GMO Cookies — Week 8 From Seed (≈ Week 3 Flower — 12/12 From Seed) “Served with extra curiosity.” 🌱 Quick Recap (For Everyone Joining Now) These girls have been running 12/12 from seed from day one. No traditional vegetative phase. They decided their timing — we followed. This is not about chasing more harvests per year. It’s about efficiency, energy management, and less unnecessary labor. We are now at Week 8 from seed, which we consider early–mid flower transition (Week 3 flowering) based on pistil development and stacking behavior. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions The room is looking strong and stable. • Temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: ~70% (slowly reducing) • PPFD: 800–1300 µmol/m²/s (varies per plant height) • Airflow: Heavy exchange + vortex + crosswinds Now let’s explain the why. We are prioritizing leaf VPD, not just room VPD. Because of strong airflow and active transpiration, we can run slightly higher humidity at this stage without creating microclimate issues. Big intake. Big exhaust. Vortex movement. Crosswind fans breaking boundary layers. This allows us to push intensity safely. And intensity is where the fun begins. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy We are not just running a top light. We are using: • Over-canopy lighting • Inner canopy lighting • Under-canopy lighting Why? Because photosynthesis doesn’t only happen at the top cola. Lower sites can remain productive if light penetrates and airflow supports them. Benefits: • More uniform energy distribution • Reduced larf • Better lower bud development • Higher nutrient demand (which we are seeing) This multi-angle light system is part of why we can push EC while still seeing substrate EC remain low. ⸻ Feeding & EC Strategy Current Irrigation EC: ~2.4 Substrate EC reading: ~0.9 That tells us something important: The girls are eating. When runoff/substrate EC remains low despite high input EC, it means uptake is strong and salts are not accumulating. The moment we see substrate EC climbing? We reduce feed EC immediately. End goal: Final week or so → likely water only. ⸻ Current Nutrient Recipe • CalMag Pro • Terra Bloom • Power Buds • Green Sensation • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal (No more Vita Race foliar for now.) ⸻ 🔬 Why We Switched Additives We moved from Power Roots → Power Buds + Green Sensation Power Buds • Encourages flower initiation • Supports generative growth • Helps hormonal shift into flowering mode Green Sensation • PK booster • Adds Magnesium & Iron • Supports enzyme systems & chlorophyll stability • Assists in energy transport during early bulking phase We are now in the stage where roots are established — focus shifts to flowers and energy management. ⸻ ⚗️ Order of Mixing (Chemistry Matters) This is important. 1. CalMag first Our water is very soft. We raise EC to ~0.7 using CalMag before adding anything else. Why? • Calcium stabilizes solution chemistry. • Prevents nutrient lockout. • Reduces risk of precipitation when adding PK later. • Supports cell wall strength during high transpiration. 2. Base nutrients (Terra Bloom) 3. Additives (Power Buds, Green Sensation, Pure Zym, Sugar Royal) Mixing order affects solubility and stability. This is not random. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development Defoliation was done recently. Result? It looks like nothing happened. The canopy refilled quickly. Structure is strong. Stretch is controlled but active. Stacking is beginning. They are bigger than expected at this stage, to be honest. This is where things get interesting. ⸻ 🔬 Macro Season Begins We are entering the phase where microphotography becomes meaningful. Yes, it’s always interesting. But now: • Trichome stalks are forming. • Resin heads are developing. • Pistil clusters are stacking. • Leaf surface gland density increases. From this week forward, macro and focus stacking will become part of the reports. Not for hype. For documentation. ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect Next Week • Continued stacking • Slight humidity reduction • Possible EC adjustment depending on substrate readings • Increased resin production • Internodal swelling No drastic changes planned — just observation and precision. ⸻ 🤝 Appreciation Section Thank you to: • The long-time followers • The OGs • The critics • The silent readers • The new growers joining • The Grow Diaries platform • The sponsors • And everyone watching quietly This doesn’t happen because I’m alone in the garden.

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.

Hello y'all! Today marks the last day of the third week of flowering. At the start of this week I watered the plant with 1 liter of plain water, no excess draining. I also applied some extra LST, I really wanted to expose as much as possible the buds. My light is not that powerful, it produce real 70/75 watts... so I do my best to take advantage of it with some LST and a major defoliation. I took out 13 leaves, some of them were a bit crushed or damaged so they had to go to create more space for the light and overall for the health of the Titan. Some of them they were just making too much shade on the buds so they also had to go ahhahaha Couple of days ago I watered with 3 liters of water with nutrients. The excess was 1.5 liter. I found the limit of the pot, around 2.5/3 liters of water per week. That's the sweet spot. I was concerned that the plant didn't drink enough but then if I take in consideration that the pot is only 7 liters and I did fill it with around 6 liters of soil...then I think is more than fine as it it. We will see. So in conclusion this week the baby got roughly 4 liters of water adjusted to pH 6.3. The water that drained off the pot was around pH 6.7/6.8. I think is a little too much and I am considering to water next time with pH around 6.0 o 6.1 maybe I will be able to drop the pH of the excess water to 6.6 or 6.5. We will see. The temperature is constantly around 21 to 23 degrees celsius and the humidity at the moment is constantly under 50%. At least I don't have to worry about mold. I hope. The smell is strong with some mango scents, amazing plant! I hope it smokes also as good as it smells! I wanted to point out something that I've noticed and it popped in my mind. My pot was for 7 liters but in the pot I have roughly 6 liters of soil. So there is some extra empty space for soil on the very top of the pot. The problem is that I noticed that on the very bottom of the main stem the plant tried to sprout some extra roots but because there was no soil around it they didn't spread and died straight away. I've noticed that the plant could be much stronger or bigger if I let her root also a bit higher on the main stem... but because there was no soil around the stem the roots didn't come out from there. You can see it in the last picture. I circled in red the spots. I believe I could do much better if the roots were starting a lil higher on the stem and not just where is the soil. If you don't get me or im unable to explain myself cus im stoned then please give a look at the last picture of this week. You will understand what I meant, if not peace and love the same hahahaha Overall I believe everything is going in the right direction, in 2 weeks +- I should harvest. I hope I can get 30 g dry of this plant. Anyway The trichomes are far away from ready, or white or even a lil cloudy. Look at the last video, 80/85% of the trichomes still transparent and lucid. If you see some whiteish is probably the camera going nuts not a ready trichome. See you next week guys for the updates of the 4th week of flowering! The smell is delicious af

Here I am again with an exciting update on my amazing plant's growth during this crucial week of flowering!💪👽 The plant continues to thrive thanks to Plagron's exceptional nutrient line, displaying healthy buds and robust growth that continues to amaze me week after week. In fact, in just seven days, it is incredible to notice how the buds have grown in volume and the resin has increased. The TrollMaster "TENT-X" environmental control system once again proves to be fundamental in my setup, allowing me to maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels for the plants. This stability is critical to growing success and plant health. 💪🚀😎 The MEDIC GROW MINI-SUN 2 240W LED light continues to provide perfect light conditions for my plants, ensuring they were receiving the right amount of light for maximum growth potential. Viewing detailed temperature, humidity and VPD graphs gives me valuable information about the growing environment, allowing me to optimize conditions and create the best environment for plants to thrive. I shared a video showing the live graph of temperature, humidity and VPD of the entire week of growth, demonstrating the effectiveness of these technologies in ensuring an optimal growing environment for plants. As I enter my eighth week of flowering, I'm excited about the new obstacles and discoveries that await me in my grow room. With the support of Plagron nutrients and the precise control system offered by TrollMaster, I am confident that I will achieve exceptional harvest quality. I appreciate your continued support on this journey of growth and exploration. I continue to prepare for another successful week in the world of plant breeding! 💪👽🚀

Seeing new bud development.

Hi all not much going on this week just feed and kept comfortable hopefully done good enuf job 👍 Wedding cheese cake 2 weeks or so ahead of strawberry banana. Its me first grow though and really knew nothing when I started other than a bit of studying for few weeks never took into consideration about one strain finishing faster and no were to dry it so asked wife can use wardrobe,nearly ended living back with my mammy🤣🤣 I jst taught ill use that tent for everything haha how stupid was I to think different strians different plants all be ready together when I need them to not when they are haha so went out bought another tent small one so not to be tempted to fill that up is well then have to buy another one to dry before you know it I'll have ten tents and still no where to dry 🤣🤣🤣so small marshydro tent for drying and drying only haha then hopefully all be good anyone know the right temps and humidity for best results.I hear many different ones its very confusing.so started flushing wedding cheese cake going to try do at least ten days flush till tent comes with just ph 6.0 water still feeding strawberry banana fir another week or 2 maybe. Thanks for stopping by and having a look keep growing and blazing all.

Vegetationswoche 7 - 22.05. - 29.05.26 Diese Woche war eigentlich ziemlich unspektakulär. Ich habe der Pflanze im Grunde einfach ihren Raum gegeben und sie machen lassen. Kein großes Eingreifen mehr, außer hier und da mal ein paar Blätter entfernt und die Triebe langsam unter dem Netz verteilt. Die Utopia wächst mittlerweile richtig stark. Satte grüne Blätter, kräftige Blattfarbe und allgemein ein sehr vitaler Eindruck. Die Äste bleiben schön kurz und stabil, was zwar super ist, das Einfädeln ins Netz aber etwas schwieriger macht. Mal schauen, wie lange es dauert, bis das Scrog-Netz komplett gefüllt ist. Das Cover Crop entwickelt sich ebenfalls hervorragend und das Beet verwandelt sich langsam in einen kleinen Dschungel. Auch das Blumat-System läuft bisher zuverlässig und hält die Feuchtigkeit schön konstant. Die Temperaturen waren diese Woche durch das Wetter draußen etwas höher, lagen zwischen 24 und 29 Grad. Luftfeuchtigkeit pendelt sich bei ungefähr 65 % ein und der Ventilator läuft weiterhin dauerhaft. Insgesamt läuft der Grow gerade einfach stabil. Ist jetzt so ein bisschen die ruhigere und langweiligere Phase, aber genau so soll’s ja eigentlich sein. 👌

Light hitting with around 900 PPFD she got Composttea (Wormcastings, Batguano, Algestuff and Microbal Solution with melasse and some fresh cut Grass from my Garden) Some Training with these bending-clips. on day 22 of flower defoliation.

They looking good, but temp is a little too high. It is what it is One of the plants (In front to the left) is more frosty, with less amber pistils. But overall the trichomes are starting to go from crystal to cloudy. Which is my timing for start flush. 24/7 -Temp 23-26day/21-24night -47%RH (2+-) 25/7 Water day* start of flush Gave them till run through with plain ph balanced water, and topped it off with some light nutrients-mixed water. -Temp 23-26day/21-24night -49%RH (2+-) 26/7 -Temp 23-27day/21-24night -47%RH (2+-) 27/7 -Temp 23-26day/21-24night -47%RH (2+-) 28/7* Water day / flush -Temp 23-27day/22-24night -47%RH (2+-) 29/7 -Temp 24-27day/22-24night -47%RH (2+-)

Did some lst on one of the taller main colas because I started 2 more and needed the smaller light for them. I turned my 150w Marshydro the way it normally goes so it can cover both plants and tried to get an even top canopy for both plants to get the most out of the lamp. I think the 1 is gorilla zkittlez I was thinking stardawg at first but the leaves are very similar to the gorillaz. I keep worrying about giving higher doses of nutrients because it looks like I burned them a little bit feeding twice in 1 week. It’s hard to tell the difference between defeciency and burn sometimes which is making me want to switch to organic lol. The leafy one is starting to bud finally it seemed like even after pre flower was in full bloom it was still pushing out too many Leaves and almost no trichomes compared to the zkittlez. I’m thinking that one may be an afghan kush or something. It was really woody smelling hazelnut almost and now I’m getting some pine hints now that the buds seem to be getting back on track

Début du rinçage pour la petite plante, les trichomes commencent à devenir laiteux donc la récolte est proche. Les deux autres se portent bien, l'odeur est incroyable j'ai hâte de voir la suite !

Used real growers recharge for the first time as directed with RO water Day 13 first watering with RO water ph to 6.3

She needs a serious defoliation. I am closely monitoring the full moon coming as we are in the dry season, they rainfall may be lower hopefully. Everything else is good with her for now.

Since last week I’ve noticed I lil more growth on leaves it hasn’t been stretching as much as it was. I also had to transfer to a 5 gallon bucket noticed it grew more leaves and looks happy and healthy. This is my first grow and have been reading a lot of journals and different ways to grow. I’m still curious about nutrients and how much to give it. I’m on budget with money so can’t buy the top nutrients so does anyone know any nutrients that go for cheap but work good. I really want it blossom and grow i feel like it’s growing a lil slow.

Lots of good growth this week. Continuing to tie branches down as she grows. Doing 1 last tie down session tonight, and starting a gradual switch from 18/6 to 12/12 accompanied by a gradual lowering of the blue spectrum over the next next week.

The plants seem to have recovered from nute lockout in week 6-7. The sour looks to be finishing soon waiting on mircoscope to look at trichomes. The sour is getting frosty with a strong lemon/ pin/citrus smell! Thumbs up to @Dinafem 👍 great genetics. The BCN Critical is a beast very resistant! The plant is about 4ft tall, healthy, growing slower then the sour probably because of the size. Exactly what was advertised👌 @seedstockers, can't wait to see how these girl smoke.
