Chocolate Diesel is one of those marijuana strains whose reputation became much larger than its original release. Created in the mid-2000s by the breeder Maphial, also known as Santasmoke, it was never a mass-market seed-bank variety. The original seeds were…
Sage N Sour, officially styled S.A.G.E. ‘n Sour by T.H. Seeds, combines two unmistakably old-school branches of cannabis breeding: the pungent East Coast character of Sour Diesel and the spicy, cerebral personality of S.A.G.E. The resulting marijuana strain favors intensity…
Western Winds comes from a chapter of marijuana history in which Dutch breeders were still defining what elite indoor sativa cannabis could become. Created by Sagarmatha Seeds from genetic material closely connected with the original Kali Mist line, the cultivar…
Dancehall occupies an important place in the history of CBD-rich cannabis because it predates the modern wave of carefully marketed cannabinoid-ratio marijuana strains. Released by Spain’s Reggae Seeds in 2006, the cultivar combines the breeder’s celebrated Juanita la Lagrimosa mother…

Shining Silver Haze takes one of cannabis breeding’s most celebrated formulas—Haze, Skunk, and Northern Lights—and reshapes it into a plant that is considerably easier to manage than the towering tropical sativas that gave Haze its reputation. Royal Queen Seeds built…
Special Haze belongs to a small group of cannabis varieties created to solve one of the oldest problems associated with Haze genetics: the wait. Traditional Haze marijuana can deliver some of the most energetic and expansive effects in cannabis, but…
Special K is a reminder that cerebral cannabis does not need a twelve- or fourteen-week flowering cycle to develop real character. Sagarmatha Seeds built this Amsterdam hybrid around Western Winds, its highly sativa-influenced line related to Kali Mist, and paired…
Violet Thai comes from the side of cannabis history where patience matters more than compact plants and eight-week harvests. Tall, narrow-leaved, intensely cerebral, and rooted in Southeast Asian marijuana genetics, this cultivar represents a stabilized Thai line rather than a…
Danky Doodle is proof that memorable cannabis does not need a sophisticated name. Originally called Double D because of the enormous flowers produced by mature plants, this old-school KC Brains hybrid eventually received its more unusual title after the breeder…
