🌱 GMO Cookies — Week 9 From Seed | Week 4 Flower
We’re now entering Week 4 of flower with our GMO Cookies — and things are moving fast.
Very fast.
From structure to flower formation, these girls are showing intent.
Stacking, stretching, drinking… responding.
Let’s break this week down properly.
---
## 🔬 Macro World — Why We Start Looking Closer Now
This week marks the beginning of something important:
we stop just looking… and start observing.
Macro photography allows us to step into the plant’s reality:
• Trichome heads beginning to form
• Early resin coverage on sugar leaves
• Pistils reaching, searching, multiplying
• Surface textures you don’t see with the naked eye
No stacking here — just single shots.
Finding the focus. Respecting the moment.
Some shots are clean and informative.
Others are more dramatic — shadows, contrast, emotion.
Both matter.
Because growing is not just data…
it’s also perspective.
---
## 🌿 Canopy Work — Opening Space, Not Forcing Control
This week we did a selective defoliation.
Not aggressive.
Not random.
Intentional.
One of the girls pushed hard — dense structure, limited airflow — so we opened her up slightly.
Goal:
• Improve light penetration
• Reduce microclimate buildup
• Allow lower sites to breathe
• Keep energy moving efficiently
We removed more leaves than initially expected —
but always with respect to the plant.
No stress signs after.
They accepted it well.
---
## ⚠️ Leaf Observations — Nothing Concerning
We spotted some burned leaves, mainly:
→ Under-canopy LED exposure
→ Lower zones receiving direct intensity
Important:
• Not spreading
• Not systemic
• New growth remains healthy
Color is strong.
Leaf posture is confident.
Flower sites are developing clean.
This is not a problem — just a note.
---
## 🌱 Current Environment & Feeding
The girls are eating and drinking like champions:
• 💧 ~1.7L per plant / day
• ⚡ EC: 2.4
• pH: 6.5
• 🌡️ Temp: 28°C
• 💨 RH: 60–65%
• 🌬️ CO₂: ~1000 ppm
Everything is aligned with their demand.
They’re not being pushed —
they’re being supported.
---
## 📏 Structure & Growth
• Height: ~150 cm
• Strong vertical development
• Good lateral branching
• Flower sites stacking consistently
This is the phase where structure turns into yield.
And we’re right on time.
---
## 🎥 Studio Sessions & Documentation
As always —
they stepped into the studio.
And honestly… they delivered.
From full plant portraits
to intimate macro moments —
this week gave us a full visual story.
Also introducing officially:
🎬 Mr. Baggy
More coming from him soon.
---
## 🔮 What To Expect Next Week
Week 5 will be decisive.
Expect:
• Increased bud stacking
• Resin production accelerating
• Pistils multiplying rapidly
• Stretch slowing down
• Nutrient demand stabilizing
We’ll keep observing closely — especially through macro.
Because this is where quality is defined.
---
## 🙏 Final Words
To everyone following this journey:
• The OGs
• The silent watchers
• The skeptics
• The supporters
• The new growers finding their way
Thank you.
To the platform.
To the community.
To everyone building this space with us.
This is not just a grow.
It’s a shared process.
From grower… to growers.

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.

Cactus Candy Kush wächst ganz gemütlich vor sich hin.
Diese Woche habe ich einige Ladungen in meinem Pyrolyse Ofen verfeuert und dabei Stockbrot gebacken. Ich nutze die Kohle als Zugabe beim Kompostieren. So wird sie über ein Jahr lang zigmal von Würmern zusammen mit dem Kompostmaterial gefressen und wieder ausgeschieden. Dabei reichert sich die Kohle mit Stickstoff, Mikrobiologie und vielen anderen Nährstoffen an. Der reife Kohle-Kompost hat eine besondere Fähigkeit die Pflanze mit gespeichertem Wasser und allen Nährstoffen zu versorgen, die sie während des Wachstums und der Blüte benötigt.

Well it seems like I have amnesia already with how quickly this one grew and finished, haha. I did a check with the 100x microscope and trichomes are beginning to turn translucent/milky with no amber at all. I noticed this, trimmed up some more fading leaves and got her ready for flush since I had used Beastie Bloomz and Overdrive late in the flowering phase. I need to do some more research on organic alternatives for boosters and be prepared for next time. Usually with a fully organic system there is no need for a flush because of the active rhizosphere and the breakdown of organic substances. I removed the lid containing the net pot, roots and screen that they grew through and had my girl slide a shallow tote underneath. I left an air line/stone with the roots and filled 2 gallons of RO with Clearex which is a commercial flushing agent, mostly composed of citric acid as well as a half of a tsp of Microbes in each gallon. Planning on leaving her like this for a couple days, continuously flushing by the day, pouring from the top of the net pot to fill.

Hello!
Thank you again for stopping in!
Last week was a great and exciting week. I learned a lot to say the least. Biggest lesson LESS WATER!! Haha the plants seem to be growing slower than I expected, but that could just be me rushing things along. 😅
I also added a metal grid to half of the ceiling of tent this week. The panels were only $6 each at Menards and makes hanging and organizing all the needed equipment much easier and not to mention it brings a cleanliness to the work/grow area. I highly suggest them.
Day 1 Feb 1st- no water
Day 2 Feb 2nd- Watered as needed. Approximately 15ML/plant distilled water.
Day 3 Feb 3rd- Watered each plant with 15ml Coconut water mixed at 50ml/gallon. 1 Tahoe OG is growing nicely while other one continues to yellow. Im lost for what to do to correct issue as both are in same environment?
Day 4 Feb 4th- watered 20 ml per plant. Moved two more super skunk seedlings to tent. Ordered a humidity controller so I can keep a more consistent humidity.
Day 5 Feb 5th- watered all plants with distilled water at a PH of 6.3. Flushed Tahoe OG #2... notnsure why it was yellowing when all other conditions are.same.and Tahoe OG #1 is flourishing.
Tahoe #1 60 ml
Tahoe #2 flushed 150 ml
SS #1 75 ml
SS #2 60 ml
SS #3 90 ml
SS #4 75 ml
SS #5 75 ml
SS #6 50 ml
SS #7 50 ml
SS #8 20 ml
Day 6 Feb 6th- no water today. SS #8 died. It honestly never really lived. It sprouted but no leaves ever opened. Added metal grating and humidity controller. The humidity controller is amazing.. well worth the $. It keeps my tent between 67-73 relative humidity. Will be able to dehumidify when the time comes as well. I like a clean tent as well as save. All electrical cords minus 1 are at the top of tent and the 1 is well above the water line. I know this isn't a huge deal as I self water, but better safe than sorry.
Day 7 Feb 7th- all plants got 30 ml of coconut water and a healthy foliar spray of distilled water. I've seen some good growth this week and hope to see it continue through next week. I did have one SS seedling not make it this week and one Tahoe OG hasn't shown any growth and is completely yellow/golden brown. I still have it going but not sure what to do or if there is any hope.
As always thank you for stopping in. Please like and comment so I know whose following along so I csn reciprocate the kindness. Keep growing!

It wasn't a full week
The harvest 26.3. (91day)
The last two waterings were only 4 liters of clean water.
Here are a few photos and videos from the harvest sorry about the quality, but I'm not Saudek.
This is my second grow, and I have to say it was a success. The plant has shown great potential.
I'll add more photos after the buds has dried.

The week was without adventure. I raised CO2.. Now I will give the last week of Vega and translate to flowering. It is interesting to try to give the plant CO2 from the bale from the beginning of the vegetative stage😉

Esta semana se nota el estallido de la floración. Los pistilos van cogiendo vigor y tamaño. Las flores continúan oscureciendo e incluso las hojas y sus tallos van adquiriendo ese color rojizo/púrpura. 🌿 El tallo tiene un tamaño y consistencia considerable, lo que le está permitiendo resistir algunas rachas de viento sin excesivo problemas y sin necesidad de soportes o guías (por el momento). Se perciben un poco mejor los aromas de las floración, aunque siguen siendo débil. Una ya ha alcanzado los 36cm y la otra 40cm. Seguimos aumentamos la cantidad de agua, progresivamente, según van pidiendo/necesitando las plantas.
Sigo intentando no utilizar ningún tipo de "ayuda extra", salvo la tierra enriquecida de @BioBizz All-Mix donde están plantadas. Así que por ahora; agua mineral, luz solar, mucha paciencia y mucho amor!🤞😍

Hallo zusammen! 👋🍑
Auch meine Apricots entwickeln sich in Woche 10 genau in die Richtung, die ich mir erhofft hatte. Von Woche zu Woche werden die Veränderungen deutlicher und langsam beginnt die eigentliche Magie der Blütephase.
Die Pflanzen haben in den letzten Tagen sichtbar an Masse gewonnen. Besonders die Hauptcolas werden immer kompakter und beginnen sich Stück für Stück zu verdichten. Gleichzeitig legen auch die zahlreichen Seitentriebe ordentlich zu, wodurch überall gleichmäßig schöne Blüten entstehen.
Besonders beeindruckt mich in dieser Woche die Harzentwicklung. Die Sugar Leaves sind mittlerweile nahezu komplett mit Trichomen überzogen und die Blüten bekommen diesen wunderschönen frostigen Look, der von Woche zu Woche intensiver wird. Man merkt, dass die Pflanzen jetzt ihre Energie voll auf die Blütenproduktion konzentrieren.
Trotz des wechselhaften Wetters entwickeln sich die Apricots weiterhin ausgesprochen stabil. Die Blattfarbe ist gesund, das Wachstum bleibt kräftig und die Blüten schieben täglich neue Kelche nach. Dadurch werden die Colas immer massiver und gewinnen kontinuierlich an Volumen.
Ich bin außerdem sehr zufrieden mit der Struktur der Pflanzen. Durch das Training gelangt ausreichend Licht bis in die unteren Bereiche, sodass selbst kleinere Budsites hervorragend mitwachsen. Genau das sorgt dafür, dass sich nicht nur die Spitzen, sondern nahezu die komplette Pflanze gleichmäßig entwickelt.
Auch der Duft verändert sich inzwischen deutlich. Beim Berühren der Blüten bleibt ein intensives, süß-fruchtiges Aroma an den Fingern zurück, das bereits jetzt Lust auf die Ernte macht.
Jetzt beginnt die spannendste Phase des gesamten Grows. In den kommenden Wochen werden die Blüten weiter anschwellen, die Trichomproduktion wird noch einmal deutlich zunehmen und ich bin gespannt, welches Potenzial die Apricots bis zur Ernte noch entfalten werden.
Ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Update und wünsche euch allen weiterhin eine erfolgreiche Grow-Saison! 💚🌱
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone! 👋🍑
My Apricots are continuing to develop beautifully in Week 10, and every new update makes the progress even more noticeable. The flowering stage is now entering one of the most exciting periods.
Over the past week the plants have gained noticeable size and density. The main colas are becoming thicker and more compact, while the numerous side branches continue stacking flowers, creating a very even canopy filled with healthy bud sites.
The biggest highlight this week is definitely the resin production. The sugar leaves are now heavily coated with trichomes, giving the buds a beautiful frosty appearance that becomes more impressive every day. It's clear that the plants are now directing most of their energy into flower production.
Despite the changing outdoor conditions, the plants continue to perform extremely well. The foliage remains healthy, growth is vigorous, and fresh calyxes continue forming throughout the flowers. As a result, the colas are steadily becoming denser and gaining more weight week after week.
I'm also very happy with the overall plant structure. Thanks to the training, plenty of light reaches the lower branches, allowing even the smaller bud sites to develop into well-formed flowers instead of remaining underdeveloped. This creates a much more balanced plant with quality buds throughout the entire canopy.
Another thing I've really started to notice is the aroma. Every time I inspect the flowers, they release an increasingly rich sweet and fruity scent that already gives a small preview of what the final harvest might offer.
The most exciting stage of this grow is just beginning. Over the coming weeks the buds should continue swelling, resin production will increase even further, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how much these Apricots can still develop before harvest.
Thanks for following along, and I wish everyone a fantastic growing season! 💚🌱

Deutsch:
Tag 56 Grow
Tag 2 Blüte:
Viel Zeit ist vergangen, und die Ladies haben sich – bis auf einige gelbe Blattspitzen – von ihrem Stress und dem Training erholt.
Am letzten Tag der Vegetationsphase wurde ein „Compost Tea“ angesetzt. Für 25 Liter wurden 125 ml Bio-Melasse, 250 ml Bodenhilfsstoff, 50 g Mykorrhiza-Granulat, 2 Liter Wurmhumus und 75 g Knochenpulver verwendet. Die Mischung wurde unter Sauerstoffzufuhr 24 Stunden lang belüftet. Die vermeintlichen Vorteile dieses Tees sind im Internet ausführlich beschrieben.
Der VPD wird in den Wochen der frühen Blüte weiterhin zwischen 1,0 und 1,2 gehalten. Das entspricht aktuell etwa 24 °C bei 61 % relativer Luftfeuchtigkeit. Der CO₂-Wert liegt zwischen 650 und 850 ppm. Das Licht wird während der Stretch-Phase schrittweise auf 100 % erhöht (aktuell 90 %, ca. 850 PPFD).
Da im Zelt noch Heizstäbe installiert sind, wird auf ein SCROG-Netz verzichtet.
Tag 59 Grow
Tag 5 Blüte:
Unglaublich! ich musste die Lampe in den letzen Tagen insg. 15cm hocher stellen um die gewollten 30 cm Abstand einzuhalten. Den Unterschied sieht man auch deutlich auf den Bildern mit der Gelbtafel als Orientierungspunkt. Die Lampe ist mittlerweile auf 97% ca 900 ppfd - auch das CO2 wurde entsprechend auf 750-900 ppm erhöht. Da die Ladies sich augenscheinlich sehr über den "Compost-Tea" gefreut haben, habe ich erneut einen aufgesetzt. Das bekannte Rezept von Tag 2 wurde verwendet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 56 – Grow
Day 2 – Flowering Phase:
A significant amount of time has passed, and the plants have recovered from stress and training, except for a few yellow leaf tips.
On the last day of the vegetative phase, a compost tea was prepared. For 25 liters, 125 ml of organic molasses, 250 ml of soil conditioner, 50 g of mycorrhiza granules, 2 liters of worm castings, and 75 g of bone meal were used. The mixture was aerated with oxygen for 24 hours. The alleged benefits of this tea are widely described online.
VPD will be maintained between 1.0 and 1.2 during the early flowering weeks. This currently corresponds to approximately 24 °C at 61% relative humidity. CO₂ levels are kept between 650 and 850 ppm. During the stretch phase, light intensity is gradually increased to 100% (currently 90%, approximately 850 PPFD).
Since heating rods are installed inside the tent, a SCROG net will not be used.
Day 59 – Grow
Day 5 – Flowering Phase:
Incredible! Over the past few days, I had to raise the lamp by a total of 15 cm to maintain the desired 30 cm distance. The difference is also clearly visible in the photos, using the yellow sticky trap as a reference point. The lamp is now set to 97% (approximately 900 PPFD), and CO₂ has been increased accordingly to 750–900 ppm.
Since the plants appeared to respond very positively to the compost tea, another batch has been prepared. The same recipe used on day 2 was applied again.

This girl is smelling better every day and looking prettier too. I gave her what is supposed to be her last dose of food last night and now i begin the 2 week water only flush. Interestingly like ALL the pistils are still white. Im starting to wonder if shes actually gonna be done in 2 weeks. My timing sucks i have my autos only getting 12 hours of light because they are on her schedule. I hate when my grows become unorganized. Ive also got a bunch of clones im not really sure what im doing with lol ill put some pics of those in too. Happy growing everyone

Day 9. All is running very nice. Happy with light performace a lot.
Girls missed wind a bit, but i cant make it faster, because of neighbours and sound, so i took humidity dome away.
TSL2000 runs 40 cm away and on 40% output.
Girls get daily shower , try to keep some wet cloth to maintain humidity.
Day 12. Thats the happy f@cker in video ;))))
Happy Growing !!!

Welcome to Day 8 things are going very well so far the plants are taking on a lot of height and mass for only one week's growth. Not a whole lot to talk about really early stages of growth really not much happens. I will say that I've transitioned to a completely Advanced Nutrients feeding system for this week
Day 9 transplanted the girls into their final five gallon pots root development is extremely well for literally just over one week into veg
Day 10 the girls have clearly recovered very well from transplant there are growing strong and healthy
Welcome to day 14 last day of the week I decided to micro top as the ladies were ready. We were at the 4th node that's typically when I make her top at this point I'm not sure how many toppings I'm going to do but I don't want the plans becoming too large for the tent by doing too many tops
