GMO Cookies Served with Extra Curiosity ?🍪 Week 14 — Harvest Report | Fresh Frozen Experiment And here we are. Week 14. Harvest week. And honestly… the room looked absolutely unreal. Before we even touched the scissors, before a single branch was cut, before the freezer bags started filling up, there was already this feeling in the room that these girls had become something special. Massive structures. Heavy flowers. Long spears. Dense tops. Colors everywhere. Deep greens. Fading yellows. Lime tones. Hints of gold. Dark shadows between swollen calyxes. And then the smell… Oh man. The smell. This is one of those cultivars that genuinely makes the room feel less like a grow room and more like walking into a kitchen where someone is preparing something loud, greasy, savory, and unforgettable. The GMO side of these genetics speaks immediately and unapologetically. Garlic. Onion. Savory funk. That unmistakable “food terpene” profile that GMO became legendary for. But underneath all that aggression, there is still sweetness hiding in there too. Cookie dough warmth. Earthiness. Creamy backend notes. A weird balance between offensive and delicious that only certain genetics can truly achieve. And honestly? We loved it. But before diving fully into this week, let’s do what we always do and quickly recap the journey, because by now many people arrive only at the final reports and never see the earlier stages of the diary. So first of all: yes… once again we divided the harvest into multiple reports 😄 And honestly, we know it starts becoming a cliché at this point. But there is simply too much here: * too many photos, * too many details, * too many observations, * too many experiments, * too much resin, * and too much love for the plant itself to throw everything into one rushed update. This run deserved time. From seed until now, this GMO Cookies run was grown under a 12/12 from seed cycle using the F.O.G. LED setup, inside the Mammoth Elite tent environment, with careful environmental management throughout the run. The girls received multiple rounds of LST, selective defoliation, and continuous observation to maintain airflow and light penetration while still allowing the plants to express themselves naturally. And express themselves they absolutely did. These plants developed huge vascular systems and incredibly thick stems by the end of flower. Once harvest began and we started cutting branches down, the insides looked almost like miniature tree trunks. Thick water highways running through the center, dense supportive tissue everywhere, strong skeletal structures carrying massive tops from beginning to end. You could physically feel how much water and energy these plants had been moving daily. Some stems genuinely felt more like wood than plant tissue. And that strength translated directly into the flowers themselves: dense, heavy, greasy, stacked, and extremely aromatic. Now here comes the part that will probably make some people cry a little 😄 Because normally, growers harvest and dry most of their flower for smoking… while only freezing smaller amounts for hash washing later. We did the exact opposite here. Most of these girls went directly into the freezer. And yes… intentionally. Why? Because this plant was screaming hash potential from the beginning. The resin texture, the greasy leaf rub, the finger stickiness, the way trichomes smeared across gloves, the density of the heads, the aroma intensity… everything about this cultivar felt like it was asking to become fresh frozen. So after removing fan leaves and preparing the flowers carefully, we separated the majority of the buds specifically for freezing. Not whole plants. Not stems. Not unnecessary material. Just flowers. Pure bud material prepared for future washing. Final fresh frozen numbers landed around: 755.5 grams total including bags, which leaves us somewhere roughly around the 700–730g range of actual fresh frozen flower material once packaging weight is removed. And honestly… that is incredibly exciting. For anyone unfamiliar with fresh frozen: this means the flowers are frozen immediately after harvest instead of being dried first. The goal here is preservation. Fresh frozen material helps preserve volatile terpenes, delicate aromatic compounds, and resin characteristics that can partially disappear during traditional drying and curing. Later, this material can be processed into: * ice water hash, * bubble hash, * live hash, * live rosin, * or other solventless extractions. And despite some people debating whether water itself should technically count as a “solvent,” the reality is that this process remains one of the cleanest and most beautiful extraction methods in cannabis culture. Ice. Water. Movement. Separation through resin density. That’s it. And based on what we already felt from simply handling these plants? This could become something truly beautiful later on. Even during harvest, the resin behavior was already honestly ridiculous. The gloves became sticky almost immediately. Fingers started collecting greasy residue after only small amounts of handling. The scissors became coated quickly. And the texture of that resin… dark, oily, greasy, almost greasy-food-like in character, which feels incredibly fitting for a GMO cultivar. This is the type of resin that makes hash makers smile instantly. Now of course, we did not freeze absolutely everything. We intentionally kept select flowers aside for traditional drying and curing because we want to compare the expressions later: * cured flower terpene profile, * versus fresh frozen hash expression, * versus eventual solventless extraction results. That comparison itself is part of the experiment. And honestly, that is one of the beautiful things about growing: sometimes the harvest is not the end of the project. Sometimes harvest is simply the beginning of several new ones. The flowers we kept for drying are currently hanging under controlled conditions while the frozen material quietly waits for its transformation later on. And yes… there will absolutely be future reports about the washing process. About the ice water extraction. About the resin quality. About the yields. About the terpene preservation. About the final hash itself. But for now? This week belongs to the harvest. To the skeletons. To the colors. To the smells. To the giant branches hanging in silence. To the freezer bags packed full of greasy flowers. To the excitement of possibility. And honestly… to experimentation too. Because growing is not only about repeating safe formulas forever. Sometimes it is also about curiosity. Trying things. Learning. Observing. Comparing. Taking risks. Seeing what happens. And this entire harvest feels driven by exactly that spirit. We also brought these girls into the studio before harvest because honestly they deserved their final photoshoot. And wow. They looked incredible. Some shots leaned cinematic and dark. Others focused on vivid greens and flower structure. Some highlighted the towering spear-like colas. Others focused on greasy closeups and texture. And under the studio lights, the resin coverage became even more obvious. The flowers looked almost wet in certain angles. Sticky. Alive. Heavy. Exactly the kind of flower that instantly tells you: “This is not going to stay clean for long once trimming starts.” 😄 Which brings us to next week. Next week will likely focus on: * drying, * trimming, * resin collection, * finger hash, * scissor hash, * handling techniques, * curing preparation, * and possibly the beginning of the washing process if time allows. If not, the washing report will arrive later as its own chapter. And honestly? That feels right. Because this run deserves patience. Now before ending this report, as always: Thank you. To Zamnesia. To Plagron. To F.O.G. To the gear. To the platform. To the community. To the growers sharing knowledge every day. To the silent supporters. To the curious people discovering the diary for the first time. To the macro lovers. To the hash makers. To the flower lovers. To the skeptics 😄 To everyone spending even a few seconds here with us. This plant may already be harvested… but honestly?

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.

great week. flowers are filling in. trying to figure out what the yellow is from. PH is good, its well fed. BG 2 started but stopped. the smell is incredible. Only a few weeks left!

This week I focused on training — topped her multiple times to encourage a bushy structure. She responded well, showing strong growth and lots of new shoots. The stem is thickening nicely and side branches are stretching out, promising a good number of future bud sites. Very happy with how she’s shaping up so far

Hello again my friends! I uploaded longer vids this time for the Vlogs, you don't have to watch em they're there for ya if you're interested :) ~Update~ To start off the girls look great, I'm excited that I'm back where I was when my "First Grow" failed. What's interesting to me is seeing the big difference in the SSH, the 2 previous girls I had were veracious growers, 3 1/2 days of germination and they had a tap root longer than an inch! This one is not so aggressive and has stronger sativa genetics, thin not phat. The others have been doing well, no pest yet which I'll be doing a bleach wipe down of my side of the garage to reduce the chances of an invasion. ~Note~ I'll be updating later this week with a short vid showing the progress. If you happen to watch my longer vlogs let me know what you think down in the comments, I appreciate the feedback ya'll provide. Have a blessed day, much love Meus <3 ~Update 9-19-18 [Mainline]~ So things went well, I'm looking forward to seeing if the clones take. Check out the vid if you wanna see my first attempt at mainlining! The next update will be Tuesday, see ya then!

Tag 45: Hab die Green Gelato ganz schön ausgehackt 😬 Sie ist sehr schnell gewachsen, bin gar nicht hinterher gekommen. Durch die Wärme ist die Pflanze recht hell geworden ich gebe ab sofort Alg a mic dazu um ihr hoffentlich etwas grün zurück zugeben.

So this was a simple going grow!!! It’s strange how the hot so big under the light! I had one blue cheese under the same light and tent and it was way smaller!! Anyway 1 of these has come out perfect very happy the other two I’m not to sure the hairs were still pointing up but I really don’t have the time to have them going another week there already over the time they was supposed to be done but yeah I’d say out of 10 I’d rate this blue cheese growing experience a 6 out of 10 hopefully this improves when it’s dry!!!

This is end of week 7. I think another week or two and they're ready for harvest. Smell is getting stronger and I'm seeing some nice colours on the leaves which is typical for this strain. Everything looking really nice and volume of the buds is increasing every day. Lovin' it😄💚✌️

It was an easy harvest as the colas developed nicely. Hardly any popcorn nugs and very little sugar leaves. If the weather had allowed it, I think she could have grown even bigger, but I'm more than happy with the outcome!

Just the 2 bubba cheesecakes left few more days then it's chop chop

Acabamos con estas colombian jack,con 70 días y un olor súper dulce,empezamos con el secado.

LST, HST and defoliated second time, Fimmed main 1x, fimmed all tops 14 days later, fimmed all resulting tops 3 weeks later. well over 100 tops and counting, removed all tiny branches off the mains. pre loli.. lol Ill let em up in a few days. should be well beyond the 20" circumference of the 20 gal pots. Gonn a flower 2 in the space , and 2 in my newly acquired 48x48x80 tent. Shopping a few Flowering beasts to put in for the next phase. Love to get 2x https://opticledgrowlights.com/products/slim-720s-dimmable-led-grow-light-720w-triple-dimmer-3500k-uv-ir-lh351h-v2. Oh well, we will see. HAppy growing peeps!

Plants were watered on day 4 of week 9, as follows: Lucy: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.27, Height: 22 in. Herbert: 1.25 gallons water, pH: 5.77, Height: 24.5 in. ***Both fed nutrients - 5 ml/.5 gal BioVega (3% N, 1% Phosphate, 5% Soluble Potash), 7 ml/.5 gal BioBoost (1% Phosphate), and 1 ml/.5 gal BioRhizotonic (0.6% Soluble Potash) Plants were watered on day 5 of week 9, as follows: Thin Mint Sr: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.76, Height: 20 in. Thin Mint Jr: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.50, Height: 19.5 in Notes: Thin Mint Jr has nutrient burn and so was NOT fed nutrients today. Thin Mint Sr was fed nutrients at 50% strength 2.5 ml/.5 gal BioVega (3% N, 1% Phosphate, 5% Soluble Potash), 4 ml/.5 gal BioBoost (1% Phosphate), and 0.5 ml/.5 gal BioRhizotonic (0.6% Soluble Potash) (both plants still in nutrient distress - in process of recovery but have some new growth that is greener so improvement is being observed; slowly but surely!) ***Plants ideally would have been transitioned to the flowering phase this week, but due to nutrient deficiencies and nutrient burn on Thin Mint Jr., we are holding off on this transition for 1 week to give the plants a chance to recover from stress.

Had a lovely smoke all week , weighted in at 149 g of super frosty buds ( I’ve smoked at least 10g )

Another easy week did some light defoliation and tightened down some of the LST. Gave a lite banana tea. Make sure to go check out my sponsor Mars-hydro.com and use code cgd2021 for a discount.

This is the last week I opted for root maintenance that endured the previous hard work Maintain the functioning of beneficial microorganisms. #LivingSoil #Notill 🍑🍬🧀🍭

Start of week 3 for Black Lebanon by SSSC These girls just got their day 21 strip.. Pheno 3 didn't get a massive strip because she seems to be a few days behind everyone else so I'm going to wait before i do the same to her but i did snip a few fan leaves that were blocking light. They've been getting fairly watered heavy when they do get watered 2/3 times a week but I'm trying to water more often in smaller amounts. Pheno 1 & 2 have been stretching like crazy😍Was really hoping pheno 4 would catch up but doesn't seem like the case. Plants are loving the Taurus TRS600 every time i come in they are praying. The feed is BioBloom by greenhouse Feeding at 2.5g per L of medium.

Smelling sexy

its day 35 since sproud and the plant looks good so far. I removed some leaves and started training her with that bending clips to make the branches stronger. I collected leave mold from the surrounding woods. a lot of white fungy hopefully usefull mycoriza.
