Royal Dwarf is a compact autoflowering strain based on the outstanding Skunk genetics that was crossed to ruderalis. The plant inherits the strong aroma and high resin production. This mostly sativa strain contains 60% sativa, 10% indica and 30% ruderalis. This small and easy to grow plant is excellent choice for any grower. The plant develops a small structure with dense buds and grows up to 50-90 cm tall. The strain is ideal for indoor in reduced places and also for outdoor cultivation. The flowering time takes only 8-9 weeks from shoots. Royal Dwarf demonstrates excellent results and the yields reach to 150-200 gr/m2 inside and to 30-80 gr/plant outside The effect is very similar to well-known Skunk variety. The smoke brings a soft social and relaxing "body stone" high. I found this description very close to the mark and although I have not cured plant B and Plant a is still drying I can attest that the smoke i tried was a beautiful smooth herbal taste with hints of earthiness and skunk an instant feeling of calmness and relaxation that develops into a nice body stone That is fantastic for doing casual things like hanging out with friends , going to the beach etc etc. I still have two seeds of this strain so at some point I will grow it again I can't give the strain a 10 out of 10 score simply because of the phenotype variance between seeds so my score is 8 out of 10 being it's Easy to grow , finishes quick and the smoke is nice Thank you Royal Queen seeds I will try your products again when I get the chance πŸ‘ŠπŸ‘ŠπŸ˜€βœŠπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŠπŸ™

Excellent Value for money I would recommend having a cal mag supplement handy if you do not use the Go Green
This silica is simply a must have when growing with hydroponics Not only does it strengthen your plants cell walls it acts as a buffer when mixing your nutes πŸ’ͺ I didn't use ryzofuel this grow however I can attest that it is fantastic for promoting root growth
Ozi Tonic is absolutely dynamite for Plant health as it contains things that your regular A+B nutes don't have such as fulvic acid amino acid bees wax etc etc
I am still unsure as to how much or how little this product had on my grow and final product however because I cannot add molasses to my hydro nutes This was the closet thing as it contains mostly molasses in a form that is stable for DWC

This is the last week and therefore last update of the Viparspectra test diary. I have harvested both plants now and as plant B is nearly finished drying Plant A has only just begun. PLANT B went pretty much as expected She vegged for four weeks and flowered for seven so was finished in just under 80 days. Her Buds are sticky dense and skunky with lots and lots of visible frosting. She smokes up a treat in fact I had a joint a short while ago and it is making the typing of this report a little difficult. Bit of blurred vision Lol This Girl was an absolute breeze to grow She gobbled up the nutes up until the end of week 5 flowering and then she slowed right down on her uptake. This pheno of the dwarf was a real pleasure to grow . PLANT A as I called her stayed in the vegetative stage for a week or so longer than her sister. This helped her yield immensely and I am being conservative when I say I think I will get 3 ounces of trimmed prime bud once she is fully dried. At Harvest her buds have a cheesy , fruity smell that is quite pungent. I am looking forward to smoking some for a test. She Grew quite easily I only had the one issue with overfeeding and after a nutrient change she was fine . She developed very thick base and had a very strong plant scructure I called this one dwarf pheno five as I have grown five Royal Dwarf auto Plants Now and They have all been very different in size leaf shape growth and end result. There are too many variations of phenotype within this strain , the first time I grew 3 seeds of the Royal dwarf and they were all different to each other had fairly poor yields and were generally unimpressive. However atleast half of that should be on me as it was my first attempt at an auto flowering variety. This grow I only did the 2 plants and will yield close to 5 oz of very good quality cannabis but I am looking for a variety that i can germinate a seed of, and know in my mind that it will grow and be roughly the same as the last time I grew it . So will grow this strain again Yes I still have two seeds left so I will More than likely grow them out at some stage. But for Now I will keep looking for the ideal auto strain with a stable reliable phenotype. Is there such a thing even? I'm sure there must be something out there and I will endeavour to find it. That Concludes The Growth Part of This Diary The drying Buds will eventually be cured fully in mason jars with boveda packs. I really must try Royal Queen seeds again some Time Now for My final thoughts and conclusions Regarding the star of my show,the Viparspectra Timer Control Series 450W LED Grow Light This was my first grow using an LED light and i was as skeptical as all hell at first especially after buying one and then reading don't buy a blurple LED and you wasting your money etc etc Lol. But Having now sampled the finished goods (sticky icky buds) I can vouch for the fact that they do work you can grow a quality plant from seed to harvest with this light but just one photo plant or as i did 2 autos . trying to get any more coverage than this will only lead to disapointment. They are what they are and if you are looking for a light for small grow this may just be what you need. It has very simple controls both on the light and on the handy remote that comes with it. The light brightness is fully adjustable from 0-100 so it is perfect for seedlings and mature plants It has a Veg setting and a Bloom setting It has it's own built in fully programmable timer And also built in fairly quiet fans So all in all it is a compact all in one unit that does the job I asked it to do I can't Expect anymore than that . In the images section of this last weeks update I have included some pics of the what the light looks like and some information regarding it's technical specifications and Light spectrum. I sincerely hope I was able to provide an informative and Honest evaluation of this light and I hope you enjoyed it Thanks for taking the time to read it > I will update the smoke reports after curing ONE MONTH SMOKE REPORT it's been a month since I harvested these girls and have had some of the buds slow curing ever since they had dried. Today 1st September 2019 as a tester whilst completely straight ( hadnt had a puff since the previous pm) I had 3 bongs in a row and boy oh boy the flavours have developed into an earthy pungent taste and the high hits almost immediately right between the eyes πŸ˜‚ I was fairly ripped for the next couple of hours before it slowed down to a relaxing calm laid back mood. Quite a lot of triches in the bottom of the grinder so might be a good strain for extractions too Thanks again for looking in at my diaries I appreciate it .

Plant A in the above pics has distinct yellowing of the leaves despite correct ph range of nutrient solution any ideas of problem/solution And is the same age as her sister who is well into flower. Remembering she's an auto would putting her in 24 hours darkness make her flower?😬

I recommend lowering the nutrients a bit on her and doing a water change, if you don't do 1 regularly. Doesn't seem like 1 deficiency. Could be excess salts built up in the reservoir locking out nutrients even though PH is in range. She seems stressed and that's why she is a little slower, that and pheno of course! Do the roots look healthy? Putting her in darkness wont make her flower any faster if its good genetics. Even a photoperoid 12/12 from seed wont start showing buds until its mature enough (typically 3 weeks). Guess that's why some growers dont consider flowering stage til they see budlets. Good luck and happy growing! πŸ’ͺπŸ€

Hey, I guess plant A didn't catch the auto gene from its ruderalis ancestors. I reckon once B is harvested, and you switch the light cycle to 12/12 she may flower. But she'll be a tree by then! It's a shame you can't put A in to a cupboard - I'm guessing the (amazing) hydro setup won't allow you to do this. I'm going to make one of those, when I can get some money together.

@hcf2012, thanks for the compliments πŸ˜€ Unfortunately putting an Autoflower under 12-12 lighting won't make it flower. An auto should flower under any lighting schedule but was talking to a breeder and he mentioned that now and again a usually fairly stable auto strain will produce a throwback to it's added photoperiod genetics. Makes sense too when you think about it

Did a full water and nutrient change today and have only gone with a half strength mix this time I think my plants sucked up a lot of water causing the ppm to rise so much thus eventually leading to nutrient lockout ??? Ph went from 5.8-6 which is nothing to worry about πŸ™
