GMO Cookies Served with Extra Curiosity ?🍪 Curing & Smoke Review | Loud Garlic, Heavy Nights & The Story Continues And yes… once again 😄 We divided the reports. At this point I honestly think everyone following this diary already expected it. But the truth is simple: there was absolutely no way to properly document this entire journey inside one single update without rushing through details that genuinely deserved time and attention. So before anything else: thank you for following this ride with us. And even though this is technically the “final” smoke review and curing report… it actually is not the end yet. Because somewhere inside the freezer still rests: more than 700 grams of fresh frozen GMO Cookies waiting patiently for washing day. And when that day comes: * the ice, * the bags, * the machine, * the resin, * the separation, * the drying, * the pressing, * the final hash… all of that will absolutely deserve its own dedicated report too. So this is not goodbye. This is simply the end of the flower chapter. Now for the people arriving only now, let’s quickly recap how we got here. This entire GMO Cookies run was grown under a 12/12 from seed cycle from beginning until harvest. The plants were raised under the F.O.G. LED setup with environmental management focused on healthy development, airflow, resin production, and structure while allowing the genetics to express themselves naturally with minimal interruption. From the very beginning, these girls showed personality. Strong structure. Aggressive aroma. Fast resin production. And one very obvious characteristic: GARLIC. Not subtle garlic either. Real GMO garlic. The type of smell that instantly transforms the room atmosphere. During flower the room slowly evolved into this strange combination of: * savory kitchen aromas, * spicy funk, * greasy earthiness, * warm pepper notes, * and hidden sweetness underneath. And even now after curing for somewhere between one and a half to almost two months… it somehow keeps getting louder. Louder. Sharper. Deeper. The sweetness is still there, absolutely. But eventually the garlic takes control over almost everything else. And honestly? For GMO lovers… that is exactly what makes this cultivar beautiful. This is not candy weed. This is not fruity tropical smoothie terps. This is: funk, gas, pepper, savory grease, garlic, earth, and kitchen madness. It smells like a chef lost control inside a restaurant. And people who love GMO genetics will immediately understand exactly what that means 😄 Now, one thing we want to be transparent about: This flower is not dense. And honestly? That part falls mostly on me. The room temperatures during flower were simply slightly higher than what this specific cultivar truly wanted. Since multiple cultivars shared the room simultaneously, it became impossible to perfectly satisfy every plant equally, and this GMO clearly responded by holding a slightly fluffier structure compared to the others. But here is the important part: Density is not everything. Because what this flower lacks slightly in compactness… it completely compensates for in: * aroma, * terpene intensity, * resin quality, * effect, * flavor, * smoothness, * trichome coverage, * and overall personality. And honestly? Sometimes personality matters far more than rock-hard flowers. Especially when the medicine itself feels this enjoyable. During cure, the flowers rested primarily inside Grove Bags, with smaller portions also stored inside glass jars for comparison and monitoring. And surprisingly? Both methods preserved the flower beautifully. The terpene expression remained extremely similar between both storage methods, which honestly tells me one important thing: we hit the drying point correctly. That slow 10-day drying process around: * 60% humidity, * temperatures between 18–20°C, really helped stabilize the flowers before cure without overdrying them or stripping away the volatile compounds too aggressively. And once ground up? This flower becomes absolutely gorgeous. Seriously. The grinder reveals: * greens, * purples, * silver resin, * orange hairs, * greasy trichomes, * and this sparkling dusty texture that almost looks alive under proper light. Even visually, this cultivar feels special. The trichome coverage remained beautiful all the way through cure, and the flower still leaves visible greasy residue almost immediately after handling. And the smoke itself? Oh man… This is heavy medication. Not racey. Not anxious. Not overwhelming mentally. Just deep. Warm. Heavy. Relaxing. This is absolutely the type of cultivar I personally recommend for: * evenings, * late nights, * movie sessions, * gaming, * music, * stress release, * appetite stimulation, * body relaxation, * or simply ending the day peacefully. You feel it strongly in the body. The muscles soften. The shoulders drop. The body becomes heavier. And slowly the mind follows. Not in a chaotic way. Not paranoia. Not panic. Not confusion. Just: “Okay… the day is over now.” That type of effect. And honestly? I really enjoy that. The flavor follows the aroma beautifully too. Garlic dominates the experience heavily, but underneath there are: * spicy pepper notes, * savory warmth, * earthy funk, * slight sweetness, * and that strange greasy cookie profile GMO lovers chase so much. It lingers in the mouth too. Long after exhaling. And yes… the joints absolutely develop beautiful oil rings while burning. Slow greasy rings forming around the cherry exactly the way many resin lovers appreciate seeing. The ash burns clean. The smoke remains surprisingly smooth considering how aggressive the terpene profile actually is. And the appetite stimulation? Very real 😄 This thing absolutely activates the kitchen instincts. Now let’s talk numbers. The dried and properly prepared flower totals landed at: * 137.1g + 52.8g from the first dried branches * 224.2g from the drying rack flowers bringing the dry flower total to: 414.1 grams of cured GMO Cookies flower ready for consumption. And beyond that: there still remains over 700 grams of fresh frozen material waiting for future solventless work. Which honestly might become one of the most exciting chapters yet. Because the resin behavior from this cultivar already tells us something special is waiting there. Even the tiny amounts of hand-collected resin and trim-bin sift already produced: * dark greasy resin, * sticky temple balls, * oily texture, * and incredible aroma concentration. So expectations for the future wash are definitely very high. And before ending this final flower report, I wanted to include a few of the live-plant focus stacks and photographs again too. Not because they were necessary. But because honestly… this plant deserved it. Some flowers simply leave an impression. And this GMO Cookies genuinely did. From seed until cure, this cultivar remained fascinating: * visually, * aromatically, * structurally, * medicinally, * and photographically. Even now looking back at the live flower photographs still feels special. And before closing this chapter properly: Thank you. To Zamnesia. To F.O.G. To Plagron. To Human Pro. To Mammoth. To Grove Bags. To the platform. To the community. To the growers. To the hash makers. To the curious people following these long reports 😄 To everyone who spent even a few moments here with us throughout this journey. Cannabis truly is sacred to many of us. Not only as medicine. Not only as a hobby. But as culture, craft, ritual, community, and connection. And sharing these moments together honestly means a lot. So while this may be the final flower report for this GMO Cookies run… the story still is not fully finished yet. Because one day soon: the freezer opens. The ice melts. The resin separates. And this beautiful garlic monster returns one final time in hash form. 🌱

Right then 7 weeks of flower complete. I'll dive right in to the juicy bits as this week has been predominantly about deciding weather to chop or keep one of my girls going. In the end I chose to do both! As the photos and videos show the plant wasn't recovering so I checked the trichomes and it was actually pretty ripe. A few Amber's on the upper buds. Lowers still undeveloped so I decided to take the biggest and leave the smallest for another week or while ever the plant is healthy. I estimate I've taken around 7oz once dry. Depending how they swell up I'm hoping for a further 5oz of solid bag worthy nugs. Looking nice and frosty, smell is that typical sweet haze with some sour diesel/fruit kick in there. You can see how the photos progress my hands getting covered in resin. Got to give my other 3 some love as they are getting healthier and fatter. I'm thinking another week on one of them and 2 on the others. I'll more than likely stagger the harvest like tonight if it proves worth while. I will update mid week.

05/03/22: Installed the industrial strength dehumidifier to keep the pesky humidity down - defoliated again to allow even light spread. lots of colas forming nicely - some brown pistils on certain plants aswell - plants should stop getting taller now and focus purely on bud production. trichomes are starting to appear on the sugar leaves and is starting to smell strong.

Day 33 Update Wow!! So for the first time I have opened up GROWDIARIES on a computer, and I must say this is a much better layout and easier to use than my cell phone. I will be doing updates like this from now on. So with the help from @DabCrab I finally came up with a nutrient schedule that I will stick to. I have honestly been all over the place when feeding and it was time for a change, so this will start next feed. I also have decided to switch my light cycle to a 12-12 to determine gender of plants, and will revert back to veg cycle once what ever males are pulled out of the room. I plan on vegging for a very long time, have not decided on how many weeks. I guess however long it takes to fill up the scrog net that I made. I will make the light switch at the start of week 6. Merry Christmas from my family to yours! Stay safe, stoned, and happy

this cultivar does not like to be bent at all. Starting to show those colours too. This one needs to be LST at a very early stage and it likes to stiffen up like an old school sativa, gets real brittle. Going to start foliar sprays with silica because they help tighten up node spacing, and I know this plant also has longer node spacing typical to landrace sativa cultivars.

Die ersten 3 sind gefallen. 2 sind noch übrig. Das Nassgewicht der 3 Pflanzen war sehr unterschiedlich, aber insgesamt wirklich sehr, sehr schwer. Die Box wurde jetzt mit einem Raumteiler in Trockenkammer und Blühkammer geteilt. Die kleine Pflanze wurde jetzt auch gespült und wird demnächst auch gefällt. Die große bekommt jetzt erst ihre ersten braunen Härchen.

29.03.21 hab heute die ersten weissen terpene entdecken können vorblüte is in gange. Biegen und binden wird immer mehr stand heut fast eine Stunde vorm Zelt bis ich einigermaßen mit der Positionierung zufrieden war. Ist ein ziemliches wuchs monster bis zu 5 cm am Tag die jeden neuen Tag runter gebogen werden wollen mal schauen was Woche Nr.2 so bringt..... 30.03.21 biegen und binden ich werd irre davon...... 32.01.21 hab heut wieder Luft unterm Netz gemacht hier und da Blätter entfernt Ach ja und nicht zu vergessen der biegen und binden horror.... 01.04.21 hab mir heute weichen pflanzen Draht besorgt um die einzelnen Seiten und Hauptbestände besser fixieren zu können damit sie auch da bleiben wo ich sie haben will die Pflanze wächst ziemlich rasant ich Weiss langsam garnicht mehr wohin mit den ganzen Ästen. Hab mich heute dazu entschieden kein Vita race mehr zu Sprühen obwohl laut Hersteller bis Ende der dritten blüte Woche 1x wöchentlich gesprüht werden kann, hab Schiss mir die Blüten Geschmacks massig zu versauen...... 02.04.21 das Wachstum ist enorm Habe heute 2 1/2h Arbeit investiert in biegen und binden. Ich hoffe das sich die ganze Arbeit am Ende lohnt und ich mit schönen klebrigen nuggetz belohnt werde... 03.04.21 hab heute das ganze einfach mal laufen lassen wollte eigendlich heute giessen da die Ladys gut durstig sind hab aber heute verpennt und dann noch der ganze feiertags Kram hab somit das Gießen auf morgen verschoben die Ladys werden es sicher überleben..... 04.03.21 hab heute ein bißchen die Blätter unters netzt gebogen und gegossen sieht gut aus soweit bin zufrieden für die 2te Woche....

Disaster! I haven’t been able to see the plants for almost 3 weeks after catching Covid. This one looks like it hasn’t faired too well but we don’t give up. I had someone watering the plants for me but no nutrients. I’m guessing that’s why she’s crisped up so much. We will see, I’m back now and she’ll be getting some nutes on the regular. Fingers crossed we can get some nice bud.

Started flushing however acting on more experienced advice going to refeed and continue bloom for a while longer. Buds are really solid compared to previous grows. Really excited to do final weigh in at the end of this grow and only want to beat my personal best for weight. Hope the 5 days of flushing didn't hurt her too much as leaves have become a little brittle from over watering.
