Genetics & Origin of Special Queen
Special Queen is Royal Queen Seeds' interpretation of Skunk. The breeder does not name a specific cross, but it does name the roots: Mexican, Colombian and Afghan ancestors, supplemented with Skunk lines. The result is a Sativa-dominant hybrid whose exact proportions the manufacturer leaves open. It describes the genetics as stable – the plants grow compactly, branch well and form numerous resinous buds. The THC content is around 18%, and the CBD content is low. Royal Queen Seeds positions the strain as a Skunk classic with modern yield potential and a high that is meant to recall the Skunks of the '90s. The seeds are feminised and photoperiod; flowering only begins after the switch to 12/12. If you would like to compare Skunk strains, Skunk #1 by Barney's Farm is another one in our range.

Growing Special Queen: Indoor & Outdoor
Indoor Growing
Indoors, Special Queen remains easy to manage at 80 to 140 cm and is ready for harvest after 7 to 8 weeks of flowering. Royal Queen Seeds states 500 to 550 g/m². According to the manufacturer, the compact, well-branched growth makes the strain ideal for SOG and SCROG: in a Sea of Green, many small plants stand close together, while with SCROG the branches are woven into a net. It works in soil as well as in hydroponics and is considered robust and low-maintenance. Skunk genetics smell strongly, so an activated carbon filter is part of the basic equipment. The tips for beginners offer an easy introduction to climate and feeding.
Outdoor Growing
Outdoors, Special Queen grows considerably larger: the manufacturer states 200 to 270 cm. In the northern hemisphere, harvest is in early to mid-October, and the yield is 500 to 550 g per plant. Royal Queen Seeds considers the strain suitable for cooler climate zones and cites reliable yields even in more northern regions such as Great Britain or the Netherlands. At this height, it needs space and a spot sheltered from the wind. Only grow where it is legal to do so.
Effect, Aroma & Flavour of Special Queen
Special Queen smells skunky and spicy; Royal Queen Seeds describes the flavour as earthy and sweet with classic Skunk notes. The manufacturer speaks of an authentic Skunk experience like in the '90s. It does not list individual terpenes: the manufacturer does not give a lab terpene profile. It gives the effect as mentally stimulating, relaxing and long-lasting – a classic Skunk high that appeals to body and mind in a balanced way. With around 18% THC, Special Queen is strong without being one of the extremely potent strains; the CBD content is low. Beyond the keyword "long-lasting", the breeder gives no information on the onset and duration of the effect. How intense the effect is depends on dose and personal tolerance.
