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. 🌱

I switched her to ph water yesterday. She has a good cloudy trichromes with just a few amber started. So in roughly a week she should be right about where I want to try it at. She still has some flower, even though I messed her up in vegging. I have been having issues across the board here, and there on different plants. Beside that she smells good, and good trichrome layer. I am just letting her finish up, and will harvest on next update. Thank you Medic Grow, Athena, and Fast Buds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g If anyone needs to purchase fastbuds here is a link for my affiliate program https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=60910eaff2419

Good little week. Bit early posting but that's ok. Been finding the new growth in coming in a bit lighter shade of green then darkening up. Measured the height of them as well and last few weeks I had not updated that part. Started some new Dill as I ate all the other stuff and started some Chives too, got this stuff shipped in from Poland right as the postal strike happened in Canada so it was sitting around somewhere for a good month and a bit. Excited to try this dill as its said to be supper dilly and its essential oil content is to be stronger then other varieties. I think its true as I could smell the seeds though the international packaging. The chives I saw had three varieties and did not know they existed so I got all 3 to try out and see what ones I like best. Jemna, Erecta and Perga, The site said Prega are early and have a sharp taste to them, Erecta is mind and delicate with upright growth and the Jemna are thick and juicy. Added in some BSM to this grow as I feel the soil life is extra hungry with all the other microbe boosters and things going into the mix, also gave it a bit of Mg from Epsom salts as its kinda low in the products and don't want it running out in stretch. then topped it all off with some fish, Still looks to be having some N tox but getting better. I cleared up some leaves that where touching the soil line as I don't like that. and some others fell off when I was cleaning the tent. Don't have pics of the mini plants, CBG and CBDv but they are doing good as well. impressed with their size in the small pot. The one GTR THCv is still having issues but drank a good amount of its water, so it got a half amount to keep it happy. Hopefully in the next week or two it will be on par with the others. Found some more gnats in the fan blades but nothing infesting the pots after adding nematodes. And one of the leaves from the corner CANUK CBD plant looked a bit spotted like mite bites but I don't think that's was it id as I can not find any on the underside or webs and it was only isolated on that one leaf. But will keep an eye out for the little 2dot fuckers. I think that's it.

So far things are going well. Bloom has started and already seeing purple/pink hues on the buds. Will be back to update properly just posting up a few pictures before i forget. Check out the YouTube channel. Water change at day 31 and pH'd the water to 5.8. I also got a new RO 4 stage water filter for the best water quality for the girls so ill be using that on the next water change. The smell is sweet in the tent. All seems to be going ok. Day 34 - The girls seem happy enough, a few colder nights than needed but all in all, happy with there progress.

She's growing well lately. Buds are getting dense, not many trichomes yet. Pistils are changing though so another few weeks to go I think, maybe 3 weeks..... The other two got harvested during the week so she has a much more room to spread out now 😍 👍

5/28 Hairs are appearing on Gaia but not on Circe or others. I had an issue with the ventilation shutting off during a thunderstorm and did not fix it until the next morning. the tent temperature was 78f with RH 100% yikes. 5/30 water and feeding. Gaia is showing yellow spots and some gnarling or curling on a few of the same leaves in the middle of the plant. I think it is cal-mag deficiency based on reading. Since the deficiency appears in the middle of the plant (4 nodes below the top growth) above this is not showing the same damage, it may have been corrected. If anyone reading this has comments regarding this deficiency, please share. See pictures. Due to the growth by Gaia and Circe, I took the crates out and put them on the floor of the tent. I left Cream Caramel & Gelato 41 on their crates because they are less than 8 inches tall. 6/1 still heavy, more leaf tucking on Gelato. 6/2 Today's schedule is busy, busy with water, feed, measure, and pictures. Added cal-mag to the TPS1 just to make sure the problem doesnt return. During this week, Both CBG's had some stretch Gaia 5/27 14.5. 5/31 21' 6/2 24" Circe 5/27 11.5 5/31 18" 6/2 22" Wow 😗both grew over 10 inches this week. Comparison on the difference on fabric pots and air pots: Using a soil probe. Gaia's soil was the driest in the air pot ( also the biggest so I would expect more consumption). Circe in fabric was drier than the other gals in the tent. They are much smaller plants so they drink less water than either CBG plants. Gelato (Lst)was slightly moist. It could be tent placement and less water is evaporating from her. Her lst progress is photograghed in week 8 cannabis links. I gave each plant 2 liter of water with food. Some water drained into the pot tray except for Circe, so I added some water in the bottom of her tray to allow for wicking. Next week Gaia will be in flower and Circe will start pre flower. No signs of flower formation on the other two,

7. Woche Tjoa es geht langsam voran, mittlerweile habe ich sie in etwa so, wie ich sie haben möchte. Denke sie switcht demnächst in die Bloom, dann hat sie jetzt 4x Topping hinter sich. Ich habe es leider beim 2. mal verkackt, weswegen es am Ende sogar 4 Topps geworden sind. Aber dafür hat sie sich gut gehalten. Sie bekommt jetzt noch ein bisschen Training und dann bin ich gespannt, ob sie zur Bloom richtig explodiert oder so klein bleibt, wir werden sehen 🤷🏻‍♂️🤭 Komm mir schon fast so vor, als würde ich mit ner Photo arbeiten, da ich sie solange in der Veg halten kann 😉😅😄 Ich habe gestern btw irgendwelches Viechzeug auf den unteren Blättern entdeckt aber ich glaube die kamen daher, dass die Blätter immer wieder Bodenkontakt hatten. Weswegen ich sie dann so Nackt gemacht habe. Zur Entwarnung, der Rest des Raumes ist Clean soweit ich das beurteilen kann. Ich werde das mal weiter beobachten 😊 Update zu den Viechern: Entwarnung, sind entweder Nützlinge oder Trauermücken Larven. Konnte noch keine Zuname an Trauermücken auf den Gelbtafeln feststellen 🤷🏻‍♂️

Tag 70 : Die 4. Blütewoche beginnt. Die Shogun wächst prächtig. Die Zweige in der Mitte sind kerzengerade gewachsen, nur die 4 Zweige in den Ecken muss ich stützen. Sie besitzt unglaublich viel Blütenansätze 😍 Ich habe sogar noch ein paar cm für die Lampe 😎 Alles in allem ist die Dame ausgesprochen pflegeleicht 😘

Welcome to Week 5! Mother Nature decided to test us a little bit this week. The sun hasn't been showing its face nearly as much, and the nighttime temperatures took a dip down to a chilly 10°C, along with some on-and-off rain showers. Resilience & Care: 🌧️ Despite the less-than-ideal weather conditions, the ladies took it all in stride and have continued to develop beautifully. I’m still keeping up with the LST on the trained plants, adjusting as needed to keep the canopy wide and even. As for the roots, they are staying happy—I’m maintaining a steady watering schedule of about twice a week. The Magic Moment: 🌸 The absolute highlight of the week: most of the plants have officially shifted gears and entered the flowering stage! You can definitely spot those early signs of bloom in the pictures. It’s always the most exciting phase of the grow when they finally start transitioning. Current Standings: 📏 Lemon Cherry Cookies: Still the undisputed giant of the group, towering over the rest at an impressive 60cm! Letting her grow naturally without LST has turned her into a real beast. The Rest: Amnesia Haze, Banana Purple Punch, and Bruce Banner are all sitting nicely right around the 40cm mark. They are looking thick, bushy, and ready to stack some buds! Fingers crossed that the sun makes a strong comeback next week to help fuel this flowering stretch.
