What Are the Most Powerful Marijuana Strains in the World?
By Space Coast Daily // July 22, 2022
Powerful varieties of marijuana are always in trend. They are wanted not only by THC-tolerant growers but also by newcomers who have not yet had any background and have decided to test their strength. The maximum concentration of THC in such varieties directly depends on genetics. It is the foundation of the power of the final product.
Which Varieties Are More Powerful: Photoperiod or Auto-Flowering?
Typically, photoperiod cannabis strains have higher levels of THC than auto-flowering varieties. This is because the Ruderalis gene is present in auto-flowering varieties, which is the reason for the decrease in power. This difference was especially noticeable many years ago when auto-flowering strains were just beginning to appear. But today, growers can easily get powerful autos that are almost as strong as photoperiod strains.
It should be remembered that photoperiod cannabis varieties have a longer life cycle and are not suitable for outdoor cultivation in difficult climatic zones with short summers. In indoor growing conditions, the care of plant lighting falls entirely on the shoulders of the grower, which can be difficult, especially for beginners. For example, you can buy Chiquita Banana seeds in a cannabis seed bank since they are considered to be one of the most powerful on the planet.
Determining the exact amount of THC in marijuana is not easy. This is done by experienced breeders in the laboratory, calculating the indicator using huge formulas. To obtain a reliable result, they consider the loss of molecular weight, which is the same for all strains. Because of this, there is a significant error in determining the final indicator of THC.
Despite some genetic challenges, photoperiod cannabis strains have several obvious advantages:
■ Due to its long life cycle, photoperiod cannabis is larger and more productive.
■ By adjusting the lighting mode, the grower himself can influence the duration of the cannabis vegetation, plant size, and flowering and ripening time.
■ You can use the bush as a mother plant to get clones (unlimited source of new seedlings without the need to purchase seeds).
