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.

[ Information ] For all grow information, including strain and room details, please see the first week of veg. [ Updates ] (Flower) Day 1 - Light intensity increased to 65%. C02 increased to 1300ppm average. Day temp/humidity 85/70 (1-1.2VPD), night temp/humidity 75/65 (.8-1VPD). Fed a diluted compost tea mixture before lights on. Base water was R/O and tap water mixed lightly with silica and Tribus microbes. Tea was a mixture of Fish Hydrolysate, Bat Guano, Molasses, Fulvic/Humic, Kelp, and Earthworm Castings. 8 gallons of tea were added to 72 gallons of water mixture for an 80gal batch total. The batch was mixed for a half hour before feeding to the room. I did not PH or PPM test the mixture, organic material is hard to get an accurate PPM reading so the numbers are useless to me. I will be working to bring the lights to 100% power over this first week of flower. Day 4 - Light intensity increased daily, currently at 90%. Will raise to full power tomorrow. C02 increased to 1800ppm average. Temp and humidity for day and night are still the same. Lights were raised slightly to maintain 12 inches from canopy height, and a few growth nodes that were above the canopy got topped. Watered today with an 80gal (1.25gal p/pot) mixture, 10% tap 90% r/o water. 6.8 PH, 2.2ec. Foliar sprayed yesterday before lights off with a neem mixture for weekly IPM. Canopies are stretching relatively evenly, though I will be adding in support nets within a few days to help maintain the even spread. I've run this strain before so I'm fairly confident that I know what to expect during these few stretch weeks. Day 7 - Lights have been at 100% since day 5. C02 still 1800-2000ppm on average. Plants are stretching quickly into the lights, I have yet to readjust their height. The best growth usually happens when I do nothing, and I've done almost nothing the past couple days besides enjoy the unusually warm spring weather my area is currently experiencing. Watered today, 100gal (1.5gal p/pot) mixture, <1ec. Mainly an organic feeding for microbe health, also wanted a bit more runoff than normal due to the high ec feeding previously.

Week 1 (17-6 to 23-6) 17-6 Temps: 23.8 to 27.8 degrees Humidity: 46% to 74% Watering: #1: 73 ml. #2: 76 ml. 18-6 Temps: 24.4 to 28.1 degrees Humidity: 56% to 75% 19-6 Temps: 23.1 to 26.9 degrees Humidity: 53% to 69% 20-6 Temps: 23.4 to 27.7 degrees Humidity: 46% to 73% Watering: #1: 96 ml. #2: 93 ml. 21-6 Temps: 23.4 to 27.8 degrees Humidity: 46% to 82% 22-6 Temps: 24.2 to 28.2 degrees Humidity: 53% to 76% 23-6 Temps: 24.9 to 29.1 degrees Humidity: 45% to 76% Watering: #1: 108 ml. #2: 98 ml. They seem happy and growing quite fast!

Last week we noticed one of the ladies had begun to show sex. A couple calyxes with barely visible white hairs coming out of them. Seeing as there's no electricity where the garden is located we opted for a 1500 lumen LED lantern, that we turn on at 11:pm every night for about 40 minutes to and hour. This seemed to have done the trick as no more hairs have been seen and the vegging process is back on track.

Wed 01/12 - 5th nodes started to come through now, once the 6th node has hit roughly 5-10mm in height i'll be topping down to 5 nodes again! (SCRoG going up on saturday followed by LST and light defoliation) - Cal-Mag deficiency has cleared up! Sat 04/12 - Topped all Plants, 7th nodes had started but chopped the 6th off back down to 5 nodes on all plants. - Very Slight yellow tips so will Cal Mag Foliar spray 30 mins before lights off. - SCRoG set at 21cm above the medium *note* one plant is now drinking double compared to the rest, most plants taking 1.25L feed every day, this one takes 2-2.5L daily! Mon 06/12 - Took off the lowest fan leaves from every plant as they're just sat in darkness doing nothing - Week 4 I will begin LST and Heavy Defoliate/Lolli-popping - Just ordered some LST Clips so they will be arriving tomorrow.

Day 14 and i gave this girls the first “little “ defoliation 😆 lets see how they react but for now they seem pretty happy 💚💚💚 Day 18 and they are as if i never touched them, no signs off any stress or delay on drinking what so ever 🙏💚 this girls are champs 💪💪💪 Ppfd- 800Umol/m2s VPD- 1.15 kPa Girls : Tropicana Poison @sweetseeds - 7X Chocolate Skunk @00seeds - 2X Badazz Cookies OG @seedsman- 3X Lights 2X Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro @ 75% All i Grow is medicine for myself, i do it with love for the love 💚💚💚 Growers love to you all

Sour Jealousy Auto FastBuds 2025 Outside Grow Week 3 April 20-26 Veg This week was mostly sunny in the mid-eighties and low 60s at night with an occasional drop into the low 50s. I added kelp fertilizer to the water twice during the week. She is about 3 inches tall. I have had her under a dome for these past two weeks. This week, after heavy rain, I removed it for good since the leaves were touching the sides. Hopefully no renegade squirrels trample her. Pics taken 4/21 & 24 Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Start of week 5 for Space panda Really starting to fall in love with the bud structure of this strain😍 Pictures dont seem to do justice to how fristy she really is. While we have the 2nd pheno now in week 2 shes deserving a little defoliation to let her lowers get some light.

Day 104 Mon PH 5.8 EC 0.6 DLI 12h PPFD Water 16-24c Day 106 Wed PH 5.8 EC 0.6 DLI 12h PPFD Day 107 Thu PH 5.6 EC 0.5 DLI 12h PPFD Water 16-24c Day 109 Sat PH 5.3 - 5.8 EC 0.6 - 0.5 DLI 12h PPFD Water 16-24c

Harvest week for atleast the BG’s. The motor breath looks like it could go a couple more weeks but won’t have the time so….. we rollin with it!

Everything is great the young ladies are happy and that makes me happy

Last week the weather outside the window was terrible - it was raining and fog. This also affected the harvest - one cola was affected by mold! I managed to avoid extensive damage and I lowered the humidity in the tent. We continued, there was very little time left until the finish line.

Just look at those buds! She's showing some beautiful colors, and displaying a lot of frost. She continues to he very thirsty, taking about 1.5L every day. No problems at all this week. In fact. I will be a bit sad to see her go. That said. I put her in 48 hours of darkness to finish her off.

Willkommen zu meinem Growbericht der Glue Gelato Auto von Barney's Farm. Die Samen sind von Zamnesias Tribe Programm als automatische Überraschungssamen angeboten worden. Das sind meine ersten Gorillas und diese hier soll schokoladig, fruchtig, beerig schmecken, da bin ich richtig wunderfitzig drauf 🍫 Der 15 Liter Stofftopf von ROOTiES kommt hier wieder zum Einsatz. Die neue Bio Hanferde von Sonnenerde wird verwendet. Und die zamnesia Smart Start Plugs mit Plagron's seedbooster plus haben sich bewährt. Tag 57: 1,5 Liter Wasser. Tag 60: Die Glue Gelato Auto von Barney's Farm schießt geradezu nach oben. Dabei hat sie jede Menge Blütenknospen. Im Growroom riecht es süß und pappig. Tag 62: 1,5 Liter Wasser. Schön, das du dir meinen Bericht ansiehst. Schau gerne wieder rein. Schöne Ostern 👋😎

Flowering Week 5 🌸 The plant is developing beautifully, with the buds stacking up nicely and becoming increasingly covered in trichomes. Thankfully, the pest damage seems to have stabilized, and the plant continues to thrive despite the earlier infestation. I gave her another heavy defoliation this week and will switch to Overdrive with the next watering. She is also giving off an incredibly pleasant, sweet aroma. Overall, I’m very happy with her progress!

Pues asi va esta preciosa cepa con 26 dias a 12/12 horas de luz, ya estoy aplicando el Green Sensation para que engorden esas flores. Me encanta la estructura compacta que tiene esta cepa sin ningún tipo de poda.

I didn t expected nothing from this plant, because of the slow and stunt start, but after the 3rd week it start to get "bigger" i m gonna try it again while i have another seed!💪 Anyway the result wasn t much, but amazing! Thanks for who followed the process, happy grow to everyone!👽
