Researching the best regular Cannabis strains of all time was not easy. There are so many excellent strains to choose from, all of which have great genetics that translate to how good their effects are, their flavor, and how they grow. However, it wasn’t a bad experience, especially if it meant giving new and experienced growers a list of the best Cannabis seeds of all time.

How did we review them? One main factor was the strain’s contribution to the market, such as its popularity and other great strains it produced. Of course, we also rated their terpene profile and cannabinoid content. We didn’t focus on cultivar history as much since most strains on this list have unclear to downright mysterious origins, but we still included them as best we could.

G13

G13 is a great example of a mysterious strain. Rumor has it; the US Government developed it– hence the name. G stands for “Government,” and 13 is for the 13th letter of the alphabet, M, which is short for “Marijuana.” The story goes that someone smuggled it from the University of Mississippi and brought it to Holland, where someone made cuttings and spread them around.

G13 feminized seeds

G13 is one of the most famous unknown marijuana strains in history. Its origins are unclear. Its effects are unusual, and until recently, it was only grown from clones.

While G13 won’t have you sounding like a conspiracy theorist, it’s still a potent strain with a THC content of up to 24%, which delivers indica-leaning effects. Outside of its potency, G13 is on this list because of the many great strains it produced, such as Cannabis Cup award-winning strains like G13 Haze.

The best part about G13 is that you can grow it yourself with feminized seeds of G13 instead of trying to find someone with clones.

Blueberry

Blueberry has a long lineage that dates back to the 1970s, when people still had to use regular seeds, and weed still came in bricks that also had seeds. Growers at the time were experimenting with different strains, particularly Thai, Colombian, and Mexican landraces. One of the outcomes was Juicy Fruit, a strain that DJ Short then used for crossbreeding to create the strain many Cannabis connoisseurs cannot get enough of.

Blueberry feminized seeds

Blueberry marijuana seeds may be known for its tantalizing aroma and flavor, but trust us, this strain is more than its terpenes. Although technically a hybrid, Blueberry is a powerful indica that delivers a euphoric high.

Buy seeds

For a good reason, since Blueberry is as flavorful as it is colorful. The lavender-blue color of its cured buds indicates its sweet berry flavor and strong euphoric high. In fact, the strong, near-tranquilizing effects of Blueberry made it popular in the Cannabis community.

Grow Blueberry for yourself by purchasing feminized seeds or autoflowering seeds from ILGM. While there, you can also download our Plant Care Guide to learn how to treat your plants best.

Bruce Banner

When making this list of the top 10 best Cannabis strains, Bruce Banner earned a spot by being a potent and high-yielding sativa-dominant hybrid strain. While growing Bruce Banner is moderately difficult, it should be fine for experienced growers. You can expect up to 14 to 19 oz per plant with THC levels of up to 25%.

Bruce Banner feminized seeds

Based on the original prize-winning Bruce Banner, our signature strain is a perfectly bred blend of OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel. Bruce Banner is a mostly sativa hybrid.

Besides its large yield and strong potency, Bruce Banner is loved by many in the community for its flavors and effects. Its intense aroma of diesel and fruits created by limonene makes it noteworthy, but its strong mood-boosting and energizing highs make it one of the best.

Grow Bruce Banner from feminized seeds to save yourself the space and resource cost of male plants. You can also grow this strain from autoflower seeds if you want a much easier grow.

Cannatonic

Cannatonic is one of the best CBD strains you can grow. While it’s not the marijuana strain with the highest CBD content– that title goes to Harlequin –it’s on this list because it’s far easier to grow. Please note that the CBD content of a strain isn’t fixed. Provide the right climate and feed your plants the right blend of nutrients for each growth stage, to help them reach higher CBD levels. This also applies if you want higher THC content in your buds.

Cannatonic feminized seeds

The typical Cannatonic strain is a hybrid produced by crossing the female MK Ultra and the popular G13 Haze male. It was bred for its high CBD content (up to 12%) and high THC content, up to 6%. 

Buy seeds

Cannatonic deserves its place as one of the top 10 best marijuana strains because it delivers a long-lasting euphoric high while relieving and soothing pain and helping with anxiety. 

You can grow Cannatonic from feminized seeds sold at ILGM. You can also buy marijuana fertilizers to help increase the growth of your female plants.

Northern Lights

Northern Lights is not just one of the many Cannabis Cup award winners on this list. It is the Cannabis cup award-winning strain. It won best indica in 1988 and 1989. It also won the 1990 High Times cannabis cup. It is also one of the parent strains for Super Silver Haze, which won 3 Cannabis cups in a row from 1997 to 1999.

Northern Lights feminized seeds

This strain is what we call 'word of mouth' famous. If you've heard of any one strain, it's usually Northern Lights - and for good reason. Northern Lights seeds grow buds that drip with resin, it has a short flowering phase, and growers at every level love it!

Buy seeds

Northern Lights’ track record and the strain derived from it show how great of a strain it is. No wonder it has become a trusted name in the Cannabis community. What makes Northern Lights one of the best strains is the combination of how easy it is to grow, the resinous buds it produces, and its deeply relaxing, euphoria-inducing high.

You can grow the award-winning Northern Lights strain from feminized seeds, which guarantees you only grow female Cannabis plants or autoflower seeds for a quicker harvest.

Afghan

Nothing else comes to mind except Afghan if we’re discussing the most influential strain that helped shape the market. This pure indica strain is why we have weed strains such as Sour Diesel, Northern Lights, and Blueberry. Without it, the Cannabis scene wouldn’t have half the amount of strains we have today.

Afghan feminized seeds

Afghan is a very popular indica heritage strain that delivers a heavy-bodied high. Afghan seeds grow large, fragrant buds known for their happy, relaxed effect.

The deeply relaxing high its buds provide makes Afghan the best strain. With one toke, you’ll feel a strong body high that fills you with euphoria and happiness. It can be a potent strain, especially for those new to weed. It’s also a relaxing high that can make others sleepy.

Grow Afghan by sourcing high-quality feminized seeds from our store. We also feature an autoflower variant.

Chemdawg

Chemdawg is another strain that heavily contributed to the Cannabis gene pool. Thanks to its genetics, we have Sour Diesel and OG Kush– both of which produced their line of strains with either diesel or OG in the names. And to think it all began with a bag of seeds taken from a Grateful Dead tour.

Chemdawg feminized seeds

Chemdawg (AKA Chemdog) is a Cannabis strain that's surrounded by mystery and myths. Its parents may be unknown, but its effects are quite the opposite.

Buy seeds

Chemdawg’s pungent flavor of diesel is what made its genetics sought after. The breeders who got their hands on it focused on that trait when growing it. It also led to the development of other phenotypes, such as Chem’s sister.

While we don’t have Chem’s sister, we do have Chemdawg, which you can grow from feminized seeds. The one issue you might run into when growing this strain is mold, so we recommend getting Plant Protector to help keep mold and diseases away.

Super Silver Haze

Super Silver Haze is a potent strain that delivers a strong mood-boosting high that fills you with happiness and euphoria. Its sativa-leaning genetics are further expressed by how it boosts energy and creativity. But Super Silver Haze offers more than just a potent buzz. It also delivers on flavor with its two major terpenes: limonene and myrcene.

Super Silver Haze feminized seeds

Super Silver Haze feminized is a sativa-dominant hybrid good for a maximum all-day high. Super Silver Haze seeds grow a herb that offers a mellow yet potent high that lifts the mood.

The combination of its heady buzz and lemon and skunk flavor made this strain the back-to-back Cannabis Cup award-winning strain that we know. It does lose points for being a moderately difficult strain to cultivate. However, if you’re confident with your skills, you can try to grow Super Silver Haze.

Sour Diesel

Sour Diesel is a legendary weed strain with a murky lineage that traces back to California, where it was developed in the ‘90s by crossing Super Skunk with Chemdawg– or at least that’s how the prevailing theory goes. But while we don’t know its lineage, what we do know is that it’s one of the best genetic hybrids that managed to remain popular in the market.

Sour Diesel feminized seeds

Are you looking for an energetic, fun, and psychedelic high? Then you are going to love Sour Diesel seeds! Known around the world as 'Sour D' there's no mistaking its fuel-forward scent.

Buy seeds

Its popularity is attributed to its intense diesel and lemon flavor, complemented by its energizing and euphoria-inducing buzz. Its contribution to the gene pool also helped with its popularity, as Sour Diesel produced other strains like OG Sour Diesel and Super Sour Diesel.

Grow Sour Diesel for yourself with feminized or autoflower seeds. Do note that Sour Diesel is not an easy strain to grow, so if you’re new to Cannabis cultivation, we recommend growing Sour Diesel Auto.

OG Kush

To say that OG Kush is one of the most legendary marijuana strains in the market is somewhat selling it short. This Cali Cannabis plant is prized for its potent buzz and spicy herbal flavors. It is the top-shelf Cannabis that anyone can get their hands on, assuming they can, considering it’s always in high demand and supply is short.

OG Kush feminized seeds

OG Kush produces a mood-elevating, heavy euphoria making it great for people looking to wash away stress. Its blend of 75% indica and 25% sativa brings a balance between physical and mental experience.

Buy seeds

Part of why it’s hard to find this strain is the difficulty of growing OG Kush. Yet despite that, it’s still the cream of the crop among the top 10 best weed strains on this list due to its popular demand.

You can grow photoperiod OG Kush seeds or take the easier option and grow OG Kush Autoflower.

Conclusion

When it comes to growing weed, choosing the best has a lot of guarantees. And the easiest way to know if a strain is the best is to see if it’s popular. Well-known regular marijuana seeds will nearly always guarantee great genetics. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have the following that they have.

While some of the strains on this list aren’t the easiest to grow, they do at least yield buds that are sought after, making the challenge of growing them all the more worthwhile. And if you want Cannabis cultivation to be fun and easy to learn, download Robert’s Grow Bible.
