This has been such an incredible learning experience, back in December a friend and I got bored and decided to build a tent with some scraps in my garage and a single CFL in a reptile heat lamp 🤦‍♂️and try and grow the seeds I had been sitting on for a few years. The cfl broke almost immediately and poor little lato spent the first few days of her life in the dark waiting for a cheap led from Amazon. At the beginning of this grow we had no idea what we were doing and honestly no faith we could grow anything but mid bud but it was just abt the experience. Both of us spent most of our days researching and learning about cannabis and organic growing. We ended up deciding on a small company called Dragonfly earth medicine and used their full line of bacteria based nutes/supplements (radiant green, fat flowers, brilliant black, lush roots and natural Mystik) to make teas with worm castings and molasses. I wet trimmed a couple nugs just to see what I prefer seeing as I’ve never done this before. Got everything hung up in her tent with the exhaust fan on the lowest setting. Hopefully everything goes well. I know I started this diary late but thank you guys for all the support if you have any questions or feel like I’m missing anything feel free to reach out.

One more week passed and this girl´s showing very strong and a fast developing.. Everything is under the plan, i will transplant to a 7 liter pot in the next days.. 💪🌱🌱✌️

Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Flowering Plants)- This week both Raspberry Ripple phenos in the flower room, began to build their nugs! I was very impressed at how quickly they both began to form nugs, I noticed the flowering begining on day 11! The number 2 Pheno is looking average and she didn't fill out the trellis net quite as good her sister strain, however she seems to be going strong! The number 1 Pheno is really impressing me, it really filled out it's canopy and sports branches and a stalk nearly twice as thick as the number 2. It has also already began to form purple flower. Any pictures of the flowers that I've seen from this Mosca (x) Tiki Madman colab online, have been rich, purple phenotypes with chunky nugs; so I welcome the purple flowers. I suppose the increased anthocyanin production in the number 1 Pheno could be stress related, from the stalk split or the other accident it had in the veg tent, that knocked a branch off. However this plant seems very happy praying every day since the flip! So it doesn't worry me as much as it could! I went ahead and gave a little more top dress Build a Flower to get them through the stacking/ bulking phase. I prefer a "less is more" approach in the smaller pots im currently using so I amend less quantity but more frequently throughout flower. Ive got the lights up to 80% power (320 Watts) Stay tuned, I have a feeling these nugs are about to 🚀 Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Clones)- The Number One Pheno's clones have all been topped. The Number 2's will probably be topped next week; when they are about 10-12 inches tall. I've been getting good branch growth on the number 1s since topping. I've still been alternating Silica by Cutting Edge Solutions and Microbe feed (Fish Sh!t and Trinity from Roots Organic) every other watering. My grow-bro who took a clone from one of each phenotype, has been reporting the ripples are going crazy in his full cycle mushroom naturally soil as well.

Seguimos ultima semana con alimentacion de estas nenas, esperando ansiado por lograr esas frutas No olvidar que tenemos 3 nenas en un armario y 1 en otro armario Al día 43 haremos raleo masivo y sacaremos nuevamente gran mayoria de las hojas abanico En Instagram @chocolopeison , pueden ver seguimiento diario de estas nenas! Saludos

This week I Supercrop all the plants and spred them out over both lights. One more week of Veg and they are ready to explode Check me out on Instagram @growmorestressless

Well here we are at the beginning of a new week for Margie. Friday Sep 17 Day 50 -No water -Really not a whole lot to say today -Keep on keepin’ on -Grow Day 51 -Feed 2 gallons 62.5 PPM aerated tap water -Add cal mag up to 329 PPM -Add Grow up to 1270 PPM -Feed 2 gallons 6.09 PH - 1270 PPM -Runoff 1.5 L 5.61 PH - 2990 PPM -Not much more to say for today -Grow Day 52 -No water -Responding well to yesterday’s feed -Few fan leaves are not so hot but they’re getting defoliated soon anyway -Just grow Margie Day 53 -No water -Just a regular grow day with not much more to say about that Day 54 -No water -She’s growing well -Still have time and room to develop -Not much more to say for today Day 55 -No water -Continued defoliation and a few strategic toppings to shape my plant for future growth -I’m abandoning my original plan for Margie -Changing gears here Day 56 -No water -Recovering from yesterday’s abuse -Not much more to say for today So this is it for this week. Come check out to see what next week has in store!!

I love the sativa shaped nug-towers! When my plants grow big, I like to grow them until the very end of their cycle! That's why the extended flower period. Video of Measurement of yield: T=Tops(92grams), M=Mids(59.1 grams), L=Lowers(58.6grams) Total: 209.7 grams (1-2 grams worth, was taste-tested prior to scaling.)

This is the sixth week of flowering. The plants feel really nice. Their water consumption increased, so I have to water them three times a week. First time I give them nutrients, the other two times I only give them fresh water. This week I gave them Green Sensation by Plagron. This is the first time I am experimenting with this additive. The lights are still at 80%+ sunlight simulation is on.

Day 78 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 BBlue dream went faster then orange, buds are fattest and looks to be ready in max 1 week. Keep giving ph controlled water, 2 lt every 3 days, water looks really cleaner. Let’s seee!!!! 🌱🌱🌱

Day 44 of vegetation cycle. No ferts used so far.

Frohes neues Jahr an Alle. Die Pflanzen befinden sich nun in der 9. Woche und Alles läuft soweit nach Plan. Ab heute gibt's nur noch ph regulieres wasser Mit melasse und bio enhancer. Ich denke in 1-2 Wochen ist es soweit und die babys können geerntet werden.

Empezamos la semana con buen pie. Las plantas están preciosas.

Wish I had the room to setup my scrog right now; plant would be perfect for it ; but ima see what I can push out of her 🤟

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
