Royal Queen Seed first try

Gratak I am very extremely amazed at how solid the plants are growing. The thickness of the stem is remarkable, considering that I will only start fertilizing for the first time next week. The plants have handled the topping extremely well and didn't even have a stress-related downtime. I added Apple Fritter again, but this time directly into the substrate.

Gratak All plants have responded very well to topping; at this stage, it's important to use LST and HST to determine the number of stems and ensure that the important parts of the plant receive enough light.

Gratak I defoliated the plants twice this week because the important shoots were always covered. You can already see very clearly that the flowering is starting, so it's important that the main shoots are free to ensure even growth.

Gratak The plants handle defoliation very well. Despite being defoliated twice, they've grown from 24cm to 42cm, which is a very good progress. The stems are very thick, and the plant looks generally very healthy. As can be easily seen, they are now in the flowering stage. Apple Fritter is also doing well, even though the seed arrived a week later.

Gratak As you can see, the plants are fully in bloom and have a significant amount of defoliation they could use. Now, each bud should get its light, and anything that is too crowded or not getting light will be removed, as it only costs the plant energy. I think from now on there won't be much more to trim until harvest, so the plants can grow relaxed now. I will increase the lights to about 80% power starting Thursday. Apple Fritte has a bud mutation; I've seen something like this before, but it's always interesting to see.

Gratak The bigger the buds get, the more leaves I remove so that all the buds get the optimal amount of light. This week they only stretched 9cm, which shows that most of the energy is now going into the buds. Since Titan has remained very compact, I've thinned out more inside to avoid potential mold. So far, I'm really very satisfied with the seeds from @RoyalQueenSeeds.

Gratak The plants now need at least 1.5 liters of water a day to avoid drying out and are in full bloom. I've rearranged them all again so that the ones in the back can adjust in terms of size. Most of the buds are now nicely frosted, and I'm already looking forward to the tasting.

Gratak I'm very satisfied with the development of the buds. Like every week, I had to defoliate properly again and take a close look at the plants. The plants are already starting to drop leaves on their own, so I'm increasing my light output to 100% for solid buds at the end.

Gratak Lights are now running at 100%, and the harvest can start in about 1-2 weeks. The plants are already starting to shed their excess leaves to focus completely on the buds.

Gratak The harvest time has come. As you can see, the plants have packed their remaining energy from the leaves into the buds and have really put on some weight because of it. The grow has been fun from start to finish. I'm already looking forward to the tasting after drying and curing. Wishing you all a great grow and big buds.

Gratak Beautiful plant, it was relaxing to grow and with a dry final yield of 161.76 I'm very satisfied.

Gratak Titan was already the smallest plant from the start, and with 85.53 grams of dry weight, it's a bit on the low side, but the buds and the taste are top-notch.

Gratak Solid plant with good yield, but it wasn't necessarily the top banana strain; I've definitely had better, but it's worth a try.

Gratak The problem was that the first seed didn't germinate, so there's about a 2-week gap between Apple Fritter and the rest. With 149.46g, it was still very strong and definitely has potential.

Gratak Solid results in terms of yield and appearance, you can definitely go for it if you don't know what to grow.
