Special Queen #1, Garden Summer 2025

Sejanus21 I germinated another Sepcial Queen #1 seed in March just in case the other Special Queen #1 seed would not survive. This one also took a long time, started in my basement, moved into a 12,5l Airpot into my greenhouse and then on Friday (June 6) I transplanted the lady into a deep hole in our garden. I put some Haifa Multicote 6M depot fertilizer and Dynomyco Mykorrhiza into the soil. The spot is under a tree, not a lot of sunshine, but at least some protection. Up to now the lady was fed similar to my other Special Queen #1, mainly Plagron Alga Grow. Since this plant is my experimental playground, I topped her at least four times until now. And what can I say, she is looking incredibly powerful with a LOT of stems ready for flower in a similar height. But see yourself on the pictures. I am really curious whether she will make it until harvest in October. It all depends on the weather, especially in autumn; too much humidity and mildew and bud rot will get her. I will try my best to prevent this.

Sejanus21 The Special Queen #1 in my garden soil is becoming a monster. She has added 30cm in two weeks and is expanding in all directions. I am not sure whether I can handle this :-)

Sejanus21 I would have never expected that the lady is becoming such a beautiful monster. Remember, this is one plant! Simply incredible, how she is growing in all directions. Although I topped her several times before replanting, she is now 130cm (and that is before the flower stretch). She just gets water, living from the soil and the Haifa Multicote 6M depot fertilizer.

Sejanus21 Special Queen #1 is thriving, even without any additional nutrition. The spot under the quince tree seems to be ideal. A lot of sun in the morning and some protection against rain and wind. This is the easiest grow ever. I am looking forward to the flowering phase which should start soon.

Sejanus21 After four weeks, time for another update. The lady has stretched to over 2m! I did not do ANYTHING. She is growing all by herself. Only nutrition, except for mother nature's soil, is the depot fertilizer Haifa Multicote 6M which I dropped in the earth when I replanted her into soil months ago. She is living happily under my quince tree, next to a nice dahlia. The only thing that could stop her is bad weather and mold. Let us keep our fingers crossed :)

Sejanus21 I love Special Queen #1. Everytime I grow her, I am impressed by her nice growth and beautiful buds (next to also beautiful dalia flowers). And this time, it is a whole TREE of Glory! I am starting to give her some additional food; as a special booster my PK powerhouse Haifa Vitaphos K 4-31-49. The fruits you see above the lady are quinces. Today, I harvested 5kg and made some tasty quince jelly. Peace!

Sejanus21 Special Queen #1 is a reliable work horse. Every time I grow her I marvel about the nice buds. They are compact, resinous and smell like fresh orange. In the last two weeks, we had some heavy rain and winds. Many leaves are turning yellow, but that is normal in this stage of flowering. Anyway, I could not resist to give her a little extra nitrogen and calcium with my reliable Calcinit. Big harvest is coming in two to three weeks.

Sejanus21 In a matter of days the proud lady is in full autumn mode; leaves are yellow and hanging down. No mold yet. I started to harvest today after almost 200 days. The trichoms are mostly cloudy. It took me more than an hour to pre-trim one thick branch (and that is only a fraction of the tree ...). I might do another one on Tuesday. Let us see, whether I am lucky to hold off the end boss (mold) for another few days.

Sejanus21 During trimming I discovered that the lady hermied. I found 10 seeds. That was the reason why she collapsed so quickly at the end of September. I decided to harvest roughly half of the total plant and still received 142g of dried popcorn buds and sugar leaves, ready to be processed into QWET-MCT Tincture in the next weeks.
