Austrian Queen

Austrian Queen is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 17-23% on average, with 0.2% CBD. It is sold as feminized seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Austrian Queen high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. Because of these effects, Austrian Queen is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

On the palate, expect pine and diesel up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a pine-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has dense grape-shaped olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, fiery orange hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

For growers, Austrian Queen offers an easy, forgiving grow that suits first-time cultivators — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. It shrugs off common beginner mistakes, and yields stay respectable even when conditions are less than perfect. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Austrian family — see Austrian Sunpower and Austrian Sour Flower for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
