Top Easy Cannabis Strains for Beginner Growers
Northern Light
Northern Light Automatic: An American strain improved over the years
Soon after establishing itself in the Holland growing scene, Northern Lights cannabis seeds became the standard for indoor cannabis cultivation. Its influence spread worldwide as it went on to become one of the foundations of modern cannabis breeding. In recent years, different growing and breeding techniques have resulted in Northern Lights w**d seeds variants that harness the best attributes of this legend, while adding something unique to the equation. Royal Queen Seeds’ Northern Light Automatic is a perfect mix of new and old.
Being both autoflower and feminized, Northern Light Automatic is a versatile strain that is as perfect for discreet indoor growers as it is for high-volume home-growers outdoors. After a brief vegetative phase, this strain begins producing an abundance of flowers, finishing its entire life cycle in 10–12 weeks after planting the seed.
Insane yields for an auto
Northern Light Automatic provides a generous harvest and might be one of the highest-yielding autoflowering strains available. Growing to a height of around 90–120cm, it is quite a large plant for an auto, which explains its yields of up to 200g/plant outdoors and a whopping 550g/m² indoors.
Much like the original Northern Lights, our Northern Light Automatic has a nice, sweet taste and a comfortable physical effect accompanied by cerebral stimulation. It’s the same classic strain, just with an autoflowering twist—which also makes it a great strain for medical users.

Royal Dwarf
Smallest Strain “Inda House”
By combining potent Skunk genetics with a ruderalis variety, the hardiest, most compact strain known as Royal Dwarf churns out impressive yields for a plant of its stature. Reaching only 40–60cm in height, this feminized autoflowering variety isn’t only fast-flowering and the ideal size for a discreet guerilla grow, her intense aroma will remind you of the potency contained within her buds.
Fast, Compact, and Efficient
Who needs a bonsai plant when you can crop a miniature cannabis tree that will have you surfing the cosmos? The plant’s tight buds and resistant nature are further heightened by its brief life cycle, which completes in 9–10 weeks from seed to harvest.
By the end of the flowering phase, resin-covered flowers will impress the cultivator who didn’t believe autoflowering strains could really deliver. These cannabis seeds produce decent yields of up to 80g/plant outside, and up to a very respectable 200g/m² under ideal indoor conditions.
A Stimulating and Cerebral Daytime Smoke
Being a indica-dominant cultivar, Royal Dwarf encourages social, uplifting highs; yet the experience is rounded out with a relaxing, soothing effect that brings out the best from the Skunk genetics. You can’t grow wrong with a low-profile strain that has been hybridised to perfection by the expert team at Royal Queen Seeds.

Easy Bud
An Easy, Fruitful Strain For Beginners
When growing autoflowering cannabis plants, there is somewhat of an expectation that they will be easy to grow. While this is often the case, few auto strains match the ease of cultivation and yield potential of Easy Bud.
Maintaining similarities to Royal Dwarf, but with a few genetic differences, Easy Bud is a superb indica-dominant strain. Combining robust ruderalis genetics with strong indica strains, Easy Bud's cannabis seeds can be grown nearly anywhere—indoors, outdoors, in a greenhouse, on the windowsill, you name it!
A Favourite Among Guerrilla Growers
Of course, a major reason for this adaptability is Easy Bud’s short stature. Averaging heights between 50–60cm indoors, calling this plant squat is a bit of an understatement. All the same, after just 9–10 weeks post-germination, you’ll crop ample yields up to 325g/m² indoors and up to 80g/plant outdoors.
Easy Bud is of course recommended for the novice grower, as well as those looking to crop multiple harvests of tasty Easy Bud buds per season. Even still, the impatient cultivator will be pleased by how quickly the strain races to harvest, providing aromas of herbaceous Skunk in the final weeks of flowering.
Expect a Subtle and Clear-Headed High
Upon smoking the cured buds, sweeter flavours of lemon will signal the beginning of the relaxing effects to come. With a THC percentage of 12%, this is the ideal strain for those seeking a mild high in the evening. You can savour all the characteristics of this cultivar without being overwhelmed by intense psychoactivity.
Sometimes, growing cannabis doesn’t need to be that complicated. Give Easy Bud a go, and you’ll learn just how simple it is to grow this hardy specimen.

Royal Jack Automatic
Grow Royal Jack automatic wherever you want
The Jack Herer strain is equally famous as the man himself, carrying with it a legacy that will stand the test of time. The original photoperiod cultivar has been enjoyed by cannabis connoisseurs the world over, and is now available in an easy-to-grow autoflowering format with Royal Jack Automatic. Maintaining the original Herer’s powerful and uplifting sativa-dominant high, the fresh, peppery aroma offers something new and intriguing for those who have yet to crop this beauty.
In many ways, Royal Jack Automatic really is like a mini-version of the original; however, given Royal Jack’s autoflowering nature, it can be grown nearly anywhere! After the seeds are germinated, feminized plants will grow quickly and be ready to harvest in just 11-12 weeks.
The High Will Keep Your Motivated All Day Long
The main effect of this strain is a creative and energising high, but thanks to its mix of Haze, Northern Lights, and Skunk genetics, it also gives you a relaxing, stoney indica feeling. Royal Jack Automatic's cannabis seeds feature a Haze-like peppery profile. The smoke is fresh and smooth with a slightly spicy herbal taste, much like the original Jack Herer strain.
Small Plants With Big Yields
Royal Jack Automatic will perform well in both indoor and outdoor grows, providing average yields of around 70–120g/plant outdoors and up to 400g/m² indoors. It will not grow too tall, reaching a height of 40–90cm, which makes it ideal for smaller or more discreet grows. Royal Queen Seeds is proud to continue the tribute to Jack Herer, the Emperor of H**p, with this great autoflowering strain.

Quick One
QUICK ONE AUTOMATIC: A PIONEER STRAIN
Deriving from Canadian genetics, Quick One is based on the original autoflowering strain Lowryder. This strain was created by crossing Williams Wonder, Northern Lights, and ruderalis. The ruderalis genetics gave the plant its autoflowering ability, which means it will flower automatically without a change in light schedule. These genetics have given birth to almost all autoflowering strains available today.
COMPACT PLANTS WITH VERY DECENT YIELDS
RQS Quick One seeds are all feminized and, when planted, will grow into strong female plants that are ready for harvest in around 8 weeks. Some plants may take up to 9-10 weeks to fully mature, but that’s still pretty quick. Especially when you consider that most photoperiod varieties of cannabis can take 9 weeks just to flower.
Quick One is a small, compact plant. Generally, it will not grow any taller than 50 or 60cm. If grown well, it can yield up to 150g/plant, and some growers have achieved even more. The plants have a fresh, herbal, citrusy aroma. The taste is mild but good, and comes with a pleasant physically stoned effect.

Critical
A very complete strain
There are always lots of requirements to fill when deciding which strain to grow: strength, yield, flavour, ease of growth, suitability to climate etc. There is one ma*****na plant that tries to bring together all these features in a perfect balance in order to produce the ultimate cash crop: large yield, short flowering period, good smoke. Critical is a plant designed for the 'cash-crop' grower who wants the best of both worlds and is guaranteed to fulfil expectations.
Our Critical plant is an Indica dominant genetic which shows in its small size, staying below 1 metre tall. It has short internode spacing, which will eventually fill up with buds, making it the high-yielding specimen it is. Its small height also makes it suitable for those looking to grow in small spaces, for the more discreet growers.
Only 7 weeks of flowering
Grown indoors, it will average 65-75 grams per plant and can easily hit 600 grams per square metre under a 600W light. Grown outdoors, it prefers a warmer climate such as in Spain, Italy or California and, given the right conditions, will produce over 600 grams per plant. Due to its relatively short flowering time, it can be grown in more northern latitudes (UK, Netherlands); however, it will not reach its full potential as she would indoors.
No other plant from Royal Queen Seeds will yield as much in 7 weeks as Critical Feminized. This short flowering time makes it suitable for growers with a tight schedule. Commercial growers will be pleased with the results in sea/screen of green operations as it delivers large yields with very little maintenance.
Relaxing and stoned effect
The final key to a good commercial crop is a solid smoke; it wouldn't make sense to have such a high-yielding plant with no power in the puff. Therefore we are glad to say that Critical offers just as much in the stone as it does in the yield. It brings a nice stoned effect which mellows you down into a relaxed vibration.

Royal Gorilla
Royal Gorilla: RQS Works Its Magic With Legendary Strain Gorilla Glue
Without a doubt, Royal Gorilla is one of the most talked about cannabis strains to come out of the US in a long time, quickly making a name for itself as a connoisseur favourite in the states. Her discovery, however, was entirely coincidental. Two breeders from the US, Joesy Whales and Lone Watie, discovered the strain after Joesy’s Chem Sis plants accidently hermied and pollinated his Sour Dubb. We don’t know exactly what made Lonie keep some of the seeds when Joesy tossed the strain out, but what we know is that he later germinated them maybe just out of curiosity and what shot out from the soil was nothing less than the spectacular Royal Gorilla!
Genetics and Potency
The two passionate breeders immediately knew they had created something truly special, and were blown away by the results of their first THC measurements. As if a staggering 24-26% of THC wouldn’t be crazily high enough, some of her phenos are said to have weighed in at an incredible 30% - THC levels which up to this date had never been measured in any strain before.
As for Gorilla Glue’s name, the official story here is that they choose the name because of the strain’s insane resin production that made the two breeders stick to everything after handling their new creation. But given the strain’s super-relaxing effect, Royal Gorilla can also be a perfectly fitting name to describe her deeply relaxing body stone that will “glue” you to your couch, although her high also comes with an uplifting euphoria - making her effect awesomely balanced.
