Royal Queen Seeds just dropped what feels like one of the strongest modern lineups of the year — and unlike a lot of breeders chasing old hype, these actually feel connected to where the market is right now.
Royal Queen Seeds Understands What’s Moving
Some breeders still feel stuck releasing strains that would’ve made noise five years ago.
Royal Queen Seeds seems to be doing the opposite — paying attention to what people are actually searching for, talking about and trying to get hold of right now.
Super Boof. Permanent Marker. The 2019.
These aren’t random filler drops with recycled dessert names slapped on old genetics. They feel current. Properly current.
No nostalgia bait. No forced “Cali” marketing. Just modern genetics with actual momentum behind them.
Super Boof — One of the Most Talked About Names Right Now
Built around Black Cherry Punch x Tropicana Cookies genetics, Super Boof brings the kind of loud modern terp profile people are chasing right now — citrus fruit, cream, candy depth and heavy visual appeal.
This is exactly the type of strain that feels like 2026 already.
Bright colours. Modern bag appeal. Sweet citrus-heavy terps. Dense resin-heavy structure. It ticks basically every box the current market reacts to.
And importantly — it already has momentum outside the UK. These aren’t strains being pushed into relevance. People are already searching for them.
Permanent Marker — Cookies Era Genetics Evolved
Permanent Marker combines Biscotti, Sherbet BX1 and Jealousy genetics into one of the strongest modern hybrid profiles Royal Queen Seeds has released in years.
Candy gas. Creamy cookie depth. Loud modern terp influence.
Permanent Marker feels like the next step after the original Cookies-wave genetics that dominated the market for years. Familiar enough to instantly make sense — but updated enough to still feel fresh.
Some strains sound trendy for six months. Permanent Marker feels like it has staying power.
The 2019 — Slightly Different Energy
The 2019 leans into citrus-sour, herbal and fruit-forward territory using Galileo x Arava Landrace genetics — giving it a slightly different edge compared to the heavier candy profiles dominating everything else.
This one feels more refined and slightly less obvious.
It still has modern structure and resin appeal, but the profile feels a bit more layered and less “dessert menu”.
Exactly the kind of release that stops a lineup feeling repetitive.
Meanwhile… Other Breeders Feel Behind
Not every breeder is moving at the same pace.
Some newer releases coming from competitors feel like names that would’ve landed harder years ago — before the market shifted again.
Strains like London Pound Cake, Banana Runtz and Thin Mint Frosting still carry weight because of branding and familiarity, but they don’t hit with the same freshness these new Royal Queen drops do.
Feels like Royal Queen Seeds are reading the room better right now.
Why Gorilla Listed These Early
We don’t dump every new release onto the site just because it exists.
If something gets listed early, it’s because we think it actually matters.
These strains have only just started landing through Royal Queen Seeds and still aren’t widely available across the UK yet — which is exactly why we opened pre-orders early.
We like being ahead of the curve with genetics people are genuinely going to care about six months from now — not just whatever name gets spammed across Instagram for a week.
