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 crossed with each other. 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 impact, price, cultivation, looks and other elements. Some of the most famous 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 only these.

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

• Indica
• Cannabis Sativa
• Cannabis Ruderalis

Indica

Indica cannabis strains are mostly small and compact. Well adapted for the so-called "Homegrow", where you grow 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 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.

Cannabis Sativa

Sativa comes from the tropical regions. This variety keeps growing during blooming, so Sativas have a tendency to grow very large. 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 tall. The plant has very few branches, but wide, bushy and light green fingers. As it has very low THC content, it is seldom smoked but its genetics makes it very appealing for crossing.
