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

Finally my QB 240W come and it's incredible bright. i flip it to 12/12 this week to make sure the small tent 90 x 90 x 180 not blowing up. after 4 day i witness good stretch from the tree and the temp also decrease to 30 celcius average. I'm happy with my grow so far hope to get 100 gram out of this harvest.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 03/05/19 || To/Hasta: 09/05/19 From day/Desde día: 71 || To day/Hasta día: 77 You can find the Money Maker Diary here: ** Podéis encontrar el diario de las Money Maker aquí:** https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25667-gorillamakingmoney-gorilla-vs-money-m -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- 4, 5 & 6: Same tail 10: Leaves affected by CO2 in the roots commented in previous weeks -----WEEK SUMMARY----- As you can see in the videos, the buds are creating massive amounts of crystals. As I already mentioned, due to the short time of growth I gave them and the massive defoliation, the tails are not coming together from bottom to top, however, the buds are growing and fattening very well, so much that they make you want to eat them. Besides, they are not only full of crystals, they are also extremely sticky much more than the plants that I've had so far. On the other hand the smell is already super intense this week, it's difficult to hide it on the apartment, although it's something that I don't care about. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 05/04/19 - 1,250 ml with All week nutrients -(Nirvana, B52 & Blombastic) also Big Bud half dosed @ PH6.4 & 1.7 E.C. 08/04/19 - 1,250 ml with Bud Candy, Big Bud, Nirvana, B52, Bud Factor-X, Sensizym & Blombastic @ PH6.4 & 1.7 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- 4, 5 & 6: Misma cola 10: Muestra de las hojas afectadas por exceso de co2 en las raíces que he comentado en las semanas anteriores. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Como podéis ver en los vídeos los cogollos están creando cantidades masivas de cristal, como ya comenté debido al corto tiempo de crecimiento que les di y a la defoliación masiva, las colas no se están juntando de arriba abajo, no obstante, los cogollos están creciendo y engordando muy bien, tanto que dan ganas de comérselos. Además no solo están llenísimos de cristales, también son extremadamente pegajosos mucho más que las plantas que he tenido hasta el momento. Por otro lado el olor ya es super intenso esta semana, se hace difícil ocultarlo en el piso, aunque es algo que no me importa. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 05/04/19 - 1,250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Nirvana, B52 y Blombastic), Big Bud sólo media dosis @ PH6.4 & 1.7 E.C. 08/04/19 - 1,250 ml con Bud Candy, Big Bud, Nirvana, B52, Bud Factor-X, Sensizym y Blombastic @ PH6.4 & 1.7 E.C.

Not topped, only supercropped and lst. I should have did an actual scrog, but I didn’t and will probably regret it later. Still developing pistils, haven’t started really releasing any smells. No growth issues, though will probably defoliate at some point to help with light penetration. Loving her so far!

Today is day 61 and she is maturing nicely.. trichomes are still mainly clear but this girl's had orange hairs for a while now.. interesting how some get orange hairs quick and then some hairs never turn orange.. Sensible Seeds thank you very much for the opportunity to showcase your genetics I will say this is a good one she smells very good she has a nice sweet smell to her.. Sensible Seeds has an amazing website and more different strains than you could wrap your head around.. definitely check them out I hope all is well God bless and happy growing ✌️😎 https://www.sensibleseeds.com/

I have my Electric Sky 180v2 now in instead of the cheap 40$ for 4 lights i bought on facebook. Which were growing but nothing like this thing has been doing the past week. Im still blown away by the light but back to the plants. Doimg great i took some clones. First time ever so hopefully they root. I been sprayin em 4 -6 times a day. My 3rd g6jetfuel i took out of my tent with es180v2 and put in closet by itself with the 40$ cheap leds. It hasnt grown a whole lot compared to the tent plants g61 and 2...i thought maybe it may of had a male or hermi part but honestly i dont think it did bc i cant find it now. But its still in there bc i decided to throw it on 12-12 in closet to find out sex forsure. Ive been foliar spraying in my tent 3 timez a day. And 2 times a week i get 2 little drops of fox farm grow bif in my 10oz spray bottle of water.
