Sometimes a warm cup of coffee simply doesn’t cut it when you need a boost in focus. Playing fast-paced video games, creating art, writing, and running/hiking all required prolonged concentration. If you’re in need of a helping hand, then you’re in the right place. The five cannabis strains below will take your focus to whole new heights with high levels of THC, plenty of CBD, and boatloads of delicious terpenes. Learn how to grow them and decide which ones will feature in your next grow-op!
1. Cosmos F1
Whether you need a cognitive boost when gaming or a spring in your step when hiking the trails, Cosmos F1 will rev up your nervous system and clear your mind.
As an exceptionally easy plant to grow, Cosmos F1 seeds do well directly sown into 11-litre pots filled with soil, where plants will remain for the entirety of the growing cycle. Within just a couple of days, you’ll see sprouts emerging. Start running your lights for 24 hours per day, and your seedlings will stand at a height of 10 cm by the end of the second week of veg. Maintain a temperature of 25°C and humidity of around 50%, and your plants, fuelled by impressive hybrid vigour, will grow to 20 cm by the end of the third week. Consider applying LST at this point to keep plants short and bushy. If you’d like to grow outdoors, move your plants into a spot with plenty of direct sunlight. Expect your Cosmos F1 plants to reach 30 cm by the end of veg as they start producing pre-flowers.
During bloom, trained Cosmos F1 plants will stretch up to 70 cm, whereas their untrained counterparts will peak at 100 cm. Over the coming weeks, you’ll watch small, juvenile buds swell into large, dense, and sticky colas. Trigger a flush during the final two weeks for smoother and more flavourful flowers. Prepare to harvest sizeable yields after a growing cycle of just 75–85 days. High in CBD and with just trace concentrations of THC, Cosmos F1 clears the mind and keeps you sharp. Enjoy focus-enhancing and meditative effects alongside flavours of cookies, pepper, and pine.
2. Corkscrew Auto
When it comes to the best strains for focus, Corkscrew Auto certainly reigns supreme. Packed with THC and lively terpenes, this cultivar is like pure inspiration in bud form.
To get things started, simply sow seeds directly into their final 11-litre pots filled with a high-quality growing medium. Maintain a temperature of around 25°C and you’ll see shoots pop through the surface within a couple of days. Under strong lights, expect your seedlings to reach 5 cm by the first week and veg, and 10 cm by the end of week two. Equipped with several sets of luscious cand a thick and robust stem, plants will stand at around 15–20 cm once week three comes to a close. Continue feeding with a high-nitrogen organic feed and apply low-stress training techniques to shape each plant to your liking. Expect pre-flowers to start emerging during week four of veg—a surefire sign of your plants transitioning into bloom.
Untrained indoor plants will stretch to 100 cm indoors, whereas those subject to LST will peak at around 70 cm. Meanwhile, untrained outdoor plants will surge to 150 cm, with their trained counterparts peaking at 120 cm. Keep temperature and humidity at around 25°C and 40%, respectively, for optimal growth. Flush your plants during the last two weeks of bloom and prepare to bring in 400–450 g/m² indoors and 90–175 g/plant outdoors after a growing cycle of just 12–13 weeks. Once the buds have been dried and cured, fire up Corkscrew Auto to experience its uplifting and stimulating high—ideal for daytime use—alongside delicious flavours of candy, citrus, and pineapple.

3. Grape Ape Auto
Energising. Cerebral. Productive. Easy to grow. What more could you want from Grape Ape Auto? Sow seeds into 11-litre pots for a simple and easy growing experience.
Ensure your soil is moist, but not soaked, for quicker germination times. Keep your lights running for 24 hours per day and you’ll have yourself a 12 cm-tall plant with a surprisingly bushy canopy by week three of veg. Keep plants as they are, or move your containers outdoors into a sunny but sheltered spot. Routine foliar sprays of liquid fish emulsion and compost tea will keep your plants in tip-top health. Apply some light defoliation as your plants prepare to enter boom during week four to ensure all bud sites are exposed to direct light.
You can expect Grape Ape Auto to stretch up to a final height of 70–100 cm indoors (depending on any training techniques used) or 120 cm outdoors. Keep humidity levels low indoors and in greenhouses/polytunnels to prevent pathogens during flowering. Flush your plants during weeks nine and ten for a superior end product. During week eleven, prepare to harvest 400–450 g/m² from indoor plants and up to 165 g/plant from those grown outdoors. As the progeny of Grape Ape and OG Kush Auto, Grape Ape Auto leverages a THC content of 19% to induce a motivating high that will help you complete any goals you have for the day. Flavours of blueberry and herbs are a big bonus.

4. Triple G Auto
Triple G Auto isn’t just one of the best strains for focus and productivity; this progeny of Triple G and Big Skunk Auto also produces big yields and offers scrumptious tastes of chocolate.
Again, to keep things simple, sow each seed directly into an 11-litre pot. Under adequate lighting, you’ll have yourself a stout and sturdy seedling with a couple of true leaves by the end of the first week after sprouting. Aim for an average temperature of 25°C and humidity of 70%, and you can expect your plant to grow up to 10 cm at the end of week two and up to 30 cm by the end of the vegetative phase.
Expect your Triple G Auto plants to stretch during the first couple of weeks of bloom. Apply a feed high in potassium and phosphorus to facilitate healthy flower development, and defoliate frequently to thin out the canopy to boost aeration and light penetration. Your plant will max out at heights of around 120 cm indoors and 140 cm outdoors. Following a total growing period of just 10–12 weeks, you’ll harvest up to 500 g/m² or 140 g/plant, respectively. After processing your flowers, you’ll enjoy a motivating and clear-headed high that’ll help you think quicker and solve problems more efficiently. Complex flavours of candy, chocolate, earth, and skunk accompany every hit.

In around one week, you’ll have yourself a strong-looking seedling standing at 5 cm. Watch over the next three weeks as the canopy starts to enlarge, becoming greener and more luscious by the day.

Flush with two weeks left to go and get ready to harvest 450–500 g/m² from indoor plants and up to 140 g/plant from those grown outdoors after a rapid growing cycle of 10–12 weeks. As the descendant of Cookies Gelato and Big Skunk Auto, Cookies Gelato Auto possesses a hard-hitting THC content of 23%.
