Since the development of modern crosses with cannabis plants, multiple genetic interchanges have taken place between the different continents. European breeders in the 90s have used US strains in the form of cuttings to develop their own crosses and produce new varieties seeds.
These US genetics were difficult to obtain by the domestic cultivator, particularly seeds to be cultivated in private gardens. Nowadays these limitations have changed completely.
The benefits of legalisation in the US
Since cannabis consumption was legalised in some US states, innumerable "new" strains from across the Atlantic have come to us in Europe. Certainly it is a joy for fans of these delicious, sticky and particularly potent genetics.
Within this wide range of varieties we can find hybrids with both Indica and Sativa trends, and with relaxing as well as stimulating effects. The US genetics have in common a very abundant resin production, intense flavours and generally a good cannabinoid concentration.
OG Kush, Girl Scout Cookies and Co
Surely it is easy to have heard about or even tasted the famous OG Kush, Sour Diesel, Girl Scout Cookies or Gorilla Glue. We would like to include in this listing new varieties such as Do-si-dos, Wedding Cake, Cherry Pie and many other US cannabis strains.
Every week we receive new genetics and hybrids developed from these varieties currently very popular in Europe. This is certainly a growing trend and no doubt it will continue for many years to come... which certainly it is not a problem considering the overall quality of these genetics.
