Royal Highness is another of Royal Queen Seeds’ medicinal cannabis strains. It was bred by crossing a strain called Respect with Dance Hall to create a strain that is very high in CBD production.
Royal Highness is 60% sativa and 40% indica; while it has a fairly typical indica structure when growing the effect is rather more like a sativa. It can be cultivated successfully both indoors and outdoors except in the very highest latitudes. Indoor plants will grow to 60 – 100 cm. producing between 550 – 600 gr/m2 in a 9 week flowering period. Outdoors these plants will only grow 10% taller with yields being a very respectable 425 – 475 gr/plant with early October harvests in northern latitudes.
The aroma of Royal Highness is a very pleasant combination of Skunk, Haze and ripe fruit and its flavour is sweet, smooth and rather Skunk-like. THC production is 14% and the levels of CBD approach this figure giving close to a 1:1 CBD:THC ratio. The effect is very “up”, a clear, active high with none of the heavily-stoned, couch-lock effect associated with some high THC cannabis. This type of cannabis is recommended for treating anxiety, pain, inflammation and as an anti-spasmodic.
