Comments:

This plant turned out good, I tried to germ 2 and 1 popped, got a sativa dom pheno. I put it in to flower at a fairly small size and it filled out it's space. Turned in to some nice bud in the time frame they said it would take. It got hit with mites pretty bad but still developed well.

- Finished weight: 80g, just under 3 oz
- 2 feet of space in a 3 gallon pot of peat and perlite
- Stretches a lot (see pics)
- Really good calyx to leaf ratio and bud structure
- Trim is good for hash, not a lot of it though
- Buds range in density from very fluffy to medium density
- Resin to vegetation ratio is really good
- Buds have a mild odor of grape juice at the end of flowering and after cure

The smoke is kind of like it smells, a mild grape juice taste. The smoke is smooth and hashy and has a strong expectorant effect after exhale. Has a potent hybrid buzz, more sativa like it looks.

This seed company has given me good results so far, both plants I've grown from them turned out high quality and they were freebies. I think I'll try a couple more.

From the picture, 49 days was no where close to ready...

Nice looking plant, I like the mini scrog set-up. I've considered taking royal queen for a test drive. Thanks for the informative report.

49 days does seem fairly short, especially when you look at all the white hairs that have yet to change color or recede.

I would be highly surprised if it was thin mint, when I grew it the outcome was very similar to the forum cut. I actually had one seed on the plant and grew it out again. I like the cookies crosses but I really don't LOVE them. I am more of a J-1 or headband kinda guy.

GREAT JOB, Bud Tipps - Those are some FAT-ASS colas bro! - Expertly Grown
