Handy Cannabis Seed Strain Seed Guide

There are countless cannabis seed varieties. There are so numerous cannabis varieties that no one can determine an exact count, as more are being developed. This is because the varieties are bred with one another. 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 effect, price, cultivation, looks and other elements. Some of the best known cannabis seed strains are definitely Crystal, Chronic, Big Bud, Ice, White Widow, Northern Light and Super Skunk. But there are numerous other cannabis seed varieties than only these.

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

• Cannabis Indica
• Cannabis Sativa
• Cannabis Ruderalis

Indica

Indica cannabis strains are mostly small and dense. Well suited for the so-called "Homegrow", where you cultivate hemp at home in your growbox. Despite the fact that the plant becomes relatively small (about 1m), Indicas yield relatively many buds. 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 mainly from South Asia. The effect is primarily bodily and makes you stoned, creating heavy sedation.

Sativa

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

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 tiny, between 30-80 cm high. The plant has few branches, but broad, bushy and light colored fingers. As it has minimal THC content, it is seldom smoked but its genetics makes it very appealing for breeding.
