4th week of Flower is over. Observing some darkening on the tips of the Yellow Orange. Checked ph of the soil and my nutrient plan again. They seem to be fine. My guess is that it is either some sort of light stress or just a genetic trait. I slightly increased the height of the light. I would hardly believe that it is a day-night temperature difference effect. Let’s see how it goes in the coming weeks. Target VPD is still set to 1,5 with 24 Celcius Target Temp.

🌱 GMO Cookies — Week 3 VEG Report (12/12 from seed | Autoflower behaving in sync with photoperiods) General Overview Week 3 of vegetative growth comes to a close with GMO Cookies performing exceptionally well. Just like the other autoflowers in the room, she continues to behave in a way that closely mirrors the photoperiod plants — steady, structured, and rhythmically aligned with the rest of the genetics in the tent. Despite the diversity of cultivars running side by side, all plants are maintaining very similar height, pace, and development, each expressing itself slightly differently but moving forward together. This consistency speaks volumes about both the genetics and the stability of the environment. Growth & Structure • Vegetative stage: Ongoing • Flowering signs: None observed • Node count: 6 nodes • Growth habit: Compact, controlled, well-balanced • Leaf expression: • Lush, deep green • Broad, healthy leaflets • Excellent turgor and texture Growth this week can only be described as spectacular. Internodal spacing remains tight, structure is clean, and the plant shows no signs of stress, deficiency, or imbalance. Autoflower vs Photoperiod Behavior Even though GMO Cookies is an autoflower and has been run 12/12 from seed, she continues to challenge expectations. At this point, it’s still difficult to clearly distinguish behavioral differences between autos and photoperiods in this room. Everything is moving: • At the same rhythm • At the same pace • Under the same conditions This reinforces an important observation: environmental consistency often outweighs genetic labels, especially early on. ⸻ 📸 Photo Session & Documentation This week, GMO Cookies was briefly removed for a dedicated photo session using an improvised studio setup. Photography setup highlights: • Sony A6700 camera • iPad used as a remote control and live viewer • Controlled backlighting for leaf detail and depth • Full camera control (aperture, ISO, settings) without touching the camera This approach eliminates camera shake and allows for precise adjustments on the fly — crucial for capturing clean, sharp images, especially when documenting fine leaf texture and color. Since these images are being shared publicly, it felt important to be transparent about the process behind them. ⸻ Environment — Room Conditions (Week 3) • Photoperiod: 12/12 from seed • Day temperature: ~26 °C • Night temperature: ~18 °C • Relative Humidity: 60–65% • Airflow: Gentle, constant, non-stressful • Solution temperature: ~21 °C • Substrate temperature: ~21 °C Everything remains stable and dialed in, allowing the plants to focus fully on root and vegetative development. ⸻ 💡 Lighting • PPFD: ~600–700 (adjusted to plant size) • Plants continue to grow into the light naturally, with no stretch or light stress observed. • Incremental increases are proving effective and well-tolerated. ⸻ 💧 Watering & Nutrition • pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.0 Nutrient program: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal Foliar: • Vita Race • Applied selectively and intentionally, not on a rigid schedule This combination continues to support strong root activity, clean metabolism, and vibrant vegetative growth. ⸻ 🔍 What to Expect / What Not to Expect (Week 4) What to expect: • Continued vegetative expansion • Further node stacking • Increasing leaf mass and photosynthetic capacity What not to expect (yet): • No flowering initiation • No sudden stretch • No need to push inputs or change rhythm Patience remains key. The plant is clearly still building its foundation. ⸻ Final Thoughts Week 3 confirms that GMO Cookies is happy, stable, and well-adapted to this setup. There is no rush, no force, and no correction needed — just observation and consistency. Same rhythm. Same environment. Same respect for the process.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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 A6700 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.

Day 17 - I started to feed everything from the dutchpro chart which as someone on here pointed put may not have been a good thing to do since my soil already had nutrients. Day 18 - The plant leaf looked like it curled backwards so i posted a question to find out what i was doing wrong. There could be a few different reason for it; but one i thought made a difference was the nutrients because the soil i got is high in nutriets for seedlings and after 1 week i started to add nutrients. Day 19 - I been a little worried that my plant is not growing it, so i will be measuring it every 3 or so days. Day 20 - The light that i had was a full spectrum led and now i changed it to a normal 60w led bulb i hope this helps the growth. Day 21 - I Changed the lights back to the blue ones as it was advised better.

Thanks for all of your replies to my questions. I will be slowly upping the bloombastic 0.1ml every other feed until we get to 1ml. 3rd July. I done a light defoliate around the base of the plant, a few small bud sites removed that were tiny and 6/7 leaves that were dieing from the bottom to free up space around the soil. Day 44, lowered nutrition to nearly half.

Hey everyone! Welcome to our second grow journal! We're growing the same strains as in the first journal, but this time, we plan to only top the plants. They're in 18-liter pots, and you'll be able to follow their progress here as well. These plants are 20 days younger than the ones in the first grow, so it'll be interesting to compare their development. Stay tuned for updates!

Such a great week watching these ladies bulk up! It's looking like the gorilla zkittles won't get a full week on its current food schedule before I start it on its winter frost and flushing. The Red diesel and Phantom will probably take another two weeks on there food schedule. Happy growing people! I wish I would've started this grow sooner, then I wouldn't of ran out of stash during this quarantine!

Super Mobydick, saindo do vegetativo e entrando na primeira semana de floração,muito grande e robusta,será uma planta com flores grandes e gordas. SUPER MOBY DICK - LATITUD SUR SEEDS.

Both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants are filling up more and the first pistils start to get brown, which shows the plants start to ripen and go towards harvest time. The smell they exude is STRONG now and VERY PLEASANT. The aroma is sweet, peachy with sandalwood undertones and is MOUTH-WATERING. The plants are TRICHOME MONSTERS and are covered in crystals, any little touch and your fingers stay sticky for hours.

🗓️ Week 8 Flower, week 14 total 🍊 🍪🌲 Mandarin Cookies #2 (back right) is finishing up. MC #1 (back left) & MC #3 (Center) still have probably another solid week to fatten up. All MC’s are on a diet of water only, PH 6.2 🥈🥦 Silver Kush #1 (front left) has a solid week left. SK #2 (front right) is pretty far behind. I’ll probably just cut #2 down and dry it where it’s at, when I cut SK #1. I can’t postpone my next grow just to let the small one get a few more grams. More than likely it’ll all go in the bubble bags. I hope to have them all cut and drying by next week. ✂️ 🌲 💧 🗓️ Feeding schedule for S.K. since MCs are water only: 1 gallon water/nutes per 2 plants every other day PH 6.2 MC’s are on water only Flush. PH 6.2 ⛏️ Soil: (1.5 C.F.) Fox Farm Ocean Forest, mixed with (1.5 C.F.) garden soil, fills (5) 5 galllon fabric pots perfectly. (50/50 mix.) 💡 Again, The new version of Spider Farmer SF-4000 is an awesome light, for anyone wondering. Can’t say enough good things about this light! This is my first LED and it seems to be doing fantastic. (The pictures: I re added the overall and video from last week, day 6. It was the final minutes before the light shut off. So pretty close to day 1, week 8...)

I just cleaned the roots and I'm waiting until it's dry to chop her down, I love the smell and the compact nuggets that she has,it's just a very nice genetic to grow.

I thought, i posted last week, but it seems like I did not click the save button, but luckily I did not delete last week’s images and videos, so I posted them and with the latest images and videos. I am honoured to be growing this strain, because my first attempt was gorilla glue but I lost it when I moved back to jozi from Limpopo… but here I am getting another stab at it, though it’s not GG#4, strains that contain the gorilla gene seem to be high THC strain, I am expecting couch potatoe high.

Well I was able to LST these girls quickly and they responded very well. So new SOP is to LST and then apply Raw aloe vera juice and the plants will explode. Will be flopping them to flower very soon.

Mi experiencia con esta variedad, fue realmente buena. una semilla con mucho vigor, muy resistente a plagas, y con sabores y olores exquisitos

Smooth trim, last of the first wave of autos this summer - yields are very low but the bud looks great :)

Bueno resumiendo cookies gelato es una variedad híbrida muy fácil de cultivar pero ojo, cuidado con los últimos riegos si no queréis perder cosecha por moho. Lo demás de 10 pegada heavy sabor increíble, cogollos duros como rocas y bañados de una gran capa de polen. El ambiente del secado se mantuvo en 23 grados de media y la humedad estuvo por debajo de los 45% en todo momento. Poco más la verdad estuve encantado de poder cultivar una genética tan potente . Un saludazo que paséis un final de año increíble y por supuesto buenos humazooos💨💨💨.

Heute um gepflanzt gab keine Probleme soweit, bin weiterhin gespannt wie sich anesia Seeds schlägt👌😁 Aber 100 von 100 keimqoute is schon mal bestens 👌😊 Diesmal 12 Pflanzen weniger mehr Platz und neue aufstellung mal sehen ob es am Ertrag was macht. 😊 Erde is Biobizz all mix also kein Dünger! Planted today there were no problems so far, I'm still curious how anesia Seeds will do👌😁 But 100 out of 100 germ rate is great 👌😊 This time 12 less plants more space and new setup let's see if it does anything to the yield. 😊 Soil is Biobizz all mix so no fertilizer!

Lovely week 17
