Hi people and welcome to my grow diary, I have grown before a few times and have extensive knowledge in growing cannabis, I have been limited on space before and not being able to explore my potential to its fullest, I also tried hydro with not the best results you live you learn you come back better, this time around I have good space good tent size and it has all been set up to my specification, I am doing real Queen seeds Royal Highness which is a daytime smoke with high CBD which is what I'm looking for I have been smoking cannabis now for over 18 years now and love it, I like to share with other growers and other like-minded small growers and professionals out there in the cannabis cultivation industry, like others I am trying to perfect my craft and this time I will do just that, I germinated 10 feminized Royal Highness seeds with 100% success rate the genetics from royal Queen seeds are on point!, below I will explain the method I used and how I got such a good germination rate, I soak my seeds in water boiled first then cooled down to room temperature then left them in a cupboard for 24-hours, when I came back I tap the seeds they all sunk to the bottom of the glass, I then use the same water from the glass the seeds are within to wet a couple of pieces of kitchen roll and let the excess drain off, I then move the seeds to the kitchen paper giving them space between each seed I then put them into a heated propagator and left them for another 12 to 24 hours and they had all sprouted a tap root, While I was waiting for the seeds to Germinate I prepared 10 pots of natural coco mixed with perlite, I ran through just plain tap water a few times through each spot it was running clear I left them on the windowsill overnight to come up to room temperature I then planted the seeds into these pots the next day, 24-hours later and I had to carefully go digging just a small bit and I found and around eight of my colydons coming up through the coco I left these exposed to my viper spectra 600 watt LED but still in the propagator with the lid on, few more hours and they should be standing straight up and kicking. The light is just under 2 ft from the propagator, I will update as my grow progressive please pull up a chair and join me if you wish it will be a pleasure to have you along on the journey, I appreciate every single person who reads if you want to know more I will answer questions and also have a bit of banter thank you for looking please enjoy peace and blessings to UPDATE Friday 15th of November 2019............................................... Hello guys this is an update I have added an update to the comments but i will move that here soon also, so everything is together nice and neat, Today marks the end of week one from popping the seeds including germination time, All plants are growing their second set of true leaves so not long now until they make it out the seedling stage, hoorayyyyyy, Temps are perfect at 26c humidity up around the 60s in tent but I have them in the humidity dome so will be a lot higher in and around high 80s they are loving it, I have now changed out my Mars hydro 400w for my viper Spectra 600w LED and they're loving that also, I have now started to feed with plagron terra grow, Snoop Dogg radical roots and I am continuing to use calmag, as I had some of this left I'm only going to use this until these parts have been rooted once I transplant I will start to use the canna line, I will use my one question to ask you lovely guys and girls what are the best results in the dense buds you have had from nutrients in Coco, I'll put that up after this update I will take some more photos today and I will upload them and that will be the last of week 1 and I'm talking day one was when I put the seeds into the cup of water and within 7-days I'm on my second to set of leaves that it's not bad going happy with that, I don't want no mistakes on this group I want absolute perfection to maximize yields and maximize the quality and density of the bud, my skills and knowledge and the time I've spent learning and perfecting my craft is up to scratch now and I know I can do a successful crop without any problems, And we will achieve that guys positivity is the key To success i hope you are all enjoying my grow I update regularly with pictures every other day killing my data but it's ok I love you guys, peace love and blessings happy growing.

Well there's not much to say about this fine lady she started of as the absulute runt of the little and she come out queen of the litter ! Her main cola weight 50 grams ( wet ) which to me was really cool !! She had a total wet weight of 257G I will post the official dry weight as soon as the curing is done :) A big thank you to everyone who's shown there support for me ! Much love !! A special thank you goes out to all my followers you guys are kick ass man I learn lots from you just like some of you may from me ! Keep on keeping on and I wish you all the best . Overall she was fun to grow cool strain but it tends to hermie , even in the late stages . So to all those growing this strain keep a watch full eye ! -Happy Growing!

Incredible cool variety! clones take root without problems .. excellent variety for cloning .. not whimsical .. resistant to heat)) in general showed excellent growth and a great harvest with an excellent effect!

Solid start for this week also, nothing to complain about the growth. I'm doing just some LST to increase branches strenght to support bigger buds. Day 38, tied down some branches to create an even canopy and strenghten stems

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

After strength training and taking a cutting off the tall one to the left, all plants are at 90cm. I also removed the two lowest branches for cuttings. The two on the right have much less of a Sativa shaped leaf and also grew very quickly even in the rain and thunderstorms! All seem to have recovered from strength training and growing vigorously!

Will post pics very soon Transplanted into pots today , and will add my PH and PPM information closer to the first pump! Pics are up ! Day one of Veg Starts now! :) Light timer worked a perfect 18/6 Had Pump timer set on 30 mins on the first * Corrected to 15min, 3x per light cycle, leaving 7am to 1pm open. NOV 4 , Had issues with humidity , Added humidifier and turned off my Filter/Inline fan, Temp sitting around 80degree , and 50% humidity , with Tent vents open and Door partially unzipped.

The tricombe production on this strain is ridiculous! It looks amazing under my microscope. The heads are mostly milky coloured so this may be finishing sooner than expected. The space in the tent is getting a bit tight so I'll be glad to have more room when this lady has done her thing.

Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!

Hey there, first time growing anything. Let's see how this works out ! So I started to germinate the seedlings 1 week prior to Video. I Haven't fed them any nutrients yet and the LED light was running only 250w. Right now everything looks healthy and is growing by the day. It even seems that one of my SBP Seedling has formed some sort of Tri-Leaf mutation. As mentioned, this is my first grow so if you feel like i'm doing anything backwards PLEASE Let me know ! Peace yo !

Smells very fruity and Sweet. Very dense trichomes. Very dark and frosty buds

Was facing some difficulty when it came to lighting (what brand, wattage, output range, full spectrum etc.) Did a watering today with a mix of Epsom salt & purified water which was the 1st nutrient mixture since my ladies been in the soil. A couple of changes made since I've joined GD is I changed the distance of lights to plant (was @ 14-18 now 20-24 inches away thanks for that folks) lighting schedule is still on a 18/6hr. Another trick I choose was the water used...it's either rain water or artesian water both help eliminate unwanted pH unbalance. This is my 1st grow and Im going to post more photos of the entire setup. If you guys&gala have any other helpful tips for a better grow lmk. I also wanted to do a LST on my autos but not quite sure when to do, they're currently coming out of week 2 into week 3 vegg mode. Every tip and hint helps so let em fly.

Starting week 10 Day 77 Ladie is getting some nutes plus water Day 78 Whoa she's growing a lot Day 79 Gonna start scrog soon Day 80 Root its thriving like crazy, uploaded new video, check it out! Day 81 Time to feed the lady again plus added more ffof soil with perlite and clay peebles Day 82 All good, no nutrient burnt @ 1810ppm Day 83 Had to expand the net, added scrog plus some other features, she's a monster it's Giving me a lot of work to do but I'm really happy with this huge lady growing up!! End of week 10 with some videos to show progress!

Vamos familia, hora de cosechar estas gorilla de RoyalQueenSeeds. No veáis que pinta que tienen las flores están bien formadas y repletas de tricomas. Estoy deseando probarlas. El problema han sido las temperaturas las últimas semanas que excedieron los 30 grados. Aun así salió todo para alante Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

No es una genética que crece mucho en altura. Quizá por el lst continuo que tuvo, pero tenía una estructura ideal

High. 🐸 Plants are growing fine. First pistils appeared on FD 15. That's all to report for this week, nothing to complain about, everything looks good so far. 💚 Stay green. 👨‍🌾🏻
