Day 140!!! I'm back from vacation:) when I saw her live after a 3-week break, I really didn't expect such a good result:) she looks just great:) Biotabs nutrients helped her a lot :) it's a pity that summer is already ending:( and she gets little sunlight :( fog appears in the mornings, which is very unfavorable for me, I'm afraid that rot will appear, but so far everything is going smoothly:) good luck to everyone:).

Day 43 Watered them with feeding but a bit less than in Chart. Ppm is still high but because I got bio-fertilizer I think it should be okay 👍🏽. I also set the light from stage 7 to stage 9 so far the plants seem to like it. Will give an update on day 45. Day 50 Trying to fix the overfeeding. looked good Day 53 Still a bit overfed. Reducing the feed. I’m trying water without minerals next and will see how it is going.

Nothing overly exciting this week. I lollipopped all four plants and am slowly awaiting recovery before the flip to 12/12.

GMO Cookies Served with Extra Curiosity ?🍪 Drying & Trimming Report | Garlic, Gold & Preservation And once again… yes 😄 We are dividing the reports. At this point it almost became tradition. But honestly, there is simply no realistic way to fit: * harvest, * drying, * trimming, * curing, * smoke review, * fresh frozen, * washing, * strain review, * extraction plans, * terpene analysis, * and all the small details we love documenting… into one single update without turning everything into chaos. So first of all: thank you for the patience. Everything from seed until harvest was already documented in the previous reports, but for the people arriving only now, let’s quickly recap how we got here. This GMO Cookies run was grown under a 12/12 from seed cycle using the F.O.G. LED setup, with environmental management focused on healthy plant development, airflow, structure, and resin production. Throughout flower the girls received selective defoliation, LST, continuous observation, and careful feeding while expressing one of the loudest terpene profiles we have had in the room in a while. And now? Now the plants have moved beyond harvest and entered one of the most important phases of all: preservation. Because growing beautiful flowers means very little if drying and trimming are rushed afterward. So this report belongs to: * drying, * trimming, * handling, * preserving terpenes, * collecting resin, * and slowly preparing the medicine for cure. The branches that were selected for drying spent approximately: * 10 days drying, * around 60% humidity, * temperatures between 18–20°C, with the first couple of days running slightly drier in order to help remove excess surface moisture before stabilizing the environment more carefully. And honestly? The aromas coming from these flowers during drying were absolutely ridiculous. Now, to be completely honest and transparent: these were not the densest flowers from the tent. Visually they actually looked denser while still wet than they ended up feeling after drying. But what they lacked slightly in density… they completely compensated for in aroma, terpene expression, flavor potential, resin behavior, and overall personality. And honestly, that trade-off is something many growers happily accept. Because this GMO profile is LOUD. Like… walk-into-a-kitchen loud. Real GMO lovers will understand this instantly. Every trimming session felt like sitting next to a chef smashing fresh garlic cloves directly beside us. Savory. Greasy. Funky. Sharp. Warm. Almost oily-smelling. And hidden underneath all that madness: sweetness, cookie notes, earthiness, and weird creamy undertones slowly revealing themselves as the flowers cured further. This is not a shy cultivar. Not even close. Once the drying process finished, it was finally time to trim. So: gloves on. Trim station ready. Trim bin prepared. Scissors cleaned. Glass jars nearby. Grove Bags prepared. And of course… little self-medication beforehand 😄 Because trimming sessions and cannabis culture somehow always belonged together naturally. The branches were broken down carefully by hand, one by one, and every flower was trimmed individually with patience instead of speed. As always, we used pointed curved trimming scissors. And honestly, they are fantastic for this type of flower structure. Especially with fluffier or more open flowers, curved pointed scissors allow you to: * enter tighter spaces, * remove excess leaf material precisely, * preserve flower structure, * avoid crushing calyxes, * and maintain a more natural-looking final product. Straight scissors work perfectly fine too of course, but for this type of trimming, curved points genuinely feel more comfortable and surgical. And with GMO? You quickly realize precision matters. Because these flowers become sticky almost immediately. The scissors start collecting resin. The gloves become greasy. Finger hash starts forming naturally. And suddenly trimming stops being just “work” and starts becoming part of the experience itself. The first dried branches gave us: 137.1 grams. After trimming and weighing, the flowers were carefully transferred into Grove Bags, with smaller amounts also resting inside glass jars for comparison and monitoring during cure. Then we moved onto the flowers dried on the drying rack. Again: not the densest plant from the tent. And honestly, we believe temperatures played a role there. This cultivar appeared slightly more sensitive to higher temperatures than some of the others around her. Our personal feeling is that she continued pulling significant water during flower development, which likely contributed to the final structure remaining slightly more open once dry weight settled. But despite that? The quality remained absolutely beautiful. Sometimes growers become overly obsessed with density alone. But density is not everything. Aromatic expression, resin quality, effect, smoothness, flavor, and terpene complexity matter just as much — sometimes even more. And this GMO absolutely shines there. The second drying batch landed at: 224.2 grams. Again carefully bagged for preservation. And speaking of preservation: we decided to use Grove Bags for most of the flower storage. Why? Because preserving terpenes matters deeply to us. Especially with a cultivar this expressive. The idea behind Grove Bags is maintaining stable curing conditions while reducing the constant need to burp jars manually. They help regulate humidity exchange while still allowing the flowers to continue stabilizing naturally over time. Of course, glass jars still remain legendary and we still use them too. Honestly? Both methods have their place. And later during cure and smoke review, we will probably compare the differences more deeply. But for now, the priority is simple: protect the terpenes. Protect the medicine. Protect the work. Now let’s talk about something we personally love a lot: the “gold.” Or what many people simply call: kief. During trimming, tiny trichome heads naturally separated and fell through the trim bin screen. And honestly… watching that happen never gets old. At one point we jokingly started “playing the drums” Moroccan style across the trim bin while working, moving material gently across the screen and collecting the resin heads gathering underneath. And the result? Beautiful golden powder. Tiny greasy trichome heads. Pure aromatic dust from the plant itself. Eventually we pressed part of it together gently using finger warmth and pressure, creating a tiny mini temple ball. Small. Dark. Sticky. Greasy. Beautiful. The type of resin that already tells you: “This plant is going to wash beautifully later.” And yes… that curiosity is still alive and stronger than ever. Because despite everything already documented here, we still have: more than 700 grams of fresh frozen flower material waiting patiently inside the freezer. That future report is still coming. And honestly? We are incredibly excited for it. But there is no rush. That material is preserved safely and waiting for the right moment to become: * ice water hash, * solventless resin, * or whatever expression this GMO decides to offer us later. For now, this chapter belongs to drying, trimming, preservation, and preparation. Before ending this report, one more important thing: cleaning. Once trimming was finished and the room slowly emptied, it was time to clean everything thoroughly and prepare the environment for future runs. And honestly, this part matters far more than many growers realize. Between runs we strongly believe in: * deep cleaning, * sanitizing surfaces, * cleaning fans, * sterilizing tools, * removing plant residue, * using UVC if available, * using ionizers or environmental tools carefully, * and resetting the room properly. Because prevention is always easier than fighting problems later. A clean room protects future harvests. And after a run like this? The room deserved a respectful reset. Now next week? Next week we finally move deeper into: * curing, * smoke review, * terpene evolution, * flavor, * effects, * smoothness, * strain review, * and our true thoughts about GMO Cookies after spending months with this cultivar from seed until cure. And honestly… we cannot wait. Before ending, as always: Thank you. To Zamnesia. To F.O.G. To Plagron. To Lumiflora. To Grove Bags. To the platform. To the community. To the growers sharing knowledge. To the hash makers. To the flower lovers. To the silent supporters. To the curious people following this strange garlic-filled adventure 😄 To everyone spending even a few moments here with us. This GMO Cookies run truly was served with extra curiosity. And honestly? That curiosity still hasn’t disappeared yet. 🌱 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

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.

This is Future #1 by Canuk seeds. Obviously i could not get from the original source so i used a middleman. Rockwool cubes never done me dirty yet. The nutrient line I'm using is not listed. I'm sure I'll mention it a few times throughout the diary. Read on and maybe you'll find out.

This week pheno #1 dealt with some moisture issues and nute burn. The white widow stretched 5 or 6 inches this week. While pheno #2 has turned into a very healthy bushy runt.

happy Halloween 🎃 🎃🎃zusammen !! Die Pflanze macht sich gut aber ist nicht mehr viel in der hohe gewachsen und fängt schon an zu blühen sieht ganz lustig aus die topf combo !! die Pflanze ist vielleicht 25 cm groß also ein Zwerg

2nd week of flowering

Visto que el agua de base sale con unos valores muy altos he decido obtar por mezclar el agua de riego con agua destilada mitad/mitad. De esta forma le podré aportar mayor cantidad de nutrientes sin que los valores suban excesivamente. Por otro lado también le añadiré ácido cítrico para bajar el PH. Os presento como voy regando, es un inventillo que hace años hice y sigue dando guerra. Va muy bién para repartir el agua y relentiza el riego haciendo que el agua vaya filtrando mejor por el sustrato. El embudo lleva una malla donde se quedan los restos más grandes y así no se atasquen los abujeros. Alguno dirá que pierde agua pero no es así, el agua que cae fuera es por que no tube punteria al llenar el emudo y casi lo tiro todo fuera. No se puede hacer tres cosas a la vez, soy hombre hehehe. no podia rellenar el embudo, regar y filmar con el movil al mismo tiempo. Y a más el video está reducido a cámara rápida por lo que parece que pierda aun más rápido.

This grow started on October 20, and today is December 26, which puts the plants into Week 9 of the overall cycle. The last defoliation and pruning was done around December 16. After that, I made a conscious decision to stop cutting and stressing the plants. Earlier in veg I definitely over-stressed them — too much training, too many interventions. In hindsight, that slowed things down instead of helping. From this point on, the goal was to let the plants recover, grow freely, and build momentum in order to reach the flowering stage as smoothly and quickly as possible. Lesson learned for future grows: less stress fewer unnecessary cuts more patience Sometimes the hardest part is not touching the plants at all, especially when your hands are itching to train and optimize everything. Week 9 is about recovery, structure, and preparation for flower. Next week marks the start of flowering.

So I made a totally noob mistake. I can't believe I didn't think about how fast the males would spread pollen. I was still trying to figure out which male I wanted to use for selective pollination on a specific branch. So I pulled the males and I'm attempting to collect pollen using a trim tray screen. Its working quite well and I'll make a video with that as well. I'm not even sure if it's viable or if my attempt and mistake of leaving the males too long will work. So anyways I realize now how delicate it is to have males. They start popping fairly quickly. The gelato female is praying hard. Super happy it seems Come check out my YouTube y'all

True sativa loving their structure

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de crecimiento de estas Tropicana poison F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío , las 3 plantas seleccionadas fueron trasplantadas a su maceta definitiva, ya superaron el shock por el trasplante, estas semanas las paremos todas a floración. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 18h de luz, el foco está al 100% de potencia. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

steady as she goes.

1/2/23 she’s doing great I moved a leaf and noticed that she has tan lines. That is amazing. This lights incredible I took the two bottom branches that I usually trim off. I’m glad I didn’t because I got 1.83 ounces and 1.78 ounces wet. This plant has been the best strongest plant I’ve ever grown it’s really nice and it smells great. I’m gonna give the rest of her, maybe another couple weeks it’s just exciting to watch her grow. I’m not in a hurry to harvest. I do partial harvest as I go along. 1/3 I turned the viper spectra XS1500 light down to halfway which is 82.3 W. And the amount of energy still is more than two of my old spider farmer lights. I had no idea how important brand new LEDs are this is just fantastic. I bet I can grow an entire plant for probably 90 W. 1/4 yum yum omg smells gooooooood.. FYI, Just because a Gamorrean pledges their loyalty doesn't mean they wont eat your weed, lesson learned. 1/4 Just smoked some that had been drying for only 2 days. The smell was so strong like no auto I have ever smelled. This is like top shelf photo from the dispensary. I am totally impressed. 1/6 i’m going to set up a new tent. It starts with the power source. It looked really ugly, so I wanted to try something nicer. I got one of the TP Link power strips three individual outlet controls for the smaller tent that I will germinate in my use one to monitor the power of the light and I keep switching them around. It’s really nice to have. 1/8 I’m going to plant some seeds today. It’s Elvis’s birthday. I threw away a liter of Purpinator today. I’ve been having nutrient troubles, and I noticed a little that I had mixed up in a small spray bottle had started to congeale. And after I tried 6 mL of it in a gallon twice I noticed some plant damage. I don’t know if it’s that stuff or not but when I add something new it seems to cause damage. So I will never use that again. it’s taking me a month to set up a small 24 x 24“ tent I don’t know what’s wrong with me so I have two 27“ x 27“ and one 24 x 24“. The small tent will be for photoperiod also for germination, the other two are going to be for autos only. I’ve discovered auto flowers need their own tent and their own space, especially the way I train them. I top them after the 3rd node then wait until a couple weeks into flower and I soften the branches pressing them between my thumb & index finger to keep them limber then spread them out so they kind a look like a giant crab, but they grow up very strong and they don’t need support I was going to go with 5 gallon but I think it would be just too heavy so I’ll stick with 3 gallons. I’ll be starting to gorilla cookies this coming week probably tonight, but I’ll start the diary tomorrow. If you hold the phone up to the TV, it types out the dialogue . I’m gonna d mad max later don’t you wish you were like me easily amused? You get a lot less brains on your wall that way.

11/03 - 2x2 (6 clones) 4x4 (11 clones) - 4x4 trimmed and ready for flip this week - 2x2 being trimmed this week and flipped same time as the 4x4 - Only clean water and carbo flush feeds for this week. Drip line emitter added to the 2x2 with a 5 gallon res - each pot has 2 lines.

BUENOS DÍAS familia , ya es viernes y toca actualizar semana. Las lemon kush empiezan apestar, entramos en la recta final, veremos cómo engordan estas últimas semanas. Hemos bajado la humedad hasta 45% y la temperatura bajo algo también, lo cual tampoco es malo. Aplicaremos algo de PK en polvo para endurecer las flores estas ultimas semanas. Os dejo una serie de fotos y vídeos para que contempléis la evolución de las flores.

Tuesday 30th . Flushing started today.
