I asked some of my favorite seed breeders to suggest their best cultivar for home growers. The stipulations were that each was easy to grow, adapted easily to different environments, and most importantly, that it had a distinctive personality. The breeders responded with some great suggestions for quality strains.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Each cultivar is handsome, above average and potently effective. A garden featuring these selections will provide you with a library of wonderful sensations to fit time, space and mood. A couple of the strains produce high ratios of CBD.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the list.:<\/p>\n

Parents: The Razz (Razzleberry) x P.P.D (formerly known as\u00a0Purple Panty Dropper)<\/strong><\/p>\n Indica\/Sativa ratio: 65% \u2013 35%\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Breeder: Nathaniel Pennington\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Seed Company:\u00a0Humboldt Seed Company<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Humboldt Seed Company recommends\u00a0Blueberry Muffin<\/a>\u00a0because it is easy to grow. It has a sturdy stalk and resistance to molds, mildews and pests. This strain pretty much maintains itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n Blueberry Muffin is a shorter stocky type 65%-35% indica\/sativa hybrid that produces bountiful buds for its size, beautifully tinged with purple flakes. With a quick flowering cycle of 45-60 days you will have plump, trichome coated buds before you know it.\u00a0<\/p>\n The variety grows well both indoors and outdoors, but it tends to stretch unless it is pruned to branch. Once pruned, it can be trained to a screen of green<\/a> (scrog).\u00a0<\/p>\n Both environments bring out the real blueberry muffin smell that has been compared favorably to the Jiffy brand blueberry muffin mix. The fruity aroma extends to the flavor of the inhalation. Leafly reviews<\/a> show Blueberry Muffin is the world\u2019s most aptly named strain. A heads up for indoor growers: Be prepared for pervasive terpenes<\/a> that tend to overpower other varietals in a grow room or greenhouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n Blueberry Muffin is also known for the fact that it seems to lack any paranoia inducing characteristics. The high is relaxing and happy and induces a positive attitude. It can be used when doing routine work, but it does not encourage creativity or mind wandering. This is useful for medical patients medicating throughout the day. It\u2019s also a good choice for individuals new to cannabis.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cBlueberry Muffin is a gentle strain that is here on this earth to help people\u2026 she wants to be given organic soil and real sun ideally, but she will provide her medicine whenever and however she is needed\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 \u2014 Humboldt Seed Company<\/p>\n Parents: Exodus Cheese X Querkle (Urkle x Space Queen)<\/strong><\/p>\n Indica\/Sativa ratio: 60% \u2013 40%\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Breeder: Subcool<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Seed Company: The Dank<\/strong> (Formerly TGA Seeds<\/a>)<\/p>\n When asked about a recommendation for home-growers, Subcool enthusiastically recommends Cheese Quake. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to grow and pretty to look at,\u201d he says. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s a heavy producer with purple leaves and an aroma that is a blend of fruit and cheese, which it inherited from its parents Querkle and Cheese. The buds are more round than cone shape. Cheese Quake grows well both indoors and outdoors. Indoors the plant is short and stocky. Outdoors, it grows over 6 ft tall given enough time without being topped. This variety is perfect for SOG when it is flowered early. Flowering time is 8-9 weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n The terpene profile is high in\u00a0myrcene<\/a>, which enables the high to take effect sooner because of its ability to allow THC to reach the brain cells more rapidly.\u00a0Even Subcool has been surprised at the intensity of the high. He describes it as \u201cmental energy that can be confusing, yet delightful.\u201d However, in reviews two thirds of respondents used the terms, happy, relaxed, and euphoric. Myrcene is also associated with analgesic and anti-depressive qualities. Reviewers also noted relief from stress and anxiety as well as muscular pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n Subcool describes the taste as a \u201cgrape cheese danish.\u201d It picks up the grape from the Querkle on the inhale and an exhale that is the cherry and the sourness associated with the cheese varieties.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cBy combining the grapey-lavender taste of Purple Urkle with the unique smell and taste of Cheese created a flavor so incredible it instantly became my favorite Cheese hybrid.\u201d <\/em>\u00ad\u00a0\u2014Subcool.<\/p>\n Parents: Skunk #1, Haze, and Afghani\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Indica\/Sativa ratio: 60% \u2013 40%\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Breeder\u2019s Name: Luc Krol\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Seed Company Name:\u00a0Paradise Seeds<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n When asked to recommend a variety for the hobby grower, Mendocino Skunk was the clear choice. It\u2019s part of the Tommy Chong collection.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mendocino Skunk is a very manageable plant because it does not get too large, accommodating growers with limited growing space. Size does not limit the yield. The plant is short, with a thick central cola and robust side branches. Indoors the plant grows up to 5 feet. Outdoors, especially in sunny climates and given enough time, the plant grows to 6.5 feet tall. It has a higher flower to leaves ratio and more dry weight than many classic indica skunk strains<\/p>\n The Mendocino genetics make this a good choice for growers in North America, Europe, and Canada. Flowering time is 7-8 weeks.\u00a0In developing this hybrid, Paradise Seeds created a high that balances the energizing qualities of sativas with the relaxing effect of indicas resulting in an experience generally described as positive and uplifting. Routine daily tasks can be handled as normal, and with even more focus. Myrcene, caryophyllene and limonene<\/a> are the dominant terpenes. And of course, there is that robust aroma of earthy skunkiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a challenge for us when Tommy Chong asked us to develop seeds that are called Choice of Legends, but we worked hard in our breeding rooms and we are super pleased with the final results.\u201d<\/em> \u2014Paradise Seeds<\/p>\n Parents: Charlotte\u2019s Web x Grapefruit Web F2<\/strong><\/p>\n Indica\/Sativa ratio: 60% \u2013 40%\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Breeder: Professor P\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Seed Company:\u00a0Relic Seeds<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Relic Seeds\u2019 recommendation of\u00a0Grapefruit Web<\/a>\u00a0is a variety that offers a balanced 1:1 ratio of CBD and THC. The mom, Charlotte\u2019s Web<\/a> is a legendary high CBD cultivar recognized for medicinal use. The dad provided by SowLow Farms<\/a> contributed a rich array of terpenes resulting in a very tasty hybrid.\u00a0<\/p>\n Both parents passed down performance as high yielders to their progeny. Grapefruit Web is a beast of a plant, producing enormous colas of massive proportions. The breeder advises that stakes are certainly required considering the girth on the terminal buds.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The plant performs well indoors and out. Grapefruit Web grows in the typical christmas tree shape with large spear shaped colas. There is a slight purple fade during maturation. Flowering time is shorter than average; 7-8 weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n Smelling like fresh cut pink grapefruit, the aroma and taste are refreshing yet calming due to the terpene profile. The top four terpenes are beta-myrcene, linalool<\/a>, limonene and pinene<\/a> balancing the alertness induced by pinene with the relaxation associated with linalool.<\/p>\n Grapefruit Web has an extremely inviting buzz, great for users of all levels. It\u2019s an even keeled head\/body high that is great for any time of the day. <\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s an easy plant to succeed with for several reasons: Easy to grow, large yields, and short bloom times\u201d<\/em> \u2014Relic Seeds<\/p>\n Parents: NL #1 x NL #2 x NL #3<\/strong><\/p>\n Indica\/Sativa ratio: 90% -10%<\/strong><\/p>\n Breeder: Sensi Seeds<\/strong><\/p>\n Seed Company:\u00a0Sensi Seeds<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Northern Lights<\/a>\u00a0is a classic strain and one of the most famous indica varieties. There are now many variations on its name and genetics. During its original development, Sensi Seeds was able to acquire one of three pure types of Northern Lights, and have maintained the intent of plant vigor and potency.<\/p>\n A petite plant averaging between 3\u00bd-5 feet, Northern Lights is fast-flowering, resilient, and produces dense, resin-rich flowers. Highly adapted to indoor growing, Northern Lights is a satisfying yielder that can finish in just over 6 weeks. It is very well suited to the \u2018sea of green\u2019 method. Because the buds are so dense, be sure to provide a proper airflow to prevent any humidity build-up within them. In cooler climates it will give excellent results when grown in a greenhouse. In warmer climates Northern Lights will do well outdoors developing into massive trees.\u00a0<\/p>\n The aroma is a pungently sweet herbal aroma with pepper and citrus notes and the taste is a flavorful mixture of sweet and spice.\u00a0<\/p>\n Although Northern Lights is a high THC strain with very little CBD present, the presence of the terpenes myrcene, caryophyllene and limonene result in a very calming effect. This strain is a great variety to relax and can be used to ease stress and pain. It is also well suited to people having issues sleeping.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThis strain is great one for beginners and experts alike and is available in regular, feminized and auto-flowering variants.\u201d<\/em> \u00a0 \u2014Sensi Seeds<\/p>\n Parents: (Afghani x Skunk #1) x Skunk #1<\/strong><\/p>\n Indica\/Sativa ratio: 80% \u2013 20%\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Breeder: Sensi Seeds<\/strong><\/p>\n Seed Company: Sensi Seeds<\/strong><\/p>\n Sensi Skunk<\/a>\u00a0is a potent hybrid, leaning heavily towards indica characteristics. The variety is a favorite with beginners and aficionados alike. Sensi Seeds specifically bred the variety for ease of cultivation. It has a vigorous growth pattern with a comparatively short flowering time.\u00a0<\/p>\n The plant is average in height with strong branches, easily manageable growth, rapidly-swelling buds and sizable harvest of thick, pungent colas covered in resin. Left to its own devices, this plant grows in a christmas tree shape with a main central cola. The plant can produce a large yield with minimal care; it is easy to grow indoors and outdoors.<\/p>\n Outdoors this plant\u2019s potential is truly expressed, producing high yields between the end September and mid-October. In temperate climates Sensi Skunk grows well in a normal warm summer. The breeder recommends cultivating below 42 degrees north, which covers American gardens from the Oregon-California border across to the New York-Pennsylvania border and south. This also includes Southern\u00a0Europe, parts of China and even North Korea.<\/p>\n Sensi Skunk delivers\u00a0an attention grabbing sugary-citrus bouquet that\u2019s uniquely different from the regular skunk funk. A refreshing sweet-citrus aroma infuses each bud. The overall effect of Sensi Skunk is a balanced one. Its effects will make you relaxed, happy, and euphoric, without being overwhelmingly strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cQuick to bloom, thick-budding and potent enough to surprise even a jaded smoker, Sensi Skunk is also very forgiving when growing and flowering, making her a strain that is actually quite difficult to mess up.\u201d<\/em> \u2014Sensi Seeds\u00a0<\/p>\n Parents: Cannatonic x Chocolate Kush\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Indica\/Sativa:\u00a0 35% \u2013 65%\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Seed Breeder: The Purple Caper<\/strong><\/p>\n Seed Company:\u00a0Purple Caper Seeds<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This strain originated from a CBD project designed to help patients with a range of conditions: pain management, seizures, and inflammation, and cancer treatment. The breeder crossed a high THC father with a high CBD mother. Both were chosen for their cannabinoid content, vigor, and yield, and the tendency to pass the desired traits from each to the offspring.\u00a0<\/p>\n Chocolate Tonic offers a 2:1 CBD to THC ratio. The typical gardener can expect 14% CBD and 7% THC, as well as small amounts of CBC and CBG.\u00a0<\/p>\n Chocolate Tonic is very versatile and can grow in any environment. It takes on a christmas tree shape with little branching so it\u2019s best to prune from above. Plants can reach heights of eight feet outdoors. It\u2019s a strong grower that can withstand heat, drought, and even being root-bound. Outdoors, when planted in May and grown in the ground or planted with 6-foot centers, look for a yield of three pounds per plant. Ripens in October. Indoors flowering time is 8-10 weeks. Expect 1.5 pounds per light.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pain relief is a key feature of the high. The numbing and relaxing qualities are also sleep inducing after a long day. Chocolate Tonic lives up to its name with a chocolate, piney, citrus\u00a0 flavor.<\/p>\n \u201cThis CBD strain grows like a weed and can handle abuse.\u201d<\/em> \u2014Purple Caper\u00a0<\/p>\n Excerpted from \u201cAsk Ed: Marijuana Success<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n TELL US<\/strong>, if you could grow any strain what would you choose?<\/p>\n The post High Quality Strains for Hobbyist Growers<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
