Today we have a large number of cannabis genetics of all kinds, from pure varieties, hybrids, polyhybrids, etc. Many consumers get carried away by trends and prefer the mainstream strains of the moment, but there are others who put originality first and are always looking for the most exotic marijuana plants. In this article we will see a list of exotic or rare weed varieties available today, I hope you enjoy it.

⭐ What is exotic marijuana?

 

It is a type of cannabis that for one reason or another is far from the usual, either because of its colors, aroma, flavor, morphology, or effect, although we also consider exotic marijuana those that are difficult to find. This weed is not as popular as trendy genetics can be, but if you think about it carefully it can become much more interesting because you can find unique traits or details that are impossible to discover in the most common strains.

⛳ What makes an exotic herb?

• Morphology: Some cannabis plants show a type of leaf that is not the typical one of 7 or 9 separate and serrated leaflets, in fact some of them produce leaves that do not directly look like marijuana. There are also others that form very particular buds, so much so that they are easy to recognize with the naked eye, and there are even some that combine a leaf and bud morphology totally different from the most common, to the point of being able to go practically unnoticed at first glance.
• Colour: It is one of the most sought-after strange traits in cannabis, surely because of how striking are the plants that have leaves and/or buds that are blue, purple, red, pink, black, etc. Within the rare types of weed, the colorful ones could be the most available because right now almost all seed banks have some genetics with exotic colors in their catalogs.
• Organoleptic properties: Sweet, citrus, or incense aroma and flavor is quite normal in cannabis, but have you ever tried a smoke flavored with chocolate, cookies, cheese or fuel? Over the last few years, organoleptic properties have appeared for all tastes, which, in addition to improving the taste, can vary their potency thanks to the entourage effect.
• Medicinal properties: Since medical cannabis began to be legalized in several countries around the world, all kinds of research began to be carried out, which has facilitated the appearance of new varieties that contain a special chemotype. Right now we have rare herbs available that are rich in CBD, CBG, THCV, CBDV, or even a combination of several of them.
• Rare genetics: In the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, dozens of pure strains or landraces were collected from many corners of the world, from South America, Asia, or Africa among other places. Once the first hybrids such as Original Haze, Skunk#1, or Northern Lights Strain began to become popular, the pure ones were left aside because the new creations surpass their predecessors in various aspects, but luckily a few years ago they began to look for again in different parts of the world those rare genetics that show qualities different from commercial hybrids and polyhybrids.

✨ Exotic Marijuana Strain Names

At this point we are going to try to classify the different rare types of weed depending on each quality that we have seen previously, because thanks to the work of searching, selecting, breeding and stabilizing the strange traits, today we have a large amount of exotic marijuana seeds available on the market. In this way you will be able to compare between different names of rare herbs within the trait that you put before the others.

Exotic Purple Yerba Varieties

• Pakistán Chitral Kush: This is a pure indica strain from Pakistan, so it is surely one of the first exotic colorful marijuana strains in history. It is not completely purple, as most specimens keep the leaves green, but the flowers are a very striking hue and are capable of producing top quality hashish with beautiful purple highlights.

• Purple Haze: It was the first famous purple marijuana hybrid, a variation of the mythical Original Haze that showed a clear dominance of the Colombian used in the cross. Jimy Hendrix’s song of the same title helped spread his fame, but he wasn’t referring to the cannabis strain when he composed this famous ’60s song.

• Grandaddy Purple: Within this list of colorful exotic weed varieties, it is the one with the most intense colors and the most medicinal effect. It is not as old as the previous ones but it is already more than 20 years old, it is a favorite in many dispensaries, and it is the genetic base of some of the best polyhybrids of today, such as Girl Scout Cookies or Purple Punch among others.

• Punch Strain: It is surely the most demanded variety of marijuana with exotic colors today, and the truth is that it is not surprising because it is really special. The breeders of the Symbiotic Genetics bank made it fashionable and crossed it with other great strains to create other champions such as Mimosa strain or Wedding Crasher, among many others.

Best exotic marijuana strains for their morphology

• Duckfoot: Named for the type of leaf it generates, because when the leaflets overlap, it reminds of the duck’s foot with the skin membranes that join its “fingers”, very different from the iconic cannabis leaf. It is a pure Australian variety from which hybrids such as Hawaiian Duckfoot or Frisian Duck have emerged, but its flavor and effect can be considered very mild.

• Australian Bastard Cannabis: Also known as “ABC”, “Bindi Buds” or “Cannabis Australis”, it is a very exotic mutant IBL variety due to the morphology of its lobed leaves and even its buds. From our point of view, it is a better strain than Duckfoot in general, with a greater amount of resin, a more powerful effect, and a flavor and aroma that is not bad at all in this crazy and exotic weed.

• Freakshow: Another super exotic mutant marijuana strain, created by the Humboldt Seed Company bank from an unknown sativa hybrid, although we think it may be related to Australian Bastard Cannabis due to the strange morphology of its leaves. It is a special plant not only for its exoticism, since for a sativa it is very fast, and its organoleptic properties are different.

• Doctor Grinspoon: Dedicated to the great Lester Grinspoon, a doctor known in our world for his faith in cannabis as medicine. It is a pure sativa of unknown origin, from the so-called old family heirlooms or heirloom. The particularity of this strain is the morphology of its buds, which look more like a bunch of grapes emerging from the branches.

Marijuana with the rarest medicinal properties

• CBG Time: One of the first cannabis strains rich in cannabigerol (CBG) and without a doubt the best of all the commercial ones. This genetics from PEV Seeds concentrates up to 15% of this cannabinoid, and the percentage of THC remains at an incredible 0.1%, so we cannot speak of a psychoactive marijuana, and only its therapeutic effects and its excellent citrus fruity flavor.

• Novarine: The Elite Seeds bank could be considered an exotic marijuana brand because in its catalog it has many strains that, due to their chemotype, are out of the ordinary in the cannabis seed market. Novarine produces practically the same amount of THCV as THC, and for this reason its effect is different from what we are used to.

• Auto CBD-Victory: The first autoflowering commercial cannabis strain rich in CBDV, which produces between 4% and 6% of this medicinal cannabinoid so rare to find in nature. It is one of the most exotic weed varieties because it is automatic flowering, feminized, with high levels of CBD and CBDV, and it does not get high because it hardly produces THC.

• Quatrovarín: A type of real exotic yerba mate because it is unique in the world. Another creation by Iñaki, a biologist from the Canna Foundation and a breeder from the Elite Seeds bank, specialized in searching for and stabilizing minority cannabinoids. The Quatrovarin chemotype shows a CBDV:CBD:THC:THCV ratio of 3:5:4:4, a very exotic medicinal product never seen before.

👌 Cannabis varieties with the most exotic organoleptic properties on the planet

• Chocolate Thai: Pure Thai variety that became one of the favorites in the 70’s and 80’s thanks to the quality of its sativa effect and especially for its aroma and taste of dark chocolate. Some current varieties such as Gorilla Glue or Chocolope XXL Auto have this strain among their ancestors, but if you have the opportunity to try the authentic one, you will enjoy one of the most exotic herbs in history.

• Banana Kush: When banana-flavored marijuana appeared, it marked a before and after in the cannabis scene. Created by the breeder Crockett through a cross between Ghost OG and an old Skunk/Haze phenotype, in addition to its exotic organoleptic properties, the exaggerated amount of large resin it produces should be highlighted.

• Girl Scout Cookies: If we had to choose only one exotic grass variety from history, we might choose Girl Scout Cookies for its cookie and vanilla aroma and flavor, its striking colors, the low proportion of leaves it produces, the massive density of its buds, or the large amount of resin that covers the flowers and leaves.

• New York Diesel: This genetic descends from the Original Diesel, which already had a certain aroma and flavor of fuel, but the breeder Soma crossed it with his male Hawaiian/Afghan and the touch of gasoline was greatly reinforced. It is so special because it does not leave anyone indifferent, normally either you love its flavor or you do not like it directly, with no middle ground.

• Quatrovarín: For lovers of exotic marijuana strains for its type of effect, since by combining the medicinal and psychotropic properties of up to 4 different cannabinoids, the entourage effect is incomparable. If you have not been able to improve your health problems with other strains, try Quatrovarín and compare.

• Freakshow: One of the biggest advantages of Freakshow is that it can go unnoticed in guerrilla grows, as it doesn’t look like a cannabis plant until the buds start to fatten up. If you like to make your own cannabis crosses, with these seeds you can give other varieties a freaky touch.

• Grandaddy Purple: One of the most exotic marijuana seeds of all time, and it is also complete in every way. Intense purple colors, fruity flavor, high production, great adaptability to different environments and cultivation systems and the most medicinal effect you can imagine.
