Advanced Cannabis Seed Strain Knowledge Base

There are hundreds of cannabis seed varieties. There are so many cannabis varieties that no one can determine an exact number, as more are being bred. This is because the varieties are bred with one another. Meanwhile you get every questionable cannabis seed variety offered, but they are all based on the same plant, the Cannabis Sativa. Cannabis varieties can vary in impact, price, cultivation, appearance 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 just these.

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

• Cannabis Indica
• Sativa
• Cannabis Ruderalis

Indica Cannabis

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

Sativa

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

Cannabis Ruderalis

The name comes from "ruderal", a term for a wild 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 wide, bushy and light colored fingers. As it has minimal THC content, it is seldom smoked but its genetics makes it very interesting for breeding.
