There are hundreds of cannabis seed varieties. There are so numerous cannabis varieties that no one can establish an exact count, as more are being bred. This is because the varieties are crossed with one another. Meanwhile you get every questionable cannabis seed variety available, 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 most famous cannabis seed strains are certainly Crystal, Chronic, Big Bud, Ice, White Widow, Northern Light and Super Skunk. But there are numerous other cannabis seed varieties than just these.

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

• Indica
• Cannabis Sativa
• Cannabis Ruderalis

Indica Cannabis

Indica cannabis strains are typically small and dense. Well adapted for the so-called "Homegrow", where you cultivate 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 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 stoned, creating deep relaxation.

Sativa

Sativa comes from the equatorial regions. This variety continues 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 small, between 30-80 cm tall. The plant has few branches, but broad, bushy and light colored fingers. As it has minimal THC content, it is rarely smoked but its genetics makes it very interesting for crossing.
