There are countless cannabis seed varieties. There are so numerous cannabis varieties that nobody can establish an exact count, as more are being bred. This is because the varieties are crossed 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 effect, price, cultivation, looks and other factors. 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 many more cannabis seed varieties than only these.

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

• 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 yield 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 deeply relaxed, creating deep relaxation.

Cannabis Sativa

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