Into week 8 - I think I've managed to time these well... yes, they've had 40C+ temps - but only in the really final weeks and I bunched them towards the wall so they got more shade and less of the infernal sunshine. Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing... the heat is good but it sends them crazy and stunts their growth really badly. Feed schedule is mostly the same except in the last 10 days I've skipped the feed on 2 nights because I wanted to make sure they've extracted all they can from the soil/water/nutrients. It's also a bit of an experiment to see if it pushed the calyxes to swell a (little) bit more? I've got some photos running alongside these and I might make a diary for them as well. The very last plant in the video above is the Sweet Seeds "Gorilla Girl XL" - amazing colours that the camera can't pick up properly. My pick of the bunch aesthetically, she exploded beautifully. The very first plant is the Barney's "Gorilla Glue" auto - this and one of the "Sweet Mimosa XL's" seem to be a week slower than the others. Still a lot more furry than finished :)

Zum ersten Mal habe ich mich im LST versucht. Denke dass ich darin noch etwas zu grob bin. Für konstruktive Kommentare, Kritik und Verbesserungsvorschläge bin ich immer offen und dankbar :)

13/06/25: Last week of these autos in the grow box, weather is clearing up and they will move outside soon! The Plan to give them a little jumpstart in the early veg is coming together nicely and they took the repotting like nothing at all! 14/06/25: vigorous growth. 3 days since repot; and i can already see roots at the drainage holes, insane! 17/06/25: Started hardening off by putting the plants outside in the evening (6 - 8pm) ☀️ 18/06/25: Hardening off from 4 -8pm, and I could already see the first pistils at the top nodes...tbh honest I hoped to get a few more days or even an extra week of veg but stretch is already incoming! 😔 I directly Repotted to ~13 L per plant and put some extra perlite into the final soil so I can get some decent roots on these ladies! I guess we learn as we grow 19/06/25: Today they got direct Sun from 2 - 6 pm and will stay outdoors from now on!

Last day of week 4 and the girls are looking well, growing and thickening up well. No problems so far. If you're following along make sure you follow my Instagram and YouTube for more in depth details on my grows. Both links can be found on my profile. Instagram.com/flavoursuk_v3

RQS Diesel Automatic is about one week above ground now and looking strong. Just getting water so far. Will start some LST on her once she starts showing a few nodes. She's front-center in the group pics.

I am missed over time 1 week, now blowing with nutritions. We are in last 2 week run i am very excited she is gorgeous.

Diese Woche geht es los wir drücken die Pflanze deutlich nach unten hinten in einem Bogen und fächern die Triebe weiter auf um sie gleichmäßig zu verteilen.

All in all this was an amazing harvest I usually have around 8-10 plants and harvest anywhere from 24-36 ozs per harvest with the 8 plants I had this harvest including the biscotti mintz and cookies USA I ended up with 898g total dry weight with all top quality flower. I’ve learned some things with all my previous runs when it comes to dialing in my quality and yield and definitely watching for those herms because I like to push my plants to the max when it comes to training ! GMO PUnch -Greenpoint I’m giving this a total score of 7-10! Biscotti Mintz- Barney’s farm Total score 10-10 Cookies USA score 7-10

I joined Grow diaries late in my growing career... I wish I would have found this site sooner.. Enjoy! I personally enjoy growing mephisto genetics. I was very happy with the toof decay grow and end result. I ended up letting this cure for 2 months. It is number 2 in my book so far for my adventure with Mephisto seeds. Walter white is #1. I grew this in colder conditions through the winter of 2019. Super dense buds loaded trichs, very loud smell, and great appeal! I have more of these seeds so I will do a start to finish eventually. Happy growing✌️🏽

Booom! Ya tenemos los cogollos formandose Farmers!! Ya casi no se nota la falta de magnesio por problema con el humidificador pero en breves ya empiezo lo buenoo!😜 mis favoritas las de Barneys Farms!!! espero que os guste farmers buen comienzo de semana!!💚

I harvested my pollen sacks plant looks healthy at this point I dont feed till harvest just water every 3-4 days. think o got 21 more days to go b4 harvest but until then I'm just checking out my trichomes so that I dont harvest to late .....one love and dont forget weed is love so share the love with those you know .......

Although its week 8... We are really at DAY 42!

Week 16 Day 109 and 62 in Flower today 😍 Their Mama went into dark on Day 62 of Flower, so I checked their trichomes today. They all look nearly finished, at least the top buds are all good to go. I will wait another day or two and then they will go into darkness. Next weekend will be a good time to harvest yeay ☀️ They have been fed a little water every two days for the last couple of days. Humidity has dropped quite a bit in the tent but it's still hot. Luckily temperatures are going down a little bit. Can't wait for my little rainbows 🌈 ❤️ Day 111 and 64 in Flower, one last day with light 😍 Added some trich shots of one the clones. Good call to send them into darkness. And guys, the colours aaaaaaaaaaaaah 😍😍😍

Ok here we are, last week. This is my first try so I don't know exactly when to harvest. Leaves are turning yellow and 50% of pistills are brownish, but I don't know if it's ready looking at the trichomes aspect. So what do you suggest? I've posted macros of the trichomes for you to help. Need expert's advice. Thx happy growers!

Last week of flowering and will be cut !!! Very well formed by dense heads along the branches. I just cut one top of the plant and it gave very good results! I smell the fruit! I have made some flush due to nutrients that i gave during flowering...💪

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

È veramente un mostro a parere mio. Cresce a vista d'occhio ogni giorno, ho dovuto rivedere il baldacchino, non smette di crescere.. Quindi ho eseguito ancora Lst. Tra qualche settimana sarà solo lei nella tenda.. Non vedo l'ora perché si è presa già tutto lo spazio
