El Patron Feminized Seeds – Royal Queen Seeds · Award-Winning Hybrid with 22% THC

El Patron feminized seeds by Royal Queen Seeds deliver a powerful, balanced hybrid with 22% THC, robust growth, and a complex citrus-kush aroma that won first place at the Highlife Cup.

Are you tired of strains that promise big effects but fall flat in flavor or yield? Maybe you’ve grown plants that looked great but delivered a one-dimensional high—either too spacey or too couch-locked. You want something that hits the sweet spot: energizing enough for creativity, relaxing enough to unwind. Something that grows strong without demanding a PhD in botany. And you want it to taste like more than just diesel and pine.

El Patron is that strain. Born from AMG and Shiva, this 60% sativa hybrid doesn’t just meet expectations—it exceeds them. It’s built for growers who want quality over quantity, complexity over cliché, and a high that evolves with your mood.

If You’re Just Starting Out: How El Patron Helps You

Don’t let the Cup win intimidate you—El Patron is surprisingly beginner-friendly. It’s forgiving during veg, adapts well to different environments, and doesn’t need advanced techniques to thrive. You won’t be babysitting a finicky phenotype; you’ll be growing a resilient plant that rewards attention, not perfection.

• Stable genetics mean consistent results, even with minor mistakes
• Thrives in both soil and coco, ideal for first-time cultivators
• Short flowering time of 9–10 weeks gets you from seed to smoke faster
• Natural resistance to mold and pests reduces stress during flowering

If You Already Have Experience: Why It Deserves a Place in Your Kit

For seasoned growers, El Patron offers depth. Its sativa-dominant structure responds beautifully to LST and SCROG, letting you maximize light exposure and yield. The terpene profile evolves during curing, revealing layers of citrus, kush, and wild herbs. And the high? It’s not just strong—it’s nuanced.

How to grow El Patron feminized seeds

El Patron is a photoperiod feminized strain with stable genetics, ideal for both novice and expert growers. It adapts well to indoor and outdoor setups, offering high yields and a balanced high.

Quick overview: feminized · Royal Queen Seeds · 9–10 week flowering · low to medium difficulty · perfect for indoor tents or outdoor gardens.

Safe start: Germinate seeds in a moist environment at 22–25 °C. Transplant carefully once the taproot is 1–2 cm long. For a hassle-free start, Seedbox Plagron speeds up rooting and reduces transplant stress.

Stable seedling: Keep humidity at 60–70% and provide gentle light. Water lightly and ensure good drainage. In sustained growth, MYCOPLANT keeps roots strong and boosts early vigor.

Directed growth: Use 18/6 light cycle in veg. Train with LST or topping to control height and improve yield. Maintain pH 6.0–6.5 in soil or 5.8–6.2 in coco. Ensure good airflow to prevent humidity buildup.

Efficient flowering: Switch to 12/12 light cycle. Maintain RH at 40–50% and increase nutrients gradually. Support heavy colas with stakes. At peak flowering, Top Max BioBizz helps with density and a cleaner taste.

Harvest and refinement: Harvest when trichomes turn milky to amber for a balanced effect. Flush 7–10 days before harvest. Dry at 18–22 °C and 50–60% RH, then cure for 2–4 weeks in jars.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I first grew El Patron three years ago, almost by accident—I had a spare spot in my tent and grabbed it from the Royal Queen Seeds collection. I was blown away. The plant grew tall but manageable, with dense, frosty buds that smelled like a mix of lemon zest and old-world incense. I didn’t do anything fancy—just basic LST and a solid feeding schedule—but it rewarded me with over 500 g/m².

What I love most is the high. It’s not just strong; it’s intelligent. I can smoke it during the day and still be productive, but it also melts away stress after a long session. For new growers, I’d say: don’t overthink it. This strain forgives mistakes. For experts? Push it. Train it hard, dial in your nutrients, and you’ll unlock its full potential. I’ve cloned it twice now, and both daughters performed just as well. It’s rare to find a strain that’s this consistent—and this rewarding.
