Green Queen Auto

Days 1 to 14. Green Queen cracks on damp paper towel inside about two days and is through the medium by day three, given warmth and patience rather than intervention. Seedlings want humidity near 70% and no nutrients at all — the seed carries everything for the first week. By the end of the fortnight you are looking for even node spacing rather than height; a stretched seedling is a light problem, not a vigour signal. New to this? The free seeds on offer are a low-stakes way to practise the germination step.

Weeks 3 to 6. Growth stops being tentative. This is when training earns its keep: bend rather than cut if you are unsure, because a bent branch recovers in a day and a topped one costs a week. Expect fairly even growth in both directions.

The transition. There is no flip. Flowering starts on its own, which means any stunting from an over-eager early feed is now permanent.

Mid-flower. Bud sites fill and the aroma arrives — usually the point where extraction stops being optional. Feed heavier now, but watch the leaf rather than the schedule.

The last fortnight. Ease off nitrogen, drop the night temperature a little, and stop feeding before you think you should. Final height for this cultivar is published at Short.

Harvest. Published window: 50-60 days. Trichomes decide. Cut in sections if ripening is uneven — most plants ripen top-down and there is no prize for taking it all at once.

Reported effects cluster around focused, happy, uplifted. At 15% THC that is a meaningful figure rather than a decorative one, and the sensible approach with anything in this range is to start lower than you think and wait longer than feels necessary.

The 40/50 balance shapes where it lands: even-handed, with the dominant direction shifting by dose more than by time of day. Tolerance moves this more than any other variable, which is why two people describe the same jar differently.

Prefer something gentler? The CBD-forward strains range trades peak potency for balance.

Caryophyllene leads, myrcene sits behind it, and humulene runs underneath.

Temperature changes what you get. Vaporised low, around 180 to 188 degrees, myrcene and humulene come through cleanly while caryophyllene stays in the background. Combusted, caryophyllene dominates and the finer detail is largely lost. Same flower, two different experiences.

Green Queen is rated easy. That makes it a reasonable first grow — it survives inconsistent watering and imprecise feeding without collapsing, which is what a first season mostly consists of. Being an autoflower removes light-cycle management entirely, which suits balcony growers and anyone wanting a fast turnaround.

Shipped nationwide in plain packaging. Every strain page carries whatever grow data we could actually source, and nothing we could not.
