The team of master breeders at Royal Queen Seeds have changed the paradigm of cannabis cultivation with this new suite of F1 seeds in strains. We have a lineup we’re happy to talk about, but first let’s brush up on our genetics and learn what sets F1 seeds apart.
Higher, better, faster, stronger
What exactly is an F1 hybrid? Unlike a regular hybrid, which results from crossing two genetic lines, a Filial 1 (F1) seed is produced by cross-pollination of two different “pure” or “inbred” lines.
While inbreeding is generally to be avoided in society, don’t worry – there’s no chance that F1 seeds will completely ruin you. On the contrary: the inbreeding process creates offspring that are more robust and resilient than their parents by reinforcing positive traits over generations.

How do new weed varieties emerge?
An experienced breeder can manipulate the reduced gene pool to also produce seeds with less variation between individuals, without producing plants full of clones without any genetic variation that could be susceptible to disease.
F1 seeds are a familiar sight in other agricultural fields – they’re responsible for most of the picturesque produce at your local grocery store – but applying this technique to cannabis is an innovation from Royal Queen Seeds, and they’ve truly changed the game.
Thanks to RQS, you’ll never again have to wait weeks for your cannabis seeds to mature, only to find out that what you grew isn’t quite the strain you expected. Royal Queen Seeds F1 hybrids produce a plant that looks, smells and tastes like the real thing.

Titan F1 from Royal Queen Seeds
One of the strongest strains in Royal Queen Seeds’ arsenal, Titan F1 is an autoflowering, myrcene-dominant indica-like strain that produces buds with THC levels that are nothing short of gigantic. Titan has a family tree that includes Blue Dream, Sugar Magnolia and Amnesia, a star-studded lineage strengthened and empowered by Royal Queen’s breeding techniques.
Titan reportedly has a sugary citrus flavor with a hint of lemongrass. Combined with Titan’s incredible potency, this flavor profile makes Titan a great strain for relaxing after dinner when the dishes are done and all you need to do is relax, unwind and clear your head. Titan plants grow to about 65cm tall (that’s about two and a half feet for us Americans) and bloom in 5-7 weeks.
Royal Queen Seeds Orion F1
Just like the mythological hunter who shares this name with this strain, Orion always wins big. This autoflowering F1 hybrid from Royal Queen Seeds is one of the highest yielding strains in their range, producing loads of strong and beautiful viridian colored buds once it’s time to harvest. Descended from Blue Mammoth, Blue Dream and Amnesia, Orion has hints of CBG to go along with its high THC content, resulting in a unique stoned feeling and fresh taste.
You don’t have to wait long to experience this flavor either – Orion can flower in just 35 days and grow up to 80cm (32 inches) tall. This means that by choosing to plant Orion, you will have enough greenery to make stargazing special for a long, long time.
Royal Queen Seeds Milky Way F1
If you want to jump-start your own growing galaxy with a Big Bang, look no further than the Milky Way. One of Royal Queen’s first F1 autoflowering strains, Milky Way was a real jump-start for growers, boasting a complex blend of aromatic terpenes that resulted in a deep, dense and moist terpene profile.
These flowers contain myrcene, caryophyllene and pinene, resulting in a hot diesel aroma with clear citrus notes. Milky Way has the honor of being the most aromatic F1 in the Royal Queen’s squad, thanks largely to its Blue Mammoth, Blue Dream and Sin Tra Bajo heritage. Milky Way seeds grow great indoors, outdoors or in greenhouses. So order some today and immerse yourself in the cosmos.
Royal Queen Seeds Epsilon F1
Patience may be a virtue, but no one likes to wait to smoke. Luckily, this isn’t a problem when you grow Royal Queen Epsilon seeds. These little rockets shoot out of the ground and bloom in just 30 days, and that’s not all.
Epsilon seeds grow into short, compact plants that don’t produce much smell. They’re perfect for those with limited space and for roommates who may be sensitive to the smell of cannabis. Epsilon is an autoflowering strain descended from Blue Dream, Blueberry, Amnesia Lemon Haze and Black Domina, with moderate THC and a terpene profile that features significant amounts of myrcene and farnesene, as well as hints of limonene and ocimene.
Royal Queen Seeds Medusa F1
While you don’t have to worry about this Medusa petrifying you, don’t worry, she’ll get you pretty high. Medusa is a true 50/50 hybrid and descends from Sugar Magnolia and American Beauty. The result is a hybrid that combines the best of both worlds and smells and looks incredible.
Medusa features a unique farnesene terpene profile with high levels of THC and CBG, meaning it relaxes the body and boosts the mind. Medusa’s buds are thick and frosty, flecked with rich orange hues, and are particularly easy to cut when it’s time to harvest.
Medusa is also slightly larger, reaching a height of around 80 cm (32 inches). So make sure you give your crop plenty of room to expand and it will reward you when harvest time approaches.
These are just a handful of the F1 seeds Royal Queen offers, with more set to hit the market in 2024. But that’s not all. On their website you will also find a huge selection of all types of cannabis seeds, growing equipment, merchandise and much more.
