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

Lampe 100% Die drei Damen haben die 1m-Marke geknackt. 🌱🌱 Die GC hab ich rausgenommen – wegen des Platzes, aber auch, weil sie einfach übelst nachhing. 😅 Jetzt haben die anderen mehr Raum. Hab ein Netz eingezogen, um die Triebe besser zu verteilen und sie etwas von der Lampe wegzubekommen (nur noch ca. 23 cm Abstand zu den obersten!). Sonst alles mehr als stabil: Die Blattfarbe sieht super aus und die Buds werden schon deutlich dicker.💪🔥 Mo:(Fotos) Di: Gießen: 6L je nach Bedarf Dünger: Canna Coco A&B = 1,5 ml/L CalMag = 0,8 ml/L Cannazym = 0,8 ml/L Boost = 1,7 ml/L PK 13/14 = 0,7 pH: 6.03 EC: 1.89 Drain: Mi: Do: Gießen: 6L je nach Bedarf Dünger: Canna Coco A&B = 1 ,5ml/L CalMag = 0,8 ml/L Cannazym = 0,8 ml/L Boost = 1,7 ml/L PK 13/14 = 0,8 pH: 5.88 EC: 1.85 Drain: Fr: Sa: Gießen: 4L je Dünger: Canna Coco A&B = 1,5 ml/L CalMag = 0,8 ml/L Cannazym = 0,8 ml/L Boost = 2 ml/L PK 13/14 = 1 pH: 5.8 EC: 1.9 So: Gießen: 4L je Dünger: Canna Coco A&B = 1,5 ml/L CalMag = 0,8 ml/L Cannazym = 0,8 ml/L Boost = 2 ml/L PK 13/14 = 1 pH: 5.8 EC: 1.9

Plants are cruising through and stacking nicely. Brewed & fed flowering tea recipe & plants responded with some smell starting to feel up my tent. Blue Cheese definitely has some funky cheesy & earthy aroma. Afghan kush smell is the most exciting to smell these days as its aroma is something akin to a perfume. Can't wait to see what the rest of this week looks like.

2020-07-12 New week, same nutrients. I've been carefully monitoring nutrient intake and topping up plant 1 quite often, almost a gallon a day now. The 2nd plant is growing slower and eating a bit less but it's also a week behind developmentally. Plant 1 is happy with EC=1600 and I dilute that down to EC=1400 for plant 02. Plants are looking good! 2020-07-18 Last day of the week. Plant 01 is completely insane. It is so tall that I keep having to supercrop the top as more colas try to hit the light. I obviously let it veg for way too long but I struggled early on with nutrition so I didn't know what would happen when I finally dialed everything in!!! I am gonna take them to the end, I just hope I don't have to cut any colas off that become unmanageable. I have to be way more aggressive with my LST next time. Very very light nutrient burn on plant 2. Still running EC=1600 and EC=1400 for plant 1/2.

31/08 désolé pour le retard, mon pc m'a lâché. Bon.. sinon elle arrive à la fin de sa vie et elle va bien. 🙂👍

Week 5, plants look good, bud sites developing nicely, smell is still weak but citrusy. Decided not to add cal-mag, gonna ride it out with it. Humidity dropped to 45%.

All plants are developing well. It wasn't actually intended to grow three plants. But after the first two seeds didn't germinate, I doubted myself and sowed all the other seeds. Now I have three plants in a tent that is far too small. Even though the Bruce Banner is an auto, it doesn't really fit into the grow. Without topping, I won't get very far with this one... Everything is rather suboptimal, so I may have to give up one of the plants.

Growing fine except one Original Glue that is lagging behind. Perhaps not worth doing but we will see after the stretch. - New addition to the tent , Purple lemonade FF ( for next run, clones ) Some LST 12/26- pre flowering indications on all plants Switching out the metal halide for the HPS. Time to start budding!

Both plants are currently being flushed, B2 will be ready for harvest the next few days and B1 will still flush for another week. The fade in B2 is incredible, truly my best plant I've grown so far.. best structure, best density, best everything. Looking forward to this harvest for sure. Probably will not post another update until my harvest results in a couple of weeks.

20den 🍀 Roste to krásně ,i když už potřebovala zalít ,zalivam půl lítrem každý druhy den ,ať má holka čas :) a v neděli začínám hnojit růstovým hnojivem . Hnojiva co používám jsou Micro,Velk,Mag a Grow . 1,5ml/l Tento víkend mám v plánu jí zastřihnout ,zastrihavam pouze jednou. . Konečně pak začne lehké cvičení :) . Už mě nebaví se jen koukat 😀

I switched the light timer to 12/12 and turned the carbon filter on. I wish I had more space to grow vertically, but the height of my box and grow light distance limits me from vegging too long. I hope to have a larger set up in the future 😀. At the start of week 7 The girls are chugging along (Cal/Mag really seemed to help) and I'm looking forward to seeing the bud structure and that Blueberry smell! I will be going on vacation in a little over a week for 8 days 😅. This is also why I started flowering now..so that I can be home during the majority of the stretch period(12 days from flip). The day I leave I will apply nutrients and thoroughly saturate the coco and then the girls will be watered with the blumats from my 5 gal reservoir (hopefully that is enough and there isn't too much PH drift). On day 5 of week 7 I applied 1 gal of nutrients until runoff. Week 7 went well.

Explosive growth compared to last week. I topped again, which might be the last time before I allow for some more growth before flipping. Super Impressed, this would be much bigger if I did not delay transplanting for a week and a half, because I had my grow space full! I just started 2 others, unfortunately bad timing as this one's almost to flower, so either I will stretch the veg out for much longer so all plants can flower at same time, or work out other arrangements. So far I'm beyond impressed with Homegrown Genetics and cannot wait to see these beauties flower 😁

One more week up we go and on the last one i end up not posting more pictures or commenting, apologies for that, nothing much append any way, was a simple feedings and rotating the plant. For this week depending how she grows, and she is growing way more than her mom did, so in my head she is already a best, non so ever lets see how she turns out, have 2 babies from her growing for a next round, this one for next round will be moving to a bigger closet . I am adding K to my recipe , this will for sure help on the bud department and some microbial help with MicroMix, this will bost the microbial life on my soil with will help her roots with will bring more nuts up to but production 😆 at this stage its all about bud production for after take car of the trichome department Things are going as smother as possible, added some night shots and some waking up ones also and a waking up mini video 💚 As always thank you guys for your love , your time, your support and it all, i fell blessed and i am truly thankful 💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌 All i grow is medicine for myself, for me and for my best friend with is me 😆 nothing to sell, so don’t even ask 😅💚💚💚 All info and full product details can be find in can find @ https://viparspectra.eu/collections/grow-lights DISCOUNT CODE 5% - DOGDOCTOR ( all store ) https://www.zamnesia.com DISCOUNT CODE 10% - GROWITGD ( just for seeds ) https://aptus-holland.com/ #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #viparspectra #zamnesiaseeds #growerslove With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚💚💚 More info and updates @ https://growdiaries.com/grower/dogdoctor https://instagram.com/dogdoctorofficial https://youtube.com/channel/UCR7ta4DKLFMg2xxTMr2cpIg 💚💚💚Growers love to you all 💚💚💚

I'm pretty satisfied with these Og Kush Auto's so far! Responding very well to my home brew. All my organic teas throughout grow. Watch it take off... to the mooooon! My ultimate goal for this cabinet grow is a Quarter lb. Do you think i can do it with these Fastbuds? What strains to you guys recommend to achieve this goal? 🌲💨🙏✌️

26.05 While one run is still in full bloom, the next grow is already knocking – so here we go again. Plan: Germination will take place in a glass of water. Once cracked, the seed will be placed into an Eazy Plug, which is already sitting in the final 19L fabric pot. She'll veg for about 5 weeks in a 40×40×120 cm tent under a Sansi BR30 36W LED, while the main bloom tent is still occupied. After that, she'll move into the 70×70×160 cm tent under the Mars Hydro FC 1500 Evo 150W LED. Setup: 40×40×120 cm tent by Melko for Vegetation 70×70×160 cm tent by Mars Hydro for Flower Sansi BR30 36W LED @ 24/0 light cycle Mars Hydro FC 1500 Evo 150W LED @ 18/6 light cycle Mars Hydro 4-Inch exhaust system with app control Circulation fans: Mars Hydro & Taifun Mars Hydro 25×52 cm seedling heat mat with digital thermostat Nutrients: Organic: Biocanna Rhizotonic Biocanna Bio Vega Biocanna Bio Flores Biocanna Bio Boost Mineral: Terra Aquatica Calcium Magnesium Supplement Canna PK 13/14 The heat mat is set to 24 °C for germination. The water glass with the seed is currently sitting in the propagator. 27.05 Barely 24 hours later: the first white dot of the taproot is visible, the seed is still floating on the surface, a quick nudge was enough to make it sink. 28.05. 48 hours later, it's almost time. 30.05 96 hours after the start of germination, the seed was placed into an Eazyplug. For preparation, 100 ml of water were mixed with 0.1 ml of Biocanna Rhizotonic. The plug was briefly soaked in this solution (using a shot glass) until fully saturated, then gently squeezed to remove excess moisture. The remaining Rhizo mix was used to pre-moisten the surrounding soil in the final pot. The heat mat was set to 25 °C. The LED light was positioned near its highest point to provide gentle warmth and light for early development. 01.06 She needed a little bit help but did it. Welcome on earth, little seedling.

Buds smell already beautiful and the bud structure is nice🙂👍. The flowers were dried for 9 days. I tell the weight later when i get batteries for the scale.

Привет друзья. Моей растихе сегодня 103 дня. Паутинный клещь побеждаю На много стало зеленее и пушистей.
