I planted two seeds directly in rockwool and a little coco fiber to fill-in the hole. Both sprouted and took off like weeds. They were transplanted to 1gal net pots w/ hydrocorn for veg. Even though I let my PH in veg drift way low, the plants continued to thrive.
The plants are identical, true F1 hybrids. The difference in height is due to the use of CytoGrow, as you can see the one on the right has remained much shorter, w/ very little stretch. The bud is also much denser then the untreated plant.
The Valley Queen continues to impress. It is a very sturdy plant, no need for support. They both appear to be on track to finish at about 58-63 days, trics are mostly milky at this point, but I like to wait for about 10% amber before the cut. No more nutes for these girls, so they should start to suck up the N soon, as heavy metal deficiency has already started.
I'll be popping some more of these seeds soon, as they have proven a joy to grow. VQ#2 has shown a few male flowers, but by no means would I call it a hermi.
I can say that this plant is also a joy to trim, took me all of ten minutes to remove all the non-essential leaf and stem. The top cola finished a little over a foot tall of nice dense bud. No idea on dry weight, I'll report back when its done.
Just when things were looking great, mold sets in. While inspecting Valley Queen #1 last night I was shocked and horrified to find, what I consider the worst growers blight of all…… MOLD!!!! I hate mold as it rears its ugly head at the most inopportune time, right at harvest. I must say that high humidity has been a problem lately, but w/ good air flow I've kept it in check. Or so I thought. I'm really pissed as this cola could have gone another week and gotten even fatter. In an effort to save what I could, I removed the top cola, trimming away all moldy chunks (I’ll make bubble at least) and putting the remaining plant back in the flower room. I was able to salvage about 3 grams of what would have been a very sizable bud. Oh well, I guess that is the one downside to this strain is that it is susceptible to mold. Other than that, it is still a winner
As far as smoke report, initial findings are positive. Valley Queen has a very smooth and creamy flavor, almost nutty. Very little smell and it don’t linger long on the pallet. The high is uplifting, like you'd expect from a good skunk cross. A good strain for travel/stealth as it won't stink up you or your car in the bag, like some of my other strains. It won't make the top 5 but it will make a reappearance as long as I have seeds Even without the top cola the plant should still yield at least an ounce, so after smokin a bit, I'm over my disappointment
Well the remainder of Valley Queen #1 met the ax on Friday. I think the extra week (minus the top cola) did wonders for the plant. The smell characteristic has totally changed; the mellow nutty aroma has been replaced w/ a harsh skunky one, a very strong odor indeed. Yield is quite impressive; as I'm sure I'll end up w/ over an ounce from the bottom buds

I was the highest bidder for these 100% female seeds in the JEAST auction.
Out of 10 seeds, 3 were cracked most likely in shipping, and the remaining 7 all germinated using paper towel within 36 hours. Seedlings were grown under 24 hours of fluros for 2 weeks in vermiculite. Plants were very unif ...continued
