GMO Cookies — Week 11 (Flower) “Served with Extra Curiosity” This week wasn’t about doing more. It was about seeing more. And sometimes… that changes everything. ⸻ 🔬 Photo Stacking — What it is & why now This update goes deeper than usual. We explored focus stacking (photo stacking) — a technique where multiple images, each focused at a different depth, are merged into one ultra-detailed image. * 20–25 frames → standard macro depth * 80–100+ → high detail * 200+ frames → extreme resolution, full structure visibility Why now? Because this is the phase where: ➡️ Structure is set ➡️ Growth slows down ➡️ Detail becomes everything There’s less to do… and more to observe, understand, and appreciate. We’re no longer just growing. We’re studying. ⸻ 🌱 Quick Recap — How did we get here 12/12 from seed. No traditional veg phase. Plants shaped themselves under flowering conditions from day one. What we see now is the result of: * Early root establishment * Stable environment * Consistent feeding * Minimal interference No chasing. No forcing. Just letting the plant express. ⸻ 🌿 The Room — Stability over control Conditions remain intentionally consistent: * Temp: ~26°C day / 18°C night * RH: ~60% * pH: ~6.5 * EC: ~2.0 * CO₂: ~1000 ppm Everything is guided by plant feedback (leaf EPD) — not by rigid charts. At this stage, stability matters more than perfection. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition — Supporting, not pushing Current feeding: * Terra Bloom * Pure Zym * Sugar Royal * Power Buds * Green Sensation * CalMag Pro Balanced, consistent, predictable. We’re not trying to “boost” anymore — we’re maintaining the conditions for proper finishing. ⸻ ❄️ Trichomes — The real story This is where the stacking work pays off. With the naked eye, we see frost. With macro stacking, we see architecture. * Trichome heads forming and swelling * Density across sugar leaves and calyxes * Early signs of maturity variation within the same bud Not all trichomes develop at the same speed — and now we can actually see that clearly. This is where observation becomes knowledge. ⸻ 🌸 Bud Development & Stacking The plants are doing exactly what they should now: * Vertical growth has stopped * Bud stacking continues steadily * Density increasing day by day No explosive changes — just refinement and consolidation. This is the quiet phase… but it’s one of the most important ones. ⸻ 🎥 Studio Work & Branch Sacrifice We took a branch to the studio for detailed work. Was it a sacrifice? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. That branch gave us: * High-level macro insight * Controlled lighting shots * Focus-stacked visuals that reveal what’s usually hidden Sometimes, giving a little… gives a lot back. ⸻ 🧠 Why macro now? Because this is the phase where: ➡️ Doing less = doing more ➡️ Interference can do more harm than good ➡️ Observation becomes the main tool Macro photography allows us to: * Study ripening progression * Understand resin development * Train the eye for future harvest timing It’s not just content. It’s education. ⸻ 🔮 What to expect next week * Continued trichome swelling * Increased bud density * More visible ripening signals (pistil changes, trichome shifts) * Subtle but important daily progress We’re entering the decision-making window soon. ⸻ ⚠️ What NOT to expect * No more vertical growth * No drastic structural changes * No need for heavy intervention At this point, less input = better outcome. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words To everyone walking this journey with us: * The OGs who’ve been here since day one * The new eyes just discovering the process * The skeptics — always part of the balance * The silent supporters * The platform hosting this space * The sponsors and partners * The genetics behind these expressions And the plants themselves… This week wasn’t about growing bigger. It was about seeing deeper.

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 57. Nutes increased for more growth hopefully. Day 58 notice alot what looks like thc from leaves and hairs. Day 59 to 63 see more orange hairs and trychomes. See videos Average 200ml water everyday.

Excellent

11/05: another week on autopilot. They look like they could use a slight defoliation, but i haven't had a chance to get in there and do it. Will get it taken care of sometime this week. There has been a noticeable growth in flowers this week. No signs of any purple outside of some stems. These look and smell exactly like OG Kush. And that is not what i was expecting at all. I am personally not a fan of OG Kush and so I am really hoping for some significant changes over the next few weeks. If i were growing OG Kush, i would be thrilled with the results. They are growing plump quickly and getting insanely frosty very early - also something that all the OG Kush i have grown does. Alas I am not growing OG Kush, these are what FastBuds told me were Purple Lemonade, and based on all of their marketing material, this is not what I should be seeing or smelling. And im unhappy about that.

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"

Test FBA 2503 – 42Fast Buds 68 days from seed — and we’ve reached the final stage: harvest time! Although the plant didn’t grow very big, it truly impressed us — the buds are dense, large (as big as a fist!), and absolutely drenched in sticky resin. The pinkish hue of the buds gives this beauty an extra touch of elegance — she looks stunning! But the most striking thing is the smell. It’s incredibly strong, sharp, and long-lasting. Our girl has a seriously intense chemical scent — it fills the entire grow tent instantly and lingers for hours. Not for the faint of heart! From the beginning, we focused on giving her everything she needed: a well-balanced substrate, a stable environment, and, of course, proper nutrition. Huge thanks to Xpert Nutrients for their powerful line of fertilizers — they played a key role in helping this plant reach its full potential, delivering impressive trichome production, vibrant colors, and strong structure. And special thanks to 42Fast Buds for the opportunity to test this unique and powerful autoflower — it’s been an amazing experience! Harvest results coming soon — stay tuned!

Plants are cruising through and stacking nicely. Brewed & fed flowering tea recipe & plants responded with some smell starting to feel up my tent. Blue Cheese definitely has some funky cheesy & earthy aroma. Afghan kush smell is the most exciting to smell these days as its aroma is something akin to a perfume. Can't wait to see what the rest of this week looks like.

Time for second Topping in the middle of the week. Light Power: 60% Day 28 Photoshooting Topping Day 30 Photoshooting

Has been a great plant to grow. Has amazing flavor and appeal. I love strawberry flavored bud. Was a first grow for advanced seeds strain. Curious to try others. Thanks again for likes, follows, and subscriptions on my YouTube. Support is great appreciated. Be safe and happy growing

Day 69 of flower (i know, video says 67) and what a weird time to shoot out nanners. There have been zero light leaks, and no kther plant in the garden has a nanner, leading me to beleive it is not a stress induced occurrence. No other flower on the plant contains a nanner. I will collect the pollen, and i will allow the polyploid cola to see itself aturally to harvest some S1's. These will be grown out and if i get another polyploid, the gene will be backcrossed to add to my lifelong catalogue. Thanks for looking, hit me up with advice, input please

:)

the plant is fine and has a strong cheese-like smell, it is growing and like all the crosses that were made with the inverted cutting of domina tangy

Not much for change this week. I think she is getting over the shock of the defoliation, lollipopping, and moving her back indoors all at the same time. As time is not of the essence, I'm only looking to get some good healthy buds from this plant. Also, she's my last grow for the year because it will be too cold to grow after this.

alright, how y'all doing? this week I did defoliated both plants, for the last time, I hope. The Rd started to flowering few days earlier, and the SS on the other hand, is very small in size, I confess when defoliating the next day it looked I didn't do lol. 😵, but yeah I noticed the plants now are going int flowering so no more defoliation for now.. SS its showing it gender but still very shy 😜, I keep telling her, hey, don't be shy be like your friend right there all showing off.. 😇. alright.. feeding schedule.. I was doing some research and couldn't find much at all about mixing different types of fertilisers brand... so I got this advanced nuts ( carlbooad was sent cause they ran out of bud candy but in the website it was available nd on the email I said to send me the big bud then but whatever.. 😕.. I did made a mistake with the nirvana. ( the bottle says> 2 ml/l during all grow fase and during weeks 3 till6 of blooming. ( on the website doing some research found only tu use during weeks 3 till 6 on bloom.)) so with that said I just used as the bottle said, and it was too late, I mean when I realised I had done it already, some lets hope and prays for the best kkkk.... so for the next feeding this week I won't add nirvana yet..will wait 2 more weeks and then put back inside 😆. so. I guess its all for today. let me know ur comments below and suggestions, if had the experience mixing different fertiliser and etc.. even if it was a bad experience pls comment.. thanks y'all c u next week... 👊

D64. We're at the start of the fourth week of flower, and today was a busy day. First, I had to remove the old lights before swapping in the light from my auto tent. All while trying to avoid trashing the plants in the way too full tent. Not an easy task. The entire mission, with changing the light in the auto tent as well, took a couple of hours. I wish I could keep the Greenception lights in the tent as they're high-quality lights, but the Kingbrite has a much lower profile and thus takes up much less space. Space that I desperately need considering how insanely much these girls stretched. One of the tops on the second girl has unfortunately already been bunt by being too close to the light, and I'm sure I will run into light bleaching and probably foxtailing as the grow progress, but I hope I will be able to pull it off with the Kingbrite light. I also added some wire support to the branches that I super-cropped, as they looked somewhat sad after all the abuse to the canopy while swapping the lights. ------------------------------ D66. It looks like the girls have FINALLY stopped stretching. Phew! Yesterday, I gave each girl 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.2 with humic acid and EM-1. Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) arrived, and I dispersed them in the tent to deal with the thrips. ------------------------------ D68. All is well in the tent, but now when the thrips are (hopefully) under control, it's time to address the VPD. It has gotten seriously out of wack due to dropping temps, plus I increased the humidity to make the environment more inhospitable for the thrips. The temps were low due to the light change as the new one is running a lot cooler, but the temps have also dropped outside. The heating in the lungroom has been off until now, so I turned that on and lowered the humidity threshold on my exhaust fan. Finally, I put my small humidifier in the tent, generating extra heat and decreasing the humidity. So far, the VPD has increased from a terrible 0.4-0.5 to an acceptable 0.9, and I'm hoping it will increase further as the ambient RH drops as we move into winter. ------------------------------ D70. We're at the end of the fourth week of flower, and all is well in the tent. The VPD has gone up to 1.0, which is a nice improvement to what it was only a couple of days ago. I haven't scouted yet for thrips, but I will give the lacewings a couple of days to do their thing and then look closer. However, I went to WAR against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead. The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive. ------------------------------

Seeds broke surface 8/3/26

Dia 134 y semana 6 de floración,ultimo dia de vida de las plantas. Este año ha sido un poco raro las plantas han crecido como monstruos tuvieron un crecimiento espectacular un tallo muy grande y junto con sus ramas flexibles y muy resistentes. Pero al llegar el engorde de floración no se porque les falto el empujon final para hinchar el cogollo, tiene muy buena pinta , mucha resina y muy fuerte buen olor pero me esperaba mas en la fase final. Cortamos ya que tambien habian orugas y no terminaba de eliminarlas por completo, la semana que viene era entera de lluvias así que decidi cortar un poco mas temprano para poder prevenir cualquier mal mayor, hay mucha gente que le gusta cortar antes de tiempo ya que el efecto es muy diferente, este año probaremos que tal.

Great week...pistols are turning, buds are fattening, what else can a guy ask for.
