Earning recognition in the cannabis industry is not a simple task, but it's something Royal Queen Seeds is accustomed to, adding yet another award to their growing collection—silver in the Sativa Dominant Autoflower category at the 2025 Autoflower World Cup (AWC).
With hundreds of strains released every year, breeders and seed banks worldwide are in fierce competition to have their genetics crowned the champion. If you’re looking for success in the world of autoflowers, the AWC is one of the awards that matters most—a prestigious event focusing on the rise of autoflowering strains.
An action-packed week for Royal Queen Seeds
The 4th annual Autoflower World Cup was held on March 15th at the OG Club in Barcelona, Spain. The event showcases the very best autoflowering genetics from around the world, pitting them against one another in five categories, each judged by a panel of experts. The AWC prides itself on the following:
“Celebrating everything autoflowers, serving as a platform for breeders growers and forward-thinking to reimagine the future of cannabis”.
At this prestigious event, Royal Queen Seeds (RQS) earned silver in the Sativa Dominant category with their strain, Mimosa Auto.
However, it wasn’t just success at the AWC that further cemented RQS’ dominance in the cannabis industry. The same week, they were awarded the Best Seed Bank Worldwide at the International Cannabis Awards (ICA). Having received this award for the second year in a row, it is a testament to the seed bank's focus on putting growers first, not just with top-tier genetics but with informative blog content and a flourishing community.
Mimosa Auto earns silver in the Sativa Dominant Autoflower category
Given their success at the AWC, it’s only right we take a closer look at the strain that earned RQS their silver medal—Mimosa Auto. Developed by Royal Queen Seeds’ Technical Manager and Grow Expert Max Majot, it’s a sativa-dominant hybrid with an abundance of citrus and diesel flavours, alongside clear, uplifting effects.
It represents a clear step forward in the versatility and productivity of autoflowering genetics, with plants ready to harvest 9–10 weeks after sprouting. Even better, growers are rewarded with up to 400 g/m² of buds indoors and 130 g/plant outdoors. Those generous yields come with up to 21% THC to round out the experience. Of course, with attributes like this, it’s not hard to see why Mimosa Auto took home the coveted silver medal.
Putting growers first with top-tier genetics
Earning a medal at the Autoflowering World Cup is cause for celebration alone. However, taking home a second award for Best Seed Bank (Worldwide) at the ICA shows how Royal Queen Seeds remains committed to empowering growers around the globe. Not only are they constantly searching for the latest genetics, but they meticulously test each of their seeds for germination, vigour, yield, and efficacy, both recreationally and medicinally.
In addition to impressing competition judges, RQS’ dedication to top-tier genetics has built a legion of passionate growers in Europe and the US. If these two awards highlight anything, it’s that Royal Queen Seeds continues to be a dominant force in the global cannabis industry. Whether you grow Mimosa Auto or any seed from their catalogue, healthy, high-yielding plants await. So, in the words of RQS—grow higher!
