Cherry Limeade von Doja – Wochenupdate 🌱 Bei der Cherry Limeade geht es langsam in die Endphase der Blüte. Die ersten Blätter beginnen bereits, herbstliche Farben zu entwickeln 🍂, während die Buds weiterhin ordentlich Harz produzieren und sehr klebrig sind 🌸. Insgesamt bin ich mit der Entwicklung der Blüten weiterhin zufrieden, allerdings gibt es aktuell einen Punkt, der mich etwas nervt: Die Buds bilden zunehmend Foxtails aus. Ich vermute, dass die dafür verantwortlichen hohen Temperaturen zumindest teilweise eine Rolle spielen 🌡️. Besonders der Hydrone 5 von AC Infinity entwickelt im Betrieb deutlich Wärme. Der VPD wird zwar durch den KI-Controller und den Hydrone 5 insgesamt sehr gut geregelt, aber genau hier liegt meiner Meinung nach eine Schwäche des Systems. Bei der Produkteinführung wurde aus meiner Sicht nicht ausreichend kommuniziert, wie viel zusätzliche Wärme der Entfeuchter unter bestimmten Bedingungen in das Zelt einträgt. AC Infinity hat die Produktbeschreibung mittlerweile entsprechend angepasst, als ich das Gerät gekauft habe, war das allerdings noch nicht so kommuniziert. Das ärgert mich ehrlich gesagt etwas. Wenn die Außenluft eine hohe relative Luftfeuchtigkeit mitbringt, muss der Hydrone 5 entsprechend viel arbeiten. Trotz der Regelung über den Ablüfter können dann im Zelt durchaus Temperaturen von etwa 29 °C entstehen, weil die vom Entfeuchter erzeugte Wärme die Kühlung über die Abluft teilweise wieder zunichtemacht. Als alleinige Entfeuchtungslösung sehe ich den Hydrone 5 deshalb inzwischen eher als Winterlösung. Wenn die Außentemperaturen niedrig sind, sind hohe Temperaturen und hohe RLF normalerweise ohnehin weniger problematisch. Schimmel muss ich mir unter den aktuellen Bedingungen zwar keine großen Sorgen machen, aber Foxtailing in der Endblüte möchte ich natürlich trotzdem möglichst vermeiden 😅. Deshalb werde ich die Lichtintensität in den nächsten Tagen von 900 auf etwa 800 PPFD reduzieren und beobachten, wie sich die Buds entwickeln 💡. Vielleicht lässt sich damit etwas Druck aus dem System nehmen. Beim Aroma bin ich inzwischen ebenfalls etwas enttäuscht. Ein echtes Kirscharoma hat sich leider weiterhin nicht entwickelt 🍒. Die Buds sind zwar extrem klebrig, aber verglichen mit meiner Mentha de Croco haut mich das Aroma bisher nicht wirklich um. Aktuell wirkt das Terpenprofil insgesamt etwas schwach. Ob das tatsächlich genetisch bedingt ist oder die hohen Temperaturen einen Teil des Aromas beeinträchtigen, möchte ich noch nicht abschließend beurteilen. Ich warte deshalb definitiv bis zum Ende der Blüte und nach der Trocknung und Reifung mit meinem endgültigen Fazit 🧐. Vielleicht passiert in den letzten Wochen noch einiges – gerade beim Aroma kann sich bis zum Schluss noch etwas verändern. 📊 Aktuelle Parameter: 💡 Licht: 900 PPFD / DLI 39 → künftig ca. 800 PPFD 🌡️ Temperatur: 25 °C zeitweise bis ca. 29 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 54% durch Hydrone 5 geregelt 📈 VPD: 1,4 kPa durch KI-Controller/Hydrone 5 stabil geregelt 🌿 CO₂: Ø 700 ppm 💦 Wasserverbrauch: ca. 1,92 l/Tag Cherry Limeade – Weekly Update 🌱 The Cherry Limeade is slowly entering the final stage of flowering. The first leaves are already starting to show some autumn-like colors 🍂, while the buds continue to produce plenty of resin and are extremely sticky 🌸. Overall, I’m still happy with the development of the flowers, but there is one thing that is starting to annoy me a little: the buds are increasingly developing foxtails. I suspect that the high temperatures are at least partly responsible for this 🌡️. The Hydrone 5 from AC Infinity generates a noticeable amount of heat while running. The VPD itself is actually being controlled very well by the AI controller and the Hydrone 5, but this is also where I see a weakness in the system. When the product was originally launched, I don’t think AC Infinity communicated clearly enough how much additional heat the dehumidifier can add to the tent under certain conditions. AC Infinity has since updated the product description accordingly, but this was not communicated that way when I purchased the unit. Honestly, that does annoy me a little. When the outdoor air has a high relative humidity, the Hydrone 5 has to work harder. Even with the exhaust fan being controlled accordingly, I can still see temperatures of around 29 °C inside the tent because the heat generated by the dehumidifier partly offsets the cooling effect of the exhaust 🌡️. For this reason, I now see the Hydrone 5 as more of a winter solution when used as the sole dehumidification method. During winter, lower ambient temperatures make the additional heat much less of an issue. I’m not particularly worried about mold under the current conditions, but foxtailing during late flower is obviously not something I want to encourage 😅. So over the next few days I’ll reduce the light intensity from 900 to around 800 PPFD and see how the buds respond 💡. Hopefully this will take some stress out of the system. I’m also a little disappointed with the aroma at this point. Unfortunately, no real cherry aroma has developed so far 🍒. The buds are extremely sticky, but compared with my Mentha de Croco, the aroma isn’t really blowing me away. Overall, the terpene profile currently seems a little weak. Whether this is mainly genetic or whether the high temperatures are suppressing some of the aroma is something I don’t want to judge conclusively yet. I’ll definitely wait until the end of flowering, and preferably until after drying and curing, before making my final assessment 🧐. There is still some time left, and especially with the aroma, things can still change during the final weeks. 📊 Current parameters: 💡 Light: 900 PPFD / DLI 39 → reducing to approx. 800 PPFD 🌡️ Temperature: 25 °C occasionally up to approx. 29 °C 💧 Humidity: 54% controlled by Hydrone 5 📈 VPD: 1,4 kPa well controlled by the AI controller/Hydrone 5 🌿 CO₂: Avg. 700 ppm 💦 Water consumption: approx. 1.92 L/day

9.Vegetationswoche, nun 50 cm hoch und 85 cm breit. Bis 15.3.hoffe ich auf 60 cm Höhe und dann wird auf 12/12 umgestellt. Musste nun schon das 5.Mal entlauben, das wächst wie Unkraut. Seit 3 Tagen benutze ich den WaterTrim, Osmose Wasser.

******** Week 8 - Jan 27 to Feb 2/20 (Days 50 - 56 from seed popping out) She has continued to swell this week and stacking her buds. The hairs have remained a nice bright white all week pointing up. Noticing some curling a bit of the hairs towards end of the week. They are white but there is a small red hair here and there now. Giving her a couple more days of feed no idea about flush. She has been slow going all along in her growth........at this stage I want that to continue......drag out her swelling/bud growing stage😋😋 On the down side.....I did see very small red hairs here and there.....unfortunately. Heavier leaf strip on Wednesday and have continued through out as rotating her in the tent under the light. Took off probably 25%. Took off a few more of those fan leaves down low that I when removing bud sites. She is long and lanky so don’t feel side lighting is much of an issue. She is dark in my opinion and hope she will continue to feed and work through all that nitrogen. I didn’t realize how many purple streaks she has on some stocks. She was also given a feeding this week with Epsom Salts. A lot of red on one of the the other plants so worked Magnesium Sulphate in that way. I think I could have gone harder on the CalMag earlier and/or introduced epsom salt earlier as well. Changed the light schedule this week. Moved her to 19 hours of light because she is not falling to sleep at lights out. I know that I could have the lights closer but given how Skywalker has grown I can’t lower them as much as I would like. Will try compensating with longer daylight period.😉 Worth a try! Have seen other Mephisto comments where they say run 24hrs......not my style though. Will keep up Liquid Weight and Rezin to the end and see how she is as a result. Not used these supplements before. Not sure if I will use AN Flawless Finish this run or not? Little more detail: Jan 27/20 - Day 50 - Feed: 2L - Sensyzime @ 2ml, Liquid Weight @ 1.5ml = 45ppm 6.0pH - plain water. She is showing brown spots on leaves. High Potassium?? Lots with supplimentals. Jan 28/20 - Day 51 - 2L: Rezin @ 2ml, CalMag & LW8 @ 1.5ml = 360ppm. Left a lower pH this feed. - Used heavier CalMag today as purple stems is increasing.....looking at using Epsom Salts. - striped some leaves today...heavier than normal.......think it was 5 😄 Jan 29/20 - Day 52 - full feed today as listed above. - 5L - 1125ppm with 6.2pH....low pH trying to raise it by lots of run off with 5L. - runoff: 950ppm with 5.6pH - There is a lot of branch on this girl.....continued the leaf strip though and took more today. - Evening - 2L plain water 6.4pH............figured if I am going to over water her I may as well try and raise the pH more. *******this should have been about 12 litres of water given the way I was going about it.......or let the pot dry out completely first. Jan 30/20 - Day 53 - 2L feed: Epsom Salt @ 1tsp/G, Rezin & LW8 @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel A and B @ 1ml = 1000ppm 6.15pH - used Epsom Salt today. - They were very happy today in the morning. Swelling up. - They are not falling to sleep at night so moving to 19 hours light. First day. Jan 31/20 - Day 54 - Feed: 2L - Sensyzime @ 2ml/L - 30ppm 6.15pH - plain water feed today. Sensyzime to clean up the roots. - She keeps chugging along with growth and packing on some growth now. Looking awesome actually!! - She reacted well to Epsom Salts......or didn’t negatively react - Colas forming larger and longer. Feb 1/20 - Day 55 - dry out day. Nothing at all today. Pots felt heavy all day - She is very happy in evening. All leaves up on almost all buds....very nice! Filling in cola too! FROST on fan leafs......may have to press her fan leaves:) Feb 2/20 - Day 56 - pot nice and dry today. She was happy this morning and given a large feed. - 4L of full strength for the week. - run off 1080ppm and 5.85pH......Hmmmm, I like it:) - Pots were really light in AM. - See very little red hairs. Still mainly nice straight shinny white.....keep going girl.....no rush! Looking forward to bringing this girl to the end and watching her swell......fingers crossed😁 Hope your garden is making your smile fellow growers....cheers!

Indoors flowering nicely, brown hairs starting to show. Outdoors still one of the Ultimate still hasn't started to flower. I'm starting to wonder if it's not an auto at all. The gelato is forming nicely, with a little visitor a bee. The other ultimate is also flowering nicely. Day 75, due to hothouse damage the three outdoor plants are now indoors

?????

Definitely try again this strain amazing 🤩💨💨💚

Gave more Sucranat frying leaves and light burn. Finishing up Forbidden Runtz soon as she is chucky. Hoping she'll put on more weight, if not oh well. Sour Stomper is catching up and feeding more now. She's starting to fill out a bit. She's still 6 days behind her sis but doing alright.

Was a little bit challenging for me, due to the outdated nutrients table, mostly on the Flowering period, also little thing like i have to fill more the pots, also with this kind a strain and also with cuts instead of seeds, may be is better to don't do the topping and don't loose time and energy on the vegetative period. At the same time, more or less about the 8th week of flowering it starts to appear something like Alternalia or Overfeed of Phosphor still don't sure. All this issues have impact the grow in terms of the size of the branches and the whole plant, the size of the buds and the hardness. In strictly terms about the strain, the quality is out of mind, amount of resin is crazy, just have to improve my skills and get bigger crops

Last few waterings now mostly cloudy trichs

Beautiful flower full of trichomes. Smell and test fantastic. Very fast flowering. She was done on day 49 but I cut her down few days later. I love the strain, the only thing that I will like this strain to have is a better yield. Beast quality buds I ever grew.

End week 7 starting week 8 flower .. yoooo The smelll!!!!! Ommmggg strait petrolium cherries dipped in honey.. shit man I cant wait to smoke this stuff.. thabk u 420 fast buds for thos genetic.. I also got cloans .. they grew out funy cause i took them in week 3 of flower .. but I'm going to grow them out and öets see.. keep following for more updates!!!! Only_dankzz4200 on Instagram

D40 (31/12/2020): Second week of flower and everything is good! They are still stretching a lot. I'm not continuing LST with ties but just by tucking and banding stems and leaves. I will continue to slowly remove leaves and small bud site under canopy that will never receive enough light. The higher buds receive around 520 and 600 PPFD (40 000 to 46 000 lux) for a DLI (for 20 hours of continuous light) around 37,44 and 43,2 moles of photons which is perfect. This Glue Gelato phenotype is weird as it grows weird leaf structure since a couple of weeks. Probably since I discovers a nutrient lock in the soil with too much nutrients. Banana Kush is super healthy and look amazing! 😎 - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 56% D41 (01/01/2021): They are stretching like crazy so it's a sign of good health! I fed with nutrients 3/4 of the recommended dose for transition week. I gave more then a gallon approx. 4L per plant. I did remove leaves today but no bending. I want to let them grow in height. - temp: 25 C - water: PH6.3, 820 PPM approx. 4L each plant - run off: PH6.7, 1150PPM for BK ; PH6.8, 1120 PPM for GG - RH: 54% D42 (02/01/2021): Nothing special today. I try to turn the plant 180 degree each day to make sure fan is blowing air on every side of the pot and plant and to make sure light is distributed evenly. I also swap the two plants every 2-3 days to make sure again that the plants receive light equally. I continue removing leaves and small buds site under canopy. - temp: 25 C - no water - RH: 54% D43 (03/01/2021): The lights are now at 16 inch from the top buds and just 12h later I saw a big difference. They are now ready to receive intense light 😎. They receive approx. 650 to 780 PPFD and even 900 PPFD for the top buds (50 000 to 60 000 lux, and even 70 000 lux). I will check closely in the next days to make sure the buds and leaves are not burning. I fed only Max Minerals full recommended dose for transition week. I gave more then a gallon approx. 4L per plant. I placed a round stake in each pot for when the buds will be heavy. - temp: 25 C - water: PH6.3, 460 PPM approx. 4L each plant - run off: PH6.8, 1550PPM for BK ; PH6.9, 1480 PPM for GG - RH: 55% D44 (04/01/2021): Nothing new today. *** UPDATE ON BUGS: I did not see any more larvae since last week. It's the 3rd week since adding nematodes and after adding 2 pouch per plant, doing 2 insecticidal soap treatment and removing 1 inch of soil, I feel like I did control the infestation. I still see some mature fungus gnats on sticky traps but nothing alarming. Increasing air flow and reducing RH also helped a lot for those bugs. - temp: 25 C - no water - RH: 55% D45 (05/01/2021): Nothing special today. I let them grow without new LST. I did not removed leaves since a couple of days. They are growing in height and that's what I want. I might do a defoliation in beginning of week 7 (or week 3 of flowering). I want to reduce RH in the tent under 50%. When the lamps are off, I have a lot of difficulties to maintain a proper RH for flowering stage. During night, it is around 57% with the 4 inch AC Infinity inline fan blowing full speed. RH in the room where the tent is is around 35%-40%. With 5 plants in the tent (2 cannabis, 2 tomatoes and 1 mint) it will be more difficult to control RH in the next week with flower and fruit growing bigger. I ordered a small dehumidifier on Amazon to help me reduce the RH. - temp: 25 C - no water - RH: 53% D46 (06/01/2021): I fed today half of the recommended dose for transition week. The PPM of the run off from last fed was high so I want to cut a bit on nutrients. The run off of both plant is down under 900PPM which is what I wanted 👍 -temp: 25 C - water: PH6.3, 480 PPM, approx. 3.5L each plant - run off: PH6.9, 860PPM for BK ; PH6.9, 766PPM for GG -RH: 52%

harvest time soon. Maybe making hash or some cookies out of her. Smell is very intensive right now. Unfortunately I repotted her way too late she didn‘t got dense buds. take a look at my other diaries for good plants haha :)

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 4/1 7 AM I did a video starting with black tan GT Julian’s trailer Park boys seed next is Ricky’s hash plant and then it goes over to ice – T and the multicolored one at the front is the combination bubbles blueberry and gelato 44 that I made I called a blueberry knockout 4/1 12pm We're gonna need a bigger TENT!!!💐🌼Humboldt Seed company email today...Im doing this!!! https://californiahempseeds.com/garden-seeds/ 4/5 12:57AM Today 500 years ago Jesus escaped from his stone coffin and began feasting on the blood of local rabbits, and thats the story of Easter. Makes total sense, he's the ONE J in all of history that thinks he's a god....sure Jan. Who's up for a fun game of Christians vs. Lions down at the old Colosseum today??

Harvested on day 70 (a bit early I know). 19.8 grams of dry buds. Small harvest but potent and very loud. I grew both this and the critical dwarf and both were super low yielding, although if I harvested a week or so later I would probably have gotten a 25% increase in yield weight. Regardless, I'm happy as I smoked one bowl after an 8 day dry and it got me pretty good.

We had a week with lots of rain 🌧️; but also lots of sun 🌞 In the greenhouse the conditions were perfect 😍 So the plants have grown considerably 😗 Once a week I give the plants a liquid booster with OPF 7:2:3 ; Fulvic 25 ; Yuccah ; Biovin liquid ; Earthworm manure extract. Big Thanks to Luc from Plant Health Solutions / Bioplantenvoeding dot nl 🙏🙏🙏

Bloom 17

Week 8: Day 50-53: Things are looking ok here, could be better. Still assuming my soil is too acidic certain nutrients to lock out. I now believe what I thought was a calmg deficiency on 4AM#1 was actually a phosphorous lockout in combination with the aforementioned calmg. Day 50 I watered with PH 6.5 and got runoff around 5.5 PH. 4AM#3 was visibly worse off, and no real improvements to the other 2 either(both had signs of calmg deficiency in combination with various other small deficiencies it seemed like). Day 54-56: Seeing no real improvements in any of the 3 plants I decided I would flush them on with 6.5 PH'd water only with regulator until runoff read atleast 6PH. After about 4-5L the runoff was 6+PH, seemed to me like there was a slight build up in the bottom so the first 3L cleared that up quite nicely(runoff was around 5.7). I then fed them 2-2.5L feeding of calmg and regulator with some Biocanna Boost PD'd to 6.5 immediately after flushing. Runoff was pretty much 6.3-6.5 on all plants at this point. I think I am happy with the results of the small flush, this IS my first time indoors(last summer first time was outdoor and I never really dealt with deficiences), so not sure if what I did was correct, I just went with my gut feeling here. Anyway on day 56 now and they haven't gotten any worse, and the leaves feel healthier to the touch. Also seem to be liking the addition of the 150W COB, also decided to lower the lights and see if they could take it(they could). End of Week 8: I don't think I will get more much bulk on 4AM#1 but daaamn is she frosty as hell. 4AM#2 on the other hand is bulking up real nice, those are going to be some fat buds! And 4AM#3 seems to be a slower finishing pheno and seems like she will bulk up loads more, going to be a beast I reckon if the deficiencies didn't stunt her from the last 2 weeks(leaves felt dry and showed yellowing and spots, but are doing better and feel better after the flush).
