Special Queen 1 Feminized Seeds – Royal Queen Seeds · High-Yielding Indica Hybrid for Easy Growing

Special Queen 1 feminized seeds from Royal Queen Seeds give you a high-yielding, resilient, and fast-finishing hybrid that delivers a powerful body buzz with a touch of cerebral clarity—perfect for stress relief and evening relaxation without locking you to the couch.

Are you tired of finicky strains that demand perfection?

Most hybrids either grow too slow, yield too little, or fall apart under stress. You want a plant that actually survives real-world conditions—spotty light, humidity spikes, or a missed feeding—without crashing your entire grow.

Imagine your grow space filling up with dense, resin-coated colas in under 8 weeks

Now picture those buds smelling like vintage skunk and hitting with a smooth, balanced punch that melts tension but keeps you present. That’s what happens when you stop gambling on unstable genetics and start growing Special Queen 1.

Special Queen 1: The no-drama powerhouse that outperforms its price

This Royal Queen Seeds staple is a 50% indica / 50% sativa hybrid bred from Power Bud and Skunk, delivering massive yields of up to 650 g/m² indoors and over 500 g per plant outdoors. With a flowering time of just 55–60 days, it’s fast, forgiving, and built to thrive—even in cooler northern climates. Whether you're growing in soil or hydro, under LED or HPS, Special Queen 1 adapts and rewards.

Before growing with Special Queen 1

Without this strain, your setup might be stuck with slow, low-yielding plants that need constant babysitting. You're spending more time troubleshooting than enjoying results. Special Queen 1 changes that by simplifying the entire process—from germination to harvest.

• Start with a stable, feminized seed from a trusted breeder
• Use pots of 11–20 L depending on space and desired height
• Choose well-aerated soil or coco for best root development
• Set up 18/6 light cycle for photoperiod growth
• Ensure pH between 6.0–6.5 (soil) or 5.8–6.2 (coco)

During cultivation: where the magic happens

Once you flip to flowering, Special Queen 1 stretches moderately and begins forming thick, overlapping colas. Indoors, keep temperatures between 20–25 °C and humidity at 40–50% to prevent mold. The plant responds well to LST and SCROG, letting you maximize light exposure and yield. Outdoors, it thrives in warm, sunny climates but shows surprising resilience in the UK or Netherlands. For a hassle-free start, X-Seed organic vegan seed germinator | BAC speeds up rooting and reduces transplant stress. In sustained growth, BN-Roots - Biomineral root system enhancer - Bio Nova keeps leaves green and structure compact.

After harvest: dense, potent, and full of flavor

After just 8–9 weeks of flowering, you’ll see massive yields of dense, trichome-rich buds with a pungent skunk and earthy hash aroma. The effect is balanced—physically relaxing yet mentally clear—ideal for unwinding after work or enhancing social moments. Minimal trimming is needed thanks to its excellent flower-to-leaf ratio. At the end of flowering, Final Part helps with density and a cleaner taste.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown Special Queen 1 three times now—once in a 60x60 cm tent under 250W HPS, once in a greenhouse, and once outdoors in northern Spain. Every time, it’s been a standout. The first grow, I topped at 15 cm and used SCROG—ended up with 580 g/m² of dense, sticky buds. The flavor was insane: old-school skunk with a sweet berry twist. I didn’t use any bloom boosters that time, just basic nutrients, and still got rock-hard colas. Outdoors, it handled a late summer storm like a champ—only lost two small buds to mold. My only tip? Don’t overfeed. I pushed nutrients once and got slight tip burn, but the plant recovered fast. It’s that tough. I keep coming back to this strain because it’s predictable, productive, and tastes like cannabis should—earthy, bold, and unforgettable.
