Updated Cannabis Seed Strain Cultivar Reference

There are countless cannabis seed varieties. There are so many cannabis varieties that nobody can establish an exact count, as more are being bred. This is because the varieties are bred with each other. 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 elements. Some of the best known cannabis seed strains are certainly 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 divided into four main groups/species. These are:

• Indica
• Sativa
• Ruderalis

Indica Cannabis

Indica cannabis strains are mostly small and dense. Well suited for the so-called "Homegrow", where you grow hemp at home in a 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 stoned, creating heavy sedation.

Sativa

Sativa comes from the tropical regions. This variety continues growing during blooming, so Sativas have a tendency to grow very large. In the wild, 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 an uncontrolled growing plant. Ruderalis is indigenous to Russia, Central Europe and Central Asia. They are very small, between 30-80 cm high. The plant has few branches, but wide, bushy and light green fingers. As it has minimal THC content, it is seldom smoked but its genetics makes it very interesting for breeding.
