stage, no long recovery periods, no massive training sessions trying to force the plants into shape. Just letting the plant express itself naturally under flowering light conditions from the beginning, while guiding rather than controlling the process. The idea was never maximum yield at all costs. The idea was curiosity. Curiosity about morphology. Curiosity about structure. Curiosity about behavior. Curiosity about what happens when we step back a little and simply observe. And now, at week 13, the room is changing fast. The funny thing is that if we looked only at the environmental numbers, some people would probably panic immediately. Conditions are not exactly “by the book.” But the plants clearly did not read the same books, because they are reacting beautifully. That’s another reminder that context matters more than perfection, and observation matters more than blindly chasing charts. At this stage, we are basically doing almost nothing besides enzymes and patience. No feedings anymore. Just Pure Zym. Letting the plant finish the story herself. And you can see it everywhere now. The hairs are changing color. The trichome heads are maturing. The leaves are fading into yellows and lighter greens. The buds are swelling, getting heavier, denser, louder. This is no longer the “building” phase. This is the “finishing” phase. And honestly, it’s beautiful to watch. This week was also special because we took her into the studio for a proper photo session. We slowed down, shared some medicine, observed the details, looked at the flowers under different lights, different angles, different moods. Some plants stop feeling like “projects” near the end and start feeling more like personalities, and this GMO definitely has that energy. Not harvested yet though. Close. Very close. But not yet. This is one of those important weeks where observation matters more than action. There’s a temptation near the finish line to interfere too much, but right now the plant is telling us clearly to simply watch, smell, learn, and wait a little longer. The fade happening across the room feels completely aligned with the moment: - minimal feeding, - end-of-life expression, - natural senescence, - energy redistribution, - and final ripening. Nothing feels forced. Nothing feels rushed. And that’s probably the best part of this entire run. Now the big question becomes: Will the next report be the harvest report? Honestly… maybe. 😄 We are extremely close now, but we still want to let the plant tell us when she’s truly ready instead of harvesting according to impatience or calendar numbers alone. The next few days will be mostly observation: - trichome development, - flower density, - aroma evolution, - overall plant posture, - and that final “feeling” growers know when a plant is almost done speaking. As always, huge love to everyone following this strange and beautiful little experiment. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron for the support. To GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys. To the community. To the curious ones. To the skeptical ones. To the longtime followers and OGs. To the people discovering the diary today. To the silent viewers. To the supporters. To the critics. To everyone. Seriously — thank you. At the end of the day, this was never just about growing flowers. It was about sharing the process, the observations, the mistakes, the experiments, the learning, the calm moments, and the curiosity behind all of it. Wishing everyone healthy plants, peaceful minds, good harvests, and a little extra curiosity on their own journeys too. 🌱 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

7/6/2021 - Trimmed lower fan leaves as they were being blocked completely, and a few tips were yellowing. - Continuing to lightly bend the upper branches so the lowers can catch up. - Bought some Gaia Green veg + bloom dry fertilizers as I expect I'll be flipping to flower soon. 7/7/2021 - Watered in a little bit of Gaia Green's veg fertilizer. - Foliar fed w/ DIY kelp extract. - Yellowing/browing on a new leaf, can't identify what it is. - Staked down the branches on the upper mains this evening to open her up for more light penetration, she was gettin' real bushy. 7/9/2021 - Trimmed out middle to expose canopy

OMG when you touch her she REALLY smells of grapefruit!! Sour citrus! Amazing! I'm probably secretly most excited for her harvest. She grew 11 cm too! I've not done a thing to her apart from feed/water and turn her pot 180 degrees through the week.

Time for her to go to the dark room. She has finally finished up her growth it was my first time growing this strain I will do much better next time up. Now it is harvesting and curing then testing to see how she taste. Didn't get much out of her but the best things come in small packages.I will keep GD updated on the curing and how much did I come out with hope I have better luck next time on the size I really learn alot from the GD family.

Primera experiencia de scrog y no estoy muy satisfecho. Las plantas han tenido un estres y han madurado más rápido de lo normal. El resultado son cogollos pequeños. La calidad parece igual. Supongo que ha tocar demasiado las ramas para controlarla con la red es la origen del estres. Era un experimento de defoliación. Lo he hecho en varias plantas para comparar. Es un desastre, vale mejor no tocar las hojas salvo en ciertos casos.

Something tried to nibble on Plant B, however there are no signs of pests and no further damage anywhere else (I have 6 other plants in the garden too). Plant A has already begun to develop stipules on its first set of true leaves too! Had their first feed on day 14 (2ml Fish Mix + 0.1ml Mono-silicic Acid), and were fed again on day 16 (2ml Fish Mix, 2ml Bio-Grow, 2ml Bio-Bloom, 0.1ml Mono-Silicic Acid).

As you can see in the pictures the girls have stretched quite a bit more and are starting to produce nice buds. I think the stretch should begin to slow down soon considering they're entering the third week tomorrow. That delicious sweet earlier flowering smell is getting a little stronger. Mmm! Nom nom! It is proving difficult to squeeze them both into a single picture in the room I photograph them in. I may have to start only photographing them separately next week 😅 We will see how it goes! I hope to acquire some photography florescent lights and a seamless background for future grows. Or, make a DIY background. This would allow me to take pictures elsewhere in the house where backgrounds and lighting aren't great. There was a little heat stress visible on some of the upper leaves but nothing major. I slept in yesterday morning and the lights were a little lower than they should have been. It did make the pictures a little less attractive, unfortunately. Hopefully I won't be feeling so lazy next week. Hope you all enjoyed this week! 🤗 Don't forget to like!

Pre-flowering

Had to highjack this old diary sick hope this all goes well done this 3 times now lol with a degree of success lol well I would like to thank greenhouse seed co and Andy for the chance of growing these new genetics and there very own feeding line more pics due ignore next 5 weeks until I'm there lol

Gave bloom mix of fertilizer. Starting to get chilly here so have to figure out the other extreme of the temperatures… bought a small heater and seeing if it will do. Just set lights to 12s. Countdown to signs of flower! And eyes out for any balls.

Into week three of flowering: - Need to up CalMg this week cause all my last grows with this strain the plants were stressing and showing signs of Mg deficiency I think. - The buds are stacking up pretty tight. - The top of the plant is showing some red veins AGAIN, don't know if it is genetics? Or is it too much light? ANY SUGGESTIONS? - Usually what happens is that after week three top of plant will show red veins and some leaves will turn light green yellow. What type of deficiency is this? Thanks in advance for the help. Happy growing, BM 4TwenTee *****Update on LIGHT STRESS:***** Okay I think I got this figured out. Since my plant is showing the following symptoms: - Slow yellowing of top of cannopy - Fan leaves pointing up in a steep angle - Leaves are tacoing up a bit with sharp pointy serrated leaves pointing up - Veins are turning purple and some leaves are showing green veins and yellowing of outer part of the leaf REASONS FOR THE SYMPTOMS: - Since the light is too close to the top of the canopy, although my light is running at around 60% and it is at least a meter away from the light. I think because this was a mother and basically she is accustomed to top canopy PAR of around 180-220 and she was measuring around 600PAR so that is just too much for the plant to handle. So I've lowered the light output so the top canopy is around 420 PAR. - Also my humidity is pretty high at around 72% so I lowered it to around 65% - The reason why the leaves are tacoing up to the light is because the canopy cannot take the high PAR, the temp at the top of the canopy is only 76F so that is acceptable, but the plant is trying the sweat due to the high PAR, but because the humidity was also too high it was not sweating as much as it should. - The reason why a light stressed plant shows different deficiencies eg. magnesium and phosphate is due to the "extra sweating" that takes place, cannabis plants don't choose what they intake, if they need more water to sweat, extra nutrients will be absorbed and this will lockout some of the other nutrients in the solution. **End of week update: Tried multiple changes but still no luck on getting rid of red leaf stem. - Added a 1 hour sunrise and sundown light regiment - Decreased Humidity to 65% from low 70's - Top of canopy PAR decreased from 600 to 350. Leaves red stems still not going away and top of canopy still trying to get rid of moisture with fan leaves pointing up. If anyone can chime in that would be great thanks.

Week 19 (Harvest) 2-6 Temps: 19.8 to 25.1 degrees Humidity: 41% to 62% Watering: 1000 ml. 0.0 6.5 3-6 Temps: 19.8 to 23.8 degrees Humidity: 45% to 67% 4-6 to 5-6 No info. 6-6 Harvest day! I removed some large fanleaves and hang the buds to dry on the branches. 7-6 to 19-6 Average temps: 21.3 degrees Average Humidity: 59.7% After a dry period of 12 days the buds are ready to be trimmed. Here are the end results: Buds: 72 grams. Trim: 34 grams.

🌸 Woche 5 der Blüte Die Early Skunks sind jetzt mitten in der Blüte und entwickeln sich richtig stark. Der Stretch ist so gut wie durch und die Pflanzen haben ein schönes, gleichmäßiges Blätterdach aufgebaut. Die Blüten werden von Tag zu Tag sichtbarer und setzen schon ordentlich Harz an. Das DWC-System läuft stabil: frische Nährlösung, klare Werte und die Wurzeln strahlend weiß. Genau so soll es in dieser Phase aussehen. Die Pflanzen nehmen sehr gut auf und zeigen keinerlei Mängel oder Stress – Farbe, Struktur und Wachstum sind voll im grünen Bereich. Das Klima bleibt konstant und das Setup arbeitet sauber zusammen. Licht, Luft und CO₂ greifen perfekt ineinander, wodurch die Pflanzen richtig Tempo machen. Fazit: Sehr starke Woche. Gesunde Pflanzen, satte Farbe, stabile Blütenentwicklung. Alles bereit für die nächsten Wochen, in denen die Buds jetzt richtig zulegen werden. 🌱🔥
