Appearance and Structure
Austrian Queen plants typically reach a medium height, around 90-150 cm indoors when managed with topping and training, and can grow to 1.8-2.4 m outdoors in suitable climates. The internodal spacing is moderate, allowing for good light penetration. Buds are characterized by their density and conical shape, featuring a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The bracts display shades of green, often complemented by orange or amber pistils, and are covered in a frosty layer of trichomes.
Fan leaves typically have 7-9 blades with medium width, contributing to a symmetrical canopy when trained. The stems are sturdy, supporting the development of dense flowers. The calyx-forward bud structure simplifies the trimming process.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma profile of Austrian Queen is described as layered, with initial sweet herbal notes, reminiscent of fresh basil and mint, layered over a subtle citrus scent. This is supported by an underlying spicy, woody character.
Flavors reported by users often mirror the aroma, with notes of citrus, honey, and mint, complemented by earthy and herbal undertones. The overall sensory experience is often characterized as complex and refined.
