Anyone in Europe with interest in growing cannabis must have come across the name ‘Royal Queen Seeds’ at least one, if not multiple, times. Royal Queen Seeds has made a global name as a reliable seed bank and resource with anything cannabis seed-related.

Here is everything you need to know about them.

How did it all start?

Royal Queen Seeds started about 20 years ago in the Netherlands as a passion project between a group of experienced cannabis breeders. The company was established as a seed bank in 2007. This is not widespread knowledge, but before the company started selling its strains, it sold other breeders’ seeds. However, as the company grew, it began breeding its strains and constantly developing more varieties of cannabis.

In 2010, they opened their first physical store in Damstraat, Amsterdam. 2011 saw them launch their website, known for its simplicity and navigation ease. By 2015, increased demand led them to open up another store in the Haarlemmerstraat region of Amsterdam. A year later, they went international to open up another location in Barcelona, Spain.

Currently, this company operates in about 17 different locations in Europe, delivers cannabis seeds and products in Europe, and has over 80+ unique strains to its name. Over 10 of their strains have won Cannabis Cups, and they are not stopping soon.

What is Royal Queen Seeds’ focus?
The company watchword is relatively simple. “Keep on Growing.” They are not just offering quality seeds to cannabis lovers and growers. Their company is also very focused on letting their patrons know that “...if you have the passion, you can grow quality genetics.”

Royal Queen Seeds has an innovative take on cannabis seed breeding and development. They are always aiming at developing better, more unique strains for the delight of their international consumers. They are all about cannabis and the many ways it can make a difference and bring satisfaction to people’s lives.

The company doesn't just make a large variety of cannabis seeds available; it is also focused on knowledge sharing. Their website blog is full of informative and clarifying posts beneficial to cannabis growers of all levels. Whether you live near the Arctic Circle or the Equator, their staff will be happy to suggest personalised techniques to help you maximise the performance of your seeds and strains.

What are they known for?
Every company has its mission, but that may not be what it is known for. But with Royal Queen Seeds, what you see is what you get.

They have a reputation as a reliable seed bank. They do not claim to sell premium, luxury strains, but they promise seeds that will grow and yield great plants with minimal effort. That is more than many other online seed banks can promise.

Seeds engineered by this company are trendy in the cannabis industry and have won multiple awards. They have produced bestseller strains such as:

● Special Queen 1,
● Royal AK Automatic,
● White Widow,
● Royal Dwarf,
● Amnesia Haze,
● Amnesia Haze Automatic,
● Northern Light,
● Quick One,
● Special Kush 1, and so many more.

Royal Queen Seed also engineer auto-flowering and feminised seeds that are always in high demand globally. Auto-flowering seeds are cannabis seeds that produce flowers on their own after 2-4 weeks of growth. They don't require as much care as other seeds as they have been genetically engineered to flower automatically based on their age and not on light exposure.

On the other hand, feminine seeds would flower depending on light exposure. However, they are highly sought after because 99.9% of them grow into female plants. Female plants are popular because they produce cannabis buds rich in cannabinoids such as THC, CBG, CBD and CBC.

Conclusion
Royal Queen Seeds weren't just lucky to become a global name in the cannabis seed industry. They earned that name and recognition after years of dedicated research, quality breeding and innovation that has produced unique and reliable cannabis seed strains.

Seeds developed by this company are certified to be 100% organic and engineered to offer the best genetics to consumers. With an almost perfect seed germination rate and a wide variety of unique strains, seeds bred by Royal Queen Seeds are one of the most reliable in the industry.
