Royal Dwarf Outdoor

The Royal Dwarf stayed very small, less than 40 cm. I guess I started growing her too early (mid-March) and it didn't get enough light during the first 3-4 weeks. It finally gave buds which are dense and aromatic with loads of thricomes. Total yield for this plant was 14 g (wet), will update the amount after drying is completed. The plant basically consisted of 1 main bud and few smaller ones. I guess some LST can improve the yield by making the side buds larger. I harvested 100 days after sprouting, so it took a longer that what reported by the breeder (6-8 weeks, but I guess this is only possible with ideal indoor conditions). I could have waited for 1 more week, but I had issue with spider mites and decided not to wait any longer. I started with nutrients very late, but definitely this strain needs to be fed over the whole life cycle.

First taste 2 weeks after harvesting. Not bad at all for a first attempt. It gives a very enjoyable high, combining a relaxed feeling with a good mood. The taste is just the same as during the growth. Quite aromatic with some citrus note. I surely recommend the Royal Dwarf strain from RQS. Now the challenge will be to get better yields from my balcony. 5g after drying is surely not much and I saw other growers harvested way more from this strain than I did. Nonetheless, a fun and rewarding experience!
