I want to thank all the growers that take the time to post their work and results, these journals were invaluable in my grow. I also want to thank Royal Queen Seeds for making such a resilient plant available to people like me... I really tortured this girl. Site update really ruined the experience of posting for me for the moment ... so Im going to take a break for a bit and perfect my craft on my own while it works out the kinks.... I cant post many pics, the order of which I can organize them is locked out or moves to another position, and it takes forever to fully load the page so I can edit or update. But I 'really' wanted to finish this journal, so here it is. I promise to be back better than ever once the site works it all out. Hopefully not too long. This was my first seed to weed grow and I learned a lot. I hope my notes, pictures, and videos benefit someone else as well. My results were not typical, Im sure I could have done better, and I will continue on my path to learning and becoming an experienced cultivator of cannabis with skills I can be proud of.

GMO Cookies Served with Extra Curiosity ?🍪 Curing & Smoke Review | Loud Garlic, Heavy Nights & The Story Continues And yes… once again 😄 We divided the reports. At this point I honestly think everyone following this diary already expected it. But the truth is simple: there was absolutely no way to properly document this entire journey inside one single update without rushing through details that genuinely deserved time and attention. So before anything else: thank you for following this ride with us. And even though this is technically the “final” smoke review and curing report… it actually is not the end yet. Because somewhere inside the freezer still rests: more than 700 grams of fresh frozen GMO Cookies waiting patiently for washing day. And when that day comes: * the ice, * the bags, * the machine, * the resin, * the separation, * the drying, * the pressing, * the final hash… all of that will absolutely deserve its own dedicated report too. So this is not goodbye. This is simply the end of the flower chapter. Now for the people arriving only now, let’s quickly recap how we got here. This entire GMO Cookies run was grown under a 12/12 from seed cycle from beginning until harvest. The plants were raised under the F.O.G. LED setup with environmental management focused on healthy development, airflow, resin production, and structure while allowing the genetics to express themselves naturally with minimal interruption. From the very beginning, these girls showed personality. Strong structure. Aggressive aroma. Fast resin production. And one very obvious characteristic: GARLIC. Not subtle garlic either. Real GMO garlic. The type of smell that instantly transforms the room atmosphere. During flower the room slowly evolved into this strange combination of: * savory kitchen aromas, * spicy funk, * greasy earthiness, * warm pepper notes, * and hidden sweetness underneath. And even now after curing for somewhere between one and a half to almost two months… it somehow keeps getting louder. Louder. Sharper. Deeper. The sweetness is still there, absolutely. But eventually the garlic takes control over almost everything else. And honestly? For GMO lovers… that is exactly what makes this cultivar beautiful. This is not candy weed. This is not fruity tropical smoothie terps. This is: funk, gas, pepper, savory grease, garlic, earth, and kitchen madness. It smells like a chef lost control inside a restaurant. And people who love GMO genetics will immediately understand exactly what that means 😄 Now, one thing we want to be transparent about: This flower is not dense. And honestly? That part falls mostly on me. The room temperatures during flower were simply slightly higher than what this specific cultivar truly wanted. Since multiple cultivars shared the room simultaneously, it became impossible to perfectly satisfy every plant equally, and this GMO clearly responded by holding a slightly fluffier structure compared to the others. But here is the important part: Density is not everything. Because what this flower lacks slightly in compactness… it completely compensates for in: * aroma, * terpene intensity, * resin quality, * effect, * flavor, * smoothness, * trichome coverage, * and overall personality. And honestly? Sometimes personality matters far more than rock-hard flowers. Especially when the medicine itself feels this enjoyable. During cure, the flowers rested primarily inside Grove Bags, with smaller portions also stored inside glass jars for comparison and monitoring. And surprisingly? Both methods preserved the flower beautifully. The terpene expression remained extremely similar between both storage methods, which honestly tells me one important thing: we hit the drying point correctly. That slow 10-day drying process around: * 60% humidity, * temperatures between 18–20°C, really helped stabilize the flowers before cure without overdrying them or stripping away the volatile compounds too aggressively. And once ground up? This flower becomes absolutely gorgeous. Seriously. The grinder reveals: * greens, * purples, * silver resin, * orange hairs, * greasy trichomes, * and this sparkling dusty texture that almost looks alive under proper light. Even visually, this cultivar feels special. The trichome coverage remained beautiful all the way through cure, and the flower still leaves visible greasy residue almost immediately after handling. And the smoke itself? Oh man… This is heavy medication. Not racey. Not anxious. Not overwhelming mentally. Just deep. Warm. Heavy. Relaxing. This is absolutely the type of cultivar I personally recommend for: * evenings, * late nights, * movie sessions, * gaming, * music, * stress release, * appetite stimulation, * body relaxation, * or simply ending the day peacefully. You feel it strongly in the body. The muscles soften. The shoulders drop. The body becomes heavier. And slowly the mind follows. Not in a chaotic way. Not paranoia. Not panic. Not confusion. Just: “Okay… the day is over now.” That type of effect. And honestly? I really enjoy that. The flavor follows the aroma beautifully too. Garlic dominates the experience heavily, but underneath there are: * spicy pepper notes, * savory warmth, * earthy funk, * slight sweetness, * and that strange greasy cookie profile GMO lovers chase so much. It lingers in the mouth too. Long after exhaling. And yes… the joints absolutely develop beautiful oil rings while burning. Slow greasy rings forming around the cherry exactly the way many resin lovers appreciate seeing. The ash burns clean. The smoke remains surprisingly smooth considering how aggressive the terpene profile actually is. And the appetite stimulation? Very real 😄 This thing absolutely activates the kitchen instincts. Now let’s talk numbers. The dried and properly prepared flower totals landed at: * 137.1g + 52.8g from the first dried branches * 224.2g from the drying rack flowers bringing the dry flower total to: 414.1 grams of cured GMO Cookies flower ready for consumption. And beyond that: there still remains over 700 grams of fresh frozen material waiting for future solventless work. Which honestly might become one of the most exciting chapters yet. Because the resin behavior from this cultivar already tells us something special is waiting there. Even the tiny amounts of hand-collected resin and trim-bin sift already produced: * dark greasy resin, * sticky temple balls, * oily texture, * and incredible aroma concentration. So expectations for the future wash are definitely very high. And before ending this final flower report, I wanted to include a few of the live-plant focus stacks and photographs again too. Not because they were necessary. But because honestly… this plant deserved it. Some flowers simply leave an impression. And this GMO Cookies genuinely did. From seed until cure, this cultivar remained fascinating: * visually, * aromatically, * structurally, * medicinally, * and photographically. Even now looking back at the live flower photographs still feels special. And before closing this chapter properly: Thank you. To Zamnesia. To F.O.G. To Plagron. To Human Pro. To Mammoth. To Grove Bags. To the platform. To the community. To the growers. To the hash makers. To the curious people following these long reports 😄 To everyone who spent even a few moments here with us throughout this journey. Cannabis truly is sacred to many of us. Not only as medicine. Not only as a hobby. But as culture, craft, ritual, community, and connection. And sharing these moments together honestly means a lot. So while this may be the final flower report for this GMO Cookies run… the story still is not fully finished yet. Because one day soon: the freezer opens. The ice melts. The resin separates. And this beautiful garlic monster returns one final time in hash form. 🌱

week intel: we getting close to end of ripening , this week i raised drought , Nitrogen and E.C stress by feeding them 2 times per week and raised e.c to 3 to cause real stress that will help increase terpenes production stresses : Nitrogen deficiency Stress by removing the fertilizers that has N in them Drought stress via removing one meal in week high E.C stress around 1.7 and the other feeding day 3.0 , 2 times a week feeding: no more Nitrogen i feed them 2 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with Bio-Bizz Top-Max + Feeding Booster about 850 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause a medium e.c stress. day 3 : no more feeding this day day 5 : i feed them very high dose of Bio-Bizz Top-Max + Feeding Booster around 1500 ppm - 3 e.c to cause high e.c stress guide of the week : be patient in the last weeks, never hurry for harvest because its the time of ripening in last 2 weeks you should let plants to do their work last weeks of ripening is the time to break the limits we should cause 3 stresses as i said above Nitrogen stress , Drought Stress , E.C Stress

This week went pretty well, other than she stretched like crazy and I am now getting worried about running out of vertical space. I also had a few of my bottom leaves get a few brown and yellow spots on them. I did post some pics and asked a question, thank you for the responses, much appreciated! I am thinking about adding my Spyder Farmer LED 100 Watt light into the tent for the nebula auto because it is about 23 inches shorter than the sour diesel. I believe it would only raise my temp about 2 degrees, and possibly lower the humidity by one or two percent. I must say my dehumidifier has been a freaking stud, running 24X7 and not complaining. I should look into adding another unit, it has been in the mid 90's and muggy for about a week. So far I have to say I am super impressed and excited with this setup, the genetics, and with growing this wonderful plant in general. Already planning ahead to my next grow, and what I can do better. I have been enjoying myself and I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to answer my questions! I am having a blast and am excited to see what this lady will give up in a few weeks!

Skipped 2 weeks didnt feel like uploading idk. Flushed them a couple days ago with a shitload of water, now will just wait for them to fade and die so i can harvest. Huge chunks all around, some minor foxtailing due to high temps that only increased the density of the buds, smell is awesome, earthy sweet i would say but not much of a connoiseur myself. I am thinking she is carrying a solid 70 grams dry.

Beautiful.... a lot of LST made her like a snake. She would be very tall otherwise. Crazy...... a lot of rain by the way the temperature is getting low.... but it seems to be good all the things :) I am not sure about her height may be even 100 cm over 🤪 Day 111: She looks like kind a strated the flowering cycle I mean the greenish tops I need to force her to flower shit weather UK it will be too late so I decided to do it manually covering her first 36 hours and then every day to get less than 12 hours light or smthg like that l. 🙄 So in case she started it helps her to go on if not then she will. I am sure she started 🙃

🍬 Sweet Mandarine Skittles (Sweet Seeds) – Week 7 | Flowering Day 1 🌸 Here we go! 🚀 Yesterday I flipped her to bloom, so today is officially Day 1 of flowering. She’s growing in Sonnenerde (yes, real “sun soil” 🌞🌱) and has already stretched like crazy. Honestly, she smells phenomenal – a strong sweet citrus candy vibe in the air 🍊🍬. I’m a bit worried she might turn into a giant later on, but that’s part of the fun 😅. I didn’t catch the moment right after transplanting to see how she reacted, but hey – it’s all part of the experiment. Luckily I’ve got a few more seeds of her in the stash, so we’ll see what this one can teach me 🌿. Stick around, follow along, and let’s see how big this Sweet Mandarine Skittles rainbow will shine 🌈🔥. --- 🍬 Sweet Mandarine Skittles (Sweet Seeds) – Woche 7 | Blütetag 1 🌸 Jetzt geht’s los! 🚀 Gestern habe ich auf Blüte umgestellt, also ist heute offiziell Tag 1 der Blüte. Sie wächst in Sonnenerde 🌞🌱 und hat sich vorher schon ordentlich gestretched. Der Duft ist jetzt schon phänomenal – süß, fruchtig, richtig nach Citrus-Bonbons 🍊🍬. Ein bisschen Sorge hab ich schon, dass sie nachher ein richtiger Riese wird 😅. Leider hab ich den Moment nach dem Umtopfen nicht getappt, um zu sehen, wie sie reagiert hat – aber egal, ist ja ein Experiment. Zum Glück habe ich noch ein paar Samen auf Lager, also mal sehen, was dabei rauskommt 🌿. Bleibt dran und vergesst nicht zu folgen – das hier könnte ein richtig süßer Ananas-Rainbow werden 🌈🔥.

Heyo growmies Flipped to flower! Obliviously the plant is still transitioning and there are no signs of flower yet this week. Roots are nice and healthy and absolutely loving Hydroguard, there is no more muck collecting around my pumps or roots. Overall my training in veg could have been better, I could have followed a guide like nebula haze, but instead I sorta just winged it, it remains to be seen whether or not it pays of in flower, I'm looking for dense nugs, and not a lot of popcorn. My cooling isn't sufficient, but I have some DIY tricks up my sleeve to keep this bucket cool. Hoping to see some color on this girl, I've only grown green weed so far and would love some pretty flowers, that's all for this week, thanks for stopping by. Stay safe and keep growing.

Grow diary 11 Stage 4 Days 31-40 Day 31 Turned power up to 85% on the mars hydro ts1000. Mines one of the old ones you need to stick a screw driver in to alter it. Day 36 Removed the single finger fan leaves and the 1st 3 fingered leaves. Day 39 Removed the 4 fan leaves from where she was topped last week. The start of this stage we hit a heat wave, day after day of heat. I had my humidifier on most of the 9 days. The tent didn't hit the temps I thought it would so that means I have my loft under a bit better control. The plant really kicked into gear this week, around day 34 she started to explode in growth. So far I have only done some lite defoliation by removing some of the 1st leaves that weren't getting any light anymore. I think the kosher cake is the 2nd nicest looking one in the grow. TEMP Max 32.2 Avg 26.5 Min 21.9 Humid Max 71.2% Avg 58.4% Min 50.3% VPD Max 2.32 Avg 1.44 Min 0.85

Day 43 since seed touched soil. Hard week past. Those long not drinking days when cycle was taking 8 days to dry out made damage, i still see magnesium, but now added some rusty spots and i cant understand is it calcium or my spraying of Leaf Coat and burn. No spray this week, will check if new will appear. Because of troubles i postponed flip and top up till next watering. It should be in 4-5 days. Done huge clearing, few more new ties added, reajusted old. 3.5 liters of 6.3 phed dechlorinated water went in after training. Joe is damaged most, develops slowly, Twins definitely bigger by mass. Picky strain looks like ;) Planing to install scrog this week too. Mars Hydro TSL2000 is on 70% output, thinking to increase it with flip to 75. Light is working fine , really covers all space , great affordable light for colder climate. Day 45. Girls recovered from training very nice ! In few days flip . Day 47. Girls got top up. Put first level of scrog. Flipped to 12/12, tent is rammed ;) light output on 75%, 4 liters of 6.3 phed water went in. Top up was dosed, mixed well and laid on top, then i rough and mix top lair of soil with top up and only then i water. All pots are 30 litres ( grams and ml , have in mind ) : Ecothrive - Biosys - 5 ml / pot Ecotrive - Charge - 120 ml / pot Ecothrive - Life Cycle - 60 g. / pot Ecothrive - Bio Blend - 200 ml / pot. Think this will be my standart top up, i run out of Great White, have for one top up, will do it in 2-3 waterings seperately from all. Planning to repeat same top up at begining of week 4 of flower. Girls look better without spraying, most prob burn from too intense light, despite me giving 30-60 min of reduced to minimum after spraying. From now on - only when lights off. Will apply in few days, think Saturday. Happy Growing !!!

todo muy bien! esperando paciente el desarrollo de los cogollos, conociendo y viendo los puntos de maduracion asi como la fertilizacion ajustando a su maximo que creemos posible para incentivar que los cogollos engorden, ahora en adelante les hare segumiento de la grande principalmente, que es la que cumple con la edad del diario, ya que las otras como se explico en un principio venian recien cultivadas por eso tienen un par de semanas de retraso , tambien hay una hermafrodita, que al detectar como comentamos semanas anteriores aplicamos al tecnica vista de un cultivador mexicano, consistia en romper los brotes de machos las pelotas con el fin de que no vuelvan a salir, dejando solo los pelos estigmas de las hermbras, si bien el cogollo queda maltratado, al parecer se detiene el crecimiento, asi que estamos viendo como rinde ese experimento.

04/01 (M) As stated in previous update from last week (SEE week 25 update 04/01 (M) ) - Since has been fed accordingly and rebounding accordingly. 04/01 (C) Same as above for the babies (SEE week 25 update 04/01 (M) ) - They are rebounding accordingly as well - Never get to comfortable and execution are key - 04/08 - (M) - The Mom has bounced back nicely - The nutrient feed had to be increased to supplement for when the feeder malfunctioned - Her dead leaves will be pruned this week to prep for budding. 04/08 - (C) - The babies bounced back nicely as well from the EC/PPM/PH burn - Most of their has come back and numbers are optimal thus far.

Meno piante. Non metterò la rete ma topping più varie legature per mandare in fioritura tutte alla stessa altezza.. Speriamo di non sbagliare di nuovo perché tengo particolarmente a tutti questi semi e sarà l'erba che fumero' a Natale🤶Giorno 1/8 ore 4 del mattino messo a germinare 6 semi. 2 Kosher Kush (Reserva Privada) 2 Apex R1(Ethos Genetics) 1 Banana Sundae (Cannarado Genetics) e 1 Rainbow Belts (Archive Seed Bank). Giorno 5/8 ore 4 del mattino nati tutti i semi 😊😋🖐️

Dia 56 las plantas se ven muy sanas y bien, los rebrotes empiezan a desarrollarse ya terminamos con la poda de rebrotes interiores en las ramas, ahora queda esperar que empiece la fase de floración, yo creo que en la White Noise y en la 1051 empezará antes a florecer que la glowstarz ya que sus geneticas son indicas. Estan muy grandes y se ven muy bien seguimos trabajando 💪🏼💪🏼
