Early Queen Diary Circa 2025 - 2026 Dave Et al

Hey guys. It’s go go go round here. I still gotta take a piss from last Wednesday. I started to take a couple plants down. I watered again this evening and will be cutting dreadlocks for the foreseeable.

I really like the Early Queens. It’s a 9-10 from me on those before we go into the unblind taste tests.

I don’t think I’ve had such big buds on seed plants before. I pulled one today after an inspection I could see that the pollination had taken so I left that branch on the frame to finish up. One of the other tops I seen had some funny looking thing and a small bit of fluff. So I got the scissors and dealt with it all and didn’t find any more. Easiest way to check with plants bigger than you are.. Took about 7 hours to deal with the plant. I hope the next one won’t take so long. I’ll pluck the others and hang them as they need it at sign of any degradation. I don’t have any insects that I am aware of and it’s looking like it’s drying ok. Could be slower but we can’t have everything. I put wires up in a shipping container and I have a fan unit in there.

It coulda gone a while longer the 3 that’s I have pulled but it’s just a matter of days, there’s a lot of weed here and I need to be sure a couple of these plants come in. It’s all about to happen and I don’t want to fall behind.

I could have just cut out that problem branch but sometimes it better to just get a start on things

I will get some more pictures as I pull them down, it’s been a bit of a hot sticky one today.

Mainly thinning out the yellowing leafs with the plants at this stage, touching FB them every day opening up the canopy to the sun and letting them finish up. There’s no time to hang around. I’m washing up the hash washing up and plenty to get on with. 92A43076-5CAD-4675-88E5-3682FDC31B0E.jpegE391A78C-D952-459A-9F88-4EC372C76768.jpeg

These Queens just smell the same as the Psychosis plant. They share a lot of the same characteristics. The smell is lovely

😊


If I’m not back tomorrow just wait longer.


See you on the other side. Cowabunga…

😁

The first Queen was a beast. It filled a whole line across the container
There was still 3 tops on the trunk I’d missed when I was clearing the inner canopy out the other plants today. I’ve left a bit on each one to finish up out of sight of any eyes at this time.

They smell Devine. I want to see what they look like when they are much more developed or with a longer dark period and see if the calyx will all ripen up and pop without any botrytis. I’m not risking it on all the plants but a few tops ill leave.

I filled a few more lines today went round and done some more removal of yellow leafs on the haze plants. The bucks are very interesting. One is more Skunky the other more SEA influence with smell like electric sour metallic citrus and really greasy. Reminds me of CheesexSMG. That’s gonna be a great smoke that plant is.

The SEA plants are not fading up like the others. Those 2 plants and the Afghan are just waxy and like nothing is happening. The wind meh.. They are great and suited for growing up on a ridge. The bigger hazes they take a bit of a beating but I’m on hand and it’s all gotta come in.

This is what one of the bigger hazes looks like now. I’ve had to fold the top over on the other one to do any maintenance. It may not survive that bit. I’ve tried it with a few plants so at the weekend I can see what has the most potential for keeping around on a test smoke.

This is the biggest of the EPSkHze it smells great. There’s different morphology in flower forms in this garden both in the frame of the plants and the way they stretch and then the types of flowers they throw out and the speed of which they set bloom.

The EPSKHze plants have the potential to get too big if there can be such a thing 😁

I put some pollen on a few plants and I have frozen some pollen from the males. I’ve killed all the males except the one SEA that was the very quickest to flower and I’ve set some seed with him, he responds best to forced pruning and keeps the green look and keeps on throwing out. The Fibonacci plant I culled I topped it and left a couple of branches to open up and i’ve saved some of that and have quite a lot of seeds 😝 These are an F1 these Pearly Haze things so I think and be interesting to see what the f2 of the Queens and Haze grow like. If you like sweet skunk and fruit fuel and vanilla apricot then these 2 seed types EQ and EPSKHze are not gonna let you down.

I know what skunk traits are and what haze does been there done that, it’s the Pearl seems to have something about it that shows across these 3 cultivars, I can’t put words to it just yet but there is something in the flowers and the frame that seems to be visible to me. The way it shows across the garden plants I like it.

There is something more going on in the Queens. They are great. I’ve grown a fair bit of critical but these are next level IMHO.

After the 4 days of no water as a shock the plants have started to finish up quicker I think. Intermittent ice cold water from hash extraction might help too. Terpy water 😎

The queens are fading up after a forced water shortage. They are just too vigours, the haze’s started to fade as soon as the water consistency did with the very tops using the shade leafs for nutriments.


The Queen’s I want a load of them next season that waxy leaf and insane node placements. I can work that better next run. Must be something in the early girl or super-skunk that gets them colas so woof. Crazy amounts of petioles in them flower stacks to work but it’s got huge potential if you like this flavour. Grows like the old AK with a lot of bud leaf but not in a bad way, crazy growth.

I’m on top of the gardens. Had little problems with anything but heat, it’s like riding a bike once you get into it. I have nearly pulled the main garden. It will be done this weekend. Just a few finishing up a bit longer and waiting on hanging space. No real idea on total biomass.. I could swim in it 😀 been vaping about 1/2 ounce of flower a day since the accident.

I’ve done some wet trimming and hung some that has been stripped in the field and hung. Some I didn’t bother with trimming. They were all to big for me to hang on digital suitcase scales and get a weight so I didn’t bother.

I pulled 44oz + maybe 10 more off one of them bigger EPSKHze plants and the other was much bigger and has filled a dustbin. They could have gone longer but in hindsight I’m glad most the work is done now as the caterpillars have now become an issue with the rain and the hillsides being cut back for the Olive harvest.

I have most of it in buckets now and I’ve some that I’ll box bucket up later. I can trim but I cannot power the big snips or saw…

I have a mate with me the gardens will come down, and I’ve got some seeds arriving with the ‘Bee lady again’ 🥳

One of the Queens seems to be working well to stop muscle spasms in my shoulder today and it makes the world of difference at this time. It all Smokes well but needs a good long cure.

The dryroom Smells incredible

I think if I hadn’t taken this when I started to botrytis from the rains and the caterpillars would have taken many many tops. I didn’t loose anything really to insects up till my fall. I’ve lost more growing a 3 light room inside pushing it to the very limits with Critical and other heavy flowering types.

I have some tops of an Early Buck that run 1m+ of bud with no stems.

It was more of a test this to see what worked best if they finish up on time and what time, what is needed in post harvest etc to have a re run. I will definitely grow these 2 types from MNS again. But I’m not keeping cuttings etc after this accident. I’ll start the SSHAC the Ortega and Skunks and I’ll make a transfer over to Jakody and get the ASH and the Devil and the NL#5 if I don’t have any success in the auctions…

Guys. I really like the Early Queen smell it’s not as tasty as some of the plants I’ve had as clones for decades but it is the same smell… My head can’t get round this where is the 11 on the tongue 🤔 I need a re run without any pollen..

@shantibaba - What other seed types that are under the MNS banner or your Shantibaba banners have the scent profile from the Queens. It is Devine. Is that more Superskunk male influence than Early Pearl Early Girl in your opinion. I think to me from my limited experience it’s very SS but I say this only as many of my old cuttings have that same wall Penetrating sweet aroma, shiva or silver pearl Skunky NL types…

The CheesexNL plants have the Queen aroma almost identically but it’s much more violent. They just don’t have that Early Queen vigour. What could I look into that also has the same Male and is there any with a similar female 😍

The terrace garden is all Sinsemilla 😎 the sea is in the background behind the shade cloth . It’s very high up at that spot..I’ll get some better images later this week .

Not a lot there but the quality definitely is. Not as much 🐛 and easier to garden. (No risk of falling 😂)

The other Early Pearl CAOS ‘Early Buck’ are finishing up. Bit of colouration coming through in the leafs now and fading to
some pigmentation. The Cali-0 or Royal Orange is almost done too. The CNLKCBB are gonna need a bit longer still there isn’t much early in these yet. I think the cross made earlier this year the one with the Queen males to the 1-2-3-4-5 ‘Early Cream’ will perhaps speed them up 🤷‍♂️ I think they might be staying till Croptober 🤓
 
I’ve been able to sample some of the various plants. I have taken to smoking a particular Early Queen. They are all very similar however one of them seems to be heat muscle relaxant and although I seeded the plant quite heavily it is just very very moorish. Like I’m getting through it. It’s burning really really clean. I’ve had it sealed up during the accident for a few weeks and popped this bucket and 🔥 I will try get some better pictures. I’m enjoying shucking seeds. The hazes ain’t bad but they haven’t really got a look in till I’ve smoked all this plant. Pulled the terrace garden and have to start sampling that soon 🥳

I pulled a few nice nugs off one of the later Queens yesterday and some off the Afghan plant that I left some bits on which have now turned purple. The inner bits. C049613D-57A9-4574-95F9-8CDDC3BC2873.jpeg

This thing is fruity fruity! It’s not massively potent but it was seeded up. Nevertheless it’s very skunky with some juniper antiseptic sweet thing with some berry there on the nose. It’s creamy and floral traits come through the nose on the inhale and the powerful Danky sulphur on the exhale. It’s kinda Sweet’N’souR. It is kinda dreamy
