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! 🙏 So this is a bit before 28 days, but she is all trimmed and jarred up. I have tested a few nugs and my god, she is amazing! Brilliant honey cream taste with a fantastic high. Hits you in the middle of the head to start and loosens up your whole body as it progresses down your spine. The pleasant full body buzz made a 3 hour house cleaning session fly right on by. She ended up giving me about 117 grams of smokeable bud with an extra 20 grams of edible trim. The total harvest clocked in at: 117 grams of Royal Creamatic 63 grams of Sherbet Queen roughly 35 grams of edible trim/larf from both plants combined. Now its time for round 3! Seedlings are currently germinating and I will have that diary started within the next few weeks as I have the time! Thanks for following along with this run!

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!

What can I say besides hell yes!!! My first grow is in the books. I spent the end of 2023 chopping her down and snipping her up. She is now kicking it in her mesh drying rack spread out amongst the four levels. She made it to 87 days from sprout (Probably could have gone a few more without issue, but I felt it was time to wrap this one up and move on to the next one) I made so many major mistakes, but she took em all and came through with an epic harvest. I am sure if one of you experienced growers got a shot with her, you would be hauling away something special. She smelled great the moment she entered flower, and her earthy gasoline smell built up until harvest. At the very end, I couldn't keep up and filter the smell, so I am glad she came down! (Neighbors may have had reason to complain soon!) I haven't gotten a chance to weigh her, or smoke her. She is currently drying/curing so I will report back with the final update in a few weeks to let you guys know how much she gave in the end, and how she smokes. Thanks for joining me on this journey! The initial review of the plant's genetics and growing process is 10/10. She was a perfect plant for a beginning and she ended up providing a harvest that will thrill my fiance, so it has been a win-win! I can't wait to get the final numbers and give her a smoke. If you are just starting out, or want a plant with some backbone I recommend grabbing some White Widow from Royal Queen Seeds! Final update! Ended up with 93 grams of dried nugs, and around 15 grams of larf/popcorn for edibles. dried for 10, cured for 14. First half ounce smoked decently, but didn't have much terps showing through. I slowly brought out 14 grams at a time, and now a month after curing started the buds are smelling great, tasting fantastic, and baking my brain just the way I wanted. I am so pleased with the product and can't believe I managed to grow something like this on my first try. Can't wait until my 2nd harvest is finished, but this first one has been a near complete success!
