The plants have been on cruise control 🛳️ so far and they’re loving every second of it! Despite all of them being popped around the same time, I can see the purple lemonade finishing up much faster than the lsd-25’s. No deficiencies to my eyes, slowly plumping up day by day 🤘

Continuing to use nutrients from 9 days ago. Mostly added back water to the tank to reduce the EC, as it was too high in my opinion. Going to try and milk another week out of the nutrients in the tank at the moment, as there are no obvious signs of deficiencies to note. As you can see, I have opted not to defoliate at all for this grow. So far I have only cut off two leaves just so I can get to my filler cap easily. I am doing a little supercropping here and there to level up the canopy. In just over a week they have grown from 51 cm to 93 cm. So a good 80% increase in height. An average of 2 inches of growth per day. If they grow similarly to my last crop, they should have just under 2 weeks stretching left to do. Happy new year!

Purple Chill aka Penny was easy to grow. She was medium height 26 inches. Stem structure was weak. Many stems bent (repaired with splints and masking tape) and some broke off. She suffered from heat stress and also showed cal-mag deficiency.

🌱 GMO Cookies — Week 2 (12/12 from Seed) Folder #5 | Grow Bags | PRO-MIX Week two is now complete, and this girl is developing beautifully and very consistently. All plants in this run are growing extremely similar, which is always a great sign at this stage. Structure, color, and pace are aligned across the board. By the end of the week, they are pushing into their third to fourth pair of true leaves, with healthy spacing and no signs of stress. Leaf color is vibrant, growth is balanced, and everything points toward a solid foundation being built below the surface. ⸻ 🌱 Medium & Roots — PRO-MIX + Mycorrhizae These plants are growing in PRO-MIX inside grow bags, and this medium deserves a short explanation. PRO-MIX comes pre-inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi, which play a major role early on: • They form a symbiotic relationship with the roots • Increase nutrient and water uptake • Improve root surface area • Help plants handle stress and environmental swings better At this stage, while top growth looks calm and controlled, a lot of the real work is happening underground. Strong roots now mean easier transitions later, especially when stretch and flower demand kick in. ⸻ 💡 Light Cycle & Environment All plants are running 12/12 from seed, no exceptions. Current environment (Week 2): • Temperature: stable and warm, optimized for early development • Humidity: kept slightly higher to support root and leaf expansion • PPFD: elevated for this stage on purpose The higher PPFD is intentional. These plants are healthy, rooted, and responding well, so we allow them to work a little harder. This encourages: • Stronger stems • Faster metabolic rhythm • Better preparation for the upcoming transition phase No stress signals, no clawing, no fading — so we stay the course. ⸻ ✂️ Training No training at this stage. No topping, no bending, no interference. Right now, the goal is symmetry, rhythm, and consistency. We let the plant show us her natural structure before making any decisions later on. ⸻ Genetics Talk — GMO Cookies This is the one that has me genuinely curious. GMO Cookies is known for that deep garlic / savory punch, layered over the classic cookies backbone. It’s not a “loud early” plant — this is usually a cultivar that reveals itself later, once structure and resin production begin to speak. Right now, we’re not expecting aromas or explosive growth — and that’s exactly how it should be. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week Expect: • Faster node stacking • Thicker stems • Increased leaf size • Continued uniformity across plants Do NOT expect yet: • Strong smells • Stretch explosion • Flower expression Next week is still about building the engine, not revving it. ⸻ 🌿 Final Thoughts This GMO Cookies run is doing exactly what it should be doing — nothing more, nothing less. Healthy, controlled, consistent growth is always the goal, and this folder is on point. Very excited to see how this one expresses herself as we move forward.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

The plant has been given some nore room, due to one plant being harvested. After that plant was gone, I rearranged the tent to try and give her a bit more space from the intensity of the light. 17.8.25: I watered with 3L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0 with; 💜 2ml Trace PH: 6.0 PPM: 391. Thanks for stopping by 😁💚✌️🍃🙏

Plants started getting real bushy a couple of days after topping. Low Stress Trained all the plants at the end of the week by tying them down using rubber coated garden wire to spread out the newly grown tops. Also spaced out each plant evenly on the tray and turned on the other 2 PB2000 LED lights I had ready to go.

Flowering day 11 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) The first days of this week it looked really terrible for me because it was much too cold because of the unusual temperature. The heating mat has now also arrived for the big tent and lo and behold the plants have been developing really well since that day ☺️👍. The temperature doesn't keep quite as well as in the small box, but at least I don't get below 18 degrees in the pots at night anymore, even though it's only 16 at the top 😅👍. Since I switched to flowering, it was time to rinse off a bit with Clean Fruits :-) . Did them a lot of good. You have already received the first watering with Grow Liquid and the next in a mix with Bloom Liquid 😀👍. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked.

The plant is ok, we are near the harvest. Because she is the smallest , she drinks less than the others plants I have. Also I've done some research for my problem, and I'm gonna wash the buds. I have read a lot of opinions and all the people that at first were sceptical, say that now they doing it all the time, so I'm gonna try it! If the flavour and the overall experience is good, I'll do it also on my gorilla. And what's your opinion on "bud washing"? Let me know in the comments! Here the weather is gonna be bad for the next days so I'm a lil worried because I'm so near the harvest and I'don't want to fck up things now. The humidity is gonna reach 90% so for the next 2 days I will take them inside. Sorry for the bad quality, next time I'll try to use a better camera

Las 2 más pequeñas, se adelantan y empiezan a madurar antes que las demás, ya tienen algún pelillo marrón, y sueltan una cantidad de resina increíble. Las más grandes y con cogollos más gordos, empiezan a doblarse, así que voy atando las que no aguantan el peso
