About Royal Queen Seeds

Royal Queen Seeds is one of Europe's largest and most respected cannabis seed companies. Founded in 2010, they've grown rapidly to offer over 200 strains — from classic indica and sativa varieties to cutting-edge autoflowers and CBD strains. Known for rigorous quality control, excellent customer service, and accessible pricing.

History

Royal Queen Seeds was founded in 2010 by a collective of Dutch and Spanish cannabis enthusiasts who wanted to bridge premium Dutch genetics with Spain's booming cannabis grow culture. Starting with a small catalogue of proven classics, they rapidly expanded to over 200 varieties by the late 2010s. RQS invested heavily in an educational platform — their grow guides, tutorials and cannabis magazine (RQS Blog) have become one of the most-visited cannabis resources on the internet, helping millions of new growers worldwide.
