I will come back to update this appropriately as I dry and cure, but she was chopped today 4/17/2024 at 12:40 CDT! Her top cola's were showing a decent mix of cloudy and amber. Her mid and bottoms looked pretty milky with few clear so it felt like a good time to take her down. (Included shots of both top, mid, and bottom nugs, so some trichome shots will not have amber since I didn't ride until everything was fully done. (I would have to chop top cola's and I prefer to just hang dry the whole plant and take the lower stuff for edibles.) She is thick and her nugs feel very dense. I am hoping she rivals my first plant or possibly exceeds her. She definitely put on more weight than Sherbet did, but Sherbet finished about 5 weeks faster... So to each their own! We don't judge here, at least not the speed of growth. 😉 She is drying at 63/60 now. It will be harder to give her 60/60 like Sherbet got, but I will try my best! Stop back in 28 days for the smoke report! 🙏

I just finished trimming her and now she is curing. She came in at 62 grams of nice smokeable buds, and about 20 grams of shake/trim/popcorn for my edible adventures, so I am happy! For a plant that finished in 10 weeks from sprout to chop, I can't complain. I think the nitrogen issues shortened her life span and reduced her yields, but it smells fantastic, tastes great, and the little sampler I tried last night sent me to the moon, so I am excited to enjoy the fruits of the labor. It was a very easy plant to grow. I did very little outside of a bit of trimming, a bit of LST, and a couple of flushes. Hopefully, the experience I picked up here will help me avoid nitrogen toxicity next time. (Or at least recognize it sooner) So, as a smoking product, she sits around 8.5/10. She isn't going to put you in a coma, but the high is very strong and it hasn't even been cured yet. It's a great cerebral buzz that sets in behind the yes and hovers over the frontal cortex. It gets me energized and feeling good. The smell is citrus/sweet mostly. The buds smell way more after drying, than they did while she was growing, so that was exciting. She was a bit leafy! Probably because of the nitrogen overdose, but I will have to see if that happens again when I get back around to popping another Queen. Now we just need to get that Royal Creamatic through the finish line and I can move on to my next one!
