Godfather OG
HybridTHC 27–27%
Godfather OG got its name from being possibly the strongest OG-derivative, as this indica-dominant hybrid Alpha OG and XXX OG is one of the most potent hybrids of all time.
Some tests put this strain as high as 27% THC, so it's no wonder why Godfather OG won Best Indica at the 2013 Los Angeles High Times Cannabis Cup.
Patients have explained that Godfather OG is a very sedative strain, delivering unmatched physical relaxation while brightening the mind, leaving its user feeling creative and happy.
Godfather OG's buds produce a musky, spicy aroma, but when smoked you will taste a sweet grape flavor that is shockingly nice.
Maui Wowie
SativaTHC 18–22%
Maui Wowie is a legendary sativa strain that provides an ideal cerebral buzz full of euphoria, energy, and creativity.
This strain's uplifting and focused head effect will begin as soon as you smoke or vape Maui Wowie, followed by a stimulating and energetic physical buzz.
Buds of Maui Wowie are notoriously large and have a lime green hue, and each bud is covered in a thick coat of sparkling trichomes and a few mango-colored pistils.
THC levels of Maui Wowie tend to hover between 18-22% THC, and you can expect these flowers to have a sweet lemon, grapefruit, and mango flavor.
NYC Diesel
HybridSoma Sacred Seeds introduced the world to NYC Diesel, a mostly sativa strain that blends a Hawaiian and Afghani hybrid with Sour Diesel Genetics.
NYC Diesel's buds tend to be particularly fluffy and olive green in color, their trichome-covered calyxes interrupted by thick peach pistils.
Expect NYC Diesel's effects to deliver uplifting head effects that induce a creative buzz and deliver powerful physical relief.
As one might expect, NYC Diesel buds smell an awful lot like earthy, sour diesel, and their taste is shockingly sweet with a punch of sour grapefruit flavor.
LA Confidential
IndicaOne of DNA Genetics most popular strains, LA Confidential is a very potent and pleasurable indica strain that is thought to be a descendent of OG LA Affie with an Afghani landrace strain.
Buds of LA Confidential are densely packed and round, each forest green bud blanketed by a snow of trichomes and patches of neon orange pistils.
LA Confidential provides a calm, relaxing physical high alongside its nearly psychedelic cerebral effects, leaving its user completely euphoric.
Patients who have encountered LA Confidential say it has a bright piney aroma that can fill a room and a sweet, surprisingly pleasant earthy flavor.
Fruity Pebbles
HybridAlien Genetics originally developed Fruity Pebbles (also sometimes called Fruity Pebbles OG) as a special limited-edition indica-dominant hybrid of Green Ribbon, Granddaddy Purple, Tahoe Alien, and Alien Kush.
Since its original creation in 2006, this strain has become extremely popular for its all-encompassing stimulating body buzz that tranquilizes the body and mind.
The flowers of this bud are small, dense, and brightly colored with hues of chartreuse and purple, muddled with spots of neon orange pistils and a sugary trichome fur on the very surface.
Fruity Pebbles smell and taste is reminiscent of fresh fruit, and is deliciously sugary, almost like a fruity cereal.
Blueberry Headband
HybridA blend of two potent west coast favorites (Blueberry and Headband), this indica-dominant hybrid provides its patients with an energetic cerebral effect and a somewhat sedative body effect.
Due to this strain's Headband parentage, this strain also delivers the unique feeling of a tight 'headband' around your head, leaving you feeling tension or pressure at your temples.
Some patients find this effect gives them headaches or makes them feel dizzy while others find it very stimulating, so be sure to start slow with this potent bud.
This strain's buds are a dark forest green, but the gracious coating of trichomes along the entire surface of these buds make them look frosty white, and the blueberry and lemon aroma of this bud is totally divine.
Chemdawg 4
HybridTHC 15–15%
Chemdawg 4 is an indica-dominant phenotype of the original Chemdawg strain. Much like its parent strain Chemdawg 4 has a buzzy and stimulating head high.
However, unlike Chemdawg, this head buzz travels throughout your body, leading to a slightly sedative and arousing high, perfect for a night out or in.
If you are looking to grow, Chemdawg 4 might be the right choice, as its plants grow to five feet in about 10 weeks and produce a big yield of chunky buds that generally test around 15% THC.
These dense flowers are usually deep sea green in color and dotted with potent tangerine pistils; the earthy bright citrus aroma coming from each of these beautiful buds is incredibly alluring.
Chocolate Thai
SativaChocolate Thai is a legendary landrace strain that, you guessed it, comes from Thailand. In the mid-1960s, this strain was sold tied to sticks of bamboo and was considered to be one of the strongest strains available at the time.
Chocolate Thai plants produce long, thin colas with a fluffy bud structure, and each produces an earthy, piney aroma and taste somewhat like chocolate coffee.
Patients note that this strain is particularly good for relieving physical pain, and has a sociable and laughter-inducing cerebral effect.
Although the Chocolate Thai we have today likely differs somewhat from the version available in the 1960s, this bud continues to be one of the foundational sativa strains of cannabis.
