seeds: Montel Iced Tea, Body Count, Bubbles Blueberry F4, Ricky’s Hash Plant, Black Tangi Tea → standouts / "otherworldly" These are clearly your current stars — better structure, resin, and overall quality than most of the others you've tried. Auto Flowers: Humboldt Seed Company — best autos you've grown. Extremely resinous, especially the OG Triploid. Top tier for autos. Fast Buds — very close second. Super fast, nice flavors, reliable. You like them a lot but note they're in a different class (not fair to directly compare to Humboldt). Why RQS Strains Underperformed The 7/10 rating and "needed a lot of power to switch to flower" comment is classic for some RQS genetics, especially certain autos or hybrids. Possible reasons: Genetics: Some RQS lines are finicky about light schedules or have slower/more reluctant flowering responses. Mike Tyson 2.0 and Corkscrew apparently needed the 12/12 flip to finally push. Light/Environment: With five tents running, light penetration, spectrum, or intensity might not have been ideal for these particular strains. Autos can be sensitive to stress during the transition. Nutrient response: They may have needed more phosphorus/potassium or different ratios to bulk up properly. The fact that you had to force Corkscrew into 12/12 at week 20 and it's now only "OK" suggests it was a slower or lower-yielding pheno for your conditions. Strong Performers Brothers Grimm → These sound like the real winners in your tent right now. Brothers Grimm has a reputation for unique, high-quality landrace-influenced genetics with excellent resin and flavor profiles. "Otherworldly better" is high praise — they clearly thrive in your setup. Humboldt Seed Company autos → Excellent choice for resin production. OG Triploid is a standout for trichome density. Fast Buds → Reliable, fast, flavorful — a safe, consistent auto line. Recommendations Going Forward Double down on what works: Keep running more Brothers Grimm (especially the ones you loved). Stick with Humboldt for autos when you want maximum resin. Fast Buds for speed and flavor. 3/30 4am Pink Kush CBD is SLOW.... she never really recovered from early problems, I LOVE this strain, smoke and smell are 10/10. I blew it up early from problems that are NOT MY FAULT. so there. 4/1 12pm We're gonna need a bigger TENT!!!💐🌼Humboldt Seed company email today...Im doing this!!! https://californiahempseeds.com/garden-seeds/

Ending 1st week of flowering Mainlining for 1st time 8x Nodes, topped 3x Tied down to create even canopy Flavour & yield is my biggest aim Day 3 - Tie down training and defoliation. Both strong growers.. WC2 is the biggest so far

Starting with LST on the biggest 3 Autos rn. Very excited to See the results of this early Training😊

On to the dry

Day 43 - Starting week 7 and she’s looking good. She’s starting to stretch more every day and flowers are starting to fatten up a bit. Gonna continue with the foxfarm feeding schedule. Can’t wait for her to finish! Day 44 - The room is really starting to smell amazing. Just keeping on with the foxfarm nute schedule until she’s ready to be cut in a couple more weeks. Still plenty of fattening and growing to go. Day 45 - No major changes, she’s just chugging along. Gave a feeding of just water today and tomorrow will be the foxfarm feeding. I love her look and the smell starting to really come from her. Day 46 - No major changes, just continuing to fatten, grow and definitely getting really frosty! Day 47 - What can I say? This thing is an amazing grow and smelling amazing. She just growing and fattening each day. Still to early to really look at the trichs but wanted to look anyway. Got a few decent pics and there’s a few cloudy ones in there. Gave her straight pH’d water today and tomorrow and will give another feeding on Saturday. Day 48 - No big changes, just continuing to fatten up. Held off on watering today, she didn’t really drink munch compared to the GC. Will give her an actual “feeding” tomorrow. Day 49 - All is looking good and she’s plumping up each day. Gave her the foxfarm feeding today. Tomorrow starts week 8 so will continue with the feeding schedule until the end. She’s really starting to smell up the room in my house and loving it.

Day 61

Day 56 - Rinsed with Botanicare Clearex solution. Day 58 - 2 Days after the rinse and the buds are fattening nicely. The pots are still too wet to water so I'll patiently wait to introduce the new Fox Farms Bembe and Cha Ching.

Blurple burnt leafs a bit this week and the next week but couldn’t see the damage under the Blurp until Back under one or my Mars lights (blurp ran a bit warm and intense for the 2x2 tent haha 😂 schoolboy error Lol 😂)

Plants doing good clones have roots but not all guna wait 2 more weeks b4 transferring to new containers …one plant needs more food guna increase ppm

Packing on weight and has this og earthy smell . Getting sticky and white

last few days 🥦

Howdy growfessors! Another week has come and gone with the outdoors grow. The ladies took a bit of a beating from the tail end of tropical storm Ida. Going to build a partial greenhouse roof to help keep the rain off them, which will hopefully lower the chances for mould.

Still no pictures but plants progressing nicely and is starting to really show different growth patterns

Woche 13 | Tag 85–91 Der letzte Tanz vor der Axt ?🌲 Woche 13 markierte den endgültigen Endspurt für die fünf Autos. Nach über drei Monaten unter den LEDs ist das Ziel nun zum Greifen nah. Die Pflanzen zeigen alle klassischen Zeichen der Endreife: kräftiger Fade, herbstliche Farben, knochentrockene Fächerblätter und eine Harzproduktion, die selbst nach 20 Jahren Growerfahrung noch ein breites Grinsen ins Gesicht zaubert. Die Purple Punch entwickelt sich weiterhin zum heimlichen Star des Runs. Was auf Fotos oft unscheinbar wirkt, entpuppt sich beim genaueren Hinsehen als massiver Bud-Busch mit erstaunlicher Dichte. Die dunklen Farben, die fast schwarzen Blätter und die dicken, steinharten Blüten machen sie zu einem absoluten Hingucker. Auch die GMO hat in den letzten Tagen nochmal ordentlich zugelegt. Die Buds sind komplett überzogen mit Harz und die Trichome zeigen inzwischen deutlich mehr Reife als noch vor wenigen Tagen. Die Wirkung dürfte genau in die Richtung gehen, die ich mir für diesen Run vorgestellt habe. Die Blueberry hat überraschend stark aufgeholt und befindet sich mittlerweile ebenfalls voll im Erntefenster. Ihre Blüten sind komplett bereift und zeigen inzwischen erste Bernsteinfärbungen. Hyperion präsentiert sich weiterhin als wahre Frostmaschine. Die Blüten sehen aus, als wären sie mit Puderzucker überzogen worden. Während die Trichome noch etwas jünger wirken als bei Purple Punch und GMO, befindet sie sich inzwischen ebenfalls in der maximalen Potenzphase. Die Runtz liefert zum Abschluss noch einmal ein wahres Farbfeuerwerk. Gelb, Orange, Rot, Grün und Lila treffen auf unglaublich frostige Blüten und machen sie zu einer der schönsten Pflanzen des gesamten Runs. In dieser Woche wurden erneut zahlreiche Makroaufnahmen gemacht, um die Trichomentwicklung zu verfolgen. Während vor wenigen Tagen noch einzelne klare Köpfe zu finden waren, dominieren mittlerweile milchige Trichome. Erste Amberköpfe tauchen nun auf allen Pflanzen auf und bestätigen, dass sich das Erntefenster endgültig geöffnet hat. Die Bewässerung wurde stark reduziert. Die Pflanzen zehren inzwischen vollständig von ihren Reserven und zeigen einen spektakulären Fade. Genau so möchte man einen Run kurz vor dem Ziel sehen. Nach 91 Tagen steht nun die letzte Entscheidung an: Noch wenige Tage Geduld für die gewünschte Menge Amber oder die Axt schwingen. Das Ziel dieses Runs war von Anfang an eine schwere, körperbetonte Wirkung mit maximaler Reife – und genau darauf steuern die Pflanzen aktuell zu. Die nächste Aktualisierung wird höchstwahrscheinlich bereits der Erntebericht sein.

Day 32-26/08/22 so I’m feeling better now so time to get these diaries back on track!!! All 5 girls are doing good 👍 one of them has a few damaged leafs but very healthy will start to give them bloom tomorrow or later depending on if they need watering or not!!!
