- Mai Thai
Mai Thai is one of those cannabis strains whose tropical name happens to fit the flower remarkably well, even though its genetics have nothing to do with traditional Thai marijuana.

Auto Lemon Skunk belongs to an earlier generation of autoflowering cannabis, when simply combining recognizable photoperiod genetics with reliable automatic flowering was still an ambitious breeding project. Lowlife Seeds approached the idea with a plant it already knew exceptionally well: a lemon-scented phenotype of… Read more: Auto Lemon Skunk - Blue Slushie
Blue Slushie is a useful reminder that a colorful strain name does not always describe the flavor literally. Despite the “blue” branding, Raw Genetics’ original cultivar is not built around blueberry genetics. Instead, it comes from a rare Blue Cookie cut crossed with Georgia… Read more: Blue Slushie - El Nino
Long before cannabis menus became crowded with candy, Cookies, and gas-heavy hybrids, El Niño represented a very different vision of premium marijuana.

BC Sweet God belongs to a distinctly Canadian branch of marijuana breeding in which quick harvests, dense resinous flowers, and strong indica effects were treated as practical production traits rather than marketing afterthoughts. BC Bud Depot created the cultivar by combining two of its… Read more: BC Sweet God - The Magician
The Magician reaches back to a period of cannabis breeding when Skunk and White Widow genetics dominated Dutch seed catalogs and flavor descriptions revolved around fruit, spice, resin, and unmistakable marijuana funk rather than pastries and candy. De Sjamaan created the cultivar by crossing… Read more: The Magician - Bubble Cheese
Bubble Cheese is one of those marijuana strains whose name actually explains much of what appears in the flower. Big Buddha Seeds combined a particularly bubblegum-heavy Cheese selection with reversed Bubba Kush to produce dense, resinous cannabis carrying three recognizable elements at once: sugary… Read more: Bubble Cheese - Cetme
Cetme comes from an earlier generation of autoflowering cannabis, when breeders were still working to prove that automatic genetics could offer more than tiny plants and modest-quality weed. Developed by the Spanish breeder Pitt Bully, this compact cultivar took the celebrated AK-47 and introduced… Read more: Cetme - High Tension
High Tension is a meeting point between Colombian sativa heritage and several of the cultivars that helped define European cannabis breeding. World of Seeds developed the strain around Colombian Mango Biche, a long-flowering South American line valued for its energetic psychoactivity, then introduced Orange… Read more: High Tension - Psicodelica
Psicodelicia occupies an unusual place among sativa-dominant cannabis strains.

Its other defining feature… Read more: Psicodelica - Eye Candy
Eye Candy earned its name before the first inhale. Dense layers of resin coat flowers that can shift from dark forest green into purple, while contrasting pistils and swollen calyxes give well-grown examples the polished appearance associated with modern boutique cannabis. Yet visual appeal… Read more: Eye Candy - Arjan’s Ultra Haze
Green House Seed Co. lists Arjan’s Ultra Haze as an 80% sativa strain combining Neville’s Haze with Cambodian and Laos genetics.
