Royal Salute

Hybrid

What is the Royal Salute strain?

Royal Salute is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Royal Salute is a slightly sativa dominant hybrid strain (60% sativa/40% indica) created through crossing the infamous Royal Sour X Long Valley Secret Sauce strains, bred by Aficionado Seeds. This strain has gained recognition in the cannabis community for its unique lineage and balanced effects. With its robust parentage of 2013 Royal Sour and Long Valley Secret Sauce, Royal Salute offers an invigorating experience that showcases the very best of Sativa dominance, though sources indicate it may actually be more of a balanced hybrid. The Long-Valley Secret Sauce is rumored to be one of the earliest fuel strains in existence and for over a decade was shared strictly between a small group of elite cultivators, adding to the mystique surrounding this strain's heritage.

Royal Salute presents visually striking characteristics with dense small rounded bright neon green nugs with thin amber hairs and a coating of frosty tiny golden crystal trichomes. The strain's flavor profile is complex and distinctive, featuring a sweet yet sour lemon vanilla flavor with a rich creamy mint exhale accompanied by an aroma of sour citrus and lime with a hint of mint and spices. Some users report detecting vanilla, lemon, and a minty taste while hints of paint thinner and even hairspray sometimes poke their heads in to say hello, creating a nuanced and sometimes polarizing flavor experience that appeals to connoisseurs seeking complex terpene profiles.
