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

Have got the soil good ph i am pretty sure. I have got good growth out of the last week and few inches and some fan leafs and they look just barley burned and they are way happy standing up so I am thinking (fingers crossed) that I have got it under control. Going to do a trim and take some clones in the next week. Then a train for a couple weeks and put her in in flower tent get used to that light and flower her see what I get. Still just doing declorinated water at 6.5 let the soil do her job. LOVE

Week 1 Report: Nurturing the Essence of Blackberry Auto Greetings, fellow cultivators! It's time for a detailed Week 1 report on the progress of my Blackberry Auto. This little marvel is not just a plant; it's a canvas for a nutrient symphony, a masterpiece in the making. Our journey starts with a delicate transplant into a petite pot filled with nutrient-rich soil and a generous touch of Mycor Mix. This mix, boasting various mycorrhizae species, is the secret sauce for expanding the root system and paving the way for efficient nutrient uptake. The stage is set for a robust foundation! Enter the Regulator – the elixir for plant strength and resilience. With each watering, this cornerstone of my nutrition program acts as a transporter, enhancing nutrient absorption and bioavailability. The patented formula dances with natural plant mechanisms, ensuring the right nutrition at the right time. It's not just watering; it's a performance of nutrient precision! As the week unfolds, the magic of CaMg-Boost unfolds. This organo-mineral powerhouse prevents calcium and magnesium deficiencies while orchestrating a symphony of powerful fruit set and development. A key player for a firm and high-quality end product, CaMg-Boost is the maestro of mineral balance in my cannabis opera. Week 1 is where the magic happens with All-in-One Liquid. This 100% mineral-based fertilizer is a versatile companion, adaptable from the vegetative phase to the flowering/maturation phase. Its unique manufacturing process laughs in the face of pH-variations, embracing a wide pH-range. The plant is not just fed; it's serenaded with a harmonious blend of essential nutrients. The week crescendos with Startbooster, a specially formulated organic root and growth stimulator. This 100% biological potion, enriched with active organic ingredients, becomes the conductor of root development and vegetative growth. Microbial life joins the orchestra, enhancing root hair development, conditioning the soil, and providing bioavailable nutrition during this crucial vegetative phase. As I stand witness to the dance of nutrients and the growth of Blackberry Auto, I'm reminded that cultivation is not just a science; it's an art. Join me in this horticultural symphony, where every nutrient is a note, and every leaf is a stroke on the search for green perfection! Genetics Blackberry Auto @Fast_Buds Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life

Week 4 now and on full out cruise control. Nothing to report as the plants are doing great. Replaced a carbon filter causing heat issues due to it being plugged.

la verdad esperaba mucho de esta sepa pero aun me toca probarla vamos a ver que tal, esta sepa la tuve en un mismo armario con otras 3 variedades de la misma marca y solo con esta tuve digamos un retraso notable a su crecimiento según mi percepción es sensible a podas, es una planta bastante baja y solo esta de las 6 planta que tuve le salieron semillas en las flores de la parte mas baja, eran pura hoja y también crecieron de manera muy extraña ya que eran solo hojas como enrolladas y con un color a limón muy claro que era donde tenia mas semillas, pero lo de su parte superior crecieron bien. no se si fue un error de mi parte o no supe cuidar esta planta pero tendré que volver a intentarlo.

Little brucey starting to fatten up for sure as she looks she mite produce some big colas,the smell is insane and so sticky wow and amount of resin she have its a wow ,I’ve should trained her a bit due to not much space in the tent just left her as it is ,not long now 💪🔥🎄💦

Week 2 - Nutrient regimen: 0.5 ml Armor Si + 1.5 ml CalMag + 6 ml FloraMicro + 9 ml FloraBloom + 2.5 ml RapidStart + 1 ml Floralicious Plus. Used at 2/3 strength diluted with decholorinated water and ph'd to 5.8. 9/14/2019 (V10) - Neem oil extract treatment seemed to have worked! Runoff from nutrient feeding presented no more bugs, but will probably give an additional neem dose prior to 1 gallon transplant. Growth appears stagnant possibly stemming from previous larvae contamination, but root growth is evident in above picture and stems no longer need support. 9/18/2019 (V14) - Seems to be growing at glacial pace. Leaves getting broader, but no third node visible yet, and no apparent vertical growth. Humidity in upper 40's and temperature at 74F. Tiny runoff in red cup seemed to spur the root growth out bottom of transparent cup.

Here is the ugly duckling. She does not work, has suffered more from life in a pot and continues to get naughty with irrigation. I'm basically keeping her a little underwatered. She's under close observation. After the storm I will evaluate whether to fertilize. She's the strain in which I place the most expectations.

8/10 Hurried morning. Today was water day and the hose fucked up. Dad got it working while I filled half the jugs needed with water and the requisite amount of plant doctor. I gave the preventative dose (which is 1/2 tsp per gallon but I upped it closer to 1 tsp per gallon) on the plants that have received the three full treatments, the 10th planet in the middle and the chemdog. The rest received their last full dose. I had watered the NATURAL mk ultra and other tenth planet yesterday so I'm waiting until tomorrow when the need water to give them their treatment. Other than the 10th planet I'm worried things are going pretty good. Tjat's probably tine too. I certainly wouldnt have even noticed it a few years ago. I only bought like half the amount of soil as last year and really tried keeping costs down. These aren't the biggest plants I've grown but I'm grateful for what I have. I'm working hard to get the most out of them I can. I'm planning to give it a few days and then feed later in the week. EDIT: I THINK I got my grow question deleted. Finally. It's strange that I didn't get ONE outdoor growers response. Doesn't matter. I figured out the best course of action. I'm lucky. Or maybe I just work hard. I defoliate twice a day. I have some pruning to do on the interior of a COUPLE plants. I've cleaned them up pretty good this year. No signs of ANY wpm which is great but suprisinging considering the rh and the rolling fog most mornings. 8/11 I gave the tenth planet in the back and the mk ultra I didn't get yesterday. The mk ultra got the preventative dose (upped from 1/2tsp to 1tsp) and the 10th planet tge full dose. I'll have to check but I think this is the last cure dose for everyone. Found a pillar INSIDE a bud on the special kush that's far ahead. Then you can see on the video a HUGE cut worm or something on the branch I pull down. Luckily I saw it. Wasn't there when I got back but it took a few bites. Looked on the camera and saw a bird swoop in and grab him. Thank the lord! It's going to be 100° today and tomorrow with heat advisory in effect. I'm going to have to treat these plants for pests/pillars some how. I might just use BT and my super alkaline water. The septoria is under control and I'm just afraid spraying anything would make things worse. I'm certainly jot going to let them eat my early flowering plant. I can't apply ANYTHING in this heat. I'll research and maybe if it gets low enough tonight I might be able to do something. I'm going to go back over and check that plant going branch by branch. That one 10th planet tgat WAS the biggest plant is severely stunted amd has some "strange" looking leaves. I wasthinking about getting it off property or just chopping and burning but I figure it's been in there long enough that the others could be infected. I think it spreads through pests if that's the case then it might be better to get rid of it. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I'm going to stop and try to get some mulch today. EDIT: I found a place I can get a bale of straw and I think I'll use that to mulch. It's almost a 100°. After killing the pillar this morning and missing that cutworm I came back over to REALLY look at the special kush in later flower. I looked through every branch and every bud. I found four pillars on that plant. No REAL damage yet and extremely small. I had to pull buds apart to find them. It's like they were hiding from the heat. That was miserable hand picking them in 100° degree weather. Luckily the bird feeders are close but the bigger birds chase the smaller ones. The smaller birds have found a new food source and perch on my cage waiting. I'm leaning towards treating the flowering plant with BT-k. Seeing that tge citric acid WON'T kill fungus I'll just use OUR super alkaline water and hope for the best. Nothing will get treated during this weather. 8/11 IT reached 105° yesterday and I had a family medical emergency. Came over this morning to several plants drooped right over despite me checking MD day and them being fine. Phone dodnt charge so I couldn't get pictures. Watered everything but the ones that got it yesterday cause they looked good and still had weight. I had to leave before the ones that were down could pick back up. The kush plants seem to tolerate this heat much better. Beside the ones in the 10s tge others are taking this hear fine. I'll update when I get back.

Hey fellow growers week 9 update of my critical purple and pineapple auto grow. Well today all 4 plants are 63 total days old. Critical purple #2 is now in week 6 of 🌸 the other 3 are in forth week of 🌸. This will most likely be critical purple #2's last update as she will be harvested this week hopefully! No big changes this week from last besides Pineapple auto #2 is still not happy and critical purple #1 is thickening up nicely! Well here's what I did to the ladies this week... 10/30/21 Watered all plants Ph 6.2 178 Ppm 1ml ph down Solution temp 73.2°F 11/3/21 Critical purple#1 & Pineapple auto #1 2ml micro 3ml bloom Ph 6.31 420 Ppm Solution temp 70.0°f Critical purple #2 still flushing! 5ml flora kleen Ph 6.24 185 Ppm Solution temp 74.6 Pineapple auto #2 2ml micro 3ml bloom Ph 6.5 430 Ppm Solution temp 74°f Here's my link for discounts on merchandise from viparspectra: https://www.viparspectra.com/?aff=Wackytabacky420&utm_source=affiliate Coupon code: Wackytabacky420 Well guys it's been a crazy week so I'm gonna wrap this up till next week. Best of luck and Happy Growing!😎🌱💚💪💪

3 Weeks of VEGETATION I’m absolutely thrilled with how things are going. It has a rich, lush green color.🌱🌿 The cress I used as a mulch layer has grown beautifully and still looks really nice.😍 It handles full sun more than just fine... and the little Frostbanger seems to have adapted very well to the nutrient content of the Living Soil.

BANANA PURPLE PUNCH - 420 fast buds - week 7 Wow what a strain. Got this a freebie with an order I placed and it’s turnt out to be the star of the show. The buds are super dense like Cali strains, super smelly like berries and gas’s and also super purple and pink. WHAT A STRAIN BRO LOL already flushing for 2 weeks as she’s more than mature and ready to go. Haven’t even tasted her yet and defo buying this strain next grow. DRSHOTZUK

The buds are still growing and I have already discovered the first amber-coloured trichomes on Bruce Banner and S.A.D. #4. I think the harvest will be ready in 2-3 weeks. Until then, I will continue to observe the trichomes with the microscope.

The big one and the second big one are interesting, the small one idk about. my ph meter broke and Hannah Instruments sent me a new probe. When I got it and checked run off everything was fucked up so I did a heavy flush on everything and a feed. Found some shit called Gnatrol on Ebay for the fungus gnats larvae added to the mix idk if it will work tho. Pictures were taken on Day 7 of Bloom

Primera semana. De mis plantitas. Creciendo sanamente. Hay 2 que se quedaron un poco atrás en crecimiento, las 17 restantes todas parejas. Esperemos que sigan creciendo de forma normal y sin problemas.

Third plant that started as worst seed and was in slightly worse soil setup and pot actualy seems to be on the way to become the most yielding one. Thanks to its bigger pot (16 l instead of 12 l) and one more week of veg it grew the largest. This week i got back home from my summer trip and applied some low stress training to get more sun to the bottom leaves. By the 7 weeks I was gone the plants were fed just water and still look amazing to me. Hight of the tallest plant is 65, and the other two are 55 and 50.

New Plant New Adventure 💚🌱

Heute wurden die Mädels getoppt und alles haben es sehr gut verkraftet
