My plants look healthy. 17.08 Day 2. I'm going to try to record in detail.

So after a very slow , deformed and sluggish start , as you can see this girl has now come into her own and very healthy and produceing really well , I seems as soon as I removed all the very first droopy leaves coving up all the branches she shot out in all directions , So I am pleased with her progress now and she looks too be a good yelding plant even at this stage ,

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

No problems to report this week. Gelato smelling amazing. Strong frosty bud growth in all strains. Looking forward to the next couple of weeks of development.

Very happy with the grow so far , been doing next to nothing to these girls. I haven’t topped or trained at all they are pretty bushy and my space is limited for LST. All but one have started flowering. Any advice I’m all ears still a big amateur.

Week12. Going purple . 1 more week to Harvest.blue cheese need longer bad genetic.

Week 10, 3/5/2020 - 10/5/2020, as you can see she almost has overtaken the tent, she is 1 meter high now, and I think now she 's into full flowering mode. Buds are already glittery and cant wait to see them swell. Her scent is spices and a bit of a diesel.

26.12.24: These are my 2 best plants P1 and P2 Purple Punch, they are looking great! Not sure what happened to P3. They are in early flower/ pre-flower with the pistils clearly seen on P2. I am also hoping to tie some of the branches down to help light penetration on the lower canopies. I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Victory lap...week 13 is in the books. The girls are are just about done taking a beatdown. I came, i ve endured and over came, ive grown! Again, this was 12/12 courtesy to one photo followed by two auto pots. Unfortunately My photo( kalina asia)is a bit behind but will be pulled along with my autos (All gas Og auto& Banana Bread auto). They are 93 days from seed. I should've 84 and out the 🚪 them but whatever! I must of did something right!!! Right? Next stop the harvest...

Hello fellow growers, were at the end of week 8 & everything has gone fine apart from recently discovering a bit of bud rot on 2 seperate buds on #5 ( she has big thick very solid buds) humidity has been quite high as we are going into our 3rd straight week of terential rain. Otherwise everything is good, most of these girls look ready 💯% milky trichomes, amber/brownish pistils all curled in. Have been flushing these girls, will give them a little longer

10/5 Day 28 - LED lamp now on 24h - Water: Both plants got 1L of water with nutes. Summary for the day: I still do some LST but truing to do less and focusing on spreading the tops. LED in 40cm full effect. Did some defoliation today but not sure if I'm doing right. - 12/5 Day 30 - LED lamp now on 24h - Water: Both plants got 1L of water with nutes increased to 1.5ml because it's been 10 days since I started with giving them 1ml each time they got water. Now I started to see they drink much more. Last time it was 3 days between watering. This time it was only 1 day since they got 1L water. Maybe increase 1L to 1.5L next time. Summary for the day: I still do some LST but truing to do less and focusing on spreading the tops. LED in 40cm full effect. Did some defoliation today as well. - 14/5 Day 32 - LED lamp now on 24h - Water: Nothing Maybe increase 1L to 1.5L next time. Summary for the day: I still do some LST but truing to do less and focusing on spreading the tops. LED in 40cm full effect. Did some defoliation today as well. - 15/5 Day 33 - LED lamp now on 24h - Water: Both plants got 1L of water with 1.5ml nutes x2 (A+B)

Easy plants everything going nice, micro grow dwc, box was found on aliexpress. Small & simple, 18/6 lights, lucas formula 50% dosage going gr8! see ya next week! Gonna try some contests when it stats to bloom! Ps. 3 plants were rescued from fatal condition, 1 of em started pulling new roots. The rest 2 of bastards still fighting with hydro conditions :D we will se if they live or die

Flushing this week with pH water for a couple of days and using GH flora kleen the last two days. She smells something amazing.

Rainy day )) Love this 😍

This week a lot is happening with Tamara 👸. Our little princess is entering bloom 🌸 with everything she’s got. Formation of her first flowering traits, the beginning of the stretch. So, it’s time to do a little more than just feeding her every 2–3 days with a light nutrient solution. A scrog net is being set up in the box, and since Tamara‘s stretch really kicks off compared to her growth in the past weeks, she’s also getting some LST. Some would say you shouldn’t do that at this stage 😅😉… well, I do. And what can I say, it doesn’t look like she’s having any trouble with it 😂🤗. By the end of this week she’s even already reaching up to the net … so now it’s time to guide all the other shoots as well … “little” Tamara …

Beginning to make a good stretch up! Continuing to stay healthy!
