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 bred. This is because the varieties are bred with one another. 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, appearance 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 numerous other cannabis seed varieties than only these.

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

• Indica
• Cannabis Sativa
• Cannabis Ruderalis

Indica

Indica cannabis strains are typically small and compact. Well suited for the so-called "Homegrow", where you cultivate hemp at home in your growbox. Despite the fact that the plant becomes relatively small (about 1m), Indicas produce 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 primarily from South Asia. The effect is more physical and makes you stoned, creating deep relaxation.

Cannabis Sativa

Sativa comes from the tropical regions. This variety continues growing during blooming, so Sativas have a tendency to grow very tall. In nature, 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 a wild growing plant. Ruderalis is native to Russia, Central Europe and Central Asia. They are very small, between 30-80 cm high. The plant has very few branches, but broad, bushy and light colored fingers. As it has very low THC content, it is rarely smoked but its genetics makes it very appealing for breeding.
