Our Best Cannabis Seeds

Choosing the best cannabis seeds is essential to achieve healthy and productive plants, whether you are a beginner or have experience in cultivation. In this article, we will guide you through the most popular cannabis seed varieties in 2024, their characteristics, benefits, and tips to maximize your harvest.

1. What Are Cannabis Seeds?

Cannabis seeds are the starting point for growing marijuana plants. These seeds come from female plants and vary in genetics and characteristics. There are three main types:

  1. Feminized Seeds: Developed to ensure all plants are female, which maximizes yield.
  2. Autoflowering Seeds: These seeds flower automatically without depending on the light cycle, ideal for quick grows.
  3. Regular Seeds: Produce male and female plants, perfect for obtaining your own seeds and making crosses.

1. Gelato: The Sweet and Potent Delight

Type: Hybrid (Indica dominant)
THC: 20-25%
Origin: Cross between Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint GSC

Characteristics and Effects

Gelato is a strain with a notably sweet and fruity terpene profile, hence its name. It is recognized for its dessert-like flavor, with hints of citrus fruits, blueberries, and a creamy touch that many describe as a delight. Regarding its effects, Gelato offers a perfect balance between relaxation and euphoria. It starts with a strong feeling of joy that lifts the mood and gives way to a physical calm that is not too sedative, making it ideal for creative or social activities.

Tips for Growing Gelato

Gelato is not the easiest strain for beginner growers, but with the right conditions, it offers outstanding yield.

  • Lighting: Requires a lot of light to reach its full potential. If growing indoors, use full-spectrum LED lights.
  • Temperature and Humidity: Prefers temperatures between 20-26 °C and moderate humidity, around 55% during the vegetative phase and dropping to 40% during flowering.
  • Nutrition: Gelato responds well to a balanced nutrient level. During the flowering phase, make sure to provide a bit more potassium and phosphorus to encourage bud development.
  • Flowering Time: Between 8 and 9 weeks indoors. Outdoors, Gelato is usually ready for harvest in October.

2. Amnesia Haze: Energy and Lasting Euphoria

Type: Pure Sativa
THC: 20-25%
Origin: Cross of Haze strains and landraces from Asia and Jamaica

Characteristics and Effects

Amnesia Haze is known for its energizing and potent effect, which stimulates creativity and improves mood. This pure sativa strain is very popular among those seeking an intense and long-lasting cerebral effect. The aroma of Amnesia Haze is fresh and citrusy, with notes of lemon and spices that give it a distinctive flavor. Its effect is so strong that it can leave users with a feeling of "amnesia," hence its name.

Tips for Growing Amnesia Haze

Amnesia Haze can be somewhat challenging to grow due to its specific needs.

  • Growing Environment: This variety is ideal for greenhouses or controlled indoor grows. Although it can be grown outdoors, it needs a warm and dry climate.
  • Light Cycle: As a sativa, it requires a long light cycle in the vegetative phase. Indoors, an 18/6 cycle (18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness) is ideal.
  • Humidity Levels and Ventilation: It is susceptible to fungi and mold, so maintaining proper ventilation and reducing humidity to 40% during flowering is essential.
  • Flowering Time: 10 to 12 weeks indoors, a longer period than most varieties. This is typical of sativas and is compensated by a generous harvest.

1. Gorilla: Potency and Ease of Cultivation

Type: Balanced hybrid
THC: 25-30%
Origin: Cross between Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel

Characteristics and Effects

Gorilla, also known as GG4, is one of the most potent strains available, with THC levels that can exceed 30%. Its effect is very strong and long-lasting, providing a deep relaxation experience. When smoked, it has an earthy and pine flavor, with hints of chocolate and diesel. Gorilla Glue is ideal for those looking to relieve pain and deeply relax, as its effects are intensely sedative.

Tips for Growing Gorilla

Gorilla is a very resilient strain, making it perfect for growers of all levels.

  • Cultivation Versatility: GG4 is adaptable both indoors and outdoors. It is a resilient plant that adapts to different climatic conditions.
  • Nutrients: It is not a particularly demanding variety in terms of nutrients, but during the flowering phase it needs a bit more phosphorus to improve bud development.
  • Pruning and Training: The plant tends to develop thick and compact branches. Pruning large leaves at the top helps light reach the entire plant.
  • Flowering Time: Gorilla flowers in 8 to 9 weeks indoors and is ready in early October outdoors.
