Our updated Amsterdamned Mix Pack matches three best-selling Dutch coffee shop favorites. It combines a balanced hybrid, a pure indica, and a sativa-heavy cultivar. The THC ranges from high to stratospheric, with delectable flavors, diverse effects, and huge yields.
Holland and its iconic cannabis capital remain the center of the marijuana breeding universe. However, the city's days as the world's premier pot destination look numbered.
There's no better test of the latest, greatest strains than the opinions of practiced tokers from the “city of canals.” These three epic feminized strains are the most popular. Let's dig straight into the mix.
Gorilla Glue #4 feminized
Breeders happened upon this gooey strain by happy accident. Gorilla Glue #4 feminized seeds originated from unintentional hermaphroditic pollination.
Breeders Joesy Whales and Lone Watty weren't happy about it, giving away most of the weed. They germinated a handful of saved seeds without much expectation. Their persistence spawned an incredibly sticky character with sky-high THC levels.
Also known as Original Glue, GG4 earned its name from the treacly mess it made of the trimming clippers.
The strain's reputation and trademark gumminess garnered the acclaim it deserved in 2014. It won first place in the Medical Cannabis Cups in Michigan and Los Angeles to cement its status.
You can grow GG4 indoors or out. These cannabis seeds sprout naturally hardy, pest-resistant plants. Given its origins, you need to watch for signs of nanners or hermie sacs indicating hermaphroditism. Keep stress to a minimum to avoid hermies.
These hybrid cannabis seeds grow plants that usually reach about four and a half feet. An extended vegetative phase can cause stretching during flowering, with space issues possible.
Temperatures should remain between 70–80⁰ F in indoor operations. Growers taper relative humidity (RH) down from 60–70% in the vegetative stage to 40% or even lower during bloom.
Flowering takes 8–10 weeks, and indoor farmers can look forward to a generous yield of 18–21 oz./m².
If you're growing outdoors, germinate your seeds in time for the plants to flower during the summer heat. GG4 produces a massive 25–28 oz. of epic gooey buds per plant. They mature by mid-October.
Amnesia Haze feminized
This award-winning cultivar produces unforgettable, sativa-strong buds that inspire and motivate. High THC and energetic effects make it an excellent wake-and-bake strain.
The overall winner at the 2004 High Times Cannabis Cup, Amnesia Haze feminized seeds also won Best Sativa in 2012, highlighting its enduring appeal.
This strain is a proper melting pot. The Californian Haze brothers' created their super sativa Original Haze (aka OG Haze) in the '60s from four unique landrace sativas.
The Mexican, Colombian, South Asian, and Thai markers combined for one of the most formidable sativa strains.
Breeders backcrossed Haze with several other landrace sativas to create Amnesia Haze. Thai, Afghani, Cambodian, Jamaican, South Asian, and Hawaiian genotypes combine to form this heavy-hitter.
The result is an 80:20 sativa-to-indica ratio that boosts happiness. While THC levels of 22% are more common these days, it's still a potent strain that may be overwhelming to novices or infrequent users.
This strain requires experience to reap the potential rewards. Plants don't grow much above four feet, but growing conditions are critical. If you meet their needs, you'll probably harvest a bumper crop.
Consistent, warm temperatures and RH of 40–60% are perfect. Compact plants and dense foliage can lead to problems with mold or mildew, so you may need to trim or prune to improve aeration.
This strain adapts well to indoor cultivation. You could yield 21–23 oz./m² of Amnesia Haze bud in an optimum environment.
Outdoor growers need a warm, consistent climate. You could collect a hefty 28 oz. per plant by late October.
Purple Kush feminized
Purple Kush is a colorful mix of Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani. It's a pure indica cultivar with stable genetics and wide-ranging effects.
You can grow these seeds indoors, outside, or in a greenhouse. This strain requires some TLC, and cultivators with experience will likely produce substantial harvests.
The plants are typically short and squat indicas, maxing out at three feet tall. They're ideal for indoor cultivation. You may need to employ some pruning and trimming to improve airflow.
These crops are suited to the Sea of Green (SOG) or Screen of Green (ScroG) techniques. These methods boost growth and output by forcing vertical shoots to grow horizontally, increasing light coverage.
Purple Kush feminized seeds grow plants that charge through the flowering stage in 6–8 weeks. In prime conditions, you can expect a moderate yield of 14–18 oz./m².
Outdoors, this strain flourishes in warm Mediterranean climates. Trichomes on the mauve-tinged flowers turn cloudy near the end of September, denoting the imminent harvest. In complementary conditions, you could gather almost 21 oz. per plant.
This strain has a sweet, fruity flavor and aroma. When combusted, the flowers emit a berry-strong fruit salad tang with subtle wooden or earthy tones on the exhale.
