Week 11, flowering week 1 Controlling the runoff, no BIO 8-2-2 needed, only using some RootBooster and the AllZymes. This week the jungle drums started playing. Plants are starting to use more water, drinking like maniacs, the green machine switched to a higher gear. The growth rate of the week have catch up a bit of the delay. All the problems at the beginning of the growth have been fixed, definitely making this diary my How-to-fix-problems diary of the year 😄 I just need to keep an eye on the plants, the lights, the EC of the soil, and readjust following plants need. (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

Great growth and , I really picked at the lady’s this week and crazy hydroponic store visit.. was a memorable start of the week . But yeah these advanced nutrients are really expensive and they do a great job just thinking bout switching back to hg and emerald harvest.. but other details this week is that they like the lollipop and de leafing. last day de leafing will be Monday morning . At the middle of the 3 week but to me more like beginning of week three cause I don’t count the first week in flower but yeah looking good great growth and I they smell pretty freaking good

Days 35-42 (Day 36) Some minor problems starting to arise here. A few times this week it got up to 90+ degrees which I think may have caused a bit of heat stress in some of the plants. I’m seeing a bit of cupping/crinkles on some of the fan leaves and some of the new growth is looking pretty gnarled and twisted. I hear windburn can cause this too so I’m turning my fans down to low speed. This could also be a problem with humidity so I’m going to turn off my humidifier, dim the lights and raise them. During my last feeding I mulched in some worm castings but it seems like they’re keeping the soil/coco from drying out. Pots are still decently heavy and even the surface is still quite moist but they aren’t showing any major signs of overwatering. I figure it will only be a few weeks before the castings break down so I will just leave it. A few of the plants are starting to show yellowing leaf tips which is probably some kind of micro nutrient lockout from my PH being slightly too high. It could also be from nute burn so I will water in 6.0 until I see some runoff. Although the most likely culprit is potassium excess. I’ve been feeding potassium almost as much as nitrogen so far. I know that can cause the yellowing of leaf tips by locking out trace minerals. It can also cause leaf problems like crinkling. Excess K can even cause water retention! Will water at 6.0 until run off next watering. The lst is coming along nicely. It was a good idea to remove the first two sets of branches (not leaves). Now I have 4-6 perfectly even stems coming from each plant that I plan to top one more time each. (Day 37) Today I’m going to vacuum, clean, wipe down and spray all my equipment in the tent. I’ve been letting the floor get quite dirty and I haven’t had the chance for a thorough clean since last round. I’m kind of surprised I haven’t seen any powdery mildew yet. I guess the prevention spray is working because the room has to be infected from my last crop. (Day 40) I was reading that you can foliar spray whatever you are deficient in for an immediate uptake. I‘m going to try that with my current potassium excess since it locks out trace minerals. I’m going to foliar feed a bit of phytoplankton at 15ml/L and some MagnifiCal + VeloKelp from Remo nutrients both at 5ml/L. The cal mag is not organic but as long as it’s not going into the soil and doesn’t contain chlorine I’m fine with it. I’m also going to be changing the light cycle to 18/6 for the remainder of veg. This will be their first dark cycle so they can properly foliar feed. Edit: humidity shot up to 85% a few hours after foliar spray. I went to top dress everything today and I mixed up the plants while doing so! So the ones I was unsure about I gave 1 extra tablespoon. I won’t top dress again for at least 10 days. Might give a light tea sometime next week. I also tilled the shit out of the top of each pot. It had a hard crusty layer on top that was keeping the medium from drying out properly. I’m not going to water again until everything is bone dry. Then I will water until slight runoff at 6.0 ph with some Dr. Marijane bacteria/root probiotic. I’m starting too see a lot more of these abrasions on some of the bigger fan leaves. It almost looks like thrip damage but I’m 100% sure it’s not a pest above ground. It could be bulb mites, which I found in my worm castings but I can’t check until the roots are more established in their pots. The leaves themselves are cold and feel damp to the touch. I haven’t even seen a fungus gnat since I last fed. I’m hoping it’s related to the K excess and clears up with the troubleshooting. (Day 41) Just ordered a wire cube rack to prop my plants up with and help evaporation/root warmth. Each cube is 11.8”x11.8”x11.8” and it comes with 16 cubes. So it will fit just perfectly in my 4x4. Depending on the size, I might order another one for the flower room where I would need 25 cubes.

Well it’s been a rough ride with this WW girl, She was veging on the side for quite a while and not in the best of conditions. Transferred her to CoCo and things went terrible. pH was good and nutes were good, but her roots weren’t the best of shape. She wasn’t growing and all her stems and main branch were turning purple, I thought not again, I foliar sprayed for a few days with epsom salt which helped a little, but I decided to Put her back to soil. I nurtured her back to health and I was able to do a little fimming and she responded very nicely after that. She now has a few friends beside her in the tent, which is my grow 3 & 4. Two Purple Kush and a northern light. Hopefully if all goes well I’ll be flipping the switch in 3 or 4 weeks. The new additions just finished their 2nd week of veg. Wish me luck, I certainly need it !

Hi guys Welcome 🙂 This is going to be the last upgrade for this sisters, all MATURE KUSH 🌿 Strain breeding by Microgenetica Seed bank 🏆 Very very fast genetics...fast and resinous 🔥 We are exactly at just day 56° of flowering and the buds are already mature almost at the best Maybe i will leave their another three/four days and then i say them bye 🤔 ✂️ Honestly, at least with what i have see here on GD, mostly of the growers can easily harwest at day 45/49.. Im my opinion its much better be patience and leave the flowers create at the best all the compounds 👌 And definetly a week can change a lot ! But it's right everybody doing whats they want 🤙 Anyway In the end the plants have create a great dense buds ! Not really super smelling like i believed in the beginning.. But maybe appears after a good dry and cure 🤞 So, about that..after i have will cut all four plants, i dry the flowers without cut them off and leaving all the little leafs ! This process approximatly can during about seven to ten days.. Then i will cut off any branches from the plant and im foing to manicuring the flowers on the branches.. After that i will put all the branches with the flowers on, in a brown bag...for a few days ! Then, when i feel that the buds are almost "dry" , but before the "crack" on the branches, im going to cut them off  and i put in a glass jar.. For 24h im going to not open it... After this first day closed, im going to open and closed about three fourth times a day..it depends.. This process usually going for three weeks, and any week im going to decrease the open/closed.. And that's it ! Now, i think the final rewiew will be in a month and few weeks.. Close up and smoke/vape test 😉 And then i will can tell you if its only a fast and oleous strain, or also tasty too.. Thanks for the support all this past weeks 🙏 Ciao ✌️ 🇮🇹

day 22: the plants are beautiful, they are all starting to produce trichromes.. no sign of deficiencies! I did one of the last defoliations. the smells are starting to appear for some, the ones that struck me are: - code red #1 and #2: strawberry and cream terps.. a bit like strawberry milk! it's crazy - B45: citrus and bug terps.. on a background of exotic fruit and gas! it's incredible - LA vanilla cake: vanilla ice cream terps - Cherry gar see ya #4 clone: a puree of exotic fruits, especially mango and pineapple.. I'm a fan my two papayas have herm, I found some bananas.. I really don't understand, they are in the perfect ecosystem!! I removed the bananas and left the plants for the moment, to be continued in my flowering TCO, I put: - kelp hydrolysate - epsom salt - bat guano - mealworm guana - castor bean shell ash - palm ash - vermicompost - blackstrap molasses - elycitor -Yeasts Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Bottom right: Papaya Bang Bang #1 Bottom middle: LA Vanilla cake #2 Bottom left: Papaya bang bang #2 middle right: Code red # middle: cherry gar see ya #4 clone middle left: White runtz x Hollywood Top right: Code red # Top middle: B-45 Top left: LA Vanilla Cake #1

Week 8 Flower This was the last week in The Fox's Den for this stunning Pineapple Kush girl by Royal Queen Seeds. She smells dank asf and still super gassy (which is something I absolutely love ⛽) she was flushed all week with 6pH water for each flushing (I use tap water between 150-190ppm). She was taken down on Day 56 to finish off a great 8 weeks. Her fan leaves were taken off and she was hung in a box, where she'll dry as slowly as possible for between 6-10 days. The slower the dry the better the buds will taste/smell. Once she's dry enough she'll be trimmed and jarred for curing. Thank you to everyone who's been following and showing support, it's always greatly appreciated ✌️ I'll be uploading the harvest update a soon as possible so keep an eye out! Happy growing! 🐺

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.

Hoy día 20/4/26 hemos añadido el primer riego de monsterbloom. Tengo que decir que e metido dos riegos desde la última vez hasta ahora muy suaves con calmag y purezym rebajando con esto la ec ya que tenía muchos puntos salinos y algunas plantas quemaron sus hojas Después de este riego en dos días intercaló 20l de calmag más purezym y a los otros dos días vuelvo a meter abonos así iré intercalando para no subir más la salinidad y preparando el terreno para el lavado de raíces.. tengo que añadir que el último riego con power roots se acabó hoy. Penúltimo día de la sexta semana de floración, Un aumento en altura ya que las puntas siguen creciendo en densidad ,aumento de resina considerable para el poco desarrollo de las flores. Espero llevarla hasta el día 72/75 de floración.

Pink Truffle — Week 5 Flowering Pink Truffle is entering the bulking stage with impressive flower development across the entire plant. Buds are becoming denser and more compact, with noticeable calyx swelling and a thick blanket of fresh white pistils. Resin production is increasing steadily, covering the flowers and sugar leaves as terpene expression begins to intensify. Its open branch structure continues to maximize light penetration, allowing every flowering site to mature evenly. The plant remains healthy and vigorous, showing excellent potential for heavy resin production and outstanding bag appeal over the coming weeks. Seeds by World Breeders Cultivated by Piperoots 🇲🇦 🌱🔥

13/01 😶 bien quoi ? 16/01 Bien.. foxtailing alors. Bon c'est pas ci mal. Elle passera à l'extraction pour me faire du liquide vapote. 😉 18/01 Aujourd'hui j'ai fait, des photos rapidement ,et l'arrosage encore plus rapidement car il fait -2c°. Etre en dessous de zéro c'est pas habituel par ici,. Alors J'ai refermé la tente vite fait, et suis rentré me mettre au chaud. 🙏🖖

Soaked seeds in plain water for less than 24 hours and all had taproots emerging. Went into Rapid Rooter Cubes in a humidity dome. Less than 48 hours from first placing seeds in water we got 100% germination rate 💪
