First outdoor grow RQS Special Queen #1

I only started out this growing dairy while she's already halfway blooming. I'll give a short summer of the vegetation fase: I grew this plant from seed. Using a combination of topping, lst and ScrOGging. I choose to plant it in my garden without pot so the plant can reach it's full potential. I choose this combination because I wanted to maximize harvest without having a huge three in my garden. At the beginning everything was going as planned. I topped the plant, put it from the pot into the soil, put 1x1m metal grid above the plant and started ScrOGging. It all looked mathematically perfect untill.. the plant was growing faster than I could keep up with and bigger the the grid was built for. I continued stretching the plant sideways beyond the point I couldn't reach the middle anymore. After lots of doubts I decided to leave it like this and gave up on mathematicallly Scrogging. As a result new branches in the middle started growing upwards and I ander up with a dome -shaped plant and it looks like she's going to be very productive. When the first signs of blooming period appeared I took out all the small branches, big leaves and small fluffy hairs that wouldn't grow decent butts. Two weeks into the blooming period I took out all big leaves. As a result the plant has a very wide base and lots of long and vertically stretching branches carrying lots of nice looking and still developing buts.

Special Queen with a bit of morning dew and a hint of basil.. Buts keep growing and she's looking strong. Weather is very sunny and warm for this period of the year. Hope it'll stay this way for a bit longer... About one month to go before harvest

Weather is great, the Special Queen is shining, developing more and more white glitter. Love the sativa style butts, looks like she'll grow some long and solid cola's. The biobizz nutrition is showing it's use. Just hope she'll be finished on time. Till now she's a little ahead of her sisters regarding her stage of bloom

Weather is still great, buds are still growing... But... Despite the good conditions I found some rotten tops. I took them out. Will do a close, daily inspection. I stopped watering her, just to make sure the soil is dry in case it's a factor for the rotten tops. Since here rooting system goes very deep I don't worry about her drying out. I think she'll need at least two more weeks before harvest, if possible a bit longer. Let's see how things turn out...

Abruptly took her down yesterday. Weather is turning bad and she's showing a lot of small rotten buds. But... Stil a lot of good stuff left! Regarding volume, she already exceeds my expectations Taking out the rotten spots and hanging her to dry. Smell is sweet and heavy. Curious how she will taste...
