How to become the best marijuana strain in the world

Among the many varieties of marijuana that exist in nature, what characteristics should the best cannabis ever have ?

Regardless of awards and popularity, there are some impactful factors that make a strain worthy of inclusion among the best:

  • Genetics: having a good pedigree can be a success factor, although it does not guarantee the certainty of a quality harvest, which also depends on other elements;
  • THC content of buds: hereditary factors influence the potency of a plant's buds, as do environmental factors such as the type of cultivation (indoor/outdoor), substrate, lighting, temperature, humidity, etc.
  • Cannabinoid (CBD) level: the higher it is, the more it generates body and brain relaxation effects. Strains with high concentrations of CBD are therapeutic options used in the management of various pathologies;
  • Goodness: sweet, fruity, spicy, woody, floral…. the flavors and aromas of cannabis offer a wide range of possibilities to adapt to everyone's tastes and offer very different consumption experiences;
  • Ease of cultivation: stable genetics that give rise to plants that are easy to manage even for novice growers is certainly a plus.

The name is enough to evoke the tantalizing aroma that this variety releases. Chocolope was born after long and careful selection and backcrossing work by DNA Genetics breeders .

Unfortunately this variety has been unavailable from the parent company DNA Genetics for more than 2 years. While awaiting an unexpected return, we recommend a worthy substitute: Chocolate Haze by Royal Queen, an identical cross between Og Chocolate Thai x Cannalope Haze.

Chocolope is a hybrid between OG Chocolate Thai and Cannalope Haze - the result is a solid 95% pure sativa with a flowering time of 10-11 weeks. 

The sweet chocolate flavor combined with an incredible high makes this strain a favorite among many smokers around the world. Its high THC levels will make you feel super relieved right away.

Easy to grow - despite the high height - it has an optimal yield. Indoors you will be able to experience harvests from around 600 g/m² of buds, but we recommend keeping the dimensions down with ScrOG techniques. Outdoors you will have even more abundant harvests but you will have to prepare for a long flowering which will end in November "cultivable outdoors only in hot climates with long summers". This is also one of the reasons why Chocolope boasts numerous awards.

Its structure is quite compact for a dominant sativa and reaches medium heights with long, wide leaves and a medium distance between nodes and leaves. Indoor production is around 600 g/m2, but outdoors you should expect even more abundant yields of around 1,200 g per specimen.

How to choose the best cannabis seeds

It was not at all easy to draw up this list and above all to choose only 10 among the hundreds of thousands of different varieties of cannabis. There are many other varieties of cannabis that have made Italian growers dream in the last twenty years. Unfortunately it would be difficult to mention them all. 

In addition to the aforementioned varieties, we would like to point out some Seeds Banks that produce seeds for true connoisseurs. The proven quality of their genetics, which make them unique, confirms the great hybridization work carried out.

  • Karma Genetics
  • Purple City Genetics
  • Old School Genetics
  • Aficionado French Connection

    • Thanks to the tireless work of breeders from all over the world and the continuous search for the most famous seed banks, new ones are created every day. Such a wide range of strains and varieties of weed can cause confusion and make choosing a grower complicated.

    Cannabinoid content can be a discriminator. But rather than just looking at the THC level, the complete mix of taste, terpenes and cannabinoids should be evaluated . In fact, many growers prefer to choose varieties with tasty terpene profiles and rich and particular aromas.

    Ultimately, since the taste of cannabis is something subjective, our advice is to explore the immense cannabis market guided by your own preferences, compare one strain with another, experiment with the effects, until you find the best feminized cannabis varieties , but the quality of marijuana best suited for you.
