Hybrid Strains

Hybrid strains are actually the most common type of cannabis in the modern industry. While people romanticize Sativa and Indica because of their historical mystery and legends, many growers and enthusiasts would consider the best hybrid strains to be at the top of the cannabis world.

What is hybrid cannabis?

But, what are hybrid seeds? Well, we have sativa hybrid strains, indica hybrid strains and well-balanced 50/50 hybrid strains.

• Sativa-dominant hybrid strains - These are cannabis strains with more sativa genetics, however, they aren’t pure sativas and will still have small amounts of indica traits which makes them hybrids.
• Indica-dominant hybrid strains - Indica hybrid strains lean more towards the indica slide of the spectrum but still exhibit some traits of a sativa. Though they lean more towards one side, they still are an indica/sativa mix which makes them a hybrid.
• 50/50 hybrid strains - This type of strain is perfectly balanced with equal traits of both indica and sativa, hence the phrase 50/50; half and half.

Overall, hybrid strain seeds are so sought after because of their genetic balance; they often take the best traits from sativa and indica parents to create something wholly new and unique.

Top 10 hybrid strains list

Coochie Runtz

While some may be put off by Coochie Runtz because of how it is named, we assure you that you should not be. This is one of the easiest hybrid strains to grow and it can easily be considered one of the best hybrid cannabis strains, even if it hasn’t got the recognition it deserves quite yet. Coochie Runtz is one of the most recent entries into the ever-growing Runtz family tree and it is definitely one that should be one your radar, alongside another Runtz strain you will see further down this list.

Gelato 45

Another hybrid strain that’s easy to go, with ever rising popularity is Gelato 45. Despite being relatively new, Gelato 45 has already parented some other amazing strains. Gelato 45 itself is the progeny of two amazing strains; Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mints. Gelato 45 are close to being 50/50 hybrid seeds, however, because of the actual  60/40 split it is ranked highly among indica hybrid strains.

Zookies

The Zookies strain is unlike the previous two hybrids in the sense that it is actually pretty difficult to grow. Don’t let that turn you off but just be aware of the extra care you will need to take when growing Zookies. Zookies has slightly mysterious origins, however, one thing for sure is that Zookies has some real heavy-hitters in its lineage; OG Kush, Durban Poison, Sour Diesel and Fire OG.

Pink Cookies

Here’s another strain that’s a little more difficult to grow, the Pink Cookies strain. Pink Cookies seeds are bred from Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie which explains why this strain has such a nice balance of sativa and indica. Pink Cookies is fast becoming one of the most sought after hybrid strains and we think it’s only going to get more and more popular; you only need to take a look at this strain’s parents to see this is a future classic.

LA Kush Cake

Most hybrid cannabis strains have several legends about their creation, each pointing to a different set of parent plants. In many cases, people attribute the genesis of LA Kush Cake to the crossing of Kush Mints and Wedding Cake. LA Kush Cake has a name that just sounds timeless and classic. Furthermore, this is another one of the easiest hybrid strains to grow.

Watermelon Zkittlez

If you can say Watermelon Zkittlez without salivating you deserve a medal, if not then you are perhaps unaware of the original Zkittlez and what the addition of Watermelon means.

Jet Fuel Gelato

Jet Fuel Gelato is among the best sativa hybrid strains in the world and you only really need to read its name to understand why. Sometimes referred to as Jetlato, this hybrid strain comes from a cross between High Octane and Jet Fuel.

Space Runtz

Talking about hybrid strains that are out of this world, how about Space Runtz? A truly cosmic strain that leans more towards the indica side which can be grown with moderate difficulty.

GMO grows strong but it requires moderate difficulty to grow. GMO is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that brings a whole bunch of terpenes to the table with buds packed full of trichomes and beautiful orange hairs.

Sativa hybrid strains, indica hybrid strains and balanced hybrid strains

As you can see from the list above, hybrid strains are quite diverse in the sense that they often include differing percentages of sativa and indica genetics. Sativa-dominant hybrid strains lean more towards the sativa-side, although this rarely tops 70%, so they tend to grow taller. Sativa hybrid strains often grow upwards as opposed to outwards. Conversely, indica-dominant hybrids tend to grow more laterally than vertically, in other words, they grow squat and bushy compared to sativas. Although, they will exhibit a mix of traits and are not truly bound to the generic growth patterns of pure indica strains. Finally, balanced hybrid strains or 50/50 hybrid strains are composed of equal quantities of genetics from indica and sativa strains. These balanced hybrid strains have revolutionized the cannabis world and now most cannabis growers appreciate the diverse genetic profile of these strains.

Are hybrid seeds HpLVD free?

Yes, all of the cannabis seeds from Premium Cultivars are rigorously tested to ensure no trace of the hop latent viroid will be found in our seeds by customers. HpLVd-infected crops have a lower height, fewer leaves, and a closer spacing between nodes during the vegetative stage. On average, flowering plants affected with HLVd produce lower yields of smaller, looser buds. Cannabis plants that contract HLVd can have half the effectiveness of healthy plants, this can lead to a 30% drop in overall production. Furthermore, because Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd) is most usually transmitted via contaminated tools and equipment, cultivators should always disinfect their tools before working on new plants. If cuttings are taken from an infected mother, HLVd can potentially spread during the cloning stage. Because HLVd symptoms are not always visible during the vegetative stage of cannabis, it may be challenging to identify virus-infected mother plants. This is specifically true if the infection occurs later in the plant's growth when the sickness less visibly hinders production.
