Top 10 Hybrid Cannabis Strains

For the bud enthusiasts out there, we know it's hard to sift through all of the cannabis strains on the market. That's why we're here to help. Hybrid strains are a mix of sativa, indica, and/or ruderalis genetics that have become increasingly popular. Each strain brings its own benefits and features varying ratios of CBD and THC.

THE BEST HYBRID CANNABIS STRAINS

Zamnesia has put together a list of the top 10 hybrid cannabis strains ever to fill a pipe; frequently used to alleviate stress and headaches, improve mood, and much more, these genetics are not to be missed.

10. FASTBUDS: GIRL SCOUT COOKIES

When it comes to quality cannabis, FastBuds’ Girl Scout Cookies is claimed to be the best Californian out there. It’s a fantastic, easy-to-grow autoflower with a strong vigour. What’s more, it has an outstanding reputation with bud smokers. GSC is an indica-dominant strain, with almost 60% indica genes and a sizeable amount of sativa in the mix.

This plant is simple to crop, with a life cycle of 8-9 weeks. Plants can grow up to 60-100cm tall, yielding about 500-650g/m² or 70-300g per plant! Smokers will marvel at the fact that this hybrid is loaded with 22% THC, inducing effects of mental stimulation, creativity, elevated mood, and physical relaxation. Taste wise, you will get a burst of cookie flavour, without the chalky, menthol taste. GSC produces a powerful high sure to leave you abuzz in both mind and body.

9. FEMALE SEEDS: RED PURPS

Nearly identical to Purple Power cannabis seeds, Red Purps is far superior than its sibling in terms of growth, taste, and overall smoke experience. Recommended for beginners, the growing process is similar to that of an indica, flowering very well indoors, or anywhere you choose. As far as taste goes, which undoubtedly is the best part, the smoke is sativa-ish, with a candy-liquorice flavor and aroma with a Purple undertone.

This fantastic female autoflower is usually ready for harvest around mid-September (around 50 days) and yields red and purple buds on plants that can reach heights of 1.5-2m tall outdoors. She is certainly something special to wait for.

8. ZAMNESIA SEEDS: STRAWBERRY COUGH

Strawberry Cough is a sweet sativa-dominant strain from the minds at Zamnesia Seeds. As the result of crossing Strawberry Fields with Haze, Strawberry Cough is fairly straightforward to cultivate and will reach heights of around 120–150cm, making her an excellent option for both indoor and outdoor spaces, resulting in huge yields in the region of 600g/m².

With an average of 19–20% THC on offer, Strawberry Cough delivers energetic, bright, and uplifting effects that are as invigorating as her flavour. Whether smoked, vaped, or made into delicious edibles or concentrates, Strawberry Cough showcases sweet berry notes that evoke sensations of eating the ripest strawberries.

Indoors, she may reach a height of 1.5m, but can reach a height of 3m outdoors, with a flowering time of 8 weeks or less depending on conditions.

5. AMSTERDAM GENETICS: WHITE CHOCO HAZE

This strain is sweet...no seriously! White Choco Haze by cannabis seed breeders Amsterdam Genetics has created a photoperiod, feminized marijuana strain. This bud has all of the WOW factors needed to stand out against a large selection of dank cannabis. She has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks, growing between 500-600g/m² indoors and 400-600g per plant outdoors. Additionally, she can be expected to grow into a medium-tall plant, reaching 120-150cm indoors and 200-300cm outdoors.

Mostly a sativa, and with over 20% THC content, she gives a powerful high that makes you feel like you’re floating with every step you take. She is especially notable for her taste characteristics. At first smell, this bud is super sugary and proudly shows off it’s white chocolate heritage when smoking. This strain can be used to help a variety of medical conditions, including depression, fatigue, poor appetite, and stress.

Though not as strong as some Amsterdam varieties, Royal Queen Seeds Bubblegum XL has sativa-dominant genetics. This strain is a 40% indica, 60% sativa hybrid, and has a high THC level of 19%. It can easily yield 450-500g/m² of resinous and dense nuggets, making it great for all types of growers. Bubblegum XL stays at a manageable height of 80-140cm when reared indoors and requires only 8-9 weeks of flowering. It’s important to pay attention to rot and mould in wetter climates.

After smoking, the effects induce a nicely balanced high/stone mix that makes you feel as if you’ve blown your own euphoric yet relaxing chewing gum.

3. CBD CREW: CBD THERAPY

The breeders of this strain deserve a collective round of applause for creating CBD Therapy, one of the first to ever reach a THC:CBD ratio of 1:20+!

The buds are typically harvested after 8-9 weeks of flowering and demonstrate fantastic results time after time, both indoors and out. Seen by many as a purely medical strain, CBD Therapy is a clear result of many years of selection and experience. Given the benefits, we can see why.

2. STRAIN HUNTERS: MONEY MAKER

One of the “OG” cannabis strains, Strain Hunters' Money Maker is a cannabis hybrid that’s been in the game for some time now. Short, bushy, and mostly indica, this strain grows fast and has an extremely vigorous attitude. It grows very well both indoors and outdoors and is capable of producing up to 1000g/m² of heavy flower clusters.

The smoked Money Maker has a sweet aroma and taste, releasing fruity, earthy notes that induce an intense physical effect. The CBD content of the strain is unknown, however, it can be used for a variety of medical conditions including insomnia, poor appetite, and pain.

Named as one of the strongest strains, our Zamnesia Gorilla Glue is loaded with trichomes sure to leave you feeling higher than King Kong overhauling the Empire State building. Expect to be blown away as this strain produces extremely potent and beastly buds. With THC levels 25% and over, let’s just say this strain is certainly not for the faint of heart.

Gorilla Glue performs well in both outdoor and indoor environments and plows through its vegetative phase, producing heavy, dense, indica-style buds at time of harvest after 60 days. This is the crème de la crème of “sticky icky icky,” hence the name. Gorilla Glue makes for an amazing lemony, earthy tasting smoke on top of her powerful effect.
