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

NEW WEEK 7 OF FLOWERING COOKIES GELATO BY RQS Woohoo soooooo excited 💪🏻🤯🤘🏻 I am normally not so excited with certain things but these grows have definitely made me get excited every new week . It also calms me down a little bit with stress and helps calm my nerves somewhat. Also I am normally not very talkative to others but with the nice community of growers we have here it makes you want to start conversations and it helps knowing you won't get trolled etc . Tomorrow First day update Day 42 cookies gelato Hallo guys/girl's not a lot to say it's a waiting game now. i can take 100 of the same photographs but it gets a bit boring so I will update every day but maybe not ram it full with photos . The cookies gelato are doing good getting frosty but has a way to go for sure and they are drinking a lot and i spilled a lot sometimes getting to back plants but luckily Tray Keep Clean a removable waterproof floor tray to hold soil and fallen leaves. The tray can be taken out easily to wash. Removable and water-proof cleaning easy.👌🏻 ! I made Video again so enjoy 🤘🏻🤘🏻. Come look at my other diaries! I appreciate it a lot 🤘🏻 Day 43 flowering Cookies Gelato This morning with lights out i gave a nice batch of advanced Nutrients It's overdrive time . So far so good humidity good temp good plants looking good. What those grower want more 😎 . The marshydro TS-1000 is doing a great job nothing to complain about top notch . Quickly heat dispersing material aluminum reducing light lost to aisles and walls, it don't get any hotter maybe 2 degrees that's it 👌🏻and increase the light intensity up to 20%, allowing your plants to receive more energy and without burning your plants for maximum headroom. Come look at my other diaries! I appreciate it a lot 🤘🏻 day 44 flowering cookies gelato Nothing really to say other then it's going good . made little photo collage today come have look Come look at my other diaries! I appreciate it a lot 🤘🏻 Day 45 flowering Cookies Gelato Bulking up pretty good hopefully a bit more in the next 2 weeks gave this morning the nutrients they need .today i got package delivered and i was stunned what was in it 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 i will reveal later on but holy hell that made my day and probably week 😂😂 only thing i can say is 8X5 Day 46 flowering Cookies Gelato Damn they like to drink the pots where feeling light so i add almost 1.5L ph6.6 water per plant Other then that 👌🏻👌🏻after this 1 more week ore so with nutrition and then going to flush with flawless finish from advanced Nutrients Day 47 flowering Cookies Gelato Going good not a lot to say plants are loving there environment i. Getting them nice and frosty with TS-1000 i saw some light burn going on the leafs so dim the light a little bit 👌🏻 . Day 48 end of week 7 flowering This week went perfect for the cookies gelato i have noticed that the cookies gelato need at least longer then critical but that's no problem . See you in the next week Growmies Also want to thank everybody for the comments likes etc you know who you all are 👍🏻😍👍🏻 visit www.marshydro.eu for your best gear and use the PROMO CODE: DEVILSBUD

Slow grower , tried my best to keep it healthy .. average at best but I’ll take it

Eccoci qui... Siamo quasi alla fine del cultivo, odore, resina e colore ci sono. Attendiamo solo la maturazione delle cime che richiederà 1 settimana.... NON VEDO L'ORAAAA... Seguiranno aggiornamenti, grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

So this or these ladies are performing splendid..I like the fact that each plant has its own personality..One is nice and tall, the other short and stocky ...I mean it's a joy watching each of them move through a different stage but collectively...it's insane... But thanks for visiting...stay tuned for more weekly updates on this ladies...

Hello everyone, The 3 Afghan skunk plants are doing well 2 of them are growing fast and will put the one in the 10 gallon airpot (39 liter) into flower next week. The other 2 plants need to be transplanted to the 10 gallon airpot and will need to sit in it for at least two weeks before switching into flower. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. Best regards, Growfather

i went to work like 2-3 days not coming home and she is nearly dry out to dead but luckily i came back in time and fix it.

Dutch Passions Shaman Sieben Tage ohne gießen: Shamanin No. 2 sah ziemlich welk aus. Mega Trockenstress aber zwei Stunden nach einem ausgiebigen Tauchbad sieht sie aus, als wäre nichts gewesen. Shamanin No. 1 im 30 Liter Topf hat es Problemlos überstanden. Auf einem der Fotos hat sich eine kleine Spinne perfekt getarnt, die Beine sehen aus wie Stigmen. Shamanin No. 2 braucht auch mehr Wurzelraum, oder eine Tropfbewässerung.

Test

1/20/25 Start of the week She got 3,5 l water with CalMag 3,5ml;Activera 8ml;Algamic 8ml; BioHeave 8ml; BioBloom 5ml; TopMax 4ml. Ph of water going in the soil at Ph 5,3 ppm 344. Soil PH aprox 7 ; Runoff at 6,35 ppm 655. I gotta monitor my purple queen. A off shoot branch is a little loose fro m the main stem. No signs of death of such. Put a rock underneath to stabilize.😁 Gotta keep an eye on her.😃 1/22/25 Another day, she didn't want any water so it's ok. New Pics 😁 1/24/25 So still not want some water? Ok, no problem 😁 She is still fattening the flowers up so i think i will water just tomorrow. Soil has just a tiny bit of moisture.😊 I fixed, or so i think, the broken offshoot branch with wax.😁 Hope it is ok with the wax and the rock to support her😌 New pics , also some videos with microscope because why not 😆 and because 😍purple😍 1/25/25 She got 3,5 l water with: CalMag 3,5 ml ; Activera 8 ml; Algamic 8ml; BioHeaven 8ml; BioBloom 6ml; TopMax 5ml.

SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY Good week, plants has a bit of a nitrogen issues and corrected that with some feed. Found out the mediums levels were below normal and causing some issues. Guess I forgot to top dress with dry amendments in the mess of the twin plant disappearing. Gave them a top dressing this week with some Acti-Sol as I also ran out of Gaia Green. I think I am going to get the big bags of it and store it in my locker. 10KG-20KG each of bloom and Grow. Can use that in my garden as well not just for cannabis should be good I like the product and how it performs overall. Still no word on the missing plant, As the "Show Us What You Got" contest comes to a close I was reassured by @Dynomyco that my progress thus far would be used for the evaluation of how I place in the contest. I will miss out on how the buds and yield compare but I can get this none Dynomyco plant up to speed and even inoculate the medium with some Dynomyco just in time for flowering. SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY This is my diary entry into the Dynomyco Show Us What You Got Contest! #DynomycoShowUsWhatYouGot! @DynomycoShowUsWhatYouGot! @Dynomyco Big Shoutout to @Dynomyco for picking me in their contest. Happy to be involved and as a user of Dynomyco I am curious to see this side by side with my own eyes. I will be honest I am a little skeptical it will show any major differences. but we will see what happens. Some disclaimers, I am still using LABS serum I made, This is also beneficial to the root mass however it's a bacteria based product and not fungal or mycorrhizae like Dynomyco. https://growdiaries.com/giveaways/DYNOMYCO_Show_Us_What_You_Got

She started out rather slowly, and waited pretty long to get into preflower. After some patience feeding and doing foliars, she turned into a behemoth! I can’t even count the number of times I had to defol or the amount of larf I had to remove. She produced a massive amount of semi-dense, fragrant, and frosty buds. Not the craziest I’ve ever seen, but very nice for lower THC genetics. Smells of strong earth with undertones of sweet berries and skunk.

Esta semana más de lo mismo aunque aún no ha terminado...jeje, le tuve que quitar el poso de café xq se le puso una pelusilla un tanto sospechosa(y mejor prevenir que curar ☝️)voy a hacerle un té de hummus, al volver el último fin de semana la he visto con los colores ligeramente más claros en algunas hojas(no sé si falta de nitrógeno o si es un problema de Ph)🤔, estoy planteandome poner mas luz y poner ventilación,🧐 al final de esta semana además quizá empiece a oler a ortiga en la habitación (ojalá 🎃☝️🕺) 🙌👌Quiero que crezca como la levadura!!!!🌵😋

Hello everyone. I can't believe that I am arleady in week 9 overall and d week 4 flowering. All of my ladies are doing well

20.7.

I stoped feeding as we are olmost at closing weeks

Welcome to my Slurircane Fem Diary sponsored by MSNL & Spider-Farmer. Veg Days 19-31 Days since sprouted 29-41 Week 5 & 6 Going well. Growth is slow. But I did top her a lot. And ended up removing a big chunk of her that she was pushing out. (removed her next set above the one on day 35) and topped all nodes then to compensate. So topped 8 times × the main top. Noticed a very light fade in-between the vains, showing a very light mag def. Sprayed with a Epsom Salt Foliar spray 200ppm and dosed her with a 250ppm feed 6.6ph for both. All in all. I'm very happy with how this wk went. Still a few days to go in this week. Growth has been rapid. Doesn't look like it. But, she was much further ahead. I've redid her whole process 3x now. And, each time. It's set her back. 2-3 weeks in this shape with solid LST and she'll be fine. She's going under my SE5000 now with co2. All my 3x3 will be covered. Just waiting on my lux Uni-T meter. (To make my own ppfd map as the lux meter comes with an app that converts your lights lux spectrum into ppfd. You can set your area size. And find which ppfd is in what area of your tent by doing grids tests, software is still in development phase, but looks very promising. Has a 97% match to the apogee brands, they're the ppfd meter you see on all major light markers, and growers that have 700e to spare) Back to this girl. She is a great grower, as I said. Look back at week 4. She could of easily been flipped and made for a mid sized indica. I'm going a different route. And having fun shaping and making an even canopy. She has thin fingered leaves. So, not a bad indica to do a scrog with. But, I think I'll settle for 2 more weeks of growth and good LST and I'll put her to the flip. Thanks for viewing these 2 weeks. Look forward to bringing you more of the new MSNL strain that will soon be under a new light.(SE5000) which she'll be going fully under starting tomorrow. Edit. She's under the light for 2 days now and rapid growth. 1/3rd more co2 intake. Co2: Is at to be upped to compensate for the poxy temp. And its only 2 weeks into summer. Much appreciation to my sponsors from MSNL & SPIDER-FARMER for their products and support.

I did less work in the grow this week, had a busy week. 1. Added 6ml of CALMAG to girl #2/NCH cross on this week’s feeding schedule. 3ml helped in changing its color from yellow to green. 2. Went gorilla mode on the LST, #3 and #4 went great, but I ended up injuring heavily baby girl #2. I guess i didn’t understand she was the fragilest from the very start, RIP main cola. 3. Also, set the buckets apart and topped #3 and #4 again.
