Seedstockers’ USA strains: have you met them yet?

Without a shadow of a doubt, the USA strains are the latest ‘in thing’ on the cannabis scene: easy-to-grow, highly potent varieties with a distinctive flavour; the result of many years of breeding and evolution that have captivated thousands of growers all around the world.

As marijuana becomes legal in more areas of the world, a growing number of people are thinking about growing their own cannabis. While there is a wide range of products on the market based on this plant, growing your own marijuana opens the door to a world of virtually unlimited possibilities. Needless to say, high-quality USA seeds are the key to getting off to a good start.

North American strains, and particularly the Californian varieties, have flooded crops all over the world thanks to their careful combination of potency, flavours, and yielding capacity, which have turned them into an object of desire for both growers and users.

What are the USA strains?

Cannabis cultivation has a long tradition in the United States despite having been prohibited for over 80 years. The current legalisation in many states has helped bring to light many of the varieties that were born in dark basements or hidden farms. These have emerged in the form of various kinds of hybrids whose best letter of introduction is their proven quality.

The US cannabis industry has also produced some of the best novel cannabis strains in recent years. Millions of dollars have been invested to find the most potent and tasty varieties. In addition, professional breeders, backed by one of the most advanced technical and lab infrastructures in the world, are always in search of the next discovery that will conquer the market.

This genetic pool created by North American breeders has also crossed the Atlantic and has been collected by seed banks like Seedstockers to make it available to the public of the Old Continent. Thanks to their own breeding and selection processes, these seed banks manage to create countless flavours and a multitude of effects that are combined to achieve endless possibilities.

USA genetics: discover all the strains by Seedstockers

There are currently hundreds of American cannabis seeds on the market. By the time a new strain is introduced, a completely new variety will probably have already come out, continuing the endless cycle.

To help you with the selection process in the face of such a vast number of strains, Seedstockers offers you an amazing range of US seeds that have been carefully selected for their quality and countless medicinal and recreational properties. We’ve also taken into consideration other factors, which include genetic diversity, climatic tolerance, and flowering times, among others. So if you’re ready to purchase some American seeds, keep this in mind: our selection and quality just can’t be beaten.

Nevertheless, even with all the options available in our catalogue, the decision can still be a difficult one. So here are some of our suggestions to help you decide:

Cookies strains

Perhaps no other cannabis family has ever spread its reputation as quickly as the hybrids derived from Girl Scout Cookies (GSC). Cookies was born in the early 2010s in a garage in San Francisco’s Sunset District, and Seedstockers got their version directly from California to create some of their best-selling strains.

• For instance, we’ve released crosses like Cookies & Cream, derived from the original Girl Scout Cookies, with the aim of obtaining the highest possible THC levels, making this hybrid an ideal choice for resin extraction.
• Sherbet is another winning strain that originates from the union of GSC and Pink Panties, offering the best of both of these genetic worlds: an energising sativa high fused with typically indica full body relaxation.
• Wedding Cake is another beauty born from the cross of a Girl Scout Cookies and a selection of the spicy Cherry Pie, which results in a super sour wedding dessert seasoned with intense touches of creaminess.

Relaxing varieties

If you’re looking for a specific effect, like escaping to another world where everything feels better, we can also help you out.

• We recommend our Gelato #41, which is the result of the cross between Sunset Sherbet and Girl Scout Cookies’ Thin Mint phenotype. This is considered by many to be the best GSC pheno; a very potent strain that delivers a powerful physical sensation and can offer temporary relief for the symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, or stress.
• Do-Si-Dos is another North American strain that is already one of the cult seeds of recent times in its own right. This plant stands out for its complex terpene mix and its super high psychoactive power, which is also comforting and ideal for the relief of pain and depression.

THC-rich strains

American breeders have also worked tirelessly for years to genetically select plants with a high THC content, so as to meet the demands of users who seek more intense psychoactive effects. Naturally, we also have examples of this work in our catalogue.

• Runtz is one of the most special varieties in the USA. It derives from the cross of the potent Gelato 33 and the famous Zkittle, resulting in an indica-dominant plant with THC levels of 25% (or over) when grown under suitable conditions. Its effect is incredibly strong yet highly relaxing.
• Bruce Banner is another variety responsible for the great evolution of cannabis in recent years. With THC levels between 23 and 26%, this beast can knock down Hulk himself. It provides great brain stimulation accompanied by a relaxing and soothing effect, and is also highly sought-after for its medicinal properties.
• Sherbet Auto, the autoflowering version of the renowned prize winner Sunset Sherbet, also offers the same kind of potency that’s guaranteed by the best ‘Made in USA’ strains of the moment, so you can expect THC levels of 20% or over, which are combined with refreshingly fruity mango or melon flavours.

The best hybrids

At Seedstockers you can also find other pedigree North American hybrids that captivate the senses and that you should definitely get to know.

• Gorilla Glue, for instance, is one of the most beloved American strains, famous for its incredibly high trichome production, which gives it a really sticky look that lives up to its name. This is pheno #4, born from a 3 way cross between Sour Dubb, Chem Sister, and Chocolate Diesel.
• Purple Punch is also a surprising strain that derives from the union of Grandaddy Purple and Larry OG. This is one of the top ‘Made in USA’ varieties, with a strong taste and a fairly fast flowering of only 8-9 weeks, whose buds can turn purple or reddish when the temperature drops slightly.
• Pineapple is another essential strain whose each and every bud is like a little pill of joy. These are dark green, with a rich trichome layer and orange pistils, whose flavours and aromas are loaded with tropical fruits.
