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/

I gave the girls an organic compost tea for nutrients(1 tsp Blk molasses,1cup worm cast,2 tablespoon kelp,2 tablespoon alfalfa meal,1tablespoon bat guano) and lsted again to get more bushier autos. I also moved my smallest autoflower to my 4x4 tent which is on a 12/12 schedule on 3/18/23

This is actually Week 6, little delayed on this diary.
Grease Monkey is performing beautifully, noticing first signs of fade. Was going to give one more feed before I start flushing, as it could definnetly still use some nutrients!
Buds are bulking incredibly, fat golf ball sized nugs, that real of rubber tires, fastfood/garlic burger, with notes of an oil spill or diesel spill.
Super intoxicating aroma, never smelled anything like this before
Packing on frost amazing, bulking up super well. If it wasn't for the Herm, would've been my best grow yet!

Todas as 3 plantas estao bem , uma ja esta bem colorida as flores , outra esta começando a dar um tom roxo e uma ficou bem pequena e está com os pestilos bem brancos e ficou pequena , foi com certeza uma falha que cometi no preparo do solo. Perdi duas plantas por isso.

Day 12 pushing hard like the last 4 grows. I’m very impressed so far. Maybe a little calcium that’s about it

This week was over 100 heat index for several days but the plants did not require any more water than normal. I feed with compost tea at 600 ppm at the begging of the week the night before the heatwave. Then again with cal-mag water 2 days later in the morning and they have been holding onto steady moisture for 3 days I wanted to hold off on watering because we have some rain in the forecast. I also topped of with a cup of BSF frass and quarter cup of neem seed meal before feeding the compost. Still not Mantis cocoon hatch! Sti have not got clones yet, s i have it cleaned the bottoms or defoliated yet as I want to use them.

Going to stop giving her nutes. I think she’ll be ready in 2 weeks. She’s been an easy grow. Her smell, colors and bud density are wonder

Grow Diaries Report: A Challenging Week 🌱✈️
Week 6 – Plant Update
This week brought a mix of growth and setbacks. While the plant continued to thrive with her characteristic stretch and bushiness, there were a couple of hiccups to navigate—one caused by me and the other by circumstance.
Challenges This Week
Limited LST: Unfortunately, I accidentally half-snapped a branch during training. While the branch is still attached and seems to be recovering, it limited my ability to continue LST effectively this week.
No Photos: I was on vacation during most of the week, so I wasn’t able to document her progress with pictures this time around.
Progress Despite Setbacks
Despite these challenges, she’s looking healthy and continues to grow vigorously. The snapped branch has been gently supported, and I’ll be keeping a close eye on its recovery.
What’s Next?
Allow the damaged branch to heal naturally—no more training on it for now.
Resume LST cautiously next week to manage her height and improve the canopy structure.
Prepare to monitor her closely as I settle back in and ensure she hasn’t faced any additional issues during my absence.
Conclusion
This week had its ups and downs, but overall, she’s pushing through like a champ. Hoping for smoother sailing next week as I’m back to give her the attention she deserves! 🌿
If anyone has tips for dealing with a partially snapped branch, feel free to share below! 😊

Another good week. Watered them twice. I'm not planning on feeding them again. A little defoliation. I definitely think they are in the last 2 weeks before harvest.
Still seeing some nutrient burn developing on the leaves. I don't think I watered enough through the whole grow! I'd love to hear opinions on this!
Took some videos of the buds with an iPhone 12 at 6X magnification. Decent quality!
Otherwise, still looking to successfully harvest these plants! Thinking about the next grow. Probably going to be Auto Strawberry Cheesecake and Auto Anesthesia.
Peace!

Haven't been remembering to post weekly updates! Everything is going great the auto flower girls are budding nicely and the other ladies are starting to flower nicely I'm giving alternating nutrients using a few different fox farm nutrient feed charts with my own take on them from notes an suggestions. This is the part that is so enjoyable but so stressful!

I had to leave the garden unattended for 3 days and when I got back it was really a mess. The top had suprecroped on itself and it totally gave up on growing the main stem. Lots of side branching had to be tucked back in to the net before it became manageable again. Looks well and, besides the mess of branches, it looks like the supercrop didn't cripple her growth.

hellooo growers,❤️
crazy week last week, from police helicopter flying again around and near my growlocation from diffrent hights but not for 15min but more like 6 hours...That's really abnormal so we will see...
and with growing last week was a heavy one because I had my first fungus gnats infestation ,(mystery where they come /came from I think some teleportation lol ) it started really slow but within couple of days it was not a couple but dozens so that was not funny, with some research I came 2the conclusion yellow sticky papers/plates and canna cure was not solving the problem but more running behind the problem.. so that was a mistake.. I read about mites and little nematodes , fascinating stuff, I know very little about them and they where a eye opener on a lot of different ways. love to learn new things..
I think the infestation did some damage in slow grow but I'm not sure because I never grew amnesia auto before and this is my second grow in total so.. but after a couple of days after I released the nematodes and mites i saw i huge diffrent in flying around gnats, and now 11-12 I only saw 2 or 3 in total last 3 days so that's great! the smell is strong already a fine sweet but strong present aroma with a hint of citrus smell, amazing... now and then I close my eyes and focus on the great smell it gives and sometimes with fascination thoughts..
12- 12 I see already some of the girls are growing very good now so that's great to see I give the lady's all 700ppm from canna call/mag agent 20ml a 15 L or Atami callmag 20ml a 15L Canna A& b 35ml a15L rhizotonic 25ml a15L cannazyme 25ml a 15L BAC sillica power 5ml a 15L
canna cure spray every 3the day
lights power draw is 150watt of 480w quantom boards and the viparspectra p4000 also 150watt and the rubol Josephine 50 watt farRed cob is always on 50watt
stay tuned new updates in progress!

Sorry guys as i have not weigh my buds much because ive been smoking them little by little 😂😂👌 so on my first harvest i had 12Gs. And on this one i think about 15-20gs well i need to weigh them when they are dry. Posting now cause i might be busy. Hopefully next grow i will have more time organizing my journals ❤️
