By Luke Sholl


What a year 2024 has been so far! Straight out of the gate, we launched ten new strains, including Cherry Pie, Grape Ape Auto, and Pink Runtz Auto. Each pays homage to & the stellar reputation of US genetics, giving growers access to the same intense flavors and fantastic yields our friends across the pond are accustomed to. However, those new additions were just the beginning, as several months later, we announced our exclusive partnership with Tyson 2.0.

Founded by arguably one of the greatest boxers ever, Tyson 2.0 is Mike Tyson's message to the world. His love for cannabis has helped him through thick and thin, and now, RQS is collaborating with the heavyweight champion to create a new line of champion genetics. Perfect for growing at home, the range includes six one-of-a-kind strains, including Dynamite Diesel, GOAT'lato Auto, and Punch Pie.

Most seed banks would be content with the developments listed above, but at RQS, we like to keep pushing the envelope—all in the name of growing higher. So, we've gone and developed thirteen more new strains, hot off the presses for July. Get acquainted with them below!

1. Tangie

Leading the charge is the offspring of California Orange and Skunk #1, the incredibly flavorsome and fruity Tangie. It takes little time for Tangie seedlings to emerge, whether you germinate with a starter kit or directly in their final pots. Plants may appear slow-going during the vegetative stage, but maintain a steady approach, as this strain is the epitome of “good things come to those who wait”.

Plants naturally become wide and compact (rarely reaching more than 120 cm). Still, with plenty of pruning, flowering will eventually reward growers with up to 550 g/m² indoors and 700 g/plant outdoors. Of course, with 20% THC and uplifting effects, the longer flowering period will be worth the wait!

2. Strawberry Cough

Despite its name, this strain goes down smoother with every hit. Strawberry Cough is the progeny of Strawberry Fields and Haze, and as you might have already guessed, she boasts flavors of candy and fruit alongside a soothing and motivating high. That said, to experience her effects, you need to get growing first!

Again, germination is a cinch, and plants will waste no time reaching towards your grow light. In fact, the vegetative phase is a hive of activity, with indoor cultivars reaching up to 150 cm while outdoor specimens can exceed 2 m! Don't worry, though, wrestling with this sativa-dominant behemoth will reward you up to 500 g/m² indoors and a whopping 650 g/plant outside.

3. Larry OG

Equally balanced, Larry OG is a 50/50 hybrid with a need for speed. She only needs 8–10 weeks to finish flowering, making her a speedy photoperiod plant that doesn't sacrifice yield, potency, or flavor to get the job done. However, beginner growers should keep a close eye on seedlings, as it won't take long for those first few branches to start reaching outwards.

Vegging plants maintain a wide, compact structure, but without low-stress training or ScrOG, bud sites might not get the light exposure they need. As plants enter flowering, keeping this offspring of OG Kush and SFV OG Kush well-controlled will pay dividends come harvest. Fresh, earthy flavors, a physically relaxing high, and up to 22% THC await.

4. Alien OG

If you love compact plants that flower quickly, then Alien OG is the girl for you. In fact, she's well-suited to climates with short summers or indoor growers tight on time. With Alien Kush and Tahoe OG Kush genetics running through its veins, you can expect a straightforward experience and a physically relaxing influence.

Seedlings will happily sprout in RQS soil plugs, stone wool blocks, or even a glass of water. Resistant and robust, Alien OG plants progress through the veg stage with little maintenance, entering the flowering phase with a spring in their step and an abundance of pine and citrus aromas. A final flush before harvesting ensures peak THC levels (up to 25%) and flavors that mimic her scent.

5. Tropicana Cookies Purple

Both parents of Tropicana Cookies Purple are legends of the US cannabis scene, and we're pleased to report that their offspring follows suit. Despite leaning slightly towards her sativa heritage, she still flowers quickly, promising large yields after 8–10 weeks indoors or in early October for outdoor cultivators. Fortunately, that fast turnaround time doesn't compromise potency (up to 22% THC) or flavor.

The vegging period remains simple, as this strain likes to stay tight and compact, favouring lateral growth over vertical. However, when plants enter flowering, it helps to add a Bio-Flowering Booster to your feeding regime. Not only does this help to accentuate the candy and blueberry flavors, but it maximises the plant's output.

6. Pink Mist

Feel a mist of uplifting euphoria and sweet blueberry and candy flavors wash over you as you take Pink Mist to harvest after 9–10 weeks of flowering. This intensely sweet sativa-dominant strain is ideal for growers who like to take their time, fine-tuning their feeding regime and pushing yield potential and potency (20% THC) to the limit.

Thanks to the influence of Purple Thai and Black Haze, outdoor plants grow loud and proud, reaching nearly two metres tall in ideal conditions. Indoors, plants reach half that height, but there's a sudden surge during the transition to flowering that you'll need to be ready for. Don't worry, though; some simple LST will quickly get plants back under control.

7. Lemon Skunk

Bursting with citrusy dominance, Lemon Skunk is the perfect blend of old-school funk and sugary terps. And it's not just the flavors that are delicately balanced either, as this 50/50 hybrid is equal parts Skunk #1 and Citral. That sense of balance continues throughout germination, the vegetative phase, and flowering, as plants stay tight and compact, even without training.

However, if you want to push plants to their limit, consider some Easy Grow Booster Tablets during the vegetative stage, and you can expect specimens to reach roughly 120 cm indoors and 150 cm outside. Flowering will fly by in 8–9 weeks, after which you'll have a bucket load of frosty buds bursting with that iconic citrus, fruit, lime, and skunk flavor.

8. Forbidden Fruit

Don't worry—you don't need permission to grow Forbidden Fruit. You just need a climate with short summers or a spare 8–10 weeks for indoor plants to finish flowering. The strain's indica heritage rings true, with a high that's both physically relaxing and mentally soothing—ideal for those quiet introspective evenings.

It's during those quiet moments that you can reflect on the growing experience. Beginners will have no problems germinating using an RQS Geotextile Fabric Pot and some Cannabis Seed Booster, while the vegetative phase benefits greatly from Bio-Grow Fertiliser. However, don't rush drying and curing, as this is when the strain’s potency (24% THC) and earthy, fruity flavors come to the fore.

9. Pink Gorilla

A force to be reckoned with, Pink Gorilla is the indica-dominant offspring of Gorilla Glue #4 and Pink 2.0. Thanks to the masterful breeders at RQS, this fast-flowering cultivar maintains a short stature and delivers impressive yields indoors (450–500 g/m²) and out (450–500 g/plant).

While potency tops out at 20% THC, that's more than enough to please regular tokers with its uplifting, euphoric high. For growers looking to maximise potency, stick to what you know during germination and the vegetative phase. However, in the final week of flowering, consider flushing alongside 48 hours of total darkness to really push cannabinoid and terpene development.

10. Purple Lemonade Auto

If you like to sit back and relax as seeds calmly progress into flower-bearing plants, then Purple Lemonade Auto—the offspring of Purple Haze, Lemon Skunk, and Sweet Skunk Autois the perfect choice.

Being an auto, it's highly recommended to germinate in the plant's final pot, as you'll want to minimise stress during the strain's 10–12-week life cycle. Your patience will pay off, though, as indoor examples promise up to 475 g/m² and citrusy buds, while outdoor plants can produce up to 180 g/plant (as long as you add a touch of natural fertiliser to the soil during the veg phase).

11. Tropicana Cookies Purple Auto

Remember when we said Tropicana Cookies Purple had legendary parents? Well, we've taken the genetic mix one step further with a touch of ruderalis. And the result? A relaxed growing experience that boasts citrus and pineapple flavors, a harvest time of 12 weeks from germination, and up to 20% THC.

Another attractive characteristic is that despite being an auto, plants love to stretch almost as soon as they enter the veg phase. Come flowering, many examples reach 100 cm indoors and 150 cm outside. That growth is easily managed with some LST, though, and even if you're a beginner, gently tying down the branches early will make harvesting much easier later on.

12. Pink Mist Auto

What Pink Mist Auto sacrifices in potency (up to 17% THC), it makes up for with its straightforward growth cycle and euphoric, uplifting high. There's also an abundance of blueberry and lavender flavors to enjoy. We weren't joking when we said cultivation was simple.

Provided you germinate plants in their final pots, seedlings will quickly thicken their main stem, progressing through the veg and early flowering stages with little fuss. Although this auto will flower automatically, you can still add the Easy Combo Booster to ensure all your plant's nutritional needs are covered. Simply dissolve the tablets as instructed and water as normal.

13. Special Queen 1 Auto

If you need up to 450 g/m² of skunky, earthy buds in as little as six weeks of flowering, then you've come to the right place. Special Queen 1 Auto isn't just one of our fastest-flowering autoflowers; it's one of our fastest-growing strains, full stop. Thanks to the influence of Power Bud and Big Skunk Auto Genetics, growers can expect plants to reach fruition 10–12 weeks after germination.

The usual cultivation rules apply, but given how quickly this strain moves from the veg stage to flowering, you'll definitely want to germinate seeds in their final pots. You can further simplify the cultivation experience by opting for Easy Boost Organic Nutrition, a complete feeding solution that conveniently lasts 10–12 weeks.

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:
