There are hundreds of cannabis seed varieties. There are so numerous cannabis varieties that no one 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 offered, but they are all based on the same plant, the Cannabis Sativa. Cannabis varieties can vary in effect, 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 many more cannabis seed varieties than just these.

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

• Cannabis Indica
• Sativa
• Cannabis Ruderalis

Indica Cannabis

Indica cannabis strains are mostly small and dense. Well suited for the so-called "Homegrow", where you grow hemp at home in a 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 stoned, creating deep relaxation.

Cannabis Sativa

Sativa comes from the equatorial regions. This variety continues growing during blooming, so Sativas tend to grow very large. In the wild, these can grow up to several meters high. The leaves are broad 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 high. The plant has few branches, but broad, bushy and light green fingers. As it has minimal THC content, it is seldom smoked but its genetics makes it very interesting for crossing.
