We’re now fully in production mode!🔥 The stretch is definitely done, and she’s putting all her energy into bud development. The trichomes are multiplying nicely, and the smell is becoming more and more intense, fresh lemon with a subtle sweet twist.🍋🍬 The bud structure is quite different from what I’m used to, more airy and elongated, kind of sativa-like. Curious to see how this one finishes up. Still healthy, still cruising, let’s see what next week brings!

⭐ GMO Cookies: A Tale From the 12/12 Frontier Welcome to the beginning of our GMO Cookies journey — a Zamnesia creation stepping into the 12/12 seed run with mystery, character, and creativity. ⸻ 🌼 Germination Summary Seed Source — Zamnesia Seeds Seed Count for This Report 3 seedlings selected for documentation (More were germinated; only the standout ones were chosen for this diary.) ⸻ Starting Method (Observational Log) All seeds began in the CannaKan germination system for visual monitoring. Around the 36-hour mark, early root activity became visible — matching the general timing of the other autos in this project. Seedlings were then placed into: • PRO-MIX soil • Some beneath small humidity domes • All inside the shared environmental conditions of the main 8×8 tent ⸻ Emergence Within 2–3 days, the GMO Cookies seedlings surfaced with steady, healthy vigor. Their emergence synced smoothly with the rest of the autoflower lineup, joining the unified starting rhythm of the 12/12 Frontier experiment. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Context (Shared Tent Conditions) These are observational notes consistent across all genetics in the run: • Relative Humidity: approx. 60–65% • Day Temperature: ~26–28°C • Night Temperature: ~20–21°C • Humidifier: active continuously • Light misting: to support ambient moisture • Heater: helping stabilize nighttime warmth • Lighting: • Future of Grow — Air Grow Pro III HyperRED • Lumiflora UE150 under-canopy LEDs (to be introduced later) • Controllers: TrollMaster (previous collaboration) • Medium: PRO-MIX soil for GMO Cookies • Tent Prep: completely sanitized before the project began All GMO Cookies seedlings share the same controlled conditions as part of this documented observational experiment. ⸻ 🌈 Educational Notes for This Genetic GMO Cookies is a fan-favorite genetic known for bold character and expressive traits. In this diary, we’ll observe: • Subtle differences between the three selected seedlings • How this genetic expresses itself under a unified 12/12-from-seed experiment • Any notable visual cues, posture, color, or early personality No predictions — just curiosity, exploration, and honest documentation. ⸻ 🙏 Acknowledgments A warm thank-you to: • Future of Grow — providing the lighting technology for this project • Plagron — supporting substrates and soil mixes • Zamnesia Seeds — genetics powering this series • Lumiflora — under-canopy LED innovation • TrollMaster — environmental controllers from past collaborations • GrowDiaries — the platform hosting the full journal And, as always: • OG supporters • New followers • Silent watchers • Curious explorers • The kind, the critical, and everyone in between This community is what keeps this project alive. ⸻ 🧡 Closing Note for the Report This marks the first chapter of GMO Cookies: A Tale From the 12/12 Frontier. Three seedlings now step into this experimental space — ready to show their individuality as the project unfolds. More photos, observations, and educational notes coming soon.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. 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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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.

Earlier in the week, I saw a discolored bud, and upon closer inspection, I found bud rot. Ugh. I immediately cut off the infected bud and the one closest to it. I looked through the canopy but couldn't see any more affected buds. Right after, I went out of town for a few days to Mary Jane, the big Cannabis Conference in Berlin. It was the first one after legalization, and it was wild. I had an awesome time, and it was great to meet up with friends while in Berlin. What wasn't so great was seeing more signs of budrot when I returned home—those days of +85% humidity at the start of last week made the botrytis go brr. Sigh :( Checking the trichomes showed it was still early to harvest, but I decided to chop anyway to save the unaffected buds. I also decided to hang each branch separately, as it would allow me to inspect each one closely to ensure no affected buds made it into the drying tent. Another reason is to decrease the drying time. Usually, I prefer a long dry, but due to botrytis, I aim to speed up the process. Overall, I found 12-15 affected buds, and of course, they're always the nicest-looking buds. I don't care about the yield loss, as more than enough is still left. I only hope the remaining buds are unaffected, and I'll inspect them daily throughout the dry. Now we wait. And hope.

This week went pretty well, other than she stretched like crazy and I am now getting worried about running out of vertical space. I also had a few of my bottom leaves get a few brown and yellow spots on them. I did post some pics and asked a question, thank you for the responses, much appreciated! I am thinking about adding my Spyder Farmer LED 100 Watt light into the tent for the nebula auto because it is about 23 inches shorter than the sour diesel. I believe it would only raise my temp about 2 degrees, and possibly lower the humidity by one or two percent. I must say my dehumidifier has been a freaking stud, running 24X7 and not complaining. I should look into adding another unit, it has been in the mid 90's and muggy for about a week. So far I have to say I am super impressed and excited with this setup, the genetics, and with growing this wonderful plant in general. Already planning ahead to my next grow, and what I can do better. I have been enjoying myself and I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to answer my questions! I am having a blast and am excited to see what this lady will give up in a few weeks!

Still fighting the heat, added a stronger bottom vent, managed to stabilize the temp to 25C. Relative Humidity is still a bit high, specially when opening the tent in the morning and at nighttime. AC working strong. Started taking PH measurements, though not very accurately (chem test). Apparently my mix of 2:1 Brita/tap water was good, the water in the tap is very alkaline (>8), the filter reduces the PH nicely. I read that Brita also filters out CalMag, so I've added a little boost. I'll stop using the greengro nutrient next week, I think it's Nitrogen level is too high. I received Johnny Green's Greengro in a grow deal, the other nutrients (except CalMag) are from the same line.

Alright folks! So this harvest was fantastic! I mean! I’m a happy grower at harvest for any plant! I could harvest one amazing and one meh and be just as happy to cut dry and cure them both! This early miss smoked well and is only about two weeks in cure, this is a rank and musky strain with a whole plethora of combining smells, I find it had a massive pepper and spice hit with almost a food like consistency with its smell, I’m finding a even pine, spice, earthy almost cheesy platform with a fine kick of just a odd but interesting odder I can’t put my thumb on! The density of even the popcorn flower is unreal, rocks all of them. A very light almost desert sandy trichome layer in the interior of the nugs but toward the exterior it’s a lush dark green and red hue with purple calyxes also being seen from the top and Bottom inner and some outer calyxes. The trichome production was very impressive also the fast growth in veg was awesome! But I’m telling you! The big bud genetics and the white widow genetics in this are both prominent, and I love it! I’m saying for a auto it’s pretty potent! And not to say that other autos aren't! We all know they can be pretty Damn amazing! But yeah! The flavour is that of pepper and spice! Pine and a gassy greasy fresh herb blend! I wish I had taken more time to run her though because I believe if I had kept running her, her potency would have been a bit higher and definitely would have achieved a more full couch lock. But over all a easy grow and a dense dense grow. I recommend dropping rh and bringing head up a tad at the end to make those nugs as hard as you can! But that’s my bro advice lol
