There are hundreds of cannabis seed varieties. There are so many cannabis varieties that nobody can determine an exact number, as more are being developed. 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 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 just these.

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

• Cannabis Indica
• Sativa
• Cannabis Ruderalis

Indica

Indica cannabis strains are mostly small and dense. Well suited 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 buds. 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 mainly from South Asia. The effect is primarily bodily and makes you deeply relaxed, creating deep relaxation.

Sativa

Sativa comes from the tropical regions. This variety continues growing during blooming, so Sativas tend to grow very tall. In the wild, these can grow up to many 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 small, between 30-80 cm tall. The plant has few branches, but wide, bushy and light green fingers. As it has minimal THC content, it is rarely smoked but its genetics makes it very interesting for crossing.
