day 29,first day of week 5. 25/09/25 last 3 photos-28/08/25

18cm growth this week. She got bushier too. Doing her own thing.

week intel: its time to harvest some of plants the ones that is mature enough. indica dominant plants will done first always so we should harvest them first because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days stresses : flushing Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week feeding: day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph day 3 : no more feeding from now on day 5 : no more feeding from now on guide of the week : i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave. indica dominant plants will get done 1 or 2 weeks sooner than sativa dominant plants that will often takes more than 8 weeks so be aware to harvest them sooner. my dry and cure style is this: 3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

Pow, opened the door to the flower room and what a pleasant aroma I qas treated to. The Quick Critical smells great. Five weeks of flower completed and another one or two left. Buds are building nicely and putting on noticable size. The hairs are turning brown and the trics are getting cloudy. Leaves are turning yellow and figure that is from the plant consuming all the nutrients. I am getting the feeling, the moment I am waiting for is close. In my humble opinion and not based on any experience, I would think I have another week left before the first one or two plants are ready to be harvested. The other two do not have the same amount of brown hairs. After leaving the flower room I have the smell all over my hands and clothes, love the smell. Let me know what you think and if I have all that yellow leave thing wrong. Input and advice is appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Alles beim Alten, den Ladys geht es gut. Ab Mitte/ ende der Woche kommt das PK 13/14 dazu.

Did a good defol this week and immediately she starts to pray, very cool. Buds are swelling up every day and there is a nice fresh smell in the tent. I will bring it to the end, i think 4 more weeks to go..

Outside girls now inside, hope they will add up a bit of weight, during first 5 days i didn't noticed any changes in bud size, but pots are getting lighter, all leaves praying and i don't see any budrot - so all is good !!! Thinking to give them 3 weeks or so ... Fifth day of the week. Found budrot, had to chop again BIGGEST cola, budrot loves big ;))) But other girls ok, drink 6.5 water, trichs are still clear mostly... Max 3 weeks, min one ... Would love max, but one more budrot and all are chopped. Happy Growing !!!

Week 6 was another strong week for the two Candy Hustle phenotypes. Both plants are now well into flower production, with the buds continuing to gain size and structure across the canopy. The difference between the two phenotypes is becoming increasingly noticeable, especially when it comes to their aroma. 🌿 Resin production is looking very promising at this stage. The flowers and surrounding sugar leaves are developing a heavy layer of trichomes, with some of the larger colas already looking extremely frosty. ❄️ There are still plenty of fresh white pistils visible on several tops, so both plants clearly still have more swelling and development ahead of them. Candy Hustle #1, the plant in the front, is currently developing the more unusual terpene profile of the two. Her aroma is dominated by sweet grape notes combined with a very noticeable mint/menthol character. 🍇🌿 It creates a really interesting combination of sweetness and freshness that is becoming easier to recognize as the flowers mature. Candy Hustle #2 is heading in a different direction. Her aroma reminds me much more of a Skittles-style profile, sweet, fruity and candy-like, although the individual notes are still difficult to describe precisely at this point. 🍬 Both phenotypes are clearly developing their own character now. 🌡️ Temperature: ~25°C 💧 RH: ~55% 💡 Light: 1000–1200 PPFD 🌿 Orgatrex: 1x this week 🌱 BioEnhancer: 1x this week UV is now part of the lighting schedule in this tent as well. Exposure is being increased by 15 minutes every three days until reaching a maximum of 60 minutes per day. No major training was necessary during Week 6. The canopy and branch structure are already established, so the focus now is simply on allowing the flowers to continue stacking, swelling and increasing their resin production. Overall, both Candy Hustle phenotypes are progressing very nicely. The combination of increasingly dense flowers, strong trichome coverage and two clearly different terpene profiles makes them especially interesting to follow at this stage. 🌱❄️ Candy Hustle #1 with her sweet grape and mint/menthol profile is probably the more unusual of the two right now, while #2 is developing that sweeter Skittles-like candy character. 🍇🍬 I’m especially curious to see how much these aromas intensify and change as the flowers move through the final part of bloom. 🔥

Haven't uploaded week 8 so here's a few words about then. I couldn't do much else since I was waiting for some supplies before transplanting them. Overall, it was interesting to learn more about watering. I was definitely underwatering them and I think that contributed for them looking "sad" on week 7. After increasing the amount of water, they started looking better and growing more too. I also sprayed them with bauv. for IPM. About week 9: Supplies arrived so I mixed some Bokashi in the soil mix, filled some 7L vases (made some extra holes on sides, lesson learned from the first weeks hahaha) and transplanted the plants. After that, I watered them some Shrimp FPE to increase microbial life, phosphorus and chitin content in the soil. 2 days later and two of them are looking really happy ( plant 1 and 3)

Decided to add all the photos i have currently the timeline of my grow is kinda off im sorry :( im in week 6 at the moment!

Second week. It's growing very fast now

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

The girls had a big week! Started off with transplanting to their 2 gallon pots early in the week. They showed no stress, or signs of slowing down. With the extra room to spread, the girls were clearly loving their transplant home. Temps were steady around 82 degrees, and RH was kept to a reasonable 60% while they were recovering. I also started with a larger nutrient feed, and will be rotating between regular feed, light feed and then plain water now that they can handle more.

👍 👍 👍

Better week this week Gave another topping and a very little defoliation Still have thrip but hopefully by me killing what i see daily and some help from Dorothy we can do this 👊 Check out the vid Dorothy walks straight over a thrip 🤦‍♂️🏼 Maybe shes full 🤷‍♂️🏼 HAPPY GROWING AND GOODLUCK 🌱😎👊👍✌️

Potted up yesterday and a little lst, this will probably be the last time I run the strawberry lemonade cuttings and hoping to find a decent pheno from the orange punch to keep for at least another run or two.
