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.

D43. The third week of flower starts, and the girls are rocking it in the tent. They are bushier than a 70s pornstar, and the first girl has doubled in height in the last week. The second girl is only now starting to go into flower, so I expect her to soon begin stretching. She isn't far behind in height, so I suspect she will eventually be taller. There are a few yellow tips on new leaves on the first girl. It probably won't become a problem; it is only minor so far, but I will continue to monitor it. I slightly defoliated the girls below the canopy to promote better airflow, but I will wait until the stretch is done before a more substantial defoliation. ------------------------------ D46. The girls are raging in the tent. The first girl has stretched over 8 cm in three days, and the second girl is keeping pace, although she still has yet to go into full flower. I'm concerned regarding the first girl, as new leaves at the top of the canopy are thin and displaying interveinal chlorosis. Fresh leaves further down look fine, as do older leaves. The stretch and the increased light might have something to do with it. We'll see. I checked the DLI; it was around 53, which is way high this early in flower. I raised and dimmed the light to a DLI of 48, which is still high but should be more appropriate. ------------------------------ D49. So, I have a tent-sized jungle on my hand. Three weeks ago, I nearly cut down these plants because they had a rocky start, and I feared they got stunted. I have no idea what happened since, but HOLY SHIT! These girls have blown up. The second girl stretched over 25 cm this week and turned into a beast, which is funny, considering she was the smallest one from day one. She will continue to stretch longer as she is only starting to flower. The first girl is further along and is showing proper pompoms and will remain shorter than the second girl. Still, I hope that the difference in canopy height will be manageable. I will clean up the lower canopy in the coming week. The first girl is ready to shave her legs, but the second girl still needs a few days to settle into flower. ------------------------------

Still drying up from last week flush, so no ferts. Will start again next week as soon as the soil is ready to accept new water. I removed all the lower branches that couldn’t reach the light and I moved the ceramic heat lamps in the bottom of the grow box to help the drying process of the soil. But the big news is that she finally started flowering! And this was the last who still was stuck in pre-flowering phase 😃

I do not usually top but we’re going to give it a go. Rainbow melon had an issue with hurm on my first Grow so this is round two for her. She is doing amazing just like her sister Was at this time so fingers crossed seems like the third week of flower is when I started noticing the hurm FastBuds4204LiFe💯🔥

Well as always I'm super happy with what the team over at @fastbuds are doing ! To be honest they were my first auto flowering brand I tried and they sponsors that grow because they like helping growers. Easy to approach and great customer service I have not been disappointed yet and this strain here is a keeper . I wish I could bottle the scent up and keep it forced 🙂. In the beginning I wanted to grow her out in a Christmas themed container do she was put into a snowman ⛄ deal placed into a 2 gallon pot . The soil and all additives are organic , living soil a Canadian company blend . She honestly was knocked out twice from her container and her size is tall but not many buds I stressed her out a lot . If she wouldn't have fallen out and been in a 4-5 gallon container then I would be even happier . The scent alone makes up for the size I could smell it all day . Never have I smelt an auto flowering strain like this before . Over fruity like ripened strawberries and lots of gas to be had as well . Today I decided to chop her down and make room for the next generation a head . The fact is that I enjoy all strains and don't care whether it's an auto or a photoperiod this company makes some fine plants and have been in my garden for almost two years now they are my go to auto flowering company ..cheers We got a smoke report going now and it's a bomb smoke I can't believe this was what I got . So much fruity and earthy undertones with such sticky buds I'm in love .. wish I had this whole plant in my garden it's fire smoke a great indica buzz

She's actually not using as much water as I'm used to with other plants. I went a good week without watering her, and she didn't show any signs of needing more. So, after almost 10 days, I fertilized her again.

They are doing great. I did add some slow release amendment because she's losing a little too much green for my liking at this stage. I am liking how she stacked and her flowers are getting fat fast. I love Barney's Farm genetics especially the Dos si Dos 33. It seems like once noticable flowers have formed they literally mature over night,one of the fastest blooming strains I have grown. Also she's so easy to clone even in mid flower, which is my favorite time to take cutting due to the prolific branching caused by the re vegging process also known as monster cropping. Cheers!!!

Hi people! Yes! I transplanted it into a 35 liter pot! and switched to flowering mode 12-12 .. The plant is just huge! this photo was taken immediately after transplanting and LSTb, so the plant is a little sad .. but you can still estimate how well it is developed and healthy .. next week it will appear before you in its full glory!
