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

Nun ist es offiziell. Meine Pflanzen blühen. Obwohl beide so unterschiedlich sind, die ist 50 und die andere 40cm groß, haben beide gleichzeitig angefangen zu blühen. Beim nächsten mal gießen kommt dann der erste Dünger dazu. Plagron alga bloom. Ich nehme wie manche Leute empfehlen nur die Hälfte, da es sich um automatics handelt. Am Samstag habe ich nun das erste Mal gedüngt. 5ml auf 1l Wasser Pragron alga bloom. Sonntag habe ich mein Pflanzen gemessen. 70 und 48cm. Meisterlich Ich werde eine Woche nicht bei meinen Pflanzen sein können. Sie werden von Dritten gepflegt werden. Also Wasser und Dünger geben. Denke zweimal Wasser wird reichen. Dann nächste Woche wieder mehr.

🌿 Eindverslag – 24K Gold Kush (WeedSeedShop) Kweekduur: 10 weken bloei Type: Indica-dominant (Kosher Kush × Tangie) Kweekmethode: Indoor (grond / LED) Verslagperiode: Week 1 t/m oogst --- 🔸 Algemene indruk De 24K Gold Kush leverde een zeer harsrijke en aromatische oogst op. De soort combineert de krachtige body-stoned effecten van Kosher Kush met het fruitige, opwekkende karakter van Tangie. De planten bleven compact (70–90 cm), met stevige zijtakken die goed gevuld raakten met dichte, glinsterende toppen. --- 🌸 Bloei-overzicht per fase Fase Periode Belangrijkste ontwikkelingen Vroege bloei (week 1–3) Overgangsfase met sterke rek (stretch). Eerste bloeiharen zichtbaar. Licht stikstofrijk schema. Midden bloei (week 4–6) Toppen zetten sterk aan. Intens aroma van citrus en diesel. Sterke harsvorming start in week 5. RH teruggebracht naar 45%. Late bloei (week 7–8) Toppen verdikken, trichomen worden melkachtig. Minder stikstof, extra PK-voeding toegepast (PK 13/14 1 ml/L). Rijpingsfase (week 9–10) ± 15–25 % amber trichomen. Flush gestart met pH-gecorrigeerd water. Geur extreem intens, plant klaar voor oogst. --- 🔬 Trichomen & rijping 80 % melkachtig, 15 % amber, 5 % helder bij oogst. Dit zorgde voor een evenwichtige high: eerst euforisch en creatief (Tangie), daarna ontspannen en zwaar (Kosher Kush). Ideaal voor zowel avondgebruik als creatieve ontspanning overdag in lage dosis. --- 💧 Klimaat & verzorging Parameter Gemiddelde waarde Temperatuur dag 25 °C Temperatuur nacht 19 °C Luchtvochtigheid (bloei) 45 % pH voeding 6.3 Watergift 1,5–2 L per plant, 2–3× per week Voeding Organische voeding + PK 13/14 in late bloei Flush Laatste 10 dagen, enkel water --- ✂️ Oogstresultaat Kenmerk Waarde Oogstdatum Dag 70 van bloei Drooggewicht ± 420 g/m² Topstructuur Compact, glinsterend, amberkleurige trichomen Geur & smaak Citrus, sinaasappel, diesel, kush, licht zoet Effect Ontspannend lichaamseffect, milde euforie, langdurig high THC-gehalte (geschat) 20–24 % CBD-gehalte 1 % --- 🌬️ Drogen & curen Gedroogd bij 20 °C en 50 % RV, gedurende 10 dagen. Daarna gecured in glazen potten, dagelijks luchten eerste 2 weken. Na 4 weken curing: geur nog complexer (fruitig + aards), rook zachter en romiger. --- ✅ Eindbeoordeling Eigenschap Score (1–10) Groei & vitaliteit 9 Opbrengst 8.5 Harsproductie 9.5 Geur & smaak 9 Makkelijkheid kweek 8 Algehele tevredenheid ⭐ 9/10 Conclusie: 24K Gold Kush is een betrouwbare, potente soort voor kwekers die houden van een fruitig kush-profiel met veel hars. Ze vergeeft kleine fouten, reageert goed op training en beloont met zware, glinsterende toppen. Ideaal voor zowel recreatief gebruik als extracten (rosin / hasj).

Welcome to week 3F of growfessor theatre, 4x4 edition. The ladies are looking happy and healthy. Do-si-dos received a heavy defoliation, there were a ton of small inner branches starved for light, so they got cut. LSD, Green Crack and Mandarin dreams all received a light defo, yellowing leaves were removed. Lighting provided by Mars-Hydro TSW2000. Thanks for stopping by, tune in next week growfessors for the next episode 👽🌳💚

Week 3 – Day 22 (Veg) White Widow #1 was topped this week and received her first round of light LST 🌿✂️ She also moved into a 15L fabric pot and was watered with 2.5L 💧 Unfortunately, even an EC of 0.8–0.9 was too much for her 😕 She showed signs of overfeeding, likely from too much nitrogen. To reduce stress, I lowered the DLI to 27 ☀️ Right now, she’s my main concern – not in great shape, but slowly recovering 💪 Next watering will be with a reduced EC of around 0.5 to help her bounce back 🌱 Looking ahead to Week 4: 🔹 Watering volume will be increased to 4–5L depending on need 🔹 I checked root development by opening the fabric pots – looking promising! 🧐 🔹 LST will continue, and some larger fan leaves might be removed to improve airflow and light penetration 🌬️☀️

Gave her 45ml of bloom and barley and 5ml of grow and she's loving it.

26.05.2026 Hi Growmies! Finally, it’s that time again, my friends! The grow season has begun, and I’m so excited to take this journey with you. This year, I’m growing three Fast Buds strains (Leftovers from last year): Apricot, Tangie, and Papaya Cookies. The germination kicks off on my windowsill, in small pots of about 0.25 liters, filled with Biobizz Light Mix. I can’t wait to see them sprout as I add mycorrhiza to the planting hole. Once they’re strong, I’ll transplant them into 15-liter fabric pots with Plagron Bat Mix. After that, they’ll move outside into my greenhouse, where they’ll fully flourish under the sun. I can’t wait to see what this season brings! All three seeds germinated (as always) although the seeds are from last years grow.I don’t use any additional lights; the natural sunlight is perfect right now. I keep them on the windowsill in the morning, and during the day, I move them to the back of my balcony where they get plenty of sun. Alright fellas, thats it for now, catch you late Smoking_Joe_Frazier

The start of week 5 is going well. Blueberry is smelling nice and my seedlings should be showing preflowers soon.

Candy has been growing good. I switched h her light times today. So her flower adventure is getting started. I will likely be doing a solution change next update for blooming nutrition. I trimmed some of the under growth, and some defoliation in the rest. Everything is looking good, and she seems ready to go. Thank you Spider Farmer, Athena, and Divine Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

I took the plant out of the box, the lights on the bloom were hot due to the lack of a box, it was cold outside but there is no other way yet. let’s see what comes 🙏🏻

42 days of flowering, the girls are incredibly colorful and fragrant. Purple Punch X Do-si-dos is coming to an end and Zombie Kush will soon be smelling of flowers with a hint of lavender, two Strawberry Bananas are hopefully running out and the third Strawberry Banana is developing beautifully. I'm starting to have problems with the temperature in the house, I'm not drowning I'll hope ..! I love the colors of autumn and Purple genetics 💜👑

Tsking to there new pots well

Went into this week just using mute from fox farm ocean then began nutrients due to deficiencies, getting in under control but overall doing well also started 3 new plants going to start a diary for them soon

11/08 - I have never had a plant with more trichomes on it... I defoliated a couple of days ago and it was akin to doing a wet trim - fingers and scissors were all sticky! @SwissKush told me it would be filled with resin but not even that warning prepared me for this! Just amazing... Her buds are bulking up and I'm just in awe... just in awe... 11/10 - changed out her reservoir yesterday and was very interested to note that her root system is about half of what my #2's is... which only makes sense given the abuse I showered on this lady at the beginning of her life. One result of that is a far more compact plant ... but damn is she frosty! She's looking good, happy with her new and elevated nutes.... all's well! 11/12 - Happy as a clam, buds are all bulking up and everything is frosty... Still have plenty of weeks (4?) to go. 11/14 - Have had a houseguest for the last couple of days... while I love some company once in a while, it really interferes with my daily routine so I've missed a few of the daily photos. She's doing well and just keeps getting frostier and frostier!

Ahí vamos ✌️👍🍀

Day 8 08/07/24 Monday Light water with De-chlorinated tap pH 6.2 with half t spoon of DyNoMyCo. They seem to be loving it!! Germination week complete, Let's start the VEG 🤩 Updated short video
