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."""💡👨🔬💡

😻 Week 6 is here!! The girls are starting to get really heavy, we may be forced to cage the rest for support, we couldn't move them much this week for fear of them collapsing..not recognizing or stopping the runaway stretch soon enough has come back to bite us..lesson learned about this strain.. the canopy is terribly uneven lol, we're just kinda letting them do their own thing at this point, we did drop 1 of 2 lights to accommodate the shortest of the group. The buds on this strain are incredibly dense, it looks like it will be some pretty good smoke ..we'll likely cut all feed by the end of this week, giving them roughly 2-3 to flush out..thanks for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests friends!!! 😽💨❤️💡🌱

😾 Well it happened, they finally buckled lol, this bud is super dense..and more popcorn than we usually get ( ill make hubby clean it lol 😸) but even that will have some weight to it. We staked 2 of 3 plants and decided to switch to ph water for the remaining 3 weeks (or so)..thanks for stopping by grow family and happy harvests!! 💡🌱❤️😽💨

We have had another very hot week. All my girls are suffering and display some ugly looking leaves. But so far the buds are doing well.
Especially Plant 2, the mainlined plant, is producing some seriously fat buds. The smell is very interesting.
Plant 1 measures 59 cm and Plant 2 is 73 cm tall.

Bueno pues ya llegamos al final familia, do sweet dos es una variedad bastante productiva. De cuatro plantas casi 180gs y la verdad que bastante contento, no tuve tiempo para poder hacer más fotos y trabajar más este post pero con la prisa y la mudanza pues bueno, bastante e cosechado.
Humedad en el secado relativamente baja al 40% y la temperatura estuvo entorno a 23 grados ambientales.
Hasta aquí todo familia, os recomiendo también la gama de productos de agrobeta, ya que los resultados son llamativos.

Tag 56, Blütetag 22. Genau eine Woche später, heute gab es einen radikalen Haarschnitt mit dem 2. Versuch Lollipopping. Jetzt heißt es abwarten und hoffen das Sie es verträgt und nicht in den Lockdown geht.

Seeing pre-flowers nice healthy new growth maybe add some h2o2 to clean up roots some, some brown algae? Maybe. Going to lower water level to 8 liters let roots stretch more an fill out bottom of bucket, also a serious defoliating is needed, But it can wait till next week. Her clone mom was harvested at day #50 in flower, not fully ripe and it's still pretty potent stuff, I think I can go to 63 days and still get an energetic high, mom still had, 30% clear trichomes with no amber at 50 days. So I will harvest 1-2 cuttings to keep them going as everyone that tried it liked the results, but this one should finish faster with Hydro, so we will see how it goes.

Running into nutrient deficiency with magnesium and just the nutrients as a whole. I guess I didn't make my soil hot enough. Added extra topdress with BuildasoilBloom.

📅 Week 9 – Day 63 / FLO 35
BOX: 80x80 – 250W lamp
🌞 Temp: 26°C
💦 RH: 55%
💥 PPFD: 800+ µmol
🌬️ VPD: 1.5 1.6
⚡ EC: 1.4
The battle continues – never again big plants in small pots 😅
It’s really hard to keep them in perfect condition, there’s almost no room for mistakes.
I’m keeping VPD high to push metabolism and speed up bud development.
Watering is split into two cycles per day, EC around 1.4–1.5.
Fans are set just right – enough to make the leaves slightly move, but not enough to stress the pistils.
Stay tuned – and keep growing 🌱

Venga familia 3 semana de floración, y no veas cómo están tricotando estás jodidas y es que son las Zkittalicious de Exotic seeds que son una pasada.
Un color más verde, una progresión rápida de las flores y muchos tricomas que se empiezan apreciar.
Muy muy contento la verdad no esperaba que fuese así de rapida iremos viendo estas semanas a ver qué tal progresan pero si siguen así esto promete.

Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar.
Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa.
Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6.
Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

These girls got lollipopped and a defoliation this week. I think having some more air flow at the pots level they'll get the dryback I'm shooting for. Now they'll also be able to focus all there energy on the top colas. All in all Happy Growing.

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower the Cal mag has made absolutely no difference too the yellow colour of this blackberry so I suspect it is just how this strain is as meany diary's on here of the same strain are also on the yellow side , but it's certainly not affecting the speed of the growth of her , i also bought a new ph stick this week ,
i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too ,
i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that ,
I accidentally bend the main stem last week while I was putting them under the netting too try and control the stretch , luckily it did not crack or snap the branch at all and she didn't droop on that branch at all and has healed already , it may or may not be related but as soon as it happened the side branches thickened up too the thickness of the main stem , this plant has over taken the rest in size even being a full week too 15 days younger , it's certainly not ideal but it really does not appear too have slowed down the growth and may well go in my favour , this lady really did stretch out from week 4 into 5 and is showing no sign of slowing down , her side branches are very thick almost as thick as the main stem , her leaf production was minimal and I have only had too remove very few too expose the bud sites , the yellowing seems too be recovering now and most of the plant is green now ,
Update ,
Now gone a lush green colour instead of that horrible yellow , and the buds have already started too purple , she has also stepped up a gear with her nutrient intake almost drinking 6 pints since Thursday ,
She seems too have slowed down on the stretch and has so meany bud site scattered all over her with as the diary name suggests black roses everywhere , and note too any seed banks reading this if there is not a purple stain out there already called black rose now is your chance lol and Iwant a sample pack first kinda like the tester :)
Now defoliation , as you can see they really didn't seem too mind at all being stripped and within a couple of days they had all replenished the lost leaves and even this week olive had to pull the odd few off as they have grown out ,
Method , well all info now is simple ,
Anything I cannot tuck under something that is blocking a bid site with shade I remove too middle or bottom ,
Everything else stays , I just stand above the plant and pull off anything covering the sites , it's really as simple as that , I see some strip them until there is nothing left on but a few sugar leaves , but for me didn't like the look of the plants , for me the growing process is just as much fun as the fruits ,

Updated the official lab result for this specific plant... thank you spliffseeds, its great to know what youre smoking...
Its amazing how a 55 cm plant can yield 120+ grams of dank dry buds, important here was the training and filling the cannopy, scrog net would help me in terms of supporting her coz as you see on pics i harvested her after 3 days of no liquid and she just fell down coz buds were to heavy... and throughout the process i had problems with holding branches in one piece lol so i had to do all the funny bondages with green wire, sadly i dont have pics coz i couldn make a clear photo of how and what did i connect together.
