7/9/2018 - 100% success on sprouting for the Royal queen seeds. They are looking healthy and are growing great. Some small abnormalitys in their growth but we will see how it plays out for the rest of the grow.

7/23/2018 - Plants are looking good. Finally have them under some stronger light. Transplanted them today into 1 gallon pots. Will probably take about 2 weeks before they are ready to move into 5 gallon pots. Noticed some deficiencies this week and gave them a small dose of nutrients. Learned a lot from the previous grow. Hoping to get better results from this grow!

7/28/2018 - These girls are really starting to shine! Close nodes and bushing out nicely. They had some lower leaves this week start to lighten in color hence the nutrient feeding. Thinking I’m gonna start doing a 1/4 - 1/2 dosage feeding once per week at this point. Currently they are in 1 gallon pots and loving it. Should be another week or so before they get switched to their final pots of 5 gallons! They are veging in a 4x4 tent but I purchased a larger tent for flower (4x8). Excited to see these girls really take off!

8/5/2018 - The plants have started to show their white pistils. They are starting to bush up and thicken out. I’ve been feeding them once a week now as the soil isn’t no longer providing enough nutrients to thrive. I will let them veg for about another week and then switch them to flower. I started using Terpinator this week and have noticed some fruity/floral aromas from the plants. Can’t wait to see how these gals bud.

8/9/2018 - All of these girls are doing great and have all shown their white pistils now! The branching on them has taken off and they responded to being topped really well. I’ve switched them from my 4x4 grow tent into a 4x8. I have to say it is significantly better having the extra space to be able to water, move around and for better air circulation with multiple fans. I also believe this will greatly help with light penetration inventory they bush out. I’ve been having issues keeping the daytime air temperature down due to the extream heat wave we have been experiencing. I think I have tackled this issue by running the lights at night now while the temperatures are cooler. Tomorrow is the official switch to flower and will be on a 13 hours off, 11 hours on light cycle for the next 2 days. Then on a normal 12/12 light cycle. IVE read that this can help the plants switch quicker. I’m looking forward to seeing the growth over the next few weeks!

Plant growth has been outstanding. Did some defoliation this week on the lower fan leaves. I also took some clones right before the switch to flower. There is already a fragrent smell in the grow space. All of the special kush plants are doing well. One of them has some abnormal growth which I believe may be caused by the heat. The white widow is a little bit behind, still no pistils showing. I am looking forward to the budding stage!

It’s been a good week. The buds are starting to form. I will be adding an additional light soon to provide more of a red spectrum of light to the tent. I’ve been watering one day neutrients, one day pH water and one day nothing. The plants appear very happy and I’m looking forward to the upcoming weeks!

This week has been great. I’ve been stretching out the taller colas across the netting creating a nice even canopy for the buds. The lower colas have begun to catch up and the scrog hasn’t come along nicely. I added a bestva 1200 to the tent this week in order to increase the light levels from the red spectrum. Looking forward to the next 5 weeks!

Well the plants have definitely stopped stretching and are focusing on bud delevlopment now. The sent in the grow space is amazing! Trichome production is on the rise with the sugar leaves and bud completely covered. There should be 2-3 more weeks of growth before its time to chop them down. I am excited to figure out my overall harvest! I have 5 special kush and one white widow of anyone’s cares to guess yeild. Thank you for all the support during this grow.

The aromas fill the house every time I open this tent. It smells absolutely amazing! It has a very pungent sent with a fruity undertone. The trichome production has picked up significantly and the flowers are ripening nicely. I did face some issues this week. I began to notice some spotting appear across the upper fan leaves, similar to that of calcium deficiency. I was on a feeding schedule of day 1 nutrients 1/3 recommended dosage. Day 2 plain pH water and day 3 nothing. This resulted in me feeding 2-3 times a week. I decided to cut back to once per week for the time being and will pay close attention to the leaves that were unaffected. I haven’️t located any pests but have added beneficial insects, ladybugs, to the garden.

I have begun the flushing period this week. The aroma in the room is absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to grow these again. There was a slight calcium issue but that has been resolved.

The buds are rock solid. The aroma is magnificent with a pungent scent with fruity undertones. Looks like I’m on schedule to chop them down almost fully this upcoming week. I will leave some of the lower buds still going for another 5-7 days as I would like to have them fatten up slightly more. This has been one of Munich favorite grows so far and I look forward to sampling them soon!

This is now one of my absolute most favorite strains. It’s very euphoric and an overall great experience. The grow cycle took slightly over 8 weeks but it was well worth waiting a few extra days. I would highly recommend growing this strain as a first time grow as it is very forgiving.
