8 min

We've searched high and low (mainly high) for the tallest weed trees we could find. In that effort, we've compiled a list of 10 towering cannabis strains that you won't want to miss out on, whether you're growing them, smoking them, or doing both. Take a peek and find out if your new favourite strain is on the list!

There's something remarkable and undeniably impressive about tall cannabis plants. These green giants command attention, standing out in any grow space. But let's be realistic: they're not ideal for every setup. Sure, you can always look to tame them with various training methods, but you're only doing them and yourself a disservice, as these cultivars were designed to flourish. While they're not the best choice for low-key home grows, if you've got the space and don't mind turning heads, you're in for a treat.

Top 10 tallest cannabis strains

With that in mind, we've rounded up the 10 tallest cannabis strains we could find. You can grab all of them from the Zamnesia store and have these sky-high beauties delivered straight to your door.

Tips for cultivating tall cannabis strains

Tips for cultivating tall cannabis strains

As you might imagine, cultivating taller cannabis strains can have its quirks. But check out our top tips below to ensure you're on your way to ganja greatness.

  • Growing space: It should be no surprise that these plants take up a lot of room, so be sure to give them plenty of space (especially vertically). Measure the area so you know your plants can flourish without getting too close to the lights, ceiling, etc.
  • Big Pots: Similarly, you need to allow sufficient space for the roots to develop. Considering how these plants grow and spread out, a big pot should be at the top of your shopping list. You don’t want to be a few weeks into the growing cycle only to find out your plants are already root-bound.
  • Watering: With the sheer size of these monsters, you can imagine they’re pretty thirsty! Keep a constant eye on them. If you’re able to easily lift up the pots, the soil is probably dry. Water them when you notice the containers getting light, and you’ll be okay.
  • Lighting: Whether you’re growing indoors or outdoors, lighting is hugely important to the growing process. Natural sunlight will allow these plants to grow extremely tall, or you can opt for a little more control with indoor lighting systems.
