Hyperion F1

Hyperion F1: A High-Performing, Low-Maintenance Specimen

Hyperion F1 is a new F1 hybrid cannabis variety created by Royal Queen Seeds. Named after one of the 12 titan children of Gaia and Sky, Hyperion F1 is a tall plant that produces heavy harvests of dense flowers packed with plenty of THC and earthy, piney terpenes. Like all Royal Queen Seeds F1s, Hyperion F1 descends from carefully crafted inbred lines.

Out of RQS' entire line of F1 hybrids, Hyperion F1 is said to be the tallest, making her an attractive option for growers with enough space. Thanks to her mix of indica, sativa, and ruderalis genetics, Hyperion F1 is autoflowering and develops a tall structure with slender leaves before growing heavy with clusters of thick, resinous flowers. Of course, Hyperion F1 also packs plenty of potency and delivers effects that elevate the mind while relaxing the body.

Genetic Background of Hyperion F1: Unique Influences

Hyperion F1 promises to offer growers a “step up” from regular cannabis strains, thanks to its F1 genetics. Royal Queen Seeds made a name for itself as the first seed bank to commercialise true F1 cannabis hybrids with improved vigour, higher yields, better potency, and, most notably, uniform growth traits compared to traditional cannabis varieties.

Unlike poly-hybrid genetics, which exhibit a lot of phenotypic variation and are created by simply crossing two cannabis strains (which, it turns out, are often very closely related), F1 hybrids descend from what breeders know as inbred lines (or IBLs).

To create these lines, geneticists meticulously inbreed strains with desirable traits to reduce their genetic information and create homozygous plants—a process that can take several years. Once they cross two genetically different IBLs, the resulting F1 (“first filial”) generation of offspring inherit the traits from both of their parents and develop heterosis—i.e. more vigorous growth, heavier yields, and greater potency than that of the parent strains. Moreover, F1s boast uniform growth traits, which, in the cannabis world, have traditionally been hard to come by.

Hyperion F1 by Royal Queen Seeds descends from IBLs that combine genetics from Amnesia, Lemon, and Sin Tra Bajo Auto.

Amnesia

Amnesia has to be one of the biggest names in cannabis history. An old-school strain with mysterious origins, the original Amnesia was rumoured to have been created in the USA from a mix of landrace varieties. However, it really made a splash in the weed world once it was brought to Amsterdam and became a staple at Dutch coffeeshops. Soon after, breeders began experimenting with Amnesia genetics and created other world-famous varieties such as Amnesia Haze and Amnesia Lemon. If you're fond of the original Amnesia, you'll enjoy RQS' Hyperion F1 for her warm body buzz, cerebral high, and rich, earthy aroma.

Lemon

Lemon is another classic name in the weed world. Allegedly created by Dutch breeder De Sjamaan in the 1990s, Lemon is believed to stem from White Widow and produces crystalline, bright green flowers with, you guessed it, a super citric aroma. While little else is known about the original Lemon cannabis strain, its name continues to turn heads—even 20+ years after it was created!

Sin Tra Bajo Auto

Sin Tra Bajo Auto is an indica-dominant autoflowering strain often accredited to Barney's Farm. What growers love most about this strain is its ridiculously easy growth traits (hence the name, which means “without work” in Spanish). And it's these simple growth traits and her autoflowering trait that Sin Tra Bajo Auto passed on to Hyperion F1. Besides being an absolute breeze to grow, Sin Tra Bajo Auto also gets a lot of love for her potent THC levels and rich, earthy caramel aromas/flavours.

Aroma and Flavour of Hyperion F1: Skunky, Herbaceous, and Citrusy

Hyperion F1’s exceptional breeding really shines through in the quality of her flowers. Grow reports show that this variety produces dense, bright green buds with a tight structure, thick calyxes, and a sticky layer of resinous trichomes. Each one of her flowers comes packed with lots of THC and a delicious mix of unique terpenes. Particularly rich in myrcene, ocimene, farnesene, terpinolene, caryophyllene, and humulene, Hyperion F1 boasts a fresh aroma that mixes notes of pine, moist earth, and pepper. Some users also find her aromas and flavours to have slight citrus and Skunk overtones, as well as hints of fresh herbs like sage, basil, thyme, and rosemary.

Potency and Effects of Hyperion F1: Ultimate Physical Relaxation

Hyperion F1 is undoubtedly very potent, though we don't know its exact THC content. However, the dense structure of her flowers and her ample resin production are indicative of a top-shelf cultivar. Its effects, generally speaking, are well-balanced, combining a relaxing physical buzz with an elevated mood. While Royal Queen Seeds suggests that Hyperion F1 can be enjoyed at all times of the day, some users warn that she can produce a deep couch-lock effect at high doses.

Recreational Uses

If you have a high tolerance for cannabis and THC, you may be able to enjoy Hyperion F1 during the day or in the afternoon. However, most users report the strain to have a strong, relaxing effect, which suggests she's best enjoyed in the evening. Some activities that might pair well with Hyperion F1's strong physical stone include:

• Eating out
• Watching movies
• Playing video games
• Napping
• Meditating
• Relaxing outdoors
• Chill sessions with close friends

Potential Side Effects

Most users report tolerating Hyperion F1 very well. However, everyone is different, and the strain may produce some unwanted side effects in some people—especially those with a low tolerance for cannabis or who do not like physically relaxing strains. Some unwanted side effects that you may experience from this strain include:

• Sedation and couch-lock
• Anxiety and paranoia
• Poor cognitive function
• Dry mouth and eyes
• The munchies

Growing Hyperion F1: Abundant Harvests From Medium-Sized Plants

Like other F1s from Royal Queen Seeds catalogue, Hyperion F1 promises growers a unique new cultivation experience characterised by excellent plant uniformity, fast flowering times, and great yields.

Thanks to the meticulous breeding process that went into creating the IBLs that birthed her, Hyperion F1 is capable of producing extremely uniform plants that are simple to manage. Moreover, she is reportedly very resilient to pests, making her a great choice for outdoor growers.

Hyperion F1 plants will veg for 30 days before automatically transitioning to bloom thanks to their auto genes. After 50–55 days of bloom time (just 80–85 days after germination), Hyperion F1 plants will typically measure 60–90 cm and be rife with dense buds that are ripe for the picking.

Indoor Growing Tips

As with other autoflowers, Hyperion F1 seeds should be sown directly in their final containers. As soon as they pop their cotyledons out of the soil, give these plants up to 18 hours of light to minimise legginess.

Once they're vegging, maximise their growth by feeding them with an organic growth fertiliser and minimising all kinds of stress—though defoliation and light LST can help to open up Hyperion's thick canopy and ensure proper light penetration to all her branches. After 30 days of growth, you should see Hyperion F1 naturally begin to transition into her bloom phase. Before she does, light defoliation may help direct light to her lower bud sites, while a good organic bloom booster will help support the growth of her flowers.

Just 80–85 days after germination of your seeds, your Hyperion F1 plants will be ready for the chop.

Outdoor Growing Tips

For the best results when growing autoflowers outdoors, we recommend starting your seeds off indoors under grow lights and in their final containers—this avoids the stress of transplantation and also ensures rapid growth during the delicate seedling stage.

Introduce your plants to the outdoors once they've developed at least one set of true leaves, and be sure to put them in a location with as much direct sunlight as possible. Thanks to her resilience, Hyperion F1 flourishes in virtually any climate, and her brief life cycle makes her particularly attractive for growers living in areas with short summers.

Again, minimise stress when growing Hyperion F1 to make the most of her short veg cycle, and use some light organic nutrients for extra support both during her veg and bloom phases.

Should You Try Hyperion F1?

Hyperion F1 is a promising cultivar. The elaborate breeding that went into creating this hybrid promises uniformity and stability that hasn't been seen in the cannabis world before. Moreover, Royal Queen Seeds F1 hybrids also promise exceptional vigour and heavy yields of high-quality bud—all very appealing traits for growers. Moreover, users report that Hyperion F1 is also very potent and loaded with delicious terpenes, meaning smokers also have plenty to look forward to!
