Onlygrow99 Starting a new grow diary for GBSTRAINS specifically, it's Cereal Milk, White Truffles, Chocoolokies, and Apple&Bazookies.
For substrate, I'm using the Light Mix from GBNUTRIENTS, which combines blonde peat, coconut fiber, and perlite.
The nutrient brand is BOOM Nutrients, specifically the organic range.
Germination started on Tuesday 10/10/23 using the tupperware technique with a damp paper towel; after 48 hours, they were transferred to 1L pots.
It's been 5 days, and all of them have sprouted from the soil, showing the cotyledons and in some cases, the first true leaves.

Onlygrow99 It's been 13 days since they started germinating, today 10/23/23 we begin counting the first week of growth.
I've used ROOTS and GROW from BOOM nutrients.
I already have 2 or 3 that I'm about to discard, they have some deformities and aren't growing as fast, we'll wait another week.

Onlygrow99 Well, today we kick off the 2nd week of growth on 30/10/23.
The seeds went into the container on 10/10/23, which means we’ve been germinating for 20 days.
During this week, they will all be transplanted, and we’ll leave the 3rd week of growth to recover from the stress. In the 4th week, we’ll do some pruning.
I plan to put up 1 scrog net as a guide, like the stakes at half the height of the plant.
**UPDATE 30/10** Transplant is progressing, more photos added this week.
**UPDATE 03/11** Transplant completed. As soon as we finish this 2nd week of growth, we’ll prune the lower parts and do a little defoliation.
I have to say, the organic range from BOOM NUTRIENTS excites me; the plants look green, healthy, and the roots are just crazy.

Onlygrow99 We are starting the 3rd week of growth. During this week, I will prune the lower branches and some nodes. After a few days of recovery, we will move to flowering.
They started germinating on 10/10/23, so we are 27 days in since germination began.
Today, they are being watered with 1.5 EC and 6.0 pH, using the range of organic fertilizers from Boom Nutrients and CALMAG. The substrate I'm using is the LIGHT MIX from GBNUTRIENTS.
They are bushy with large leaves, very short internodes, and they are also green. You can tell the light is doing its job without overheating, which is why I have it close to the plants to prevent them from "stretching."
**Update 08/11** I have pruned the lower branches of all the plants and some large leaves that were covering the formations.
In 2-3 days for them to recover, we will move to flowering.

Onlygrow99 We started today, Monday 13/11, the flowering stage; I've already switched them to 12/12 and watered them with Organic Bloom from BOOM NUTRIENTS.
We'll give them 8 weeks of flowering, more or less, so by early January, if everything goes well, we'll harvest.
**Update 15/11/23 with more detailed photos of how they're growing, how big the leaves are getting, and how green they are.

There's one defoliation left to do and it will be during this week, maybe Wednesday.
Update 11/22: there are already 17 plants defoliated and with the branch shoots removed.
Update 11/24: all defoliated and with the branch shoots removed.
Now no more stress, good watering, and music.

Onlygrow99 On Monday, 11/27, we kick off the 3rd week of flowering.
Today I finished putting up the 2nd scrog net to guide the plants; I just set them up for support so the plants feel well secured and can focus on producing.
Only one of the twenty plants hasn't started flowering yet; it's struggling. Can you see it?
From here on and for another 5 or 6 weeks, I won't touch them at all. Just good watering and 0 stress so they can produce lots of flowers.

Onlygrow99 We're starting the 4th week of flowering and we've just done the last 3 light waterings with low EC because I see several that are very green, a very dark color, I think they're a bit overdone.
This week we'll go back to the normal doses, plus we'll add some mycorrhizae one last time to improve the substrate.
I've already put the UV lights to emulate sunlight as much as possible so the plant feels well taken care of.

Onlygrow99 We're starting the 5th week of flowering and gradually increasing the EC, we're now at 1.9.
The plants are eating like never before, we also have the UV lights on in our 780w ResinX LED panel from GBLIGHTING, I hope I can keep up to feed them.
I'm still using the organic range from Boom Nutrients and I've also added the Resin BOOM and Delta BOOM.
We're in the full fattening phase and I've also started using BIG BOOM to help those buds grow big.

Onlygrow99 We're already starting the 6th week of flowering for these plants from GBSTRAINS.
They're taking on mostly purple tones due to the cold they're experiencing, with lows of 16º and watering around 14º.
A fish tank heater is on its way to provide the plants with warmer water and make them more comfortable so they can produce prettier flowers.
Most of them already have trichomes in an advanced state of maturity, with more than 50% being milky.
I estimate I'll harvest these plants in 3 more weeks.

Onlygrow99 Friends, we're already in the 7th week of flowering, it feels like just yesterday when we were doing the transplant... time flies, it's been 78 days since we started germinating.
Well, we have 20 plants 2 weeks away from entering the root washing phase, all of them are still green, none show chlorosis or are shedding leaves... they still have many days of fattening left... I love it.
I've left some macro photos to see the trichomes, in most of the plants there are about 65% milky trichomes and the rest are clear, I've even seen some amber heads, the moment is approaching. :D

Onlygrow99 We're starting the 8th week of flowering for these 20 plants.
They began to germinate on 10/10/23 and will be harvested in the week of January 15 to 21, 2024.
I will start with the root washing on the weekend of 01/12.
What a delight as the harvest day approaches... so much joy!

Onlygrow99 Final stretch for these plants. We're starting the root wash and will be cutting them down day by day.
They started germinating on 10/10/23.
The max EC has been 2.100, and we started with a base EC from the first days, at 0.6.
Seeds from GBSTRAINS with fertilizers from BOOM NUTRIENTS under the 780W ResinX LED light from GBLIGHTING and with soil from GBNUTRIENTS.
Planta de tamaño medio, frondosa con nudos cortos y mucha resina.

Onlygrow99 The 5 White Truffles look shiny, clean, and full of trichomes.
This one in particular is the most productive, the one that has produced the most buds.
The colors of this specimen vary in a range of dark greens and purples with reddish tones.
Its aroma is thick and earthy with a hint of sweetness and very easy to smoke. The ash is white.
Una planta vigorosa y alta, la mas alta del cultivo llegando a 1.70 cm de altura.
Todas han salido moradas ayudadas por el frio, llenas de cogollos super super duros y compactos.
El olor es a fruta horneada.

Onlygrow99 The hardest and most cannabinoid-rich buds I've ever grown.
It's incredible how these apple bazookies have produced. All 5 are the same, this tight.
4 chocolookies se pusieron y salieron las 4.
Una planta algo mas pequeña que el resto y por lo general menos productiva, ahora es si, llena de cannabinoides maduros.
Deseando probar estos ejemplares, huelen como a calentito, no se explicarlo.

Onlygrow99 Well, it's been 4 plants like this, full of cannabinoids and flowers.
Can't wait to try it like I mentioned up there, since I've never smelled a plant like this.
