Practical Cannabis Seed Strain Knowledge Base

There are countless cannabis seed varieties. There are so numerous cannabis varieties that nobody can determine an exact number, as more are being developed. This is because the varieties are bred with each other. Meanwhile you get every dubious cannabis seed variety available, but they are all based on the same plant, the Cannabis Sativa. Cannabis varieties can vary in impact, price, cultivation, looks and other factors. Some of the most famous cannabis seed strains are definitely Crystal, Chronic, Big Bud, Ice, White Widow, Northern Light and Super Skunk. But there are many more cannabis seed varieties than only these.

Cannabis varieties can be split into four main categories/species. These are:

  • Cannabis Indica
  • Sativa
  • Ruderalis

Indica

Indica cannabis strains are mostly small and dense. Well adapted for the so-called "Homegrow", where you grow hemp at home in your growbox. Despite the fact that the plant becomes fairly small (about 1m), Indicas yield relatively many flowers. There are Indica Cannabis varieties that produce up to 600g per m² (about 4-5 plants). Indicas almost all come from Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Tibet, Nepal, etc. so primarily from South Asia. The effect is more physical and makes you deeply relaxed, creating deep relaxation.

Sativa

Sativa comes from the equatorial regions. This variety continues growing during blooming, so Sativas tend to grow very tall. In nature, these can grow up to several meters high. The leaves are wide with many small fingers.

Cannabis Ruderalis

The name comes from "ruderal", a term for an uncontrolled growing plant. Ruderalis is native to Russia, Central Europe and Central Asia. They are very small, between 30-80 cm tall. The plant has few branches, but broad, bushy and light green fingers. As it has minimal THC content, it is rarely smoked but its genetics makes it very appealing for breeding.
