Sticky Queen Cannabis Seeds by Royal Queen Seeds
Sticky Queen is a resin-drenched feminised cannabis seed from Royal Queen Seeds that crosses two Kush heavyweights — Kosher Kush and OG Kush — into one compact, productive plant. With up to 23% THC and a 60% indica genetic lean, this strain was bred specifically for extract makers and flavour chasers who want trichome-coated flowers without fussing over a difficult grow. The name says it all: she's sticky, she's prolific, and she finishes fast.

If you're running a single tent and want to test the genetics first, grab the 3-pack. That gives you enough to pop a couple and keep one in reserve. The 10-pack only makes sense if you're pheno-hunting or filling a full room — and honestly, with genetics this stable, three plants will tell you everything you need to know.
Sticky Queen Genetics and Lineage
Royal Queen Seeds crossed Kosher Kush with OG Kush to create Sticky Queen — two strains that have individually won more cannabis cups than most breeders' entire catalogues combined. Kosher Kush brings the resin production and that deep, earthy Kush funk. OG Kush contributes structure, vigour, and the citrus-pine terpene profile that's made it a backbone of modern cannabis breeding. The result is a 60/40 indica-dominant hybrid that leans into relaxation without putting you on the sofa for the rest of the evening.
What we find interesting about this cross is how it doubles down on resin. Both parents are already known for heavy trichome coverage, so Sticky Queen doesn't just inherit the trait — she amplifies it. If you've ever grown OG Kush and thought "I wish this was stickier," well, Royal Queen Seeds apparently had the same thought.

Growing Sticky Queen Seeds: What to Expect
Sticky Queen stays compact indoors at 80-120 cm, which makes her a solid pick for growers working with limited vertical space — think tents in the 120-150 cm range where headroom is always the bottleneck. She responds well to low-stress training (LST) and topping, and that indica structure means a naturally bushy canopy that fills out nicely under a ScrOG net.
Outdoors, she stretches to 120-200 cm depending on pot size, soil quality, and how much direct sun she gets. Mediterranean-style climates suit her best, but she'll do well in Northern European summers too as long as she's in the ground by late May. The October harvest window gives you decent margin before autumn rains set in — though if you're in a wet climate, the dense, resin-heavy buds are worth watching for mould in the final two weeks. That's the one thing to keep an eye on with any heavy indica: airflow around those colas.
Yields are genuinely impressive for a strain this compact. You're looking at 400-450 g/m² indoors and 425-475 g/plant outside. Those numbers assume decent lighting (400W HPS minimum, or a comparable LED), proper nutrition through flower, and enough root space. Don't expect those outdoor numbers from a 10-litre pot — she needs at least 30-50 litres to really stretch her legs.
Sticky Queen Aroma and Flavour Profile
Sticky Queen's terpene profile reads like a love letter to old-school Kush genetics. The dominant notes are citrus and pine — bright, sharp, almost resinous on the inhale — sitting on top of a deep earthy base with a diesel edge that lingers. If you've smoked proper OG Kush from the early 2000s, you'll recognise that fuel-and-forest floor combination immediately.
The smoke itself is smooth, which isn't always the case with strains that push 23% THC. There's no harshness or throat scratch — just a full, layered flavour that develops as you exhale. Vaped at lower temperatures (around 180-190°C), the citrus and pine come through even more clearly. Crank it up to 210°C and the earthy, diesel undertones take over. Either way, the room smells like a Kush garden for a good twenty minutes afterwards. Your neighbours will know.
For extract makers, this is where Sticky Queen really earns her name. The heavy resin production translates directly into excellent hash, rosin, and bubble hash yields. If you're pressing rosin, expect above-average returns from those trichome-loaded buds.
Sticky Queen Effects
With up to 23% THC and a 60% indica backbone, Sticky Queen delivers deep physical relaxation paired with a mood lift that keeps things positive rather than sedating. The onset is relatively quick — within a few minutes of the first hit — starting with a warm, spreading calm that loosens tension in the shoulders and neck before settling into the body. The indica side is dominant but not overwhelming; you can still hold a conversation and follow a film plot, which isn't always guaranteed at this THC level.
The mental effects lean towards contentment and gentle focus rather than couch-lock. She's a good evening strain — the kind you reach for after work when you want to decompress without passing out at 8pm. That said, larger amounts will push you firmly into relaxation territory, so dose accordingly if you've got plans.
Why Sticky Queen Stands Out
We've carried a lot of Kush crosses over the years, and the ones that last in the catalogue share a few traits: they're easy to grow, they yield well, they taste good, and they don't require a PhD in plant science to get right. Sticky Queen ticks every box. She's not the most exotic genetics on the shelf — she's not trying to be. What she offers instead is reliability, potency, and that classic Kush experience that never really goes out of style.
Compared to Royal Queen Seeds' OG Kush feminised, Sticky Queen adds the Kosher Kush resin production and a slightly more complex terpene profile. If you're already growing OG Kush and want something similar but stickier (the clue is in the name), this is the logical next step. For growers who prioritise extract production, Sticky Queen is probably the better pick of the two — more trichomes means more material to work with.
The honest limitation? She's not breaking new ground. If you're chasing exotic terpene profiles or unusual effects, this isn't the strain for that. Sticky Queen is for growers who know what they like and want a refined, dependable version of it. Sometimes that's exactly what you need.
Running Sticky Queen in a tent? Pair her with a complete grow kit — tent, lighting, ventilation, and carbon filter sorted in one go. For extract production, a set of bubble bags or a rosin press will help you make the most of those resin-heavy harvests. And if you want to compare Kush genetics side by side, Royal Queen Seeds' OG Kush feminised makes a natural companion grow.
How to Grow Sticky Queen Seeds
- Germinate your Sticky Queen seeds using the paper towel method or directly in a starter plug. Keep temperatures between 22-25°C and maintain moisture without waterlogging. Taproots typically emerge within 24-72 hours.
- Transplant seedlings into their first pot (1-2 litres) once the taproot is 1-2 cm long. Use a light, airy growing medium — coco-perlite mixes or a quality soil with added perlite both work well.
- Veg under 18/6 lighting for 3-5 weeks. Sticky Queen's compact indica structure responds well to topping at the 4th or 5th node. Apply LST to open up the canopy and encourage even light distribution across multiple bud sites.
- Flip to 12/12 lighting to trigger flowering. Sticky Queen finishes in 8-9 weeks of flower. Increase phosphorus and potassium in your feed schedule during weeks 3-6 of flower to support bud development and resin production.
- Monitor humidity closely during the final two weeks — keep it below 50% RH to prevent mould in those dense, resinous colas. A dehumidifier in the tent is worth the investment.
- Harvest when 70-80% of trichomes are milky with 10-20% amber, checked under a jeweller's loupe or USB microscope. Dry in a dark room at 18-20°C and 55-60% humidity for 10-14 days, then cure in glass jars for at least two weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sticky Queen indica or sativa?
Sticky Queen is 60% indica and 40% sativa, bred from Kosher Kush and OG Kush. The indica dominance shows in her compact structure, dense buds, and physically relaxing effects, while the sativa side keeps the mood lifted.
How long does Sticky Queen take to flower?
Indoors, Sticky Queen flowers in 8-9 weeks under a 12/12 light cycle. Outdoor growers can expect to harvest in October. She's not the fastest finisher, but she's not slow either — right in the sweet spot for most indoor schedules.
What yield can I expect from Sticky Queen?
Indoor yields reach 400-450 g/m² under proper lighting and nutrition. Outdoors, she can produce 425-475 g/plant with enough root space and direct sunlight. Those numbers assume at least a 30-litre container or open ground for outdoor grows.
Is Sticky Queen good for making hash or extracts?
Absolutely — it's what she was bred for. The Kosher Kush x OG Kush cross produces exceptionally heavy trichome coverage, which translates to above-average yields when making bubble hash, dry sift, or rosin. The name "Sticky Queen" is a direct reference to her resin output.
How tall does Sticky Queen grow indoors?
Expect 80-120 cm indoors, making her manageable in most tent sizes. She responds well to topping and LST if you need to keep her shorter. In a 120 cm tent with a light hanging at the top, you'll have plenty of headroom.
What does Sticky Queen smell and taste like?
Citrus and pine dominate the inhale, backed by earthy undertones and a diesel edge on the exhale. It's a classic Kush flavour profile — old-school, full-bodied, and unmistakable. The aroma during flowering is strong, so a carbon filter is a must for indoor grows.
How does Sticky Queen compare to OG Kush?
Sticky Queen shares OG Kush's terpene profile and structure but adds heavier resin production from the Kosher Kush side. If you like OG Kush but want more trichome coverage — especially for extract production — Sticky Queen is the upgrade.
