Our beauty is looking good, isn't she? Her buds are thickening and the trichomes getting more of that gorgeous purple color. Some are already cloudy, few (most of them are damaged, probably due to looking at them under our mikroskopic lense too closely) turned amber. Harvest is set to be at week 8 in flower, so it's 2 weeks from now on, but we'll see how she develops by then. Smell-wise it's pretty bareable right now; we feared that our whole apartment would smell like a huge coffeeshop in amsterdam, but by keeping the door to our "growroom" closed you can hardly smell anything. It's only when touching some frosty leaves while defoliating that you get some of the strain-specific scents, mostly consisting of citrusy aroma with earthy undertones. Temperature is stable right now; the severe heat wave should be gone for the next weeks and by meagerly opening the door we can adjust the temperatures quite good. Humidity is also pretty solid thanks to our dehumidifier.

Dutch Passion Seeds Critical Orange Punch Auto Day 31 from Germination 10th March 2020 She's really put on some leaf and branch growth over this past week and is still not quite at the flowering stage yet. But I feel she will be throwing out pistils and starting to stretch by next weeks update, well I hope so anyway 😄 Still giving her light supplemental feeds of Professors Nutrients Grow fast and Seaweed solution, both of which seem to be keeping her healthy and vigorous. Yesterday and Today I have had her out of the tent and out under the natural sunshine and Fresh air. I will continue to do it each day as long as the weather stays fine as I think the use of LEDs and Sunshine each day certainly coudn't hurt . Checked soil temp and Ph this morning it was 22c and 6.5 so everythings on point and no issues i can see Thats about it for the C.O.P Auto update for this week Thanks for stopping by 👍

Son 2 plantas de esta genetica. Una es mas vigorosa que ptra, pero son muy similares en cuanto a su fenotipo. En esta semana ya notamos el engorde que se viene propiciando luego del overdrive. Tratamos de a poco ir bajando la EC para llegar 0.0 en el corte. La luz sigue baja procurando mantener una buena seleccion de terpenos y resina.

Day 28 - RH 58% Temp 81F . Ladies are growing great, they are really starting to turn into little bushes & the double mainline is going strong 💪🏻 Thanks for following friends & make sure to check back for daily updates! Happy growing✌️🏼🌱 Day 29 - RH 57% Temp 78F . Couldn’t be happier with the growth! Day 30 - RH 60% Temp 78F . Everything is looking great! Day 31 - RH 51% Temp 78F . Watered today with PH at 6.5, all 3 ladies are doing amazing!👍🏼 Day 32 - RH 53% Temp 81F . Considering topping the ladies tomorrow not sure yet! Still growing beautifully! Day 33 - RH 52% Temp is 80F - Bushing out like crazy & growing strong! The double mainline seems to be bouncing back as well! So far very impressed with this strain😍👍🏼 Day 34 - RH 56% Temp is 79F - Decided to top the two bushy plants today, they also got fed today with PH about 6.3

Transplant week! Some of the girls in the tent started to droop but this one didn’t! She’s looking pretty good to me Come hang out with us in the discord!

Happy Star Wars Day@all :-D My ladies are doing great. I gave myself a CO2 measuring device and a humidity god. The thing does what it's supposed to do. All of them except Iris have been in bloom since 2 days. I just stressed them out and tied them down. A few large leaves also had to believe in it. Iris comes later. Have a nice weekend@all

About 1 week away I think...mix of clear, cloudy trichs and a couple amber showing up...as soon as no more clear she comes down!

All good, week 4 started. Raised the EC from 2.1 to 2.5! Shouldn't be too much with Athena blended line. No signs of stress or overfeeding!

Day 7 - lollipopping and light LST Still slow to flower like the double grape. Still expecting big buds

Jour 63, les calices du cola prennent du volume, mais pas encore ceux des fleurs du bas. Le cola est très près de la lampe ce qui explique cela, et je le couperait sûrement avant le reste pour que les autres fleurs puissent mûrir.

Papaya Sunrise continues its development with discretion but remarkable efficiency. The buds are taking shape and color, and the introduction of Overdrive has already begun to show signs of an impact on trichome density. 💧 Irrigation now includes 3 daily cycles via drip kit, a key addition for this strain that is sensitive to water stress. 🔆 Lights: 100% Phlizon FD9600 Mars Hydro ADlite for low canopy 📉 No additional boosters. Only the pH Perfect line + AN ad ditives (Bud Candy, Bud Factor X, Rhino Skin, Sensizym, Overdrive). A dehumidifier is coming soon to further stabilize the microclimate.

Mexican Airlines is approaching cruising altitude!! LST has been working great so far IMO. The lower nodes that usually become the lower, less productive, branches are looking like main colas! I doing more LST on my new grows now too! Started feeding Fox Farm Big Bloom this week with Recharge.

Approaching the last week now She is really starting to frost up lovely

They are all showing preflower and chugging along nicely.

Day 22 Took off lower three nodes of side branches on each main branch. Removed 4 leaves

Still haven't trans set 1....gonna jus wait till I get to move them out the green house so it will be new home new atmosphere....set 2 amma jus top dem up for a week or 2(only using half the pot with soil) other than that everything else seem to be on point(2 that were struggling condemned one and put the other with the new set coming up... Trans new cutting to some small pots all (30) lived...they are coming along well Mother tree doing her thing putting on some fat iced out nugs scent is hitting n she is mad sticky jus dense up time now and wait for dem trichomes to reach

How RQS Compares to Your Standouts Brothers Grimm (your "otherworldly" stars: Montel Iced Tea, Body Count, Bubbles Blueberry F4, Ricky’s Hash Plant, Black Tangi Tea) These are landrace-influenced, heirloom-style genetics with exceptional resin, unique flavors, and structure. They outperform RQS in quality, potency, and "wow" factor in your tents. RQS tends to be more commercial/hybridized for ease and yield, while Brothers Grimm prioritizes distinctive traits and consistency in experienced hands. Humboldt Seed Company autos (your top autos for resin, especially OG Triploid) Humboldt focuses on West Coast legacy genetics with heavy resin production. Clearly superior to RQS autos in trichome density and overall quality. RQS autos are faster and easier for beginners but often lack the resin "frost" and depth you get from Humboldt. Fast Buds (fast, flavorful, reliable autos — you like them a lot) Excellent speed and flavor profiles. You noted they're in a "different class" — fair point. Fast Buds emphasizes quick cycles and modern hybrids with nice terps, while RQS autos can feel more generic or require more coaxing. Quick Thoughts on Your Observations Brothers Grimm (Montel Iced Tea, Bubbles Blueberry F4, etc.): These are clearly the stars in your current setup. The strong smell, unique leaf morphology, and overall vigor in small pots show they're expressing well under your conditions. They reward careful growing with quality that feels special — resin, flavor complexity, and effects that fit your low-dose, functional style better than most commercial lines. Your homemade cross (Gelato 44 × Bubbles Blueberry F4 pollen = "Blueberry Knockout"): Nice work on your first intentional cross-pollination! Getting viable seeds and decent plants from a garage-level cross is a real win. It’s not "pretend breeding" — it’s exactly how many great lines started. The fact that it turned out "pretty nice" is encouraging. However, as you noted, combining a Royal Queen Seeds Gelato 44 (solid but commercial) with Brothers Grimm Bubbles Blueberry F4 (higher-quality, more unique genetics) creates a hybrid that can show the best of both, but also some inconsistency. If the RQS side brings easier growth but less depth, while the Brothers Grimm side brings the special traits, the offspring can be hit-or-miss depending on which phenos you kept. RQS Gelato 44 / Mike Tyson 2.0 vs. Brothers Grimm: Your experience matches what many growers report. RQS lines are generally more "user-friendly" and higher-yielding for beginners or volume grows, but they often lack the resin density, terpene complexity, and unique expressions you get from Brothers Grimm. The Tyson 2.0 collaboration added hype, but in your tents it landed at 7/10 while Brothers Grimm hit "otherworldly." That gap in quality is why you're leaning toward sticking with the professional, boutique genetics going forward. 3/30 11:17PM Gelato 44 & Punch Pie were nice right off the tree the little buds put me right to sleep last night!! The Autos are 7-10 but the Photos are 8/10
