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 4/1 7 AM I did a video starting with black tan GT Julian’s trailer Park boys seed next is Ricky’s hash plant and then it goes over to ice – T and the multicolored one at the front is the combination bubbles blueberry and gelato 44 that I made I called a blueberry knockout 4/1 12pm We're gonna need a bigger TENT!!!💐🌼Humboldt Seed company email today...Im doing this!!! https://californiahempseeds.com/garden-seeds/ 4/5 12:57AM Today 500 years ago Jesus escaped from his stone coffin and began feasting on the blood of local rabbits, and thats the story of Easter. Makes total sense, he's the ONE J in all of history that thinks he's a god....sure Jan. Who's up for a fun game of Christians vs. Lions down at the old Colosseum today??

not been a good grow. but it's ok. all part of learning process. i think the soil i used this time is not good. but one of the gals died. she sprouted late and slow growth and just never bounced back. probably overwatered as well. im not sure. but its ok. 2 of the gals doing well. another 2 just kinda slow.

She looks and smells amazing. I wanna talk specifically about her amazing mango smell just pure mango,you'll only be able to feel it if you grow her 100% the organic way. It's a must,you don't think about smoking her when you smell it you think of eating her it's just so yummy,definitely I want to grow this amazing somango auto plant by gea seeds every time I can. 💚🌱💎🤤

Looks to me that the flowering transition has begun! I did some light defoliation, and LST. 1 Gallon dosage of the above listed nutrients lasts for about 3 days, before drying out, and ready for the next dosage!

Added a second scrog net for the taller plants last Friday. Constantly defoliating to increase light penetration but not trying to stress the plants. (Selective leaf picking) Plants loved the tea I have them last week. Visual improvements in every plant 2 days later. Top dressing later this week on 9/29: 5 tablespoons Gaia green 444 5 tablespoons Gaia Green 284 15 tablespoon Wiggle Worm Earth Worm Castings Light increased to 75%

This week the GMO cookies started to bounce back fast an hard from the leaf strip. At the start of the week all 3 girls got 1tsp of grow an bloom from roots organic dry amendments along with a feed of elemental at every watering at 1/4tsp per gallon of RO water. Add half 1/4tsp of dynomyco to the water also for some of that extra root support. Other then that slight adjustment on the tie downs an just letting the one on the right side just do her thing. Thanks for viewing an happy growing mates!

Before starting this final smoke review, I want to quickly apologize once again for the harvest report being uploaded on the previous flowering week instead of the official harvest tab. GrowDiaries has been acting a little complicated lately with harvest and smoke review updates, and instead of risking losing photos or information again, I decided to play it safe and upload everything there. So all the harvest, drying and trimming photos are already available in the previous report for everyone who wants to check the full process visually. 🌱 With that said… Welcome to the final chapter of this beautiful Amnesia Skunk journey. ✨ This report focuses mainly on the curing process, trimming philosophy, smoke review, aromas, preservation, and everything that happened AFTER harvest day. Because honestly… harvest is not the end. It’s just the beginning of the flower becoming medicine. After drying, every single bud was carefully hand trimmed, exactly like explained in the previous report. No machines. No shortcuts. No aggressive trimming. Just scissors, trim bins, patience, and intention. Hand trimming is slower, yes. But it preserves the integrity of the flower in a completely different way. The shape stays natural, the resin stays attached, the trichomes stay protected, and the flower keeps its personality instead of becoming overly processed. Everything was saved. The flowers. The sugar leaf. The trim-bin collection. The resin from the scissors. Even the finger hash that naturally builds up while trimming sticky flowers for hours. And honestly… these girls were incredibly generous. The trim-bin collection itself produced beautiful little resin balls full of aroma and character. Sticky, soft, fragrant, and surprisingly potent for something many people would simply throw away. And now… after months of curing… we are finally smoking this beautiful medicine. And wow. This one is honestly difficult to explain properly. The best way I can describe it is: it feels like a sunset walk on the beach. Warm. Gentle. Uplifting. Comforting. Peaceful. Colorful. She’s fruity. She’s punchy. She’s sweet. She touches herbal notes without becoming earthy. She’s fresh but deep at the same time. It’s one of those profiles that somehow feels like everything and nothing simultaneously. Nothing screams too loudly. Nothing dominates. Everything works together. Both phenos ended up being surprisingly similar in terpene profile as well. Different plants, same soul. And curing only made everything better. The aromas did not disappear with time. They intensified. Every jar opening became louder, deeper, sweeter, smoother and more aromatic than before. The inhale became softer, the exhale became creamier, and the overall smoking experience became incredibly comfortable over time. This is a long-lasting flower too. Not only in terms of effect duration, but also in how long the flavor stays dancing in the mouth after exhaling. The buds themselves stayed extremely dense and compact all the way through cure. Beautifully structured flowers with that satisfying weight and firmness you instantly notice when holding them. One thing that genuinely surprised me during curing was comparing storage methods. Part of the flower was cured traditionally in glass jars. Another part was stored inside the Zamnesia metal vacuum curing containers that came with the setup. And honestly… I noticed a difference. The flower stored inside the vacuum container seemed to preserve aromas slightly better and felt more expressive when opening the container. The terpene profile felt a little louder, brighter and fresher compared to the traditional glass jars. And that actually makes sense. Oxygen is one of the biggest enemies of long-term terpene preservation. Vacuum-style storage reduces the amount of oxygen surrounding the flower, slowing oxidation and helping preserve volatile aromatic compounds for longer periods. It doesn’t magically change the flower. But it absolutely helps preserve what is already there. And with a terpene profile like this one… preservation matters. As for effects… This is simply happy medicine. Not chaotic. Not overwhelming. Not heavy. Just… genuinely uplifting. Clear. Warm. Positive. Relaxed. The kind of flower that makes you want to walk slowly near the ocean while the sun disappears in the distance. Honestly, I could genuinely see this being a very comforting medicine for people struggling with sadness, low mood, emotional heaviness or difficult days. There’s something emotionally light about this cultivar that feels very welcoming and peaceful. And comparing the cured flower to the charas and trim-bin resin was also extremely interesting. The terpene profiles stayed very similar between them all, which was beautiful to notice. But the charas had this extra layer of freshness and brightness that almost felt “alive.” Maybe because it came directly from fresh living material. Maybe because of the way fresh resin expresses itself. Maybe because charas simply carries a different soul. Whatever the reason… it was heavenly. And now, as this diary finally comes to an end, I just want to send love and gratitude to everybody who was part of this journey. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron for the nutrition. To the gear that kept everything running day after day. To the platform itself. To the GrowDiaries community. To the longtime followers and OGs. To the new people just discovering the page. To the curious ones. To the silent supporters. To the lovers. To the skeptics. To the haters. To the people who only stopped for 5 seconds. And to the people who stayed here from seed until smoke. Thank you. Truly. 🌱 This chapter may be closing… But another one is already opening somewhere else in the garden. Stay tuned.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

68 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 Eleventh week of growing my SUNSET SHERBET AUTOMATIC 🍨🍨🍨 Nutrients: For the POWER BUDS Contest – Zamnesia + Plagron (seeds and nutrients as sponsorship) Nutrients: During this period I only add flushing - Advanced Nutrients Flawless Finish - For plants, rinsing is very important to get rid of pollutants, fertilizer salts, toxins and other harmful substances, so your harvest smells better, tastes better and therefore commands a higher price 😋👌 Advanced Nutrients Flawless Finish is the only product that is completely safe for plants and very effective 💚⭐ Supplement for more efficient flushing of the substrate from fertilizers in the final phase 🌾💓 It contains powerful cleansing ingredients called EDTA along with special ingredients like citric acid 🍋 and magnesium sulfate. It can also be used in case of over-fertilizing the plant 💩 It is also suitable for hydroponics and aeroponics 🌴🌿 -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------- In general: SUNSET SHERBET AUTOMATIC 🍨🍨🍨- The girl's leaves are completely yellow and dying 🍂. I think the girl didn't handle the ph 😥 somehow I couldn't keep it right despite using Biobizz PH regularly- 😕 Her main cola has really grown a lot, she is strong, massive 🏵️🌸. I will definitely harvest it this weekend 💚 Unfortunately I got mosquitoes/Sciaridae dark mold in my tent so I planted yellow sticky rosehips and sprayed the plants with homemade nimbus oil spray which is organic Training: Since the girl grew like this, she doesn't even have many leaves and her branches are automatically shaped the way they are, so no extra training, I just removed some yellow and dead leaves 🌞💚🍂🍂 Buy seeds on Zamnesia Seeds website with discount code: ZAMMIGD2023 - 20% off ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ https://www.zamnesia.com/ 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆 Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50 cm between the light and the plants, so I move it up regularly. But with this plant, the gap between the tip and the light is about 5 cm 💡💡💡 Thanks for the likes and you can follow me on X / ❌: @ Targona666 See you soon 😍
