Hey Mario,
As I wasn't able to send you a PM here due to you having less than 50 posts, I sent you an email instead, at original seed store where I bought them, no one responded to my email from 11 days ago.

Hey midsummer, my environment is a perfectly controlled one, I've produced plenty of fems from other varieties in that same environment, I've been growing since the mid 70's and have never seen anything like this before, in or out, not even vaguely. I would suspect it's more likely a bad batch of seeds, something whacky in the breeding, has to be, I've grown thousands of plants over many years, I know when the beans are likely to be at fault. I bought 4 packs of the regular Reina Madre late last year, direct from the source, this was the outcome.
As each one showed, I held bated breath that the next would surely have to be female, but down to the very last plant, NONE. I even allowed the plants to develop out a fair way because I wanted to be sure as I have seen weird flowers before that resembled neither the usual male nor female but these were all definitely dinky-dye males.

Hi Mario,
Thanks for the informative posts.
The listing on CBG's site indicates that Queen Mother takes 50-60 days to flower.
The card accompanying the seed pack shown a few pages back indicates that it takes 55-65 days to flower.
The description after the interview excerpt earlier in this thread says that it takes 70-90 days to finish.
The flowering time seems to be somewhere between 7 and 13 weeks. Syd Barrett's experience seems to verify the longer time range.
Could you please give me your best estimate of the flowering time for the excellent Queen Mother (as well as the other Original Delicatessen varieties offered by CBG)?
That information would enable making a better decision for my (indoor) environment.
Thanks for your help.
Best,
bopper

Im growing her majesty crosses this season
Her majesty x her majesty
Her majesty x mextiza
Her majest x Vietnam Black Thai
And I'm trying to isolate the Mexican phenotypes
Is her majesty a F1 of queen mother and First Lady or is it further bred?
Any tips on typical Mexican aromas?
There's a certain (mexican) spiciness, bit musky and astringent aroma which I associate with Mexican strains
Does the fruity, mainly mango aroma come from the queen mother?
Which fruity aromas can be found in First Lady?
Thanks, have a nice sunny day

Hi billyblog, it's easy to say "a bad batch of seeds, something whacky in the breeding" but if you are an experienced grower you should know that is impossible to make all male seeds, even reverting a male plant you still get both sexes and what you are saying is just genetically impossible.
Perhaps you should consider environmental factors and not put it down to the seeds. Can you let me know please where you bought them, the name of the variety and how many per packet?
All the best

Here is the listing for Her Majesty from CBG's website 48N:
"HER MAJESTY
Bank: Original Delicatessen
Regular seeds
Genetics: Queen Mother x Mexico
Yield: High
Flowering: 60-65 days
Her Majesty: F1
Large, robust plant with the combined strength of its parents with an abundant yield while melting aromas to create a unique bouquet. One of the most valued varieties by cannabis gourmets."
It is stated to be an F1, so what you're asking is if the Mexican in the cross is First Lady. That seems likely, but I haven't been able to find any info. Mario must know. Perhaps he will answer that question the next time he visits this thread.
BTW the Original Delicatessen lineup is quite interesting, but the discrepancies in listed flowering times might give one pause.

Koondense how's it going? How is the stretch?
Hey 48N,
the stretch is quite serious and expected. Her Majesty is very vigorous which shows a lot in this stretching phase. Nothing uncontrollable if expected, but she has some legs
An early flowering top
An observation I found interesting was her taste.
I always taste the tops I take off the plants at topping or other pruning, I also taste leaves.
This plant was the first to have zero sharpness or pungency in taste. Most other plants tend to have a more aggressive taste which can be somehow hot at times(almost like hot peppers) but Her Majesty has this sweet and fresh taste I never found in any other plant I tried.
So not sure what to expect but I can tell I like this plant a lot already.
Cheers

Also sugary, a bit musky? Or more sour?
It's very interesting how fast the smells develop in mid flowering.
Today I did some resin smelling testing on all my plants and there's definitely some musky smell in Her Majesty, the lemony part is almost unnoticable now. There's still some in the background but other nuances are developing fast right now.
Pangi is by comparison a lemon blast which blows away every other plant in the lemon department. Others don't come close.
Fast development of Her Majesty
Looking a bit pale from the start but healthy and very vigorous.
More details to come in the near future.
Cheers

this year greenhouse with 4lilly seeds. every seed is a bit different. Im at 50N in greenhouse and for the outdoor its harder to find some good sativa...at middle august there wasnt any sign of flowering but there is one pheno that can be done here finally...
three of four seeds have pure sativa look and behaviour : ))
they have just some basic universal soil with hydroton and bone meal. almost no need to fertilize. they dont need it.
but when noticed beginning of flowering, I started to use Advanced nutrients bud gnitor 3ml/l three times @ ec 1,1
... and next days will use connoiseur bloom a/b and big bud. have also overdrive and for flush flawless finish and proven aptus humic blast which made my buds really much sweeter at end
pheno one as favorite have wider leaves, very good structure and have some buds already

pheno1 have already some piney fruity smell. she doesnt liked more nutrients in grow phase also. i can just recommend go for fatter leaves if you are north
pheno2 is second favorite, maybe zamal dominant (reminds me thai). need less soil and grows very fast. good for SOG
seed3 have sexy thin leaves
and the last pheno4 is very tall and seems wildest

Wow GreenJohny your greenhouse looks amazing, best of luck in flowering and keep us updated!
Here's the progress of my Her Majesty, her smell is intensifying but still remains somehow stealthy until you touch the resin. Lemon, grass, musk, hash and some floral aromas are prevalent so far, a very nice development. Buds are qite firm but I don't expect more than a medium yield, hopefully of fine ganja with great effect.
But let's not jump in the future, here's a slice of the present moment.
