Melonade Runtz is Dutch Passion's contemporary USA-style cannabis cross — a potent, tasty, feminised photoperiod strain created by combining Cannabis Cup-winning Lemon Z genetics with Lemon Tree and the widely-known Runtz line. Built as a crème de la crème of modern cannabis genetics, the result is a powerful hybrid that provides a true flavor explosion alongside strong, long-lasting effect. Dutch Passion's Lemon Z (formerly known as Lemon Zkittlez) took both the Sativa category and the Overall Best Strain title at the 2018 Highlife Cup, and that cup-winning phenotype was then crossed with an elite Lemon Tree clone to create the Melonade parent. Crossing this Melonade with Runtz (Zkittlez x Gelato) genetics produced the Melonade Runtz cultivar, which can genuinely compete with the very best modern US strains. The aromatic signature is pungent and layered — primarily a colorful mix of lemon and tropical fruit alongside creamy doughy notes. The taste is usually sour and tropical, though some phenotypes lean slightly creamier and sweeter. The fruit character predominates, and the combination of the Zkittlez-like fruity sour character with gelato-like creamy notes creates a distinctive flavor explosion. The Runtz side adds penetrating intensity and refined palate complexity, giving the final strain a real USA cultivar identity with serious bag appeal.

OG Kush is arguably the most mythologized strain in American cannabis, and RQS's version works from the most commonly cited lineage — Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, and Pakistani Kush. The true genetic origin is disputed, and has been since the early 1990s: some growers maintain OG Kush is just a specific Chemdawg cut from that period, others credit the three-way cross above, and the debate has more or less settled into "nobody really knows." Even the name OG has been argued over for decades, with Original Gangster and Ocean Grown both claiming etymological authority, though most modern users and breeders have converged on Ocean Grown based on the strain's west coast origins. What's not disputed is the 1st place win at the Highlife Cannabis Cup, or the plant's status as a foundational modern hybrid — OG Kush is in the parentage of an enormous portion of today's commercial cannabis, directly or indirectly. Genetic split sits at 75% indica, 25% sativa.

Orange Sherbet FF (Fast Flowering) is Fast Buds' finely balanced hybrid that produces some of the tastiest orange-flavored weed available — an excellent choice for top-notch extractions. With up to 26% THC, this citrus terp powerhouse matches her wonderful taste with potency, offering a long-lasting uplifting high that puts consumers in the right mindset to chill and have a good time. The ideal strain for growers across experience levels, especially beginners looking for low-maintenance yet highly productive photoperiod varieties that deliver in both quality and quantity as fast as possible without extra effort.

Orbital Banana F1 is RQS's photoperiod entry into the F1 hybrid category — a three-way cross of Banana Punch, GMO, and EZBake AF with the parental inbred lines bred specifically to produce uniform, high-yielding F1 seeds. The F1 approach is a meaningful shift from traditional polyhybrid breeding: by crossing two stable inbred lines rather than polyhybrid parents, every seed in the pack expresses effectively the same phenotype, which is a significant departure from the phenotype drift growers normally accept in photoperiod packs. The lineage itself combines tropical sweetness from the Banana Punch side with a touch of fuel and funk from GMO, and the photoperiod structure gives commercial growers the light-cycle control that autoflowers don't offer.

Passion #1 is one of the oldest outdoor varieties in the Dutch Passion collection — a feminised hybrid cannabis strain with California origins that have been shaped by Dutch breeding work since 1980. Originally developed as one of the best green outdoor varieties in 1970s California, the strain was formerly known as Amstel Gold and is the result of years of selection and crossing. It's been bred selectively over decades for speed, size, yield, and potency, and the combination of those four traits has made Passion #1 one of the fastest and at the same time largest outdoor varieties available on the commercial market. THC levels can reach nearly 20%, which is high for an outdoor strain and particularly high for one with this growth vigor — Passion #1 is no weak outdoor option. Smokers looking for potent resin-drenched buds from a strain bred explicitly for outdoor cultivation have relatively few better picks. The aroma is fresh, tart, and slightly spicy, dominated by a fruity blend of lemon, lime, and woody herbs — rosemary and thyme come through clearly for experienced palates. The scent is strong without being super-penetrating, a practical advantage for outdoor growers who prefer not to advertise their plants to neighbors or passers-by. The taste follows the aromatic profile: sour citrus notes mixed with a bit of spice and earth, smoking smoothly and producing a strong potent up-high. The sharp, spicy, sour notes can tingle the throat on bigger draws, which some users love and others find notable.

White Label's Pure Power Plant Feminized is a fast-flowering 60% sativa, 40% indica strain built for quick turnarounds and abundant yields. She's been around since the 1990s and remains popular — a firm favourite in Dutch coffeeshops, often on the menu, and prized for super-sized yields that surpass many other cannabis strains. The strain produces a skunky vanilla-wood aroma during growth that carries through clearly into the finished flavor, and the sativa dominance results in a talkative, uplifting, exuberant high. Grown indoors or in warm outdoor climates, she delivers plentiful yields — as much as 700 grams per square metre under optimal conditions — alongside a focused, energetic effect that the 60% sativa genetics drive directly. Also available as Pure Power Plant Automatic by White Label for autoflower setups.

Purple Lemonade FF (Fast Flowering) arises from a cross between purple and citrus Cali genetics — offering a complex high made up of perfectly balanced cerebral and body effects ideal for daytime use. Expect an extremely enjoyable high that boosts mood while deeply relaxing the whole body and eliminating muscle pain. This meticulous cross produces up to 550 g/m² of some of the most beautiful purple buds with pinkish and reddish hues that catch everyone's attention. Beautiful purple buds are ready for harvest in 7-8 weeks alongside unbelievably sugary citrus terps that are just as refreshing as a cold lemonade on a hot summer day — the ideal variety for the sweet-tooth stoner seeking strains that deliver both in quality and quantity of resin.

Purple Punch crosses Larry OG with Granddaddy Purple - two strains with heavy indica reputations and distinct terpene personalities. The cross splits 85% indica, 15% sativa and leans firmly into the body side of that genetic weight, but what sets her apart from generic indicas is the flavor profile: a rare combination of fruit, dessert, and earth notes that you simply don't find in most heritage heavy-indica lines. Visually she produces the deep purple tones the name promises, which - paired with hardy genetics and predictable yields - has made her one of the RQS catalog's more popular modern purple strains.

Quick One is RQS's answer to the most basic autoflower request: small, fast, stealth-friendly, no-fuss. The cross is Lowryder 1 (the original stable autoflowering workhorse) x Old School Indica (for body stone and yield). The pairing prioritizes reliability over complexity - Lowryder 1 gives the speed and predictability, Old School Indica adds enough density and flavor to keep the end product from being a compromise. After crossing and stabilizing, RQS landed on a consistently fast, compact plant aimed squarely at first-time growers, stealth grows, and guerrilla setups.

Royal AK Auto is the autoflowering reinterpretation of the original AK-47 hybrid — one of the most recognizable strain names in commercial cannabis. The lineage pulls from the same pool of Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghan landraces that defined the AK character: hardiness, resilience, and a sweet-floral nose that set the strain apart from the heavier-indica skunks of its era. RQS's auto version adds ruderalis genetics for rapid cycle times without sacrificing the giggly, daytime-friendly effect of the original. Genetic split sits at 40% indica, 35% sativa, 25% ruderalis — an unusually balanced distribution for an autoflower, and one that preserves the AK-47 experience rather than substituting a generic auto profile for it. For growers who want AK character without the photoperiod commitment or the multi-phenotype lottery of traditional polyhybrid seed packs, this is the closest commercial match available.

Royal Cheese Auto is the autoflowering version of the legendary UK Cheese line — a strain bred in Britain for its notorious pungency and tranquil, munchy effect profile. RQS built their auto version by crossing Cheese into Royal Critical Auto, which contributed the short cycle and euphoric lift of a Cannabis Cup-winning autoflower. The result is a 50% indica, 30% sativa, 20% ruderalis split that preserves the skunky cheese aroma while cutting weeks off the timeline. For growers chasing Cheese character without the full photoperiod commitment, this is the cleanest shortcut RQS offers, and the phenotype expression stays close enough to the original UK Cheese that veteran growers recognize the lineage immediately.

Royal Gorilla carries the DNA of one of American cannabis's most celebrated happy accidents. The lineage is Sour Dubb x Chem Sis x Chocolate Diesel — the same three-way cross that gave the world GG4 (formerly Gorilla Glue #4) and arguably reshaped what connoisseurs expect from a heavy hybrid. The origin story is close to folklore by now. Two US breeders, Joesy Whales and Lone Watie, were working with Chem Sis plants when they accidentally hermaphrodited and pollinated a nearby Sour Dubb. Joesy initially tossed the seeds. Lone Watie kept a few on an instinct nobody's fully explained, germinated them out of curiosity, and what came up from the soil turned out to be the cut the industry now calls Gorilla. RQS's version of that lineage preserves the character that made the original famous and ships it with the seed-level QA and consistency that come from a major European breeder. The trophy case is real: 1st place at the 2014 Cannabis Cup, 1st in the best hybrid category at the 2015 World Cannabis Cup, plus a 1st in New Strains and a 3rd in Indica at the Highlife Cannabis Cup.

Runtz x Layer Cake is Barney's Farm's cross of the widely-known Runtz genetics with Layer Cake — a balanced 50/50 Indica/Sativa hybrid that produces 28% THC in a genuinely balanced hybrid package. The Runtz side contributes the candy-sweet dessert character that made the Runtz family a modern US classic; Layer Cake brings structural density, compact bud architecture, and additional terpene complexity. The aromatic profile is tropical fruits, herbal, sweet, and spicy — a layered signature that stands out against single-line modern hybrids — and the palate delivers citrus, diesel, earthy, and spicy notes with the complex character the parent lineage suggests. The effect is creative, strong body high, uplifting, and relaxing — genuinely balanced hybrid territory where users get both cerebral energy and body relaxation in proportion.

Shiva Skunk Feminized is Sensi Seeds' strongest skunk variety — an 85% indica, 15% sativa hybrid built from Northern Lights #5 and Skunk #1, with genetic depth that traces back to some of the most decorated strains in the Sensi catalog. The short flowering time and high yield potential make her well-suited to continental climates and indoor rotation, and the distinctive musky, citrusy aroma carries through both growing and consumption. She's named after the Hindu deity Shiva — partly because of the traditional cultural association between Shiva and cannabis, partly because the strain is just that powerful. Regular and Automatic variants are also available.

Silver Fire Feminized is an indica/sativa hybrid with a serious genetic pedigree: Sensi's own award-winning Silver Haze crossed with the popular US strain Fire OG. Originally part of the inaugural Sensi Seeds Research project in 2019, Silver Fire proved so popular with the community that Sensi decided to add her to the permanent catalogue — despite her not being one of the final three choices from that first research round. The plants reach average heights with rapid growth during flowering, produce large yields, and carry a spicy, citrusy aroma and taste that trace back to both sides of the lineage. The high is uplifting, euphoric, and potent — a fairly powerful, fast-acting effect that novice users should be ready for, because she comes on quickly and with real intensity.

Cannabis cultivation is effectively inconceivable without Skunk #1. Sensi Seeds' version has been exciting cannabis growers globally for more than a quarter century, and the strain changed cannabis culture in a way few others have — the genetic backbone of an enormous portion of modern hybrids can be traced back to this line. Now available as a premium-quality feminized variant, Skunk #1 combines the energetic high of a sativa with the relaxed stone effect of an indica, with a skunky flavor profile that sits halfway between earthy and sweet. Uniformly growing plants, extreme robustness, and the foundational genetic heritage that defined a whole family of crosses. Often imitated, rarely equaled.

Special Queen 1 is a deliberate throwback to the 1990s skunk-hybrid era - the period when European breeders were racing to replicate the Mexican-Colombian-Afghan hybrid that had been arriving in Europe through the underground and trying to turn it into something reproducible and commercial. The result of that decade of work was the Skunk family that still anchors much of modern cannabis genetics. Special Queen 1 crosses Power Bud into classic Skunk to produce a clean, affordable version of that heritage - deliberately aimed at first-time growers and anyone who wants a no-fuss plant without committing premium-seed pricing to the experiment.

Fast Buds' Stardawg Auto brings the prized Chemdawg #4 x Tres Dawg cut into collision with Fast Buds' unique autoflowering genetics, giving rise to a new breed of robust Sativa-Indica hybrid that performs as an all-star for growth, taste, and a tasty 22% THC. Novices may want to watch out — the potency is higher than many first-time growers expect from an autoflower.

Sticky Queen earns her name through sheer resin production. Her parents are Kosher Kush - a High Times Cannabis Cup winner with a heavy stoning profile and earth-plus-fruit terpene character - and OG Kush, added to the cross to push THC higher and contribute fruity top notes. The result is a 60% indica, 40% sativa hybrid that leans into the body side of its heritage while carrying just enough sativa to keep the high from going fully narcotic. Visually she produces flowers so resin-coated that trim scissors gum up within minutes.

Super Boof XL Auto is Sweet Seeds' 10th Generation extra-large autoflowering hybrid — a cross combining the abundant resin production of Super Boof with the exotic tropical profile of Papaya Zoap Auto. The balanced cross produces compact, well-branched, vigorous plants with dense chunky buds coated in a thick trichome layer, making her ideal for all types of extractions. The aromatic profile blends ripe cherry, sweet papaya, cookies, Diesel, and a floral background — a genuinely complex layered signature that separates her from typical single-focus modern hybrid autos. The effect is powerful, euphoric, and relaxing, perfect for stimulating conversation, creativity, and peaceful disobedience — a delicious tropical dessert made to be shared.
