RQS Royal Cheese auto Rd 2

These have been flushed nearly 2 weeks. I can't see much more peak in maturity at this point. These have been cut down after a dark period on 2/5/22. Trichomes haven't really changed to much in the last few days except an exceptional increase overall. Turned the light power down the last nearly 2 weeks from 100 to 80% this seems to help. Trichomes are mostly all in the fully cloudy state, some Amber around but a low percentage. I don't see these appreciating more time this time around. I have seen a pheno of this strain not develop true Amber degrading and actually show a yellowish/gold change. This tells me a pheno may not really ever Amber much and that fully milky is complete. I will say, the tallest plant that has nice color but not the type of depth and large sized trichomes I would appreciate, actually smells very impressively strong and may be better than I think. It is the plant that won't really provide much Amber. More proof, for myself at least that less Amber is likely to be most potent in flavor/aroma. Terpenes are at there peak. Although other benefits can come from Amber, it is not necessary for quality flower. I am less satisfied with this particular royal cheese grow than previous 2 grows (1 wasn't documented via diary) I have had really nice flower in past runs but 1 of these plants is terrible 92%(honestly not to over exaggerated) leaf to bud ratio but it's the most sweetest smelling and purpled out plant! Very disappointed with it although It was fun to grow and it enjoyed life. -the tallest plant is going to be ok, decent node spacing for once and actual height but just was a yellow plant to fast with very healthy run off and pH status and fed safely, organically for the most part and just unsure. Maybe needed "more" for once as I didn't feed it to many times overall. *Plant #2 middle in size. This is the one folks. I'm telling you from my first diary this is the plant. The bud structure, the smell, the look... everything. It's the one that you want to find. Iv had the pleasure of meeting her sister and she was amazing. Found her way to RQS page. Absolutely magnificent. Picture perfect cheese! So very happy. Thank you RQS. This one is excellent to find. My future, for a while may be done with auto flowers for now but only to continue to learn and enjoy other styles and cultivores. RQS wedding Gelato, as soon as I am able to find it accessible to myself, I want it! Until then I'll do with what I'm able to get. Stay tuned, drying in process. More to report ahead.
