Also known as: Royal Jelly OG
Royal Jelly Strain Overview
Royal Jelly is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing the indica-dominant hybrid Jelly Breath with the sativa-dominant hybrid Royal Kush. This strain was developed by the breeder Symbiotic Genetics, who aimed to combine the potent effects and complex flavor profiles of both parent strains. Royal Jelly emerged in the late 2010s and has gained popularity among cannabis enthusiasts for its well-rounded effects and distinctive terpene profile.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds that are dense and resinous, with a structure that leans slightly indica-dominant. The flowers exhibit a striking appearance with deep purple and dark green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The name 'Royal Jelly' references both its regal appearance and the sweet, honey-like aroma that characterizes this variety.
Royal Jelly is noted for its complex genetic heritage that brings together multiple award-winning lineages. While not as widely cultivated as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and sophisticated flavor profile. The strain's genetics contribute to its adaptability in various growing environments and its consistent performance across different phenotypes.

Royal Jelly Strain Growing Information
Royal Jelly is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Royal Jelly responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in the dense buds during the final flowering stages.
