Royal Dwarf Strain Information

With its moderate levels of THC, Royal Dwarf offers a clear-headed high that makes it the perfect strain to enjoy in the daytime. On top of that, Royal Dwarf is very compact, grows super fast, and provides a rewarding yield. Our breeders created this small and speedy strain by crossing the legendary Skunk with a high-performing ruderalis variety. As an autoflowering version of Skunk, she inherited the very best traits from this timeless strain but provides a harvest in a fraction of the time. As the progeny of landrace varieties Afghan, Acapulco Gold, and Colombian, Skunk itself boasts a euphoric high alongside pungent flavors and aromas. Royal Dwarf inherited all of these delightful qualities as well as some unique characteristics that set her apart.

Royal Dwarf Autoflower Characteristics

As her name suggests, Royal Dwarf scales everything down, from her stature to her THC content. While some contemporary cannabis users have a preference for super-high THC levels, others enjoy less intense psychoactive experiences. Thankfully, that’s exactly what Royal Dwarf has to offer with its THC content of 13%. Upon smoking its buds, you'll feel suitably elevated yet functional enough to carry on with various tasks. Meanwhile, high concentrations of various terpenes add a relaxing element to the experience, while volatile sulphur compounds provide notes of skunk with every hit.

Whether you’re low on space or want to keep your growing operation as stealthy as possible, Royal Dwarf Autoflower has you covered. Indoors, this strain grows to just 70 cm when left untrained. However, apply LST during the third week of veg, and she won’t grow past 40 cm for the rest of the growing cycle. Outdoors, plants reach 90 cm untrained and just 50 cm when subject to a range of training techniques. Prepare to pull in up to 200 g/m² indoors and 80 g/plant outdoors after a total growing cycle of 9–10 weeks.

Royal Dwarf Autoflower Characteristics
  • Royal Dwarf Auto Flavor and Aroma

The Royal Dwarf cannabis strain serves up a platter of diverse phytochemicals that underpin her rich and complex taste. While many modern cultivars offer a sweet experience, this variety offers a more savoury—yet equally delicious—flavor. It might surprise you to hear this, but terpenes aren’t responsible for the bulk of Royal Dwarf Autoflower’s flavors and aromas. Instead, volatile sulphur compounds (VOCs) play a more central role. Inherited directly from the Skunk strain, these aromatic molecules emit strong notes of skunk, garlic, and gas. However, terpenes including myrcene and beta-caryophyllene provide additional hints of earth, musk, and pepper.

  • Royal Dwarf Autoflower Effects

When it comes to the effects of the Royal Dwarf strain, you can expect a mellow, functional, and easygoing experience. Her THC level of 13% steers the high in an inspiring and motivating direction, even in relatively large doses. Initially, you’ll experience a clear-headed and creative effect that’s perfect for social or artistic pursuits. The high stays at this altitude for a while, before tapering off into a warm afterglow that’ll leave you feeling soothed and satisfied.

Growing Royal Dwarf

Now that you’re familiar with the genetic background, flavor and aroma, and effects of Royal Dwarf, next up you’re going to discover what you can expect when growing this cultivar.

  • Germinating Royal Dwarf Autoflower Seeds

Equipped with high-quality Skunk genetics, Royal Dwarf seeds boast a high germination rate. You don’t need to take any fancy additional steps when popping these seeds. Simply sow them directly into an 11 l containers filled with a high-quality potting mix enriched with organic matter and some perlite for increased drainage. It’s not mandatory, but adding a pinch of mycorrhizal fungi powder before covering your seeds will inoculate the taproots once they emerge, resulting in improved nutrient uptake and defense against fungal pathogens during this vulnerable stage. Keep your grow lights running for 24 hours per day to prevent leggy stems, and your seedlings will reach a height of 4 cm by the end of the first week. Onward to veg!

Royal Dwarf Germination
  • Vegetative Phase

During the vegetative phase, you can expect your Royal Dwarf plants to start producing plenty of luscious fan leaves, all while remaining compact and stealthy. You can either continue running your lights for 24 hours per day to push development to the max, or switch over to 18 hours per day to reduce your electricity costs. Expect your plants to grow to around 10 cm by the end of week two. Apply training during week three if you’re after more compact plants, and move any plants outside at this point if you want to finish them off under the sun!

Your plants will stand at 30–60 cm at the end of the vegetative phase, depending on the training techniques used and the pot size you opted for. At this point, they’ll have started developing pre-flowers at each node.

Royal Dwarf Vegetative Phase
  • Flowering Phase & Harvest

Bloom has arrived! Your Royal Dwarf Autoflower plants will stretch during this time as phytohormone levels change. Expect them to peak at anywhere between 40–90 cm depending on prior training and container size. Over the course of bloom, their flowers will bulge, amassing orange pistils and a heavy sheen of milky-white trichomes. Flush the growing medium during the final two weeks of the growing cycle to force your plants to use up any stored nutrients, potentially resulting in a smoother smoke or vape. After a flowering phase of 6–7 weeks, it’s time to harvest the fruits of your labor!

Cut your plants at the base of the stem just above the soil. Next, hang them upside down in your grow room. Turn off the lights to prevent the active constituents from degrading, and keep a fan running to prevent stagnant air. After 7–10 days, the plants will have dried out nicely. Next, trim your flowers before placing them into curing jars for 4–8 weeks.

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.

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:
