Customers are responsible for complying with the law applicable in their location.

Royal Queen Seeds is one of Europe’s best-known cannabis seed breeders, with a catalogue spanning autoflower, feminized, CBD and F1 hybrid genetics. The brand developed from cannabis breeding work in the Netherlands and has grown into an international seed company with roots in Amsterdam and headquarters in Barcelona.

Our Royal Queen Seeds collection includes established cannabis genetics alongside newer hybrid lines, with varieties covering indica, sativa and hybrid backgrounds. Individual seeds differ considerably in genetic lineage, cannabinoid profile, terpene characteristics and other breeder-described traits.

The History of Royal Queen Seeds

Royal Queen Seeds traces its modern origins to 2007, when the team was already working with cannabis breeding and selected genetics in the Netherlands.

In 2010, RQS opened its first physical store on Damstraat in Amsterdam. The Royal Queen Seeds website followed in 2011, bringing the breeder’s seed catalogue to customers across Europe.

The brand expanded its physical presence to Barcelona in 2016 and has since grown internationally, while continuing to develop new cannabis genetics alongside established strain families.

Royal Queen Seeds Cannabis Genetics

The Royal Queen Seeds catalogue covers a broad mix of indica, sativa and hybrid cannabis genetics. Its collection includes established names such as White Widow, Northern Light, O.G. Kush and Critical alongside newer strains and modern hybrid lines.

Different RQS varieties can have very different genetic backgrounds, cannabinoid profiles and terpene characteristics. Some are based on recognised classic strain families, while others combine newer American and European cannabis genetics.

The Evertree UK range includes autoflower, feminized and CBD-focused genetics, as well as Royal Queen Seeds’ F1 hybrid collection.

Royal Queen Seeds F1 Hybrids

Royal Queen Seeds has become particularly associated with F1 hybrid cannabis genetics. F1 stands for first filial generation and describes the first generation produced by crossing two carefully developed parent lines.

RQS introduced its first commercial F1 hybrid cannabis range in 2023. The breeder develops these genetics from selected inbred parent lines with the aim of producing greater uniformity and consistency across the resulting first-generation seeds.

The current Evertree UK range includes Orion F1, Epsilon F1, Milky Way F1 and Titan F1.

Autoflower and Feminized Royal Queen Seeds

Royal Queen Seeds offers both autoflower cannabis seeds and feminized cannabis seeds.

Autoflower and feminized describe different genetic characteristics. Autoflower varieties are associated with flowering according to maturity, while feminized seeds are bred to greatly reduce the likelihood of male plant genetics appearing.

Examples in the current Evertree collection include Blue Cheese Autoflowering, Royal Dwarf, Quick One, Green Gelato Auto and Northern Light Auto, alongside feminized genetics such as O.G. Kush, Cookies Gelato, Critical, Royal Gorilla, Special Queen 1 and White Widow.

Royal Queen Seeds CBD Genetics

The Royal Queen Seeds catalogue also includes cannabis genetics selected for a greater emphasis on CBD.

CBD-focused varieties can differ considerably in the balance between CBD and THC, so the term CBD does not mean every strain has the same cannabinoid profile.

Current CBD varieties available through Evertree UK include Royal Highness CBD Feminized, Euphoria CBD Feminized, Dance World CBD Feminized and Stress Killer CBD Autoflowering.

Award-Winning Cannabis Seed Bank

Royal Queen Seeds has received recognition at cannabis industry competitions and events over the years. The breeder currently describes its catalogue as including more than 40 award-winning strains.

The brand’s wider catalogue includes established names such as Northern Light, White Widow, O.G. Kush and Skunk #1 alongside newer genetics including Gelato, Gorilla, Runtz and its expanding F1 hybrid collection.

This combination of older strain families and newer breeding projects has helped Royal Queen Seeds build one of the broader cannabis seed catalogues available from a European breeder.

Choosing Royal Queen Seeds Genetics

When comparing Royal Queen Seeds varieties, start with the individual genetic lineage rather than the brand name alone. The catalogue covers a wide range of indica, sativa and hybrid backgrounds with very different breeder-described characteristics.

Cannabinoid profile is another useful point of comparison. Individual strains can differ considerably in CBD and THC characteristics, while the collection also includes dedicated CBD-focused genetics.

You can also compare varieties by autoflower, feminized or F1 hybrid classification, as well as by breeder-described terpene profile and strain heritage.

Individual product pages provide the available Royal Queen Seeds information for each variety, including genetic background, cannabinoid profile and other strain characteristics.
