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

Die AK-47 entwickelt sich prächtig und zeigt ein sehr kräftiges Wurzelwachstum sowie sattes Grün. Die Runtz x Layer Cake ist etwas später dran; ihre Wurzeln fangen jetzt erst richtig an zu greifen, weshalb sie obenrum noch etwas hell/gelblich wirkt. Da beide im selben DWC-System stehen, wird die Nährstofflösung nun präzise angepasst. 💧 Wasserwerte & Setup • System: DWC mit voller Hesi-Serie (TNT, Wurzelkomplex, SuperVit). • Werte: pH 5,8 | EC 0,97 (sinkend) | Wasser-Temp: 19,9°C. • Besonderheit: Der ORP-Wert von 317 mV bestätigt eine saubere, sauerstoffreiche Wurzelumgebung. Maßnahmen • Nährstoff-Management: Da der EC-Wert sinkt, fressen die Pflanzen gut. Ich hebe den Ziel-EC leicht auf 1,1 an, um den Hunger der AK-47 zu stillen und der Runtz mehr Reserven zu bieten. • Support: Die Runtz erhält eine leichte Blattdüngung (Hesi TNT + Wurzelkomplex), um die Nährstoffaufnahme zu unterstützen, bis ihr Wurzelsystem voll etabliert ist. • Handling: Beim Wasserwechsel wurden die Wurzeln kurzzeitig geschützt im Eimer gelagert – alles lief reibungslos. Fazit: Die AK-47 gibt das Tempo vor, die Runtz zieht jetzt langsam nach. Die Bedingungen sind mit pH 5,8 und kühlem Wasser ideal.

Hallo und herzlich Willkommen zurück 😸☀️diese Woche war das Wetter leider immer noch nicht so schön aber das wird schon werden ☀️☀️☀️ ich habe diese Woche bei meinem Auqarium einen Teil Wasser wechsel gemacht , ich benutze einen Teil des Aquarium Wassers für meine Pflanzen. Meiner Erfahrung nach belebt das Auqarium Wasser mit dem Fischmullm und den Microben das Bodenleben. Da reines Auqarium Wasser aber auch nicht gut für die Pflanzen ist meiner Erfahrung nach muss man es mischen. Ich mische 2 Liter Aquarium Wasser mit 8 Liter Leitungswasser. Der Ph des Gießwassers Stelle ich bei jungen Pflanzen meistens auf 6.0 ein. Ich hoffe euch und euren Pflanzen geht's gut 😺 bis nächste Woche 👋

Después de varios días sin subir nada Moby 1: Le realize trasplante de tierra a las dos y les hice LST hoy es viernes lunes o martes estoy haciendo los esquejes en hidro la Moby 1 ya tiene pelos y quiere florar capas le saco esquejes y hago florar a la madre en el exterior cuida dola del frio total ya esta acostumbrada al clima a la Moby 2 le falta todavia pero la Moby 1 ya tiene ramitas para hacer esquejes y tengo todo lo q hace falta... Moby 2: la mejor con ella crece bien en breve ya nuestra el sexo siempre va una semana y media o más atrás de la más grande la 1....

Day 1-12/12/21 seeds placed into glass of water!! Day 2-13/12/24 seed transferred to paper towel!! Day 4-15/12/21 seeds are in soil and in tent!!! Day 6-17/12/21 seeds are showing first signs of leaf!!!!

Vamos familia, estamos en la séptima semana de floración con estas Purple Og Kush de DutchFem. Las vemos con un buen color, bien sanas y van engordando y progresando correctamente. A subido un poco la altura pero no afecto tanto, ya imagino que seguiré dándole de comer porque pedir piden, una semana más por lo menos. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/55% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

4/6/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 1- Last week in VEG, They are all looking amazing and no worry about stretch when I flip Next Saturday they are indica and I have more than 50% of distance from the top of the plant to the lights with a little more I can raise the lights if necessary. So going to really just enjoy this last week of VEG, and get my Cloning equipment ready. I will be taking 2 cuts for each this is also a PHENO hunt for HWG and he not only has the prize for the winner but he also has an additional bounty on a cut of the winner. I did have to take some from around the edges to keep them from touching. 4/7/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 2- Didn't do anything today but watch them grow.. They will be getting a really good flip trim and clean up for clone material on Friday/ Saturday. 4/8/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 3- Couldn't even get a picture of the #1 at first too much Foliage throughout.. So I had to clean that up and make sure they all still have some separation before flip. 4/9/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 4- Huston we almost had an issue.. I looked at my Res and she was in desperate need of 10 gallons to get her through until next water change on Saturday. So I added 10 gallons and the Nutes. I added 10 Gallons of Water I added the following Nutes: CalMag= 1.00Mil/Gal= 10Mil FloraMicro = 5.4Mil/Gal= 54Mil FloraGro= 4.2Mil/Gal= 42Mil FLoraBloom= 4.6Mil/Gal= 46Mil 4/10/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 5- Had to giver them a huge clean up today I couldn't even see the numbers in the first pic. I am also worried that #1 and #3 really, really are getting huge over the last few days.. starting to think I should have flipped them this past Saturday.. The interesting things is even though this is an Indica Strain, I might have to super crop just to keep them off the lights. The joys and sorrows of RDWC and timing. 4/11/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 6- Even though Flipping in Two days almost wish I would have gone at Week 7. I am really worried about #3, #1 and #2 are huge and when I put them in flower they are going to stretch out 4/12/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 7- Day of Work.. Lots of Work.. I gave all three a Cloning/Flower cleaning.. all three got cleaned up top Inside and bottom, I took 2 cuts of each to see which one come out on top then I will kill off the other cuts once I have a winner in flower. I clean up this thoroughly before I flip because it reduces the work load on the next major clean up I do on Week 4 of Flower.and they are so much taller that it is going to be a pain in the ass to maintain canopy space for #3, we will see how it goes and adjust as necessary..

GIVE THIS GROW A THUMBS UP 👍 WEEK #2 DAY 9: She was stunted day 6 & is recovering from that currently . She is in a 5x5 with 3 autos between 35-42 days old . The plan is to veg this single Cereal Milk out to fill this entire 5x5 once my Autos are harvested . This is my first run with this cultivar & breeder however it was an easy choice considering I adore the taste , smell, & smoke of the strain! Week 1 issues: The tents VPD was out of whack . Due to the VPD being out of proportion slowed/stunted growth occurred equally across all 4 plants in the tent . Plants showed deficiencies of CalMag and interveinal yellowing , necrosis leaf spots , reddening leaf petioles & leaf stems slowly progressing in the worst affected plants to red leaf veins & lastly droplets of condensation on the leaves (plants were sweating) Anyways after I fixed the VPD issues , I added a makeshift dome for humidity retention of the Cereal Milk & 3 days later which is today she has added 2 new nodes almost catching up to where she would be with normal healthy unstunted growth at day #9. She was transplanted from her starter pot last night into a 2 gallon with plenty of dry amendments mixed in for a 6-8 week veg. I’m debating on scrogging this plant or LST & Supercropping the SHIT out of this plant . I’ve never scrogged before and am not welcoming any new learning curves at the moment which is my main reason not to even though I think it may be the biggest help to filling this tent & “supporting” the enormous load of bud sites I am planning to grow . I worry about to inconvenience of defoliating & training branches down without being able to get around the outside of my tent given its location in a corner . If I had anticipated wanting to grow a single 2lb + plant when determining my grow location I would’ve placed it more ” openly “. If I can think up a work around to canopy maintenance so that I can keep it clean & by the books I’ll quit complaining & try it . Otherwise she’ll be LST’d & Supercropped OR topped and mainlined . Day 14 END OF WEEK #2 I’ve added remote temperature & humidity monitoring/controller. Now I can monitor the dips & swings while making adjustments to better dial things in . (Just trying it on for size here , for full disclosure I am not in love with it & if I can not modify what it is that is bothering my existence I WILL be returning this unit AND purchasing another brand with the capabilities I am looking for the connectivity for this specific unit I am trying was a BIG deciding factor for me but all in all is not enough to make me settle on this one if I can potentially have it all. . Odds are highly leaning towards returning this unit .) Finally raised the pot to level with the older girls in flower currently . I was wrong when I reported in setup that she was “30 inches “ from the light . She in fact was 35 inches‼️away so I raised her to be 26 inches from the light by placing a 1 gallon bucket beneath her . I WILL NOT LET THE MID-END OF FLOWER & DRYING to cause my run to get derailed

This week has been great! Germination on all 4 Pre 98 Bubbas and 2 Dirty Blondes was a success!! We planted them in there pots an through out the week we gave em each a very light spray down of pure water phd at 6.5 and by Friday they all popped out the soil Let’s go!!!!! Next week we will start light feed on nutrients , so y’all keep them eyes peeled for next updates an I appreciate y’all for following my grow !!😶‍🌫️💨💨💨🙏🏻💚💯🤙🏻

¡ÚLTIMA SEMANA! Esta semana fue la última para estas preciosas 🍇PURPLE PUNCH🍇 todas han estado aumentando el peso de las flores estas dos semanas atrás, engordando hasta tal punto de doblarse enteras, tuve que agarrar dos fenotipos bastante pesados al armario. en total estuvieron 9 semanas en floración. De los 6 fenotipos x3 han cogido tonalidades muy bonitas como podéis ver en las fotos. ⬆️90cm ☀️Interior ⏳64 días 🏺11L 😶 Indica: 90% / Sativa: 10% 🚀THC: 25%

She smells extremely orange 🍊

Been wanting to grow this strain for a while now so many people have grown it and it had huge buds I’m excited. Everything I have grown from fastbuds so far grows really well

Mal alle Tanks mit Wasser ausgetauscht …

14.12. Day 85 of life. 47 of flower. Dry out. Leaves go yellow. Soaking all she had to the buds. You can see there still fresh phylaxien growing. BTW. Feeling sad to see this. But its a dry summer. BRAINOVERDOSE. TOO MUCH MUHAHA GAGA 😂 😂 😂 😂 I SWEAR: Looking my Northern Lights auto. Thinking.. Hmm looks great like Short Ryder. Hmm looks exactly (bud structure) like her. Maybe there's a lowyrider in her? Muhaha exactly! DR JOINTS lowyrider. But the Lowyrider 2. GREAT. You know Ruderalis? DR. JOINT. brought this holy chalice to the world. 15.12. . 😛 💪 16.12. Annotation.: leaves die but still some fresh white phylaxien. 17.12. Enough juice in the flowers. 18.12. Day 51 of flower. Chop day.

Switched the plants to flower this week and have noticed tons of growth since. Both plants have turned out to be female and are both producing pistils. Have run into a potential problem while defoliating I noticed a couple leaves on one stem that look like they were burnt almost. They weren’t bad but I haven’t noticed it anywhere else. I looked over a lot of the leaves with a healers loupe under 60x magnification and didn’t notice and insects, the leaves were also growing into the side of the tent so that might be what cause it but not too sure.

Update coming.

Hello growmies 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾🌲🌲, 👋 The girl isn't yet done, Trichromes not ready, so one more week to harvest... Temperature outside start to down around 7*C so coldest in the tent.

Día 02. Tuve que empezar la floración. Las raices estaban empezando a salir por el caño de descarga. Además estoy notando que al quedar mucha agua atrapada entre las raíces, la toman más rápido y los 20 litros que puse no sé si van a alcanzar. Ya había tenido este problema hace bastante y me había olvidado. Pero igual no me preocupa tanto. Sé que puedo manejarlo tranquilo. Así que al final, la semana anterior fueron sólo 3 días. Ahora voy a ir planificando bien, dado que la diferencia de altura en una de las Polaris, me va a obligar a ir llevando un LST riguroso. También estoy empezando a pensar en formas para evitar las tapadas de raíces. Creo que algo se me va a ocurrir para implementar en algún momento. Voy a hacer un corte de hojas muy grande cuando haya terminado el estiramiento de pre flora. Porque quiero probar cuanto afecta a una rama el quitarle la hoja principal. Algunas he cortado y otras cuantas no. Apliqué Feeding Enhancer de Greenhouse, en forma foliar la noche que pasé a floración. Voy a hacer una nueva aplicación en una semana seguramente. Tuve que bajar la frecuencia de reigo de 30/30 a 15/45 por hora, porque creo que eso hizo que se hagan tan grandes rápido. Igual es un dato que voy a tomar en cuenta para el futuro. Día 04 Me preocupa la velocidad a la que se toman la solución nutritiva. Les puse 20 litros hace 4 días y quedan solamente 12 litros. A este ritmo voy a tener que empezar a poner mucho más de los esperado. Aunque igual, creo que cuando haga un trim fuerte de hojas, ahí van a empezar a regular más el consumo de agua. Además al haber crecido tanto las raíces, es mayor la cantidad de solución que queda estancada en las raíces y es consumida. Así que eso también será un tema a mejorar. Me gusta que las plantas estén así, pero siento que no las voy a poder controlar.
