Hello Diary.
Here I am with two new diaries, Purple Queen Automatic and Do-Si-Dos Automatic, both strains from an experienced team from Royal Queen Seeds.
But this diary is dedicated to Purple Queen. There are a total of three plants on the "Farm", two are Do-Si-Dos and one is Purple Queen.
LET'S START FIRST WITH THE FARM SET-UP:
Box - Secret Jardin DS120W 120x60x178
Lights - MIGRO 200+
Ventilation - Blauberg Turbo - E 100
Filter - Primaklima filter PK 100/125
Fan - Oscillating Koala Fan
Humidifier - Beurer LB 45
Soil - BioBizz Light - Mix
Pot - 11L Air pots
Seed - Royal Queen Seed
Nutrition - RQS Organic nutrition and BioBizz
A FEW WORDS ABOUT PURPLE QUEEN AUTOMATIC:
Purple Queen Automatic is more than just a pretty face. The soothing strain reaches deep into both the psyche and bodily tissues to relieve tension and stress.
We all experience stress, whether from work or family life. The solution is often a few deep breaths and a nice warm bath.
A joint or bowl of Purple Queen Automatic will help you take your relaxation regime one step further. The high releases muscular tension while slowing down erratic thoughts and decreasing anxiety.
You’ll also feel a wave of euphoria begin to set in with each successive hit.
Her purple flowers emit aromas of skunk, fruit, and citrus. Every hit delivers contrasting flavors of sweetness, bitterness, and spice.
This was a description of the pages from the team from RQS, I hope my Purple Queen will meet all expectations.
LET THE DIARY START OFFICIALLY:
25/08/2021
Planting. Before each new planting, I first clean the entire grow box and prepare everything I need. This time I opted for air pots, although I was also very satisfied with the fabric pots.
For the substrate I used Light-Mix from BioBizz. After filling more than half of the pot, I added toppings: Easy Boost Organic Nutrition - 50 gr., Bat Guano - 80 gr., Easy Roots Rhizobacter - 10 gr. and Easy Roots - Mycorrhiza Mix - 5 gr.
I mixed the soil well with the added nutrients and filled the pot to the top. I soaked the soil well with water and put the seeds in a 5 cm deep hole.
Since I always plant in three pots, I planted two Do-Si-Dos first and planted the last one Purple Queen after which I put them in the Grow Box. Conditions on the "Farm" are not ideal, the humidity is much lower than 65% which would be ideal.
But I’ll see if anything changes before I insert the humidifier. The lights are 35 cm away from the pots as recommended by Migro.
27/08/2021
The surface of the substrate dried out so I sprayed a little water to moisten the soil.
28/08/2021
Purple Queen has sprouted, her roommates Do-Si-Dos # 1 have also sprouted while Do-Si-Dos # 2 is slowly emerging from the ground.
30/08/2021
Watering. I regulated p.H. at 6.5 and watered each plant with approximately 0.5 liters of water.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26.8 degrees and 40% humidity.
02/09/2021
Watering. I lowered the p.H to 6.3 and watered each plant with approximately 0.5 liters of water. The plants are still small so I’m probably starting to count the 1st day from tomorrow.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 24.7 degrees and 46% humidity.
That’s it for now, I’m glad all three plants that sprouted on the Farm at the same time, so they’ll grow in parallel without falling behind. I wish them all the best.
See you soon.
Hello Diary.
The first week of vegetation is behind me, Purple Queen is developing nicely, it has grown 11 cm and the leaves are a healthy green color, in any case nothing unexpected.
In addition to the Purple Queen, there are two Do-Si-Dos plants on the "Farm" that also grow evenly alongside it.
The Purple Queen stretched a lot in the first few days after it sprouted, so I added more soil to the pot to bury it a bit.
Of the nutrients, I added only 2.5 ml / lit Root-Juice from BioBizz at the end of the first week of vegetation. I regulated p.H with Plagron’s Lemon Kick, always between 6.2 and 6.5.
As for the conditions on the Farm, the humidity is still low but I did not insert a humidifier this time. Watering is not so frequent, only twice in the last 7 days when each plant received about 2 liters of water.
Let's see what the week looked like.
03/09/2021 - Day 1.
Officially the first day of vegetation.
As I wrote earlier, I buried it a bit with the ground because the stem is very elongated, although one fan blows inside to strengthen the stability of the stem, in this case I had to bury it a bit.
I measured the height after backfilling to have some starting point.
Purple Queen Auto - Day 1. - 6 cm
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26.5 degrees and 45% humidity.
06/09/2021 - Day 4.
Watering. I adjusted the p.H to 6.5 and watered the three plants evenly with a total of 5 liters of water.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 27 degrees and 38% humidity.
09/09/2021 - Day 7.
Watering and photography. This time I added Root-Juice from BioBizz, 2.5 ml / l and I lowered the p.H to 6.3
I also measured my height and the Purple Queen grew 5cm in 7 days.
Purple Queen Auto - Day 7. - 11 cm
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 28 degrees and 38% humidity.
That's all for the first week, for now everything is going well and I hope it stays that way. See you soon.
Hello Diary.
The second week of vegetation is over, at this stage there is not much action other than watching the plants grow.
Purple Queen grows the fastest of all three plants on the "Farm". Next to it are two more Do-Si-Dos plants.
It has grown 26 cm which is more than double in the last seven days, the leaves are a healthy green color and generally the plant looks healthy and satisfied.
Watering is not so frequent, only twice this week when on the last day of the second week of vegetation I added a total of 10 ml of Fish Mix from BioBizz to a total of 7 liters of water.
Humidity is still just above 40% which is far from the ideal 60% for this growth phase.
Let’s take a look at what the past week has looked like.
12/09/2021 - Day 10.
Watering. p.H. with lowered to 6.3 and with 6 liters of water I evenly watered all three plants on the "Farm".
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 28.3 degrees and 38% humidity.
16/09/2021 - Day 14.
Watering, photographing and measuring height. p.H. I lowered it to 6.3 and in 7 liters of water I added 10 ml of Fish Mix from BioBizz.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 28 degrees and 47% humidity.
Purple Queen Auto - Day 14. - 26 cm
That’s all for this week, see you soon and thank you all for your support.
Hello Diary.
The third week of vegetation is over, Purple Queen is slowly entering the flowering phase.
As can be seen in the photos, the Purple Queen is very elongated, the distance between the branches is quite large.
Although the plant has a very nice look, it’s like I did a little LST. Next week I will probably do a defoliation, I will remove the leaves and branches at the bottom of the stem.
The plant enters the flowering phase after three weeks of vegetation which is always the case so far with Autoflower plants.
The leaves are a healthy green color and for now it does not show that it is missing anything.
Watering is still not too frequent, every three to four days I water the plants with a total of 7 liters of water which I divide evenly into all three plants that are on the "Farm".
Anyone who keeps a diary knows that in addition to the Purple Queen, there are two other Do Si Dos plants on the Farm.
Given the amount of nutrients I put in the ground when planting, this time I’m not overdoing it with adding other nutrients.
This week I once added an Easy Grow Booster tablet and once I added CalMg preventively. p.H I always regulate to a value between 6.2 and 6.5.
Conditions on the Farm are relatively ok, the temperature varies around 27 degrees while the humidity is around 45%.
There are now much more interesting days to observe, especially for photography.
Here’s what it looked like last week.
19/09/2021 - Day 17.
Watering. I lowered p.H. water at 6.2 and in 7 liters of water I put one Easy Grow Booster tablet. With that amount, I watered all three plants evenly.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 27 degrees and 50% humidity.
22/09/2021 - Day 20.
Watering. p.H. I adjusted to 6.4 and added 1.5 ml / lit CalMg preventively.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26.5 degrees and 38% humidity.
23/09/2021 - Day 21.
End of the third week of vegetation, photography and height measurement.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 49% humidity.
Purple Queen Auto - Day 21. - 63 cm.
That’s it for this week, honestly, I hope it doesn’t grow too much anymore even though it’s not to be expected :(. See you soon.
Hello Diary.
The first week of flowering on my little Farm is over.
This week I also did a defoliation, I cleaned the leaves and branches from the bottom of the stalk so it’s easier to water now, and I also improved the airflow.
The Purple Queen grew almost 90 cm so the light didn’t really get too far to the lower branches. Next to it are two Do-Si-Dos plants, each on one side.
The plant has a beautiful shape, like a Christmas tree, although the branches are quite rare, I am pleased with the amount of flowers. Especially the main cola, which is already full of aromatic flowers.
The leaves are a healthy green color and overall everything is great.
Watering is every third day, and from this week I started adding BioBizz scheduled for the flowering phase. I don’t add it with every watering, I’m much more careful with dosing.
Conditions in the Box are good, the temperature is about 26 degrees while the humidity is about 45%.
With the appearance of flowers, the smell intensified and became more and more intense.
Here's what the week looked like.
24/09/2021 - Day 22.
Watering. I prepared 7 liters of water, lowered p.H to 6.3 and then added 2ml / l - Bio Grow and 1ml / l - Alg-A-Mic.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.6 degrees and 47% humidity.
27/09/2021 - Day 25.
Watering. This time I just regulated the p.H to 6.2 and with 7 liters of water I evenly watered all three plants on the Farm.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26.4 degrees and 52% humidity.
30/09/2021 - Day 28.
On the last day of the 4th week I did a defoliation. I removed the leaves and branches from the bottom of the stem after which I photographed the plants and watered them. p.H I lowered to 6.2 and added BioBizz as scheduled for the first week of flowering. 2ml / l - Bio Grow and 1ml / l - Bio Bloom, Top Max and Alg-A-Mic.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 27.7 degrees and 42% humidity.
Purple Queen Auto - Day 28. - 87cm
That’s all for this week, thank you all for your support and see you soon.
Hello Diary.
The second week of flowering is over and Purple Queen already looks like an adult girl.
It’s been a week since defoliation and it seems to have suited all the residents on the Farm. I also changed the light mode to 18/6 this week.
The plant grew almost one meter, with a very pronounced main cola, while the surrounding branches did not reach even close to that height.
In vegetation, the plant is elongated so that the distance between the branches is longer.
The flowers fill up nicely and have started to be covered in trichomes that give it that snowy look.
The leaves are a beautiful healthy dark green color, but the two largest leaves have begun to take on a more yellowish color.
As for watering additives this week, I added BioBizz additives to one watering. 1ml/lit I added Bio Grow, Bio Bloom, Alg-A-Mic and Top Max.
p.H I regulate to values around 6.3 and Plagron's Lemon Kick helps me with that.
Conditions on the Farm are satisfactory, the temperature is around 26 degrees while the humidity is slightly lower than 50%.
Here’s what it looked like last week.
03/10/2021 - Day 31.
Watering. I adjusted the p.H to 6.5 and with a total of 7 lit I evenly watered all three plants on the “Farm”.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26 degrees and 46% humidity.
06/10/2021 - Day. 34.
Watering. This time I added BioBizz: Bio Grow, Bio Bloom, Alg-A-Mic and Top Max, only 1 ml/lit each.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 45% humidity.
07/10/2021 - Day 35.
Photographing for the end of the second week of flowering.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 24.9 degrees and 47% humidity.
Purple Queen Auto - Day 35. - 96 cm
That’s all for this week, thank you all for your support and see you soon.
Hello Diary.
The third week of flowering, the sixth in total since the beginning of the vegetation is behind me.
Purple Queen looks beautiful, the main cola and branches gain in weight and bend a lot when moving so I’ll have to tie it up soon.
The flowers fill nicely and take on a more intense smell.
Thank goodness she stopped growing in height, a few more inches and the height of my box would not be enough.
I hope they will now focus all their energy on developing larger flowers. But it’s really beautiful, especially the main cola which is one of the bigger ones I’ve grown on a “farm” so far.
A couple of large leaves turned yellow and basically fell apart so I removed them after taking the photo. We’ll see what happens next but I don’t think it’s anything problematic.
Prompted by those yellow leaves, this week I added a Cal Mg supplement, and one tablet of easy bloom booster, to get a few supplements.
Although it was more intended for her roommates Do Si Dos.
Conditions on the "Farm" are good, the temperature is around 25 degrees while the humidity is a little lower than 40%.
This is what it looked like last week.
09/10/2021 - Day 37.
Watering. As always I prepare 7 liters of water into which with Plagron’s Lemon Kick I regulate p.H in this case to 6.0. I also added a CalMg supplement this time, 1ml / lit.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.5 degrees and 40% humidity.
12/10/2021 - Day 40.
Watering. The procedure is the same as three days ago, only this time I did not add CalMg, but I inserted one easy bloom booster tablet.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.8 degrees and 38% humidity.
14/10/2021 - Day 42.
Photography and observation.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 38% humidity.
Do Si Dos Auto # 1 - Day 42. - 93 cm
Do Si Dos Auto # 2 - Day 42. - 81 cm
That’s all for this week, see you soon. Thank you all for your support.
Hello Diary.
The seventh week is over, the fourth week of flowering and the first signs of ripening are visible on Purple Queen.
Although it is still too early to talk considering that I have not yet checked the appearance of trichomes with a microscope,
but also looks more advanced than her roommates Do Si Dos.
The leaves slowly began to fade, some even turned yellow but I cleaned them after taking the photo.
The scent is getting more intense, you can feel the sweetness of the fruity scent that definitely dominates the Farm.
As you can see in the photos, I had to connect the branches to the stem because under the weight of the flowers they started to bend and I am afraid it will not crack when taken out for the purpose of photography.
Conditions on the "Farm" are excellent, the temperature is about 26 degrees while the humidity is about 40%.
I could say that for now Purple Queen is one of the more fragrant residents who have stayed at the Farm.
The flowers are large and full, full of trichomes. I can't wait to taste it.
Here’s what it looked like last week.
15/10 // 2021 - Day 43.
Watering. As every time I prepare 7 liters of water in a bucket, I adjust the p.H to a value between 6.0 and 6.5, in this case 6.2 and then add nutrients and supplements as needed. Since it is still too early for me to predict how many more will bloom, I decided to add food to them one last time and then water it only with water. I added BioBizz on schedule for the 4th week of flowering. I also added 1ml / lit CalMg for better food absorption.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.6 degrees and 39% humidity.
18/10/2021 - Day 46.
Watering. p.H I regulated to 6.3 and with 7 liters of water I evenly watered all three plants on the "Farm".
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 23.3 degrees and 40% humidity.
21/10/2021 - Day 49.
Photographing and watering. After the photo shoot, I watered the plants as I did three days ago. p.H I regulated at 6.3
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26 degrees and 43% humidity.
That’s all for this week, starting next week I will start photographing the plants on a black background as they will look the most beautiful visually. I'm really looking forward to it. See you soon
Hello Diary.
The eighth week is over, Purple Queen looks wonderful. I could say one of the most beautiful plants so far on my little Farm.
The flowers are hard and heavy, full of trichomes, the branches bend under the weight of the flowers. The scent is very intense with a fruity note.
A few leaves began to turn yellow which I would say are signs of maturation.
I don't know what else to write, the pictures speak for themselves, I would photograph the plant literally all day, so I apologize for the large number of photos.
Watering is standard, every three days, but from the end of the seventh week I water only with clean water with regulated p.H between 6.0 and 6.5.
Conditions at the Farm are similar to last week, great for the very end of flowering.
Here’s what the eighth week looked like.
24/10/2021 - Day 52.
Watering. I adjusted the p.H to 6.3 and with 7 liters of water I evenly watered all three plants on the Farm. I stopped adding nutrients and supplements and the last two weeks as usual I only water with clean water.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.2 degrees and 41% humidity.
27/10/2021 - Day 55.
Watering. Procedure as three days earlier.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.1 degrees and 39% humidity.
28/10/2021 - Day 56.
Photographing for the end of the eighth week.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.6 degrees and 38% humidity.
That’s it for this week, I will be tracking the color of the trichomes every two days but it is certain that the harvest will be soon. See you soon.
Hello Diary.
It’s been the last week of growing Purple Queen on my little farm.
Certainly one of the most beautiful and certainly the most smelling plant that have grown on my Farm.
The leaves began to turn yellow with purple hues on the tips of the leaves that are close to the flowers, most of the trichomes are milky and here and there some brown.
So both visually and physically, the plant is ready for harvest.
65th day since the first day of vegetation, a total of 74 days since she sprouted along with her two roommates Do Si Dos.
The last week passed in anticipation, every two days I took samples from the flowers and looked under a microscope even though it was visible that she was ready.
I did it more because of Do Si Dos for which I was not sure if they would be ready.
The last watering was 5 days before harvest so she drank all the water available to her.
This will speed up the drying process. For the first time I am drying the plants in a herb dryer sent to me by friends from RQS, which will help me a lot in drying.
The dimensions are ideal for my needs, in my 120 cm X 60 cm grow box, two dryers fit next to each other.
The conditions on the farm are more than excellent, the humidity is about 40% while the temperature is about 25 degrees.
Here's how it looked last week.
30/10/2021 - Day 58.
Watering. As in the last 10 days, the watering is with clean water. I only regulate p.H at 6.3. With 7 liters of water, I water all three plants on the farm evenly.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.1 degrees and 38% humidity.
02/11/2021 - Day 61.
The last watering. p.H I lowered to 6.2 and now 7 liters of water I watered all three plants.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26 degrees and 41% humidity.
06/11/2021 - Day 65.
Harvest. After the last photo shoot, I removed all the larger leaves so I have less to do with trimming after drying. I cut branch by branch and put it in a herb dryer which I put in a grow box, turned off the lights and left to dry. Since the whole plant does not dry out in one piece, I believe it will be ready for trimming in about 10 days.
That’s all as far as my experience with growing Purple Queen is concerned, with no problems in these 9 weeks.
Now the most important part remains, and that is the quality of the smoke :).
Given the appearance of the flowers and especially the smell, I am really looking forward to that testing. See you soon.
Purple Queen Auto was harvested on the 74th day since it sprouted. Definitely a strain with the strongest scent so far.
It took three weeks of vegetation in which everything went great and the plant developed nicely.
After the third week of vegetation, she went through another six weeks of flowering in which she developed beautiful hard and large flowers whose strong scent most characterizes this strain.
Purple Queen Auto is easy to grow, I did not overdo it with nutrients and supplements and the plant grew from start to finish without any problems.
As the weeks of flowering passed, the flowers became heavier and heavier, so I had to tie them so that the branches would not break due to the weight.
The flowers are full of trichomes from which the floral-fruity scent spreads, they are hard and full to the touch, which has not been the case with some previous strains.
After drying in a herb dryer for twelve days, I stored them in jars where they matured for another three weeks.
The taste is immediately fruity on the first and already with the third smoke you can feel the strong effect of indica.
Later it remains a flowery aftertaste and a relaxed body and mind.
Purple Queen Auto is great for evening relaxation with a movie, good music and even socializing in not too much company.
In any case, I recommend this fruit rhapsody of taste to everyone, both for beginners and experienced growers.
Hello dear growers.
In the review, I described almost everything important, but here it is again briefly.
74 days from the time it sprouted until the day of harvest. Three weeks of vegetation and six weeks of flowering.
Purple Queen Auto went through that cycle without any problems, watering regularly, adding a little food a week for better growth and development and finally rewarding me with 65g of dried flowers.
I dried the plant in a herb dryer for the first time and maybe left them a little too long.
By the way, I used to dry the whole plant upside down and I didn't count on the branches to dry much faster.
Eventually after maturing in jars, the smoke flavor is strong fruity. By the way, I am a big fan of fruit flavors, so this strain is just to my taste.
The effect is as strong as expected from the indica so this is the strain I use at the end of the day to relax my body and soul.
In the end, the conclusion is that Purple Queen Auto is great for all lovers of indica and fruit flavors, it is easy to grow and gives a good yield.
Thanks to RQS for their support, most of all to James and everyone who followed this trip. See you soon.
Happy growing! I hope you get some good results! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
Peace & Love - L.S.T 🙏🏼🌟
Man your photos are super pretty to look at, I mean your plants are great too but goddamn those photos are fine AF!
Did you use a DSLR or are those your standard smartphone pictures and you're just super good at taking those?
