Manufacturer: Mandala Seeds
Speed Queen (the fastest strain from Mandalaseeds) is a short and vigorous indica with a thick main stem (green or purple in colour) and fleshy leaves. One phenotype exudes a delicious orange and citrus flavour. The other pheno mixes this freshness with a spicy, skunky scent. This Indica is suitable for growing spaces where shorter plants are required. Outdoor cultivation in the ground is possible up to 45° latitude or in a greenhouse. Mandala varieties are very efficient in the absorption and utilisation of nutrients. They grow excellently with low doses of fertiliser in high-quality soil. Because of their vigour and short time, Speed Queen is perfect for beginners. SOG gardens also benefit from this variety.

Mandala Seeds started back in 2004 with Mike and Jasmin at the helm. They work only with strains that meet very strict quality checks, which gives growers a steady and trustworthy source for seeds. Every strain they release has some landrace genetics in the mix. That is because Mike and Jasmin spent years travelling through the Indian subcontinent and other regions during the 1980s and 1990s, collecting and building a gene pool that is hard to match.
