Purple Queen is pure indica royalty. By combining the most elusive and highly-prized purple phenotypes of Kush mountain strains, the master breeders at Royal Queen Seeds have developed a unique Kush hybrid. Vibrant purple colours, pungent pine-fuel aromas, and a deeply penetrating, physically stoned effect are to be expected from Purple Queen.
Some say that purple is the colour of good judgement; Purple Queen is the cool purple strain for the wise weed grower indeed. Sticky green is good, but pure, frosty purple flowers are fantastic. And not just to look at. Purple Queen lays the smackdown. Her powerful physical effects will take you deep. Deep into the couch and probably the fridge, too. Smooth, full-bodied Kush flavour with a slight lemon twist will delight your palate as you gently float off to dreamland. These gorgeous looks were only possible thanks to parent strains Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani.
Purple Queen reigns supreme in the cannabis garden. Indoors, or outdoors in temperate to warm climates, these cannabis seeds can and probably will stun you with her gooey purple nugs. In just 8 weeks of 12/12, or by mid-September outdoors, she will be ready for harvest. Purple Queen is a compact, branchy Kush hybrid that will mature to purple dream weed without a fuss. She’ll fill out lateral grow space and will rarely exceed 1m in height. Over thousands of years, the ancient Kush genetics from which she is derived have developed incredible resistance as well as spectacular purple hues. Purple Queen can tolerate high doses of fertilisers and will thrive in any growing system from organics to hydroponics.

Strain FAQ
How does Hindu Kush smell and taste different?
The rich terpene combination of myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene gives Hindu Kush its distinct profile. Its earthy, piney fragrance and sweet sandalwood overtones enhance the strain's appeal.
What makes a cannabis strain cold-resistant?
Cold-weather cannabis strains come from severe environments like the Hindu Kush or Russian steppes. These evolved genetic modifications thicken their leaves and strengthen the structure, protecting against cold.
Has the main terpene responsible for pine flavour been used elsewhere?
Indeed, it has a long history! Pine needles and alpha-pinene-rich resin have been employed by indigenous cultures for various purposes. I find it amazing that this particular terpene has been used so widely across cultures and time.
Do short-flowering strains save energy?
Absolutely. Since these plants are known to harvest faster, they need less energy for lighting, ventilation, and other equipment. These strains save indoor legal producers a lot of energy, making them more sustainable and affordable.
Why are strains which finish by mid-September popular for the outdoors?
The ability to harvest by mid-September is said to benefit legal outdoor growers. Beating the first fall frosts is said to be helpful in avoiding crop loss to cold or mould. This timing is reportedly essential for crop quality and quantity without the risks of later-finishing cultivars.
