DAY 2: Watering with 2.5L. Nutrients as in description. I have noticed small symptoms of underwatering and also little stress of heat. Therefore I just reduces light intensity from 100% to about 85% and moved the lamp a about 5cm higher. DAY 4: Recovered fully from heat stress and underwatering. Already noticed some small hairs so flowering just began! DAY 5: Watering with 2.5L of water. The pot was already bit light. After flip to 12/12 I have instantly noticed she needs watering 1 day faster then before. I also removed some yellowed leaves and hidden small branches which would not see the light either.

There isn't much more to say about this fantastic strain. Hardy, easy to clone, quick to flower and absolutely delicious in every respect. It resists well to high temperatures, "accidental" over fertilization, and recovers soon after a period of drought. Easy and fast.

#1 - D:110 - 6L - Si [3ml], AlgoHumus [12ml], HakaB [3.8g], HakaR [2.9g], Ca/Mg [0.3g/L & 0.2g/L]. INPUT: [pH 6.87] [1.574 EC]. OUTPUT: 1.5L [1.686 EC] [pH 6.8]. Last irrigation: D:108 #2 - D:110 - 8L - Si [3ml], AlgoHumus [12ml], HakaB [3.8g], HakaR [2.9g], Ca/Mg [0.3g/L & 0.2g/L]. INPUT: [pH 6.87] [1.57 EC]. OUTPUT: 4L [1.53 EC] [pH 6.8]. Last irrigation: D:108 ——————————————————————————— A few days ago, the plants endured a heatwave with temperatures averaging 34–36°C. I left them in the sun, and they seemed to take it well; they were visibly praying 🙏. The minor senescence visible in the canopy may be related to the heat, or it could simply be nutrient reallocation due to the current stage of development. I have increased my nitrogen levels by 0.2–0.3 EC (blue formula) since day 19 of bloom while maintaining the red formula. 🙂 In my earlier entry, I mentioned that the plants might be further along in bloom than officially logged; they were already in the light-deprivation transition window prior to the 12/12 switch (albeit only 10 hours of darkness). Consequently, the actual flower day is likely 33–34, which suggests they are prioritizing bud production over canopy health. I’ve consistently observed this to be normal behavior for this specific phenotype :)

Hey guys! Sorry for the late update, I've been hella busy lately! 😱 This week was good and for that very reason it was uneventful. I did some defoliation to let the lower branches receive more light and it seems the plants received it well. 😁 Matcha still has some weird looking leaves 😰 but I suppose those are old leaves and they are just there because I didn't cut them earlier. Pistachio in another hand is doing great! 😍 I also took some photos of their roots, they look interesting! I suppose they are that way because the root mass below them must be huge. Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks everyone for reading! 👋

3/18 🦍🍓Z🍓🍑👍👍👍 gave them water and cal mag yesterday. They are doing good strawberry gorilla is a little close to the light but I also have the light at 91 W until I see some burning. I’m not goi raise it up because of the other two plants in there, but as long as they’re cool and I don’t see any damage should be OK. 3/19💦💦💦🦍🍓🍓👍 3/21🍓🦍🍓🍑💦💦 A little more than 1 gallon split between the four of them the CBD did not need a lot of water. She’s growing really slow. There may be something wrong with the soil because I have too many plants in there she may be absorbing the humidity while the other ones are drying out. It’s a weird dynamic when you have four different plants growing in the same tent one seems to dry out faster and the other one will hold water 👍👍👍👨‍🌾 3/23🍓🍓🦍🍑cbd💦💦💦

DAY 66 from EMERGENCE......still struggle with RH. Made adjustments with set up to increase circulation/airflow. Hard to see thru jewlera loop sometimes Clear: 40-50% Cloudy: 35-45% Amber: 5-10% White pistols are 40% orange. Any brown hairs are from mechanical damage of me leaning over and I brush the top colas. I know I know. I wear full PPE. Always wear gloves if possible. Keep clean! STARTING FLUSH TODAY. 7-10 days (I know studies say you DO NOT have to flush, especially with hydro, I would with soil, but that's my opinion). Might add some bloom depending on how they look. RH: 45-50% Temp: 74⁰F. VPD: 1.3-1.6 (i know) H2O temp: 72⁰F (I know).... 3 circulating fans, 1 air intake, 1 exhaust. Vents open or tent open to help with stats. Last week blizzard, this week rain for 6 days. Usually open windows for fresh air but can't. Added dehumidifier to lung room and standing oscillating fan to keep air moving in lung room. ALL IS GOOD IN THE HOOD. STAY GOLDEN PONYBOY....HAPPY 🌲💨

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

Hey Growers. The cup was misted and a 350ml waterfall off the top of a solo cup to encourage the inoculation of the Gaia green and the first roots to search easily for water. May be bullshit but I find it helps to not drown a seedling. 🤷‍♂️🏻 I’m dialing in my XS2000 trying to keep them as low and stacked as possible bc she’s a tall strain and my tent is a 5ft. I’ll probably have to do my poor man’s light mover technique again but I have no problem with that and the plants loved one in and one out of direct light. Happy Growing 🌱

I was on a Holiday for 4 Days - when i came back, i saw that all branches with a LST-Clip completely snapped, because it grew so fast and did not resist the pressure. There was no chance to fix it, so i took these branches off, so I only had 4 of 8 mainbranches left 😣😭😭😭 I started to Scrog both plants now - especially the Lemon Cherry Cookies on the left needs more space for light. The papaya Cookies will now be tied down in all 4 directions, that the remaining 4 mainbranches can produce a lot more sidebranches and Buds in the end. I had to make the best out of it.

Things are coming along here now, won’t be too much later for these plants. Probably start thinking about flushing 2 of them soon, I suspect the soil is loaded with a high ratio of nutes, think next time won’t use the high nute soil and go for total control. Already harvested one plant already, it was the smallest one, a bit early but she was milky and a few ambers, think she got me 25.55 dry in jar now. Letting the Others hit 50 % amber before harvest those. Two in back big stretch on them,the one left in front short and fatter, say she going next in a bit

Hi Grower! Day 107Complete Day 48 Flower This strain just keeps getting better and better. It's amazing how it smells. Like cherry gelato !! Next week I'll get my Purple Pro, which means I can measure the THC / CBD ratio at the end of the grow and I'm more than excited about that !! A very educational and super grow, maybe even the reason that I will switch to photoperiodic plants. follow me on Instagram for the best Shoots of all my Strains: bud_spencer_of_herbs Grown under Spiderfarmer SF-1000 When you want to grow with the same professional Equipment then Checkout this Link https://www.spider-farmer.com/?ref=budspencer
