Royal Garlic Strain Overview
Royal Garlic is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive aroma and potent effects. The strain was developed through selective breeding to combine the desirable traits of its parent strains, resulting in a plant that offers both recreational appeal and relatively straightforward cultivation characteristics. While its exact origin date is not widely documented, Royal Garlic emerged in the cannabis market during the late 2010s as part of a trend toward flavorful, high-THC hybrids with unique terpene profiles.
Visually, Royal Garlic plants typically produce dense, resinous buds that exhibit a deep green coloration often accented by purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. The flowers are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The strain's most notable feature is its pungent aroma, which combines earthy, garlic-like notes with undertones of diesel and skunk, creating a complex olfactory profile that many users find distinctive.
Royal Garlic is classified as a hybrid with slightly indica-dominant effects, though its exact balance can vary between phenotypes. The strain has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its strong psychoactive properties and long-lasting effects. While not as historically significant as some classic strains, Royal Garlic represents the ongoing development of new varieties through careful genetic selection and hybridization techniques in modern cannabis breeding.

Royal Garlic Strain Growing Information
Royal Garlic is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain grows well both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and some phenotypes may benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yields. The strain responds well to most growing mediums and nutrient regimens.
