As far as Royal Queen Seeds products go, Royal Critical is quite possibly the most bang for your buck we offer. By crossing an Afghani strain and a Skunk variety, we've created a potent indica-dominant cash crop that is great for any large-scale grower.

THE CREATION OF CRITICAL CANNABIS STRAINS

Gram for gram, Critical is one of the top-yielding strains of all time―a trait owed to its Skunk #1 and Afghani heritage. Also going by the title of Critical Mass, when you see it in full bloom, it’s not hard to see why growers the world over use Critical as a cash crop. Its genetics are not only the basis for its industry-leading performance, but have been used to create countless hybrids, all hoping to replicate the efficacy of the Critical bloodline.

Critical is an indica-dominant strain (60%), inheriting a short flowering period and an unassuming stature (80–140cm). The strain is famously easy to grow, produces a pleasant, relaxing high, and yields large enough to make your eyes water with anticipation. By selecting the best phenotypes, Critical’s original creators have guaranteed that it will be a mainstay in any grower’s arsenal for years to come.

Now, thanks to the breeding prowess of RQS, the tried and tested Critical genetics have been refined even further with Royal Critical. Retaining all of the attributes Critical strains are revered for, she is so simple to grow that all that stands between you and over 600 grams per plant is the “add to basket” button.

ROYAL CRITICAL: TASTE AND AROMA

Such bountiful yields would be worthless without an equally impressive flavour and aroma―thankfully, Royal Critical delivers on both fronts. As Royal Critical takes shape, the first thing that hits you is her aroma. Earthy and pungent, with a hint of citrus, her scent quickly fills an indoor grow room, teasing at the motherload of buds you can expect during the flowering stage.

Once harvested and cured, the earthy flavours remain, but piney undertones and a touch of sweetness linger with every toke. The Afghani heritage shines through in Royal Critical’s taste, delivering a classic but never underwhelming experience. Cannabis connoisseur or complete newbie, the flavour perfectly encapsulates the phrase “dank weed”―you won't be disappointed.

GROWING ATTRIBUTES OF ROYAL CRITICAL

Our feminized Royal Critical seeds come prepared to flower quicker than most other varieties. With only 7–8 weeks of bloom, these plants have a much faster turnover than other cash crops. This makes them more efficient for growers in climates typically attuned to growth, such as California, Italy, and Spain. It also, however, opens up the possibility for growth in more northern climates, as plants can be harvested earlier in the year—before the cold and rainy seasons set in for many regions.

Thanks to short internodes that become abundantly filled with buds as growth continues, these plants produce generous amounts of product each season. As far as yield goes, you'll be hard pressed to find a crop that brings in more volume in 7 weeks than this specimen. Grown outdoors, each plant can reach a height of 220cm and produce up to 650g/plant.

The plants also do quite well indoors when grown under the right conditions. With a 600W lamp, plants can easily grow to 140cm and yield upwards of 550–600g/m². Because of the genetic cross we've created with our Skunk, these plants are sturdy enough to go through some weathering outside, and resilient enough to adapt to indoor growth, while still producing ample harvests in both settings.

ROYAL CRITICAL AUTOMATIC STRAIN

After falling in love with Royal Critical genetics, our breeders couldn’t pass up the opportunity to create an autoflowering version of the strain. By crossing her with a prime ruderalis specimen, they took her best traits and made her much easier to grow and faster to flower.

Following several generations of breeding, stabilisation, and perfecting these genetics, Royal Critical Automatic emerged with a genetic profile that's 50% indica, 15% sativa, and 35% ruderalis. After sampling her flowers, effects, and complex terpene profile, RQS breeders released her to the world.

Royal Critical Automatic produces relatively large and tapered flowers that display brilliant white trichomes and deep red orange against a dark green canvas. This hardy strain grows comfortably in a wide range of environments but will perform best in a mild climate.

Indoor plants grow to a small and easily manageable height of 55-65cm. Such a small stature makes them ideal for cultivating in small boxes, buckets, and cupboards. Cultivators looking to maintain privacy throughout the grow cycle will feel confident with such tamed plants. Use smaller pots and low-stress training to keep her at the lower end of the height spectrum.

Her resinous flowers produce THC levels of 14% and a sweet and spicy terpene profile. Expect a mellow and stoning high that primarily targets the body and melts the muscles. Her relaxing effects are ideal for the evenings, especially when you don’t feel like getting too blasted.

ROYAL CRITICAL'S EFFECTS

We wouldn't want to leave those using Royal Critical disappointed, so we've ensured that the stoned effect in our buds is a strong one. It manifests itself both physically and mentally, and with an 18% THC content, it packs a lot of power in every puff. As the stoned effect fades, users are left feeling mellow and relaxed―the perfect sensation for those who’ve had a tough day of manual labour or navigating office politics.

Royal Critical also makes the perfect companion for those who want to use her medicinally. The high won’t leave you locked to the couch, but it will soothe aches and pains. Dating back centuries as a remedy and treatment for countless ailments, medical marijuana continues to grow today as an increasingly viable option for the treatment of several illnesses and conditions.

With such huge quantities of high-quality buds produced, Royal Critical is a perfect option for any large-scale grower with a penchant for abundance!

Cookies are small information files that notify your computer of previous interactions with our website. These cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our website.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
