Top New Feminized Strains of 2021
Our feminized varieties offer a 99.9% chance of emerging as flower-bearing females. If you’re growing with the goal of thick and resinous flowers in mind, don’t miss out on these productive cultivars. They offer sky-high levels of THC and tantalising terpene profiles.
Royal Runtz
This flavourful variety holds the title as one of the most powerful strains in our entire seed catalogue. We were able to achieve this feat by breeding two legendary new-school strains from the United States: Gelato and Zkittlez. The result? Dense and sticky flowers bursting with 27% THC. Hold on to your hat and prepare yourself for an intense high and tastes of sweetness and fruit.
Wedding Crasher
Wedding Crasher descends from flavourful parent strains Wedding Cake and Purple Punch. This finely balanced hybrid features 55% sativa genetics and 45% indica. Her bulbous buds possess a unique terpene profile that conjures aromas of grape and vanilla. Enjoy in a vape or in edibles to make the most of these tasty phytochemicals. The terpenes work alongside a THC level of 21% to produce a happy and relaxing high.

Top New Autoflowering Strains of 2021
Autoflowering strains reach harvest faster than any other variety. They dart through the veg and bloom phases with little intervention required, making them ideal for beginner and advanced cultivators alike. Although they typically remain relatively small, new-school autos yield well and produce exceptional results. Explore our top new autoflowering cultivars for 2021 below.
Do-Si-Dos Automatic
Do-Si-Dos Automatic surges from a tiny seed into a fully mature plant in only 9–10 weeks. Looking for a quick and stealthy harvest? This is the strain to get the job done. Whether you have an entire room available or are working with a repurposed cupboard, she’ll gift you a dense canopy of potent flowers in no time. Her trichome-heavy buds possess a THC level of 20%, placing her above the majority of autos in regard to potency.
Sherbet Queen Automatic
Some smokers only want to get high. If you’re more of a connoisseur of flavour, however, you need to try Sherbet Queen Automatic. Her sweet notes of sugar and candy bombard the taste buds as a THC level of 20% courses through the bloodstream and lights up the endocannabinoid system. Expect rewarding yields after a brief growing cycle of 8–9 weeks, and enjoy her stoning, happy high thereafter.
Watermelon Automatic
You’ve never tasted an autoflowering strain this fruity. By crossing Tropicanna Cookies with Lemon OG, our breeders cooked up a strain that—once tasted—you’ll never want to go without. Her colourful flowers produce a THC level of 20%, medium quantities of CBD, and sugary terpenes. These phytochemicals converge to induce a tranquil and meditative high. Blaze these buds before morning walks and yoga sessions for instant zen.
Purple Punch Automatic
Purple Punch Automatic looks as good as she tastes. This visual spectacle produces dense, purple-green buds that quickly become the main point of attraction in any grow room or garden. These dazzling blossoms may look cute, but they hold a powerful secret. You’ll feel her body-slamming indica high after just a couple of tokes, made even more pleasant by medium levels of CBD. Enjoy her large yields and rapid growth.
Mimosa Automatic
This lively autoflowering strain serves up a stimulating high that energises the mind. A perfect wake-and-bake option, spark up a joint loaded with these flowers in the morning to boost your focus and motivation throughout the day. Brace yourself for a THC level of 21%—this descendant of Mimosa Auto and Orangeade Auto will blast your CB1 receptors with force. Expect moreish tastes of diesel and citrus with every hit.
Top New CBD Strains of 2021
Cannabidiol continues to explode in popularity, and our data suggests it will maintain the same trajectory throughout 2021. The two varieties below are set to be the biggest breakthroughs in our CBD collection. Not only do they contain an abundance of cannabidiol, but they also possess high concentrations of other, novel cannabinoids, which feature their own unique benefits.
Royal CBDV Automatic
This exciting new variety offers the highest level of CBDV in the Royal Queen Seeds archive. Otherwise known as cannabidivarin, CBDV provides soothing and clear-headed effects without any high. This strain offers 5% CBDV alongside 5% CBD, with only 0.3% THC. Vape these buds for mental clarity throughout the day, without losing your ability to function. She’ll grow well just about anywhere, but prefers a slightly cooler climate.
Royal CBG Automatic
CBG, or cannabigerol, holds the title of the “mother cannabinoid” and serves as the precursor to several cannabinoids within the plant. This molecule also produces a soothing and comforting effect without a psychotropic high. Experience a complex blend of 6–8% CBG, 0.09% THC, and high levels of CBD for peace of mind and increased focus. Enjoy strong tastes of vanilla with every inhale.
Top New Regular Strains of 2021
Our selection of regular strains behave just as nature intended. After sowing these seeds, you’ll face a 50% chance of them emerging as either male or female specimens. This coin-flip enables growers to raise both sexes, which comes in handy when looking to breed your own strains at home.
Away from breeding, regular strains boast extremely study genetics. They produce robust plants that are resilient against disease and adverse weather. Cuttings from these plants also produce strong and viable clones that enable growers to skip the germination process and create identical copies of high-performing plants.
Our top regular strains include legendary varieties such as White Widow, a strain that delivers a perfectly balanced high that targets the body and the mind. Skunk offers a similar state of equilibrium alongside huge yields of 675g/plant and tasty terps. Shining Silver Haze is an electrifying sativa option that motivates the mind and raises the spirits. The legendary Amnesia Haze offers similarly energising effects, powered by 22% THC, yet her high tapers off into a soothing body stone. Finally, Critical adds an intense stoning effect to our regular range and descends directly from Afghan and Skunk genetics.
