The harvest is coming soon also for Strawberry Gorilla and Orange Sherbet, news this week the strawberry pie has grown, who knows if it will make buds full of resin or seeds, maybe both? We will see! the story continues...

Cosmic Noodles Auto — Final Strain Review 14 Weeks From Seed To Harvest — 12/12 From Seed What a ride this one has been. Our Cosmic Noodles Auto officially comes to an end after 14 weeks from seed to harvest, grown fully under a 12/12 light cycle from day one, side by side with photoperiods and other autoflower genetics inside the 8x8 tent — no special treatment, no isolated environment, no extended light schedules. And honestly? She absolutely crushed expectations. This entire run was another reminder that autoflowers do not necessarily need 18/6 or 24/0 to produce beautiful flowers and respectable yields. With proper environment, stable feeding, patience, and healthy roots, they can still thrive and deliver excellent results even under a no-veg approach like this one. We started this project with three plants. One of them unfortunately became part of an overwatering experiment that eventually led to losing the plant around early-to-mid flower. While painful, it became an important educational moment. We documented the process honestly so growers could learn from it — what overwatering looks like, how roots respond, and what to avoid. If anyone is interested, those reports are still available further back in the diary. The remaining two plants, however, grew with very little resistance. Easygoing, vigorous, resilient, and surprisingly adaptable considering the mixed environment and unconventional schedule. And in the end? 372.1 grams dry from the two harvested plants. For autoflowers grown under 12/12 from seed, mixed together with photoperiods, we are genuinely very happy with these numbers. But beyond numbers, what truly stood out was the quality. ⸻ Drying Process After harvest, the plants were dried whole for approximately 10 days. The environment stayed around: * ~20°C * ~60% RH During the first couple of days, humidity was intentionally kept closer to ~45% to help remove the initial excess surface moisture from the flowers before stabilizing the drying curve more gently afterward. The slow dry helped preserve aroma, resin texture, and overall flower integrity beautifully. And the smell coming from the drying room… incredible. ⸻ Hand Trimming — Slow, Sticky & Worth It Once drying was complete, every flower was separated and hand-trimmed carefully using the Zamnesia scissors together with the Trim Bin setup. Hand trimming takes time. A lot of time. But it also allows a level of precision and care that machine trimming simply cannot replicate. Every bud gets individual attention. Resin heads stay more protected. Structure remains more natural. And honestly, it becomes part of the ritual itself. Our fingers were absolutely coated in resin by the end of it. Sticky gloves. Sticky scissors. Sticky everything. The Trim Bin itself collected a beautiful layer of golden dry sift during the process, and naturally, none of that went to waste. Everything was collected carefully and stored cold for future enjoyment. Even the smallest parts of the harvest deserve respect. ⸻ Curing — The Part Many People Rush After trimming, the flowers were placed into Grove Bags for curing. For larger harvests especially, these bags are honestly an amazing tool. The TerpLoc technology helps maintain the internal humidity in the ideal curing range of approximately 58–62%, reducing the need for constant burping while helping protect the flowers from excessive moisture swings. This matters because curing is not simply “storing weed.” Curing is the process where the flowers slowly stabilize and mature internally: * chlorophyll continues breaking down * harshness reduces * aromas become cleaner and deeper * terpenes settle and express themselves better * smoke quality improves significantly This is why we usually prefer allowing at least one month of curing minimum, while many flowers continue improving for two or even three months depending on the cultivar and storage conditions. Patience changes the experience dramatically. And Cosmic Noodles definitely rewarded patience. ⸻ Aroma & Smoke Even straight off the trim, the first smoke test was already extremely enjoyable. The dominant profile came through as: * citrus * floral notes * earthy depth * creamy herbal background As curing progressed, the profile did not change dramatically — it simply became more refined, cleaner, smoother, and more layered. The smoke itself leans toward the relaxing side. Comfortable, calming, peaceful. Not a “race your brain” type of cultivar, but more something to slow down with and enjoy properly. A dedicated smoke review will eventually come separately, but first impressions are honestly fantastic. ⸻ The Final Flowers The cured flowers developed beautifully over time. Dense but still natural. Resin-rich without looking artificially swollen. Strong aroma retention. Sticky interiors. Frosty surfaces. And some truly beautiful structure throughout the harvest. We are also sharing photos of the cured flowers after roughly one and a half months of curing so people can see how the flowers evolved after resting properly. Because sometimes the real magic happens after harvest. ⸻ Final Thoughts Cosmic Noodles Auto turned out to be: * easy to grow * adaptable * resilient * productive * aromatic * enjoyable from start to finish And most importantly: fun. No drama. No impossible feeding requirements. No extreme sensitivity. Just a solid cultivar capable of producing beautiful medicine even under unconventional conditions like 12/12 from seed. For us, this one easily earns: ⭐ 10/10 ⭐ ⸻ Thank You Huge thanks to everybody involved in this journey: * the breeders and genetics teams * the companies providing gear and support * the platforms that allow us to document these grows * the communities following along * the OG followers who have been here since the beginning * the new people just discovering the diary now * the supporters * the skeptics * the silent viewers * even the haters stopping by for five seconds Love is still sent your way. And of course… special thanks to Mr. Baggy for accompanying us through the cure once again. 🍃 Because in the end, this was never only about chasing numbers. It was about learning, documenting, improving, sharing experiences, and appreciating the process from seed to final smoke. From grower to growers — much love. 🌱 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Semana 10 desde semillas y este es el avance de esta hermosa. Sus tricomas van madurando y su olor penetra en cada rincón de mi casa 😅, Ha pasado un poco de frío, pero gracias a la buena alimentación que mantiene, solo ya contribuido a que se agregue colores hermosos en sus hojas. Hasta ahora estoy conforme, comenzaré con el lavado de raíz porque creo que ya estoy un poco tarde . Es todo por ahora BUENOS HUMOS! 👽

Harvest time, both divine storm ladies did amazing under the Mars-Hydro TSW2000. Pheno 1 was an absolute monster! Huge dense buds!! Pheno 2, while the runt of the grow, also produced impressive buds. Will update in 7-10 days with weight and initial smoke report. Update - April 16 - dry weight of 47 grams on DS2 and 77 grams on DS1. Results are close to round 1 grow, very impressed with the TSW2000 light!

Harvest day for Grand Daddy Purple Auto! I did a wet trim & that really exposed her bud structure & Wow she is just a beauty! Definitely a great genetic. Her buds are heavy, dense and frosty. Purple beast! Hope my pictures do her justice. Super happy with one!!!! I'll update again after drying.😁😎😋

Noticed some yellowing on a few leaves, likely due to a nutrient block or overwatering. I think it's a nutrient issue, maybe a lockout, preventing the plants from absorbing nutrients properly. I’ll check the pH and runoff tomorrow to make sure everything’s in balance. Also, I might be overwatering a bit, so I’ll make sure the soil dries out more between feeds. Hopefully, that’ll help correct it. EC at ~1,6.

This week been quite busy. I had to be very careful to my bending clips, because I had left them too long on some branches and they were very hard to take off without breaking everything. It was very stressy for everyone in this story...but i manager to limit the damages and took off all of them. The final result is not bad, i think they are having a good shape, even if it is still quite a job to maintain all those branches They are very strong, and making nice big leaves. I had to defoliate them, but i don't want to do it too much, not so easy to judge. They are now flowering and look healthy, will increase a bit their cocktail this next week. I've started to give them 4 hours of night time this week, will see if that got an effect. Feel free to let me know what u think about it.

Clone for harvest next week!!

Since the internode spacing is getting smaller, I finished the scrogging in the middle of the week. The stretch is strong, but I think it's over. The plant gives off a pleasant tropical scent. Light Power: 80% Day 65 Flower #14 Photoshooting

119 days!!!! As far as I know, the girl is experiencing a real summer!!!! +35 :) not a cloud, the only pity is that there is little sun on the balcony anyway:) but I'm glad that the weather has improved, and she no longer has to suffer in the rain, and I'm on vacation:) good luck to everyone.:)

Day 22 of Flower! Did as much lollipopping as I can in a Days work.. will continue through the next 2 days to touch and clean up the bottom of the canopy. After that..no touching the plants..will let them slide through flowering with just feeds.

I didn't get that much yield and the buds were too fluffy do I decide to use all the buds and trim to do bubble hash, I really enjoyed the entire process.

This weeks going great, bud development is really picking up and so is the aroma that quickly hits you the second you open the tent, I'd say this strain smells very different to most other strains ive grown, this pheno has a super sweet smell with a slight diesel undertone that almost stings your eyes. No issues other than I have had to move the light up a few inches due to bleaching.

everything looking good so far, plants are quite healthy check www.sr-organics.com and get a 10% discount on this great 5in1 fertilizer with "UNKRAUT10"
