Discover the Power and Tradition of Special Queen #1

Special Queen #1 is a tribute to the legendary Skunk genetics that took the European cannabis world by storm in the '90s. By crossing the iconic Skunk with Power Bud, Royal Queen Seeds has created an affordable classic that carries the robust traits of Mexican, Colombian, and Afghan landraces. This balanced hybrid offers a stable growing experience for both beginners and the most demanding fans of old-school genetics.

Aroma & Effect

As soon as you encounter this strain, you'll be greeted by a complex and pungent aroma where earthy tones blend with fruity hints and the characteristic, sharp scent of classic Skunk. The effect is a masterful balance between a clear, cheerful high that starts in the head and a long-lasting physical relaxation that slowly moves through your entire body. It is the perfect companion for a relaxed evening when you are looking for deep rest and an upbeat, carefree vibe.

Growing Characteristics & Yield

Special Queen #1 is known for its impressive vigor and versatility. Indoors, it remains manageable with a height of up to 140 cm, but outdoors it can grow into a true giant of up to 2.7 meters, provided it receives plenty of sunlight and nutrients. With a fast flowering time of just 7 to 9 weeks, it is ideal for growers in regions with shorter summers. You can count on a generous harvest of approximately 500-550g/m² indoors or up to 550g per plant when flourishing in open ground outdoors.

Growing Tips

Given its tendency to stretch significantly, I recommend applying training techniques such as LST (Low Stress Training) or topping, especially if you are working with limited vertical space indoors. Outdoors, it thrives in both mild and shorter summers thanks to its fast finish. Ensure an airy substrate and pay close attention to ventilation during the final weeks of flowering; its buds become incredibly compact and heavy with resin, which is a joy to see but requires the right attention to ensure a perfect result.
