Life can get hectic sometimes. Bills, deadlines, and other responsibilities can leave us feeling frantic. So, what better way to lay your worries to rest for a moment than smoking up some of the most relaxing weed strains on the planet? Get to know the five most relaxing cannabis varieties below and decide which ones you want to grow.


ICE

This feminized indica-dominant hybrid descends from parent strains Afghan, Northern Light, and Skunk. Together, this trio of classic genetics passed down deeply stoning effects and excellent productivity. ICE gets off to a quick start right out of the gate. Sow seeds directly into their final pots or beds to allow seedlings to settle and avoid transplant shock. By the end of week one, you’ll have stout and sturdy seedlings ready to rock. As the vegetative phase continues, this strain quickly packs on luscious growth with broad fan leaves, and her canopy remains dense and compact. Make sure to apply enough nitrogen to facilitate this growth. During week four, your plant will have developed a substantial canopy with a multitude of bud sites; flip the light cycle indoors at this point to transition into bloom.

ICE grow stages

ICE exhibits a small amount of stretching during the early flowering phase as the first of her pistillate flowers begin to emerge. Her canopy benefits from light defoliation during this time to boost airflow. By the end of bloom, indoor plants will peak at 120cm, whereas their outdoor counterparts top out at 200cm. Apply a flush during the last two weeks to unleash her true flavor.

After drying and curing your buds, you’ll be treated to a complex and delightful terpene profile that offers notes of earth, mint, pepper, and pine. As these tastes wash across your tongue, you’ll experience the onset of her stoning high, fueled by a THC content of 18%. Get ready to settle into some serious relaxation.

Grape Ape

Grape Ape easily ranks as some of the best weed for relaxation. Why? Well, this indica-dominant hybrid inherited uber-soothing traits from Afghani, Mendocino Purps, and Skunk #1. To procure jars filled with these stoning buds, sow the seeds of this bushy cultivar directly into their final pots. Her rapid germination will leave you with 4cm-tall seedlings by the end of the first week of growth, adorned with their first set of true leaves. As the weeks of veg progress, her main stem will thicken and her canopy will become increasingly dense with broad fan leaves. By week eight, you’ll have yourself a flourishing plant sitting at around 40–50cm and ready to make the transition into bloom.

As Grape Ape stretches slightly and starts to put out her first buds, aim to maintain a relative humidity of around 40% as a preemptive action against fungal pathogens. Remove leaves where necessary to improve air and light penetration into the canopy. Aim to flush your plant during the final two weeks of bloom, and prepare to harvest up to 500g/m² from indoor plants after a total flowering time of 7–9 weeks, and up to 600g/plant from outdoor plants in early October.

With your harvest dried and cured, you're ready to experience untold levels of relaxation. Roll a fat one, sit back, and let her THC content of 20% and stoning terpenes carry you into moments of euphoria. Tastes of blueberry, candy, earth, and skunk add even more pleasure to the experience.

Watermelon

This trichome-covered indica-dominant strain will have you relaxed and forgetting about all of your worries in an instant. Watermelon descends directly from Watermelon OG S1 and has all of the THC and fruity terpenes to prove it. A high germination rate makes these seeds compatible with any germination technique. Just throw in some friendly microbes, such as mycorrhizal fungi, to further accelerate root system development. By the end of week two of veg, Watermelon will stand at around 7cm in height, equipped with a sturdy stem and several sets of true leaves. She’ll maintain a compact height throughout the entirety of the vegetative phase, rarely exceeding 30cm.

Watermelon grow stages

When the flowering phase swings around, expect plants to stretch to a height of 100cm. You’ll notice a strong aroma start to fill the air of your growing space as soon as the first pistillate flowers start to emerge. Towards the end of bloom, you’ll witness her colas become extremely dense and resinous. Prepare to harvest up to 500g/m² from indoor plants after a flowering period of 7–8 weeks, and 450–500g/plant from outdoor specimens in early October.

As all of the hard work comes to an end, you’ll enjoy the fruits of your labor in the form of a deeply relaxing high that melts every single muscle in the body. A THC content of 22% makes Watermelon a perfect strain for kicking back after a long day of work. Potent flavors of sweet watermelon are a massive bonus.

Royal Skywalker

Royal Skywalker will make you feel as though you’re reclining on a cloud. As the offspring of Blueberry and Mazar, this fruity and stoning hybrid will make your eyes red and put a smile on your face. Sow seeds directly into your substrate and watch them germinate with speed. Turn your indoor lights on as soon as you see sprouts emerge from the soil, or make sure you sow into a sunny position if growing outdoors. Feed and water well, and you’ll have a 4cm-tall seedling ready to burst into further growth at the end of week two. You’ll watch her pack on dense growth over the next few weeks as new fan leaves appear almost daily.

Watermelon grow stages

Make the switch to fertiliser higher in potassium and phosphorus as your plant transitions into flowering. Your Royal Skywalker specimen will stretch another 20–30cm during the blooming phase. Her buds start out dense, small, and stubby, but quickly grow longer and become inundated with trichomes by the end of the growing cycle. Have enough stash jars to handle up to 600g/m² and 500–600g/plant from indoor and outdoor plants, respectively, after 9–10 weeks of flowering or in mid-October outdoors.

According to many seasoned growers and smokers, Royal Skywalker deserves the title of the best strain for relaxing—it lands a heavy body blow with an impressive THC content of 25%. Make sure you have plenty of snacks to hand as your body sinks deeper into the couch. Flavors of blueberry, citrus, and pepper make this variety particularly moreish.

Defoliate as necessary throughout the vegetative phase and prepare to transition your plants to bloom at around week ten.

El Patron grow stages

It doesn’t take long for El Patron’s flowerless canopy to start churning out thick and sticky buds. You’ll experience a strong odour starting to permeate your growing space around week two of bloom. Defoliate lower leaves, as well as any higher up in the canopy obstructing light from reaching lower buds. During week 18, initiate a flush for tastier flowers post-harvest. If you cultivate this strain indoors, prepare to harvest and trim 450–550g/m² once week 21 comes around. For outdoor plants, expect up to 600g/plant at the end of the season.

With the growing over, it’s time to tuck into some relaxing weed. Roll up, smoke up, and enjoy strong savoury notes of herbs and pepper.

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.

This allows our website to function more quickly and remember aspects related to your previous visits (such as your username), making your experience more convenient.

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:
