What are hybrid cannabis seeds?

Hybrid cannabis strains are the result of breeding one weed strain with another, usually a female of one strain with a male of another. Breeding cannabis this way basically unlocks an entirely new line of strains to add to the already enormous library.

Some benefits of growing hybrid cannabis seeds include:

• Terpene enhancement — Crossing the musky Indica scents with the uplifting fruity tones of a Sativa brings out some potent flavor combinations.
• Reduced growing time — Growing a Sativa in 9 weeks as opposed to 11+ is always a benefit.
• New combinations show variation — Each hybrid delivers its own unique experience. One Indica dominant hybrid will have different effects than another. 

Why choose hybrid marijuana seeds?

Most growers decide to grow hybrids primarily for their hybrid weed high, flavorful terpenes, and modified characteristics such as grow time. Here are a few more good reasons to invest in some high-quality hybrid seeds. 

Incredible variety to choose from

Breeding hybrid cannabis has unlocked an entire collection of new strains for every grower to explore. If it weren’t for hybrids, we wouldn’t have incredible strains such as White Widow or Pineapple Express, both popular indoor growing strains. 

Most popular strains are hybrids

Most of the strains that have skyrocketed are popular hybrid marijuana strains and for good reason. An Indica or Sativa may be potent, but they lack the depth and combination that hybrid weed seeds can grow into. 

Has characteristics of both parents

Much like humans, creating a hybrid cannabis strain brings together aspects from both parents. This creates an astounding combination of terpenes and potency. 

The interesting thing is because no two phenotypes are the same, a White Russian from one set of parents will more than likely be a different experience from another. 

What are the common effects of hybrid cannabis seeds?

How to Grow Hybrid Seeds?

If you’ve grown both Indicas and Sativas, you’ll have no problems growing hybrid strains. If you are new to the game, then growing hybrid seeds is perfect since they are quite forgiving with mistakes. Here are some of the top things to remember when growing hybrid cannabis: 

Lighting

Since lighting is one of the most important aspects of growing any kind of cannabis, it’s best to understand how it interacts with your hybrid marijuana. Sativas generally live closer to the equator and love the hot sun, while Indicas originated from the Afghan mountains and enjoy colder climates. 

If you’re growing a Sativa-dominant hybrid, it will do well under the hotter bulbs, like a metal halide or high-pressure sodium. Indicas can do very well under a strong full-spectrum LED, but you will have to keep an eye on the temperature since they don’t give off a lot of heat. 

Humidity and temperature

Cannabis loves humidity up until the middle of the flowering cycle, so keeping it within range is easy with a meter. The same goes for temperature and having that perfect balance for optimal transpiration.

One of the best tips a grower can give you is to have fans in your grow space. Airflow regulates a lot of these conditions for your plants. 

Nutrition and watering

Nutrients give your plants the building blocks to explode with growth. A proper watering schedule ensures that your cannabis has enough access to what it needs when it needs it. 

In the early parts of growing, your hybrid strain will need a lot of nitrogen compared to the other macronutrients. As it transitions into flowering, a lot of potassium and phosphorus will be needed to produce the necessary sugars for big buds. 

Hybrid vs Sativa vs Indica:

Sativa and Indica strains are different from each other, largely due to the environment in which they originated. The differences can be observed in both the physical and chemical composition. While they share similar cannabinoid content, the effects will be much different. 

Hybrids bring traits from both parents and combine them into their own genotypes. Here are the main differences between the three categories you see when you buy weed online: 

Cannabis Type	Physical and Growing Characteristics	Type of High
Sativa	Tall and lanky Long flowering period Long, sparse colas Buds smell of citrus and energetic aromas	Euphoric and creative Head highs  Energy throughout the day Relieves pain, anxiety and depression symptoms
Indica	Short and bushy Short flowering period Dense buds Flowers smell of earth and spicy tones	Sedative and relaxing effects Body high Can help people sleep and unwind Relieves pain, insomnia symptoms, and appetite problems
Hybrid	Can be tall or short depending on the parents Flowering periods are consistent with dominant genes Buds are dense and flavorful Terpene profile has a huge range depending on parents. Can have aspects of both Sativa and Indica	Euphoric mind and body high Great for a variety of conditions Can be sedative or energetic depending on the parentage.

Creating hybrids has opened up an entirely new library of strains that are easy to grow and provide huge yields. That’s one of the advantages of having a hybrid over the other types. 

Breeding a heavy-producing Indica with a Sativa that is prone to having large buds will bring both to the hybrid. Having genes from both parents provides the blueprint for huge yields and great terpene profiles.

Hybrid Strain Side Effects

Both Sativa and Indica genetics offer their own types of effects on both the body and mind. Sativa plants are known for their energetic and stimulating effects. That is why they are so popular as daytime strains. Indica plants are commonly consumed for their soothing and sedative effects. Usually used at the end of a long week or for those suffering from chronic pain. The body high associated with Indica is usually described as feeling heavy or in a “couch lock”.

A hybrid plant brings the best of both worlds when you breed the right cannabis strains together. Having a multitude of possibilities allows breeders to create an effect that is customized to the consumer.

Hybrids will offer characteristics of both parent strains usually showcasing one over the other. Others will enhance the properties of existing characteristics of either type, this is evident in the strains that are either Indica-dominant or Sativa-dominant.
