4/20 AM all the photos are looking good. The Tyson’s are done. 👍👍👍🍇⛽️
4/21 4:30AM Took small samples of BTT!!! Smoking now. Heavy hitter right off the tree. she is looking already done Grimm Seeds finish fast once flowering. Wasnt expecting that! I will grow some more and veg longer. I am RE-vegging. Ricky and Bubbles they are almost a year old and I want to keep thiem. Julian can go fu...no Julian was flipped at Week 6 or 8 produced the best tight buds smells like...'tangerines.
4/21 5:04AM VIDEOS 2 MONTEL'S, THE TALL ONE AND 1 TYSON, PUNCH PIE & GELATO 44!!!!
4/21 FLUSHED THE TYSONS WITH JUST WATER AGAIN AND WOW!!!!! LOVE THE RQS TYSON PHOTO PLANTS!!!! THEY ARE STRONG THEY CAN GROW UNDER HIGH STRESS CONDITIONS. I DID TREAT THEM EARLY ON WITH MY OWN WIZARD MAGIC WITH AMINO ACIDS THAT MIGHT HAVE HELPED BUT THEY ARE GREAT 9/10.
4/22 Kasa smart plug model EP-10 FAILED by turning into a strobe after random fails... The bigger ones are fine I have not had any problems, BUT the small ones failed. Thankfully I had them on my internet and not in the grow room!!! Random dropouts, clicks on and off like being hacked, but NO the mini Kasa smart plug failed, the others are good, the strobing on and off would have severely damaged electronics...I did NOT know that could happen! THE MORE YOU KNOW!
4/23 11AM CHOP DAY BOTH Tysons came down. They were ready a while ago. They did GREAT. Underfilled 2 gallon pots. Low light using 2 TS-100-'s at about 50 to 60 Watts. No idea how m;uch i got
4/24 3:20AM Tysons are drying perfectly, great color!!!! Video with Pink Kush and CBG by Seedsman in there
4/26 for 19 a.m. brothers Grimm seeds are way better than I thought they could be as long as I grow them right and one thing I’ve noticed and I may have to do a permutation combination thing on this is that with brothers Grimm seeds I can flip them at ridiculously early rates like four weeks keeping them in a vegetative state for a shorter amount of timing and flipping them I’m still getting auto flower seed and and weight not seed speed auto flower speed and weight so if I flip a black T Tay at four weeks, I’m getting just about the same weight as an auto flower but I’m using less power cause it’s at 12:12 same with all of the brothers Grimm seeds they seem to flip and flower at extremely accelerated rates. It’s really great.
GROK SAID... ""**Yes, you're asking a really good practical question.**
Here's a clear breakdown of how **short-veg photos** (your current style: flip after ~4 weeks) compare to **autos** in your specific low-power, small-tent setup with Brothers Grimm seeds.
### Side-by-Side Comparison (Your Setup)
| Aspect
| Short-Veg Photo (4 wk veg + 8-10 wk flower) | Auto (13-19 weeks total)
| Winner for You? |
|-------------------------|---------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------|
| **Total Grow Time**
| 12–14 weeks
| 13–19 weeks
| Photo (faster) |
| **Light Schedule**
| 12/12 (or 11/13)
| 18/6 or 20/4
| Photo (less electricity) |
| **Wattage / Intensity** | Can safely push higher (140-180W total)
| Usually lower to control heat
| Photo |
| **Yield Potential**
| Smaller plant but decent per plant
| Often bigger single plant
| Similar or slight edge to Photo in your case |
| **Electricity Use**
| Lower (12 hrs/day)
| Higher (18+ hrs/day)
| **Photo wins big** |
| **Risk / Complexity**
| Lower (you control flip)
| Higher (no control over timing)
| Photo |
| **Re-Veg / Cloning**
| Easy
| Not possible
| Photo |
| **Consistency**
| Very good with Grimm genetics
| Good but more variation
| Photo |
### Bottom Line for Your Style
**Your short-veg photo method is actually excellent for you right now.**
- Brothers Grimm photos (Black Tea Tangi, Ricky’s Hash Plant, Montel Dream Widow, etc.) respond **very well** to early flips. You’re already proving you can get solid, frosty buds in small pots without them taking forever.
- Running **two TS1000s at ~140–160W total on 12/12** should give you **comparable or better** results than most autos in the same space, while using **significantly less electricity** and giving you more control.
- You can harvest one tent, flip the next, and keep a near-continuous cycle — something that’s much harder with autos.
### Recommended Parallel Test (Simple Version)
Do exactly what you’re thinking:
1. Take 1–2 strong photos (e.g. Montel or Ricky’s) and veg them only 4 weeks → flip to 12/12 with **two TS1000s**.
2. At the same time, pop 1–2 autos (same strains if possible) and run them on 18/6 or 20/4 with **one or two lights**.
3. Compare yield, quality, smell, and total electricity cost at the end.
You’ll probably find the short-veg photos win on efficiency and control, especially with how well Grimm genetics are performing for you.
**Quick Tip:** When you flip early, keep the lights a bit farther away the first 7–10 days after flip (18–24") to avoid light stress, then lower them as they stretch.
You’re not wasting anything by harvesting smaller plants — you’re learning what actually works in *your* real-life situation (small tents, limited power, limited spoons). That’s smart growing.
Want me to help map out a simple staggered schedule so you always have something finishing? Or tips on how to maximize those early-flip photos? Keep going — you’re on a good path."""💡👨🔬💡

when you grow a feminised photoperiodic outdoors you have to bring time and patience. she is growing and is strong. still no sign of sex. she hasn't really had much stress, so i'm not worried about her turning male. i'll just keep growing her. her sister, RQS Northern Light is also doing very well. both have been given a homemade fertiliser made from aquafaber, coffee grounds and banana peel. they liked it very much.

Howdy Hou.
Let it dehydrate pretty good and it bounced back nicely. Timelapse is 24h from watering it. 1.1ec 6.4hp
Now problems should be gone. Pretty sure this wasnt last time to overwater and try to survive from there. Seems to me that i have to weight pots before planting so i can measure when to water it again. Must be idiot proof plan for me.
Lets get back to budiness when something happens.

Day 1.
The cuttings after being rooted in the special tray were transplanted into small jars and allowed to acclimatize in the appropriate boxes. After a few days we transplanted them into 18 L pots filled with plagron growmix, a prefertilized substrate, and then they were placed inside our cultivation box, the one in the photos. Being a prefertilized substrate we watered with only water with a pH of 6.5 until the water ran out into the saucers. As the 18 L pots are very large, no more water was needed for the first 5 days.
DAY4.
The plants were topped.

🤘😺Week 5 of veg!! Everything is going fantastic, color looks uniform across the board now.. I think 1-2 are a little on the small size for their age but besides that everthing else is great.. everyone is getting a little feed now with every watering and we just started adding a few drops of calmag this week just to stay proactive..we hope to start flowering a week from now but their size will be the determining factor... thank you as always for dropping by friends and happy harvests everyone!! 😽💨

...I decided to do another round of topping today on all plants, this should make 8 main branches from the 4 most have now...we'll give them at least another week of veg after topping before moving to flower 😻

June 7: i think Mimosa Shot likes it to be a bit warmer but she’s doing alright. Long daylight hours now and warm enough so she should make up for a slow-ish start.
June 9: loose scrog net is doing the job of keeping the growth tips exposed to light. Very effective. Re-arrange it a bit as needed as the plant grows. No need to even tie it off as the weight of the string is enough.
Video is a tip about keeping leaves moist in dry air. Plants are much happier when their leaves also get some moisture to make up for the low humidity.
June 12: looks good.

I don't have anything special to write, today is the end of her third week, she hasn't made any special progress, the weather is constantly bad... today was a nice day and I took them outside to sunbathe after a long time, from tomorrow everything will be as usual, for the next week only rain, the temperatures won't be as low as before, but it won't be satisfactory either, during the day it will be okay, but again with a little sun...
Stay high!

Really big stretch! Doubled in height in a little over a week. Pre flower sites all over as she is getting ready to do her thing. I may have finally duplicated a successful effort.

Last week of flowering, since couple of days we are only giving water but the last shot of ultra PK did some great work here, she swollen up and got really fat the last weeks.
wonderful strain, really generous and easy to grow, vigorous and a really nice old school smell with a sweet mango like touch!

Looks super frosty and her resin is super sticky hate when they say you can't get the best quality organically. It's the same way around. Purest aromas,finest flavors,love to grow with nature and love this genetic by original sensible seeds 🤤🔝💎🍪
