✅ Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is the best marijuana in California?

Being objective, we must highlight 2 works above the rest, both created during the 1970s, Original Haze and Skunk#1. Original Haze is the best sativa hybrid in history without a doubt, a genetic amalgam that mixes Colombian, Mexican, Thai and Indian varieties, from which champion polyhybrids such as Amnesia, Jack Herer, or Super Silver Haze, among many others, have emerged. Skunk #1 was a revolution because it is so hardy that anyone can grow it almost anywhere in the world, and it will always give good results in terms of yield and quality. Original Haze and Skunk have left a cannabis legacy that continues to spread throughout the world today, but a few years ago they stopped being in the top 10 of California’s favorites due to the number of good strains that come out of this land.

 

What is the most popular variety in California in the year 2022?

Based on the public’s own demand, Wedding Cake would be the most popular marijuana strain in California today, but if you look at sales from seed banks and clone dispensaries, Runtz is the favorite. On the other hand, if we look at the rankings that other companies have created, Blue Dream Strain remains the quintessential Californian strain. If we take into account the genetics that have grown the most during the last year, Apple Fritter Strain, Gushers, and Cereal Milk are the ones that have had the greatest projection.

    They are all ok Most all my smoking friends want organically grown. Anything you grow will be far superior than store bot. 2010 Mazaar gelato. Juicy melon. Animal mints. Whatever genetics that get you to the right gear is the right genetic. You can go consumer grade or better. All it takes is spending money. Triangle kush. Emerald og. Think about it. Ain’t nothing bad. Get mothertounge if you can.

    To me. All those cookies strains are draggy and it’s basically a Burmese kush pheno that it was based from. Those guys that made cookies. live west of me and we probably shop at the same Safeway food store on Noriega st. If you read that bs story that he got the pheno from his momma. It reads kinda fake but it’s about right. Plenty of good growers in the city and state and that’s how I shop. PEV. Is a great seed bank with genetics I trust if I had the wherewithal to buy from them. I grow different from PEV. But there are many methods to grow strategies. Thank you.
