The Best Mold-Resistant Cannabis Strains

Mold is one of the most common challenges in Cannabis cultivation. You can’t entirely avoid it because of how Cannabis grows and the environment they need to flourish.

In general, Cannabis thrives in warm conditions, especially during its flowering period. Additionally, plants transpire to move water and nutrients from their roots to their shoots. That causes the humidity around your plants to rise.

High temperatures combined with high humidity are the perfect environment for mold growth. It’s much better to grow mold-resistant strains and seeds than to find ways to mitigate the chance of mold.

Super Lemon Haze

Super Lemon Haze is easily one of the most popular strains on this list, for good reason. The Sativa-dominant hybrid gained most of its popularity and earned its stripes as a Cannabis Cup winner. But the strong citrusy flavor and smell of Super Lemon Haze made it a mainstay in the market.

Among the various strains of marijuana, Super Lemon Haze has held its own in the marijuana market for years. The Cannabis Cup winner has earned worldwide popularity that has not wavered despite the creation of new strains.

What makes Super Lemon Haze one of the best mold-resistant weed strains is how well it can keep mold off, thanks to its natural defenses. And as a Sativa-dominant strain, it can handle warmer, Mediterranean-like climates. But the best part; its high yield of up to 25 ounces per plant.

Choose between growing Super Lemon Haze from feminized seeds or autoflower seeds.

Tangie

As a strain, Tangie was an attempt to recreate the 1990s Tangerine Dream. But unlike Tangerine Dream, Tangie was made by crossing California Orange and Skunk-1. While it wasn’t a successful recreation, it earned its place as one of the most notable tangerine-flavored strains on the market and won the 2013 Cannabis Cup.

Other than being a quality citrus strain, Tangie is also mold-resistant. Tangie seeds produce hardy plants with a natural defense against mold and diseases. And while it does make tall plants, it’s not impossible to grow the strain indoors. But you need a fair amount of space to grow Tangie to its fullest potential. Doing so will reward you with a generous yield of up to 15 ounces per plant.

Tangie comes in both feminized seeds and autoflower seeds.

Purple Kush

Purple Kush is mainly known for its sedative yet relaxing highs. But did you know it’s also one of the best mold-resistant indica strains on the market? Outside of its heavy indica effects and high THC content, Purple Kush is also a hardy strain for growers.

Purple Kush seeds grow a potent Cannabis strain that originated on the Cannabis-loving West Coast. It is a pleasantly relaxing indica strain that also delivers pure bliss.

Some growers may find its mold resistance surprising since this indica-dominant strain tends to grow quite bushy. Its compact size can cause airflow issues in your garden, so you’ll need to do some pruning to maintain proper air circulation.

Besides being one of the best mold-resistant strains, Purple Kush is also a great pick among mold-resistant autoflower strains as it has an autoflowering variant.

Tropicana Cookies

Tropicana Cookies is a product of Oni Seeds Co and Harry Palms of Blood Seed Co. Harry Palms was the first to create the strain, but Oni Seeds Co. later developed the second generation. Regardless, both companies were on the right track in creating one of the most mold-resistant Cannabis strains on the market.

Afghan is one of the easiest mold-resistant strains that you can grow. Its genetics come from plants that grew in mountainous areas, making them highly resilient. That translates to their natural resistance to mold and ability to adapt to changing environments.
