Top 10 Spanish Cannabis Club Strains

Cannabis clubs are sprouting up all over Spain. Members are more than welcome to enjoy their marijuana on the premises. Recently, some clubs in the province of Girona have even made it a rule that you must smoke your sinsemilla onsite.

In the big city clubs with thousands of members and artwork adorning the walls, you can expect to pay a premium price for your cannabis. If you are toking on a budget, you could take a short bus or train ride to a smaller club on the outskirts of town or in a smaller city. When you get there, be sure to check the menu for any of the 10 weed strains listed below, as they are cream of the cannabis crop in Spanish smoking clubs.

AMNESIA HAZE (ZAMNESIA SEEDS): THE TROPICAL HEAD TRIP

Amnesia Haze is the top-shelf, 20%+ THC sativa on the menu in the majority of Spanish cannabis clubs. The tropical citrus collision of South Asian and Jamaican genetics is too tempting to resist. Buds covered in orange hairs have amazing bag appeal and have come to set the standard for contemporary sativa-dominant hybrids.

Growing your own: Amnesia Haze will test your patience in the grow-op with her lengthy 12+ week flowering period. But if you’ve got the time and plenty of pruning and training game, this is the high-flying Haze for you. Yields can be tremendous indoors or outdoors if you treat her right.

GORILLA GLUE 4 AUTO (ORIGINAL SENSIBLE): POWERFUL GORILLA-LIKE POTENCY

By crossbreeding Gorilla Glue #4 with Critical Diesel Auto, Gorilla Glue 4 Auto was born. As an easy-to-manage autoflowering cultivar, indoor and outdoor growers have an effortless path to a successful harvest with GG4 Auto. This specimen takes just 10–11 weeks to move from seed to harvest. Potency is the name of the game with the original Gorilla Glue 4, and the same is true with the autoflowering version. THC levels clock in at around 20%, catalysing an uplifting and creative high alongside dank, earthy, fruity, and spicy flavours.

With yields in the region of 450–500g/m² indoors and around 50–100g/plant outdoors, this small strain offers up sizeable returns of award-winning and flavourful buds.

BLUE DREAM (ZAMNESIA SEEDS): THE SWEETEST SINSEMILLA DREAM

Blue Dream has a cult following in the cannabis clubs of Spain. This gourmet blend of Blueberry and Haze from California delivers the tastiest two-stage head-body high. For starters, a creative and cerebral surge hits you within tokes.

As the session wears on, the second stage of calming physical relaxation soothes and sedates you—all while there’s a juicy sweet blueberry party going on in your mouth. At 18% THC, Blue Dream won’t blow your head off; this reefer is really more about chilling out.

Growing your own: Flowering over a relatively short 9–10 weeks, this sativa-dominant hybrid is one to consider whether you’re a beginner or a master grower.

CREAM CARAMEL (SWEET SEEDS): THE TRIPLE THREAT HYBRID

BlueBlack, Maple Leaf Indica, and White Rhino are the trio of indica legends that join forces in Cream Caramel. This heavy indica hybrid is a tasty trip to Dreamland. Her sugary nugs with alluring aromas of earth and sweetness can pack as much as 20% THC. Beware: couchlocking effects are to be expected.

Growing your own: Cream Caramel is a proven performer outdoors across Southern Spain, and is also a reliable indoor producer. Squat, branchy plants with a high flower to leaf ratio will race through bloom in just 8 weeks in optimal conditions. Growers of all levels will find Cream Caramel rewarding to cultivate.

CRITICAL+ 2.0 AUTOFLOWERING (SILENT SEEDS): BRIMMING WITH THICK BUDS

This award-winning autoflower has been wowing many a cannabis connoisseur with its production and potency for a while now, making it a hugely in-demand cultivar. As the end result of combining Critical+ and Critical+ Auto, all it takes is 11–12 weeks from seed to harvest for this skunky-smelling plant to do its thing. Once ready to yield, growers are treated to dense buds teeming with skunky flavours and 21% THC. 

As a plant that rarely exceeds a height of 130cm, harvests of 450–500g/m² indoors and up to 250–300g/plant outdoors are very respectable—certainly more than enough prize-winning bud to fill a stash jar or two!

CRITICAL KUSH (ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS): CLASH OF THE TITANS

The most coveted cannabis strains from two continents compete for dominance in the awesome hybrid Critical Kush. OG Kush and super-size Critical+ endow this 20%+ THC powerhouse hybrid with all the attributes the contemporary connoisseur could desire.

Perhaps even louder than either of her parents, this Kush hybrid won’t disappoint even the most demanding stoner. Critical Kush’s chunky, resinous colas positively stink of skunk-kush perfume. Knockout potency targets the body and mind almost instantly.

Growing your own: Ideally suited to the SOG method, Critical Kush can produce up to 550g/m² after 8 weeks of standard 12-12 bloom.

AK-47 (SERIOUS SEEDS): AWARD-WINNING FEMINIZED FIREPOWER

Known as the “one-hit wonder”, AK-47 doesn't play around when it comes to delivering a knockout cerebral high. As the winner of over 16 prizes, including several High Times Cannabis Cups, this strain is high on many connoisseurs' list of classic cultivars. AK-47 is extremely aromatic, and is thus perfect for smoking, vaping, or making concentrates.

Taking just 8–9 weeks to flower, and thriving in both indoor and outdoor setups, AK-47 delivers a large harvest of dense, fruity–floral buds—around 550–600g/m² worth indoors. Plenty for the beginner and seasoned stoner to enjoy.

LA RICA CLASSIC THC (ELITE SEEDS): THE IBERIAN INDICA

Eureka! You’ve just discovered the 20% THC melon marijuana made in Spain. La Rica Classic THC is an indica-dominant hybrid derived from genetics of unknown origin. But hey, a little mystery doesn’t hurt when a strain is so mouth-watering. A thick chunk of La Rica bud with her purple hue and thick coat of resin will have you salivating.

At first, your nostrils are greeted with a familiar earthy musk. When you light her up, the smoke expands to release the most pleasant surprise. A burst of fruity melon flavour fills your mouth while the relaxing physical high takes hold.

Growing your own: La Rica Classic THC is ready for harvest after 8–9 weeks of flowering. Highly recommended for those looking for a leaf less ordinary.

SUPER LEMON HAZE (GREENHOUSE SEEDS): THE SINSEMILLA SPACE SHUTTLE

Super Lemon Haze is a tall citrus shot of feel-good ganja. This gourmet green is a cross of Super Silver Haze and Lemon Skunk, combining the mood-boosting energetic high and zesty lemon flavour of her parents into a hybrid that blows away the competition. Super Lemon Haze is best enjoyed during daylight hours and makes the perfect herbal inspiration for creative pursuits.

Growing your own: The ScrOG method is favoured by most for maximum yield and to control the significant stretch during bloom. Super Lemon Haze's vine-like growth benefits from early pruning and training, and she finishes flowering in 10 weeks. For the experienced grower, Super Lemon Haze is the head stash of choice.

ZOMBIE KUSH (RIPPER SEEDS): THE WALKING DANK

Zombie Kush is the cannabis Frankenstein spawn of Sideral (Lavender Kush X Amnesia Haze) and Bubba Kush. This weed will take a great big bite out of your brain with every toke. But don’t worry, it will grow back, probably.

Under the influence of Zombie Kush, a person is likely to be possessed with the desire of a “walker” for munchies, but robbed of the motor skills to remove oneself from the couch. The initial flurry of euphoria gives way to an all too relaxing stoned sensation.

Growing your own: In the grow-op, Zombie Kush is a beginner-friendly indica-dominant specimen. Pack a SOG and flower fat colas without a fuss in about 8 weeks. This low-maintenance, high-performance hybrid will make even experienced stoners sleep like the dead.

AWARD-WINNING STRAINS ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF SPANISH CANNABIS CLUB CULTURE

As you can see, Spain’s cannabis clubs tend to opt for classic, award-winning strains and potent autoflowering variants. However, growers also prioritise production and speed, choosing varieties known to flourish under the Spanish sun. Finally, cannabis club members appear to have a soft spot for new-school varieties offering something special in the flavour and THC department. So if you’re lucky enough to be a member of one of Spain’s cannabis clubs, expect to see one or more of the above strains featured in their offerings.
