Top 10 Best-Tasting Weed Strains
Over the years, our skilled breeders have created some of the tastiest strains around. Our new releases for 2024 demonstrate perhaps their greatest achievements so far. These varieties offer sweet and fruity terpenes and enormous levels of THC.
Contents:
Cannabis is one of the most profoundly beautiful-smelling plants that exist on Earth, and will certainly occupy more bouquets and flower arrangements of the future. But what is it that gives cannabis such a unique and incredible aroma? Well, the surface of cannabis flowers houses tiny mushroom-shaped glands known as trichomes. These glands are essentially miniature chemical factories that produce secondary metabolites—molecules that contribute to the plant's natural defence mechanisms. These molecules include the cannabinoids we know and love, as well as aromatic chemicals called terpenes.
It’s the terpenes that produce such intense and diverse aromas and tastes within the cannabis plant. Terpenes are not unique to cannabis, though. They are what give plants such as pine trees, and fruits such as oranges and lemons, such recognisable smells. These molecules are found in high concentrations within cannabis flowers, resulting in intense sensory experiences. Not only do they contribute such amazing smells; they also enhance the action of cannabinoids such as THC and CBD.
Top 10 Best-Tasting Weed Strains
Ready to please your palate? Here's a selection of the best-tasting cannabis strains from our catalogue:
Purple Punch Auto
The original Purple Punch stems from two US classics: Larry OG and GDP. Our autoflowering version takes that same storied lineage and adds to it Old Skunk Auto, making for a speedy, hardy auto seed that delivers delicious purple bud in mere weeks.
Pop these beans and your garden will be home to some stout indica-dominant plants that veg for about 3 weeks before entering bloom. By the end of their veg phase, Purple Punch Auto plants typically measure around 50 cm and boast large, deep green leaves as well as tightly spaced nodes. During their first 2‒3 weeks of bloom, Purple Punch Auto plants stretch notably, reaching max heights of 80‒120 cm, depending on your setup and the individual phenotype.
Most Purple Punch Auto plants should be harvest-ready roughly 10 weeks after germination, at which point they'll be loaded with large, dense indica nugs that pack delicious candied berry and grape terpenes along with deeply soothing effects. Light her up in the evenings as you kick up your feet and unwind after a long day!

Watermelon Auto
Watermelon Auto is the result of crossing Tropicanna Cookies, originally bred by Harry Palms from GSC and Tangie, and Lemon OG, a popular indica with heavy-handed effects. With just a dash of ruderalis, we were able to condense the best traits of these strains into an auto that's fast-flowering, high-yielding, and super easy to grow.
Sow Watermelon Auto seeds and you can expect compact, healthy plants that quickly form a dense canopy. After 3‒4 weeks of vegging, Watermelon Auto plants stand at 20‒30 cm tall and show signs that they are about to enter their bloom phase, which usually lasts 6‒7 weeks. After their flowering stretch, Watermelon Auto plants typically reach max heights of around 80 cm, though some phenos can grow to 120 cm.
Watermelon Auto is usually harvest-ready 9 weeks after germination and delivers respectable yields outdoors. Its buds preserve a modest indica structure and can take on a rainbow of colours ranging from bright green to violet and orange. Light her up post-harvest and Watermelon Auto will delight with sweet, fruity, and tropical aromas along with a relaxing stone.

Lemon Skunk
The world of Skunk cannabis is rife with big, bold aromas. And our Lemon Skunk, which combines genetics from Skunk #1 and Citral, is a great addition to the world's ever-growing lineup of Skunks. With these feminized seeds, you can grow deliciously zesty and potent weed at home with minimal effort.
Lemon Skunk seeds grow well in almost any environment, producing strong plants suitable for beginner and experienced growers alike. Grown outdoors and left untrained, mature Lemon Skunk plants can reach over 200 cm tall—an important consideration if you're pressed for space or trying to operate low-key. However, these plants are responsive to low and high-stress training, so you can limit their height while pushing yields to the max.
During her 8‒9-week flowering time, Lemon Skunk develops thick, bright green flowers with tight stacks of dense calyxes. Her frosty trichomes pack high concentrations of zesty, earthy, and spicy terpenes along with 19% THC. After just a few hits, enjoy as Lemon Skunk elevates your mind while stoning your body.

Cereal Milk
Cereal Milk is a modern creation by our expert breeders that's loaded with tasty terpenes and plenty of THC. Stemming from a cross of Y Life and Snowman, Cereal Milk descends from the almighty Cookies genetic family and exhibits excellent vigour along with the flair of modern US hybrids.
After 3‒4 weeks of vegetative growth, Cereal Milk plants measure around 30 cm. Their leaf structure is typical of a hybrid, though their slightly lanky stems and branches are indicative of the strain's 60% sativa dominance. Once in bloom, Cereal Milk plants stretch notably, reaching max heights of up to 200 cm, especially outdoors or when allowed to veg for extensive periods under lights.
Cereal Milk plants are typically harvest-ready after 8‒9 weeks in bloom, producing super-fragrant flowers with large, swollen calyxes and a dense, rock-hard structure. True to her name, Cereal Milk contains rich terpenes that combine notes of cream, vanilla, and blueberries—oddly reminiscent of the smell of the leftover milk at the bottom of a bowl of sugary cereal. Its effects, meanwhile, are uplifting, creative, and positive.

Fruit Spirit is a true celebrity lovechild created using a combination of White Widow and Blueberry genetics—both all-time classics bred by some of the world's most revered cannabis breeders. The result? A hassle-free 70% indica hybrid that produces truly top-shelf flower.
Fruit Spirit is hardy enough to grow well in any setup, but she performs best in Mediterranean climate zones with long, dry, and hot summers. Within their first 3 weeks of vegetative growth, Fruit Spirit plants usually measure around 20‒30 cm and develop a thick canopy of deep-green leaves and closely spaced nodes. Once in bloom, Fruit Spirit stretches substantially, reaching final heights of up to 220 cm if untrained. Her indoor flowering time is about 9–10 weeks, with outdoor plants reaching harvest by early October.
True to her name and her all-star lineage, Fruit Spirit delivers extra-tasty flowers packed with fruity, berry, earthy, and spicy terpenes. Plus, with 18% THC, she delivers a well-balanced high you can enjoy at any time of the day.

Tangie
Tangie has long been a Dutch favourite and has held its place atop coffeeshop menus for decades. Now, you can enjoy her zesty flowers at home with these easy-to-grow feminized seeds. Within 3‒4 weeks of popping these beans, your garden will be home to strong sativa-dominant plants teeming with bright green leaves and reaching branches.
Fully mature Tangie plants can grow tall, especially when left to veg for extended periods or in the absence of training. They also tend to stretch quite a bit as they enter flowering, with mature plants standing up to 190 cm tall in outdoor settings (though controlling their height is fairly simple with LST and/or topping). As she flowers, Tangie produces lengthy sativa buds with bright green calyxes and fiery red pistils. Outdoors, she can be harvest-ready by October, while indoor plants can be cut down after 9‒10 weeks.
Like Tangerine Dream (the strain she's inspired by), Tangie boasts complex aromas and flavours that mix fruity and citrusy terpenes with spicy overtones, an underlying earthy base, and lingering notes of Skunk. True to her sativa heritage, Tangie also delivers a fast-paced, energetic high ideal for creatives.
