Big improvement on all the Royal Queen Seeds plants this week.
That same Sundae Driver that hermed has not shown any new male flower growth at all. In fact, the Sundae Driver buds are all looking a bit denser this week. Their smell is incredible. It smell is identical to a bowl of fruity pebbles when I was a kid. Also, check out the coloration on the leaves near the buds. As the plants grow closer to full maturity those purple edges should bleed deeper into the leaves.
Purple Queen also exploded in her development this week. Still only minimal trichome development, but her buds have grown visibly larger. Her smell is less sweet, closer to the OG Kush but with a little citrus.
I’m certain the Royal Queen crop’s development this week must be due to last week’s maintenance. I trimmed all the growth beneath the trellis and, on the Sundae Driver, I removed entire branches that had male flower growth. Later in the week a few hours after watering you could really see that the plants were focusing all their growth up top at the bud sights.
And last but not least, FastBuds’ OG Kush is continuing to fatten up her nugs. Some resin was observed this week, along with a few amber trichomes. According to FastBuds, this next week could be her last. Her trichome ratio will likely be sufficient this time next week, but I may let her go a bit further.
