Royal Queen Seeds: Two Decades of Experience

Royal Queen Seeds began in the Netherlands selling other breeders’ creations, but now, after over 20 years, they exclusively focus on their own strains so that they can guarantee the consistent quality of everything they offer. RQS seedbank doesn’t just say they breed the best marijuana in the world – they put this claim to the test in major Cannabis Cups, measuring themselves against tough competitors and still scoring rewards. Now, over a dozen strains in their catalog boast a ‘cup’ icon.

RQS has really upped the cannabis game with a range of top-notch autoflowering and feminized seeds in their collection. From classic award-winning Indica and Sativa favorites like Northern Light, White Widow, OG Kush, Skunk #1, and Shining Silver Haze, to newer strains like Runtz, Gelato, and Gorilla, they've got it all. Plus, don't forget about their CBD varieties and game-changing F1 hybrid cannabis seeds introduced to the market in 2023. Every seed is meticulously chosen from organic plants and subjected to thorough testing to adhere to high-quality standards and top germination rates.

RQS Highlife Triumphs

Today’s cannabis market is a serious business, so any brash newcomer faces fierce competition from established champions. This didn’t prevent RQS from an unbelievable double victory at Highlife 2018. Their Royal Gorilla impressed the judges so much with its powerful combination of 27% THC and delicious flavors that it was named Strain Of The Year, while their Royal Cookies won first prize as Best Indica.

This wasn’t the first time Highlife applauded Royal Queen Seeds’ masterpieces. The company took home trophies in 2013 and 2014 as well, and all but dominated the medical category in 2015 with Euphoria (first place) and Medical Mass (third place).

Absolute Top RQS Strains Our Customers Rave About

Choosing the top strains from the fantastic lineup at RQS is like trying to pick your favorite child – nearly impossible! However, we've managed to narrow it down to our top-selling seeds that cater to both newbies and seasoned cannabis enthusiasts alike.

This bad girl doesn't just meet expectations – she blows them out of the water by delivering a whopping 550g/m² of top-notch buds in just 8-9 weeks.

HulkBerry

HulkBerry, the one-of-a-kind Sativa-dominant beauty, was born from a wild crossbreeding experiment by Royal Queen Seeds. The name isn’t just a nod to its powerful parent strains – OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel – but also to its massive, dense buds and delicious berry scent. And before you ask, no, HulkBerry isn’t just Bruce Banner in disguise. While they may have some things in common, like their parent strains and some qualities, each has its own highly distinct personality.

Royal Cookies Automatic

The Royal Cookies Automatic strain, a hybrid created by crossing Girl Scout Cookies with a resilient Ruderalis clone, is something truly special. If you have a discerning taste for top-notch buds, look no further – this strain is for you. The Cookie craze that took the cannabis world by storm? Yeah, there's a good reason for that – it's all about that incredible potency and flavor. Royal Cookies Automatic combines all the best qualities of award-winning strains and knocks anyone who tries her out with an astonishing high. This autoflower is like a warm hug, with a delicious scent of freshly baked goods and a flavor reminiscent of cookie dough.

Constant Growth and Focus on Quality

Besides selling online, RQS has cannabis seed stores in Amsterdam and Barcelona, and they've now even expanded their reach all the way into Thailand. Lax laws in Spain, where RQS headquarters are now located, allow the company to expand its business to new areas, but they never lose focus on the main ingredient of their success: the marijuana seeds themselves. The company is constantly working on improving their strains and creating new genetic combinations while also ensuring the top quality of their main stock. All their seeds are organically grown, hand-picked, and regularly batch-tested.

Royal Queen Seeds’ Packaging Is Eye Candy in Itself

With their beautiful designs and bright colors, the cardboard packets of Royal Queen Seeds cannabis seeds ensure that customers have a great experience from the moment they open their mail. Of course, each and every seed is separately sealed in a blister, allowing growers to take and sprout just one of them while the rest are safely guarded from humidity, retaining their freshness for future grows.
