Tag 74: Die Fat Banana hat sich doch mehr gestreckt als ich erwartet hatte. Morgen werde ich sie noch etwas entlauben, und hoffen das sie sich nicht noch mehr streckt, platz für die Lampe ist nicht mehr.😬 Tag 75: Leider musste ich die Fat Banana mittig toppen sonst wären die Spitzen zu dicht an der Lampe, ich hoffe sie verträgt es😨 Und gründlich unterhalb entlauben war nötig.

2 plants made it to harvest. Small nugs, about an ounce per plant dry. A lot of frosty trim and small nugs I’ll be using for hash later. I had rooting issue when I flipped to flower that definitely negatively effected nutrient uptake. Small yield but quality is good. Smells almost like a sugary jelly bakery. Cured for a week, tastes sweet almost.

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

This was the second seed of Fruity Pebbles auto I dropped from ILGM. The first seed was a slow sprouter. I thought it was not gonna go, and it finally did. So now I got 2. Thank you ILGM. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Strains: Zamnesia – Strawberry Cough | Kalini Asia | Permanent Marker Grow Type: Indoor Plants: 3 Pot Size: 16 Gallon & 13 Gallon Medium: Coco Coir & Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena Week 3 Flower Update We’re into week 3 now and everything is running smooth. Stretch is pretty much wrapping up and they’ve settled into flower nicely. The buds are starting to bulk up and form properly, and you can see things coming together across all three plants. I’m still going through and cleaning up fan leaves here and there, mainly the ones blocking light from hitting the bud sites. Just keeping everything open so the lower sites can get some light and develop properly. No issues to report they’re feeding well, looking healthy, and just doing their thing. This is the stage where it starts getting exciting watching them stack up. Feeding Volume: 6L pH: 6.0 PPM: 1000–1100 ppm Frequency: As needed Indoor Climate Conditions (Flowering) 🌡️ Temperature: 26°C day / 18°C night 💧 Humidity: 45–50% 📈 VPD: ~1.3–1.5 kPa Now the real stacking begins 🔥🌿

📸 Die Strawberry Banana von Fastbuds hat sich in der zweiten Blütewoche gut eingependelt. Man sieht deutlich den Stretch, der nun langsam in die Blütenproduktion übergeht. Die Pflanze steht stabil, die Struktur ist offen und lässt überall genug Licht an die Ansätze. Das Blattwerk zeigt ein gesundes, kräftiges Grün, was auf eine gute Nährstoffversorgung hindeutet. Die Blütenansätze bilden sich sauber aus und man erkennt bereits die ersten kleinen Härchen an den Knotenpunkten. 📋 In dieser Woche lief alles nach Plan. Gefüttert wurde mit BioTabs Bio Pk 5-8 in einer Dosierung von 10 ml/L. Das ist eine ordentliche Dosis, um die Blütephase jetzt richtig anzuschieben, ohne die Wurzeln zu überfordern. Die Pflanze zeigt keine Anzeichen von Stress durch die Düngung, alles wirkt vital und vitalisiert. ✂️ Was beim Blick auf die Bilder auffällt, ist der Stammverlauf. Der Knick im unteren Bereich war nötig, um die Pflanze etwas flacher zu halten und das Licht besser zu verteilen – das hat sich ausgezahlt, die Wuchsform ist jetzt gleichmäßig. In den nächsten Tagen werde ich genau beobachten, wie schnell die Blüten an Masse zulegen. Jetzt heißt es, die Nährstoffzufuhr stabil zu halten und abzuwarten, bis die Harzproduktion richtig einsetzt. Läuft.

In the dark for 48 hours on day 89, chopped day 91. After full dry and cure I ended up with 80 grams dry yield buds. She out stretched my tent (60") twice, still yielded very well. Flower came out as tight, slightly dark purple to green flower with orange hairs. Smells earthy, herbal, nothing overwhelming. Smokes great, flavor is very similar to the nose earthy, slightly herbal with a gassy finish faintly present. Feels fairly potent, definitely a heady high, and unfortunately munchies induced activity increased. Overall a great first run with Zamnesia seeds autoflower, if and when running again SCROG almost seems required.

The plant is doing perfectly!! I feel that green house feeding nutrients is getting really good results!! I've done a little defoliation and this next week I will defoliate more agressive

Day 41, start of week 7 tomorrow!

Last week! storm’s about to hit the tent 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Critical 49 bloom. I washed the plants. I noticed bud rot on two more branches. I cut them back (2cm) as well. I don't know whether to harvest or wait a little longer. I'm afraid I'll lose them all.😓

Der Sommer zeigt sich von seiner sonnigen Seite, leider auch ohne Regen. Viel Wasserverbrauch, gutes Wachstum, mehrmalges tägliches Gießen. Die Raunbow Road holt sehr schnell auf die etwas Älteren auf. Sie ist nicht ganz so buschig wie die Anderen, dafür fehlte ihr noch die Zeit. Sie hat von allen den stärksten Pflanzengeruch aber nur aus der Nähe wahrbehmbar. Ich wünsche euch eine schöne Grow-Woche!

Day 52, stacking beautifully. Got her last kelp potassium boost today. I’m thinking another feed of a Green rush beefy bud on day 56 before starting to flush/ripen. It should be finishing off that 70/30 Gaia feed I gave a month ago. Very eager to smoke some of this medicine. LEMONS! Slowed down to drinking 3L of water every two days again. I ended up cutting all nutrients out for a ripening. I never went back with a Green rush feed. Im positive there is very little gaia breaking down in the soil if any ! Cloudy trichomes happened this week too ! very eager. Ill be adding a final week photos plus hanging and wet weight photos in a week or two and then in a month you can come back and see what final product and weight looks like with a smoke review!! thanks for making it this far ! i appreciate you guys checking on my progress ! Heres a youtube short i created ! i will do one for every grow just to add to my portfolio! Im hoping by keeping up with all this and show casing my progress, i could potentially find employment in the future under a grower ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhQWMl7kjLg&lc=UgwRIkWLHVSlsOJWXlx4AaABAg&ab_channel=Apothecaries youtube video is from day 59 or so Thanks again !
