Grown in a one gallon pot on a windowsill with satisfying results: Royal Queen Seeds “Royal Medic” strain. This plant is always a pleasure to grow. We topped the plant twice, resulting in four main buds, and she remained low maintenance and a fast grower.

Flowering started like clockwork after 8 weeks from germination, and we let the flowering grow until September nights grew cooler and the fan leaves began to fall on their own. Not only is this a sign that the plant has matured, it’s a great way to let the plant naturally flush itself of chlorophyll, which leads to a smoother smoke, if that’s your goal. Even if you plan on oil or alcohol, etc. extraction – let your plants fully mature; your returns will be much better.

One thing that I have also noticed is that pests simply do not gravitate towards this plant! This is not to say that they’ll turn it down, but with several other plants suffering from thrips, and one thick-budded hybrid losing a few buds to mold after a heavy rain, the RQS Royal Medic was the easiest of the bunch to care for. A recommended grow, to be sure!

Here are a couple of shots of the finished plant before harvesting:

Obviously, this post is coming in late December, and harvest was several months ago. So, what’s the word? How are the results? This RQS Royal Medic will come to the rescue if you’re suffering from aches and pains, to be sure. It is on the scale of head/body effects far more “body” than “head”. So if you don’t like a dopey “high” feeling, yet want the benefits of a high-CBD plant, the Royal Medic may be the right doc to call on. Keep in mind, we are NOT affiliated with RQS, but for an easy to grow medical strain, they get the “Panik Seal Of Approval”!

best regards

Small Victories in a Gloomy Election

Many followers of this blog, and news about the legal status of Marijuana throughout the USA, had two small victories to celebrate in the recent election day results: Massachusetts and Maine both legalized both medicinal and recreational Cannabis use!

Hoorah! Finally a step in the right direction. Big tobacco and alcohol concerns have free run to sell their (highly questionable) wares. Let’s finally end prohibition on a natural and perhaps even beneficial – instead of health damaging – gift of nature.

Nonetheless, the legal processes could use a dose of hemp oil to get the wheels rolling. For example:

I was rather surprised to see the legislation go through, knowing the conservative side of these states. And knowing this, I’m not surprised to see that towns and cities are unsure what to do. In many cases, this means sticking to your standard “suppliers” through this winter, and then waiting for good weather to get your grow on. For those who think they can’t grow on their own, well, read through this blog, and don’t forget to pick up our eBook – the reviews alone on iTunes/iBooks beat the big names in the “homegrowers” categories – those of you in Maine and Mass can get a start right away on supplying your own Marijuana. You’ll enjoy it with the good feeling that it hasn’t passed through shady channels on it’s way to you.
