When you think of California, what comes to mind? Sure, the state boasts great wine and near-endless sunshine, but it also produces some of the finest weed on the planet. Keep reading to discover the best Cali weed seeds you should grow and smoke in 2024.
California has gained a reputation for its sunny weather, fine wine, stunning National Parks, and bucket-list landmarks. If you know anything about cannabis, you'll also know that many of the best weed strains originate from this self-titled 'Golden State'. And, thanks to relaxed legislation and a progressive cannabis industry, Cali continues to produce some of the sweetest and strongest buds on the planet.
The Best Cali Weed Seeds of 2024
So, you're in the mood for something strong, sweet, and productive? Well, you're in the right place! Here are our top Cali weed seeds of 2024:
Cereal Milk
Cereal Milk descends from a highly regarded lineage, with her direct parent strains, Y Life and Snowman, passing down outstanding levels of THC (23%) and plenty of sugary sweet terpenes. These attractive purple-green buds also possess a flavor seldom found in other cultivars—vanilla. Indoor plants peak at a height of 140cm and produce a rewarding yield of 500g/m². Those grown in a sunny spot outdoors produce up to 675g/plant and are ready to harvest in October.

Biscotti
We're not exaggerating when we say Biscotti ranks as one of the tastiest cannabis strains in existence! This indica-dominant hybrid offers delicious cookie flavors alongside fruit, pepper, and even hints of diesel! The legendary Gelato 25 underpins Biscotti's Californian roots, with parent strain Triangle Kush passing down incredible levels of THC. It only takes a couple of hits to feel Biscotti's cerebral, uplifting, and creative high take hold. Grow this lady indoors, and you'll harvest up to 500g/m² after 8–10 weeks of flowering. Outdoors, she'll grow to 180cm and offer up to 600g/plant.

Gushers
Gushers descends from two geographically opposing parent strains. West Coast Cali breeders created Gelato #41 by crossing Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Cookies, whereas Florida-based breeders gave rise to Triangle Kush. Thankfully, Triangle Kush passed down high levels of myrcene, the fruity terpene that makes Gushers' buds so soothing and moreish. Overall, this indica-dominant progeny possesses a mighty THC content of 24% and exerts an uplifting yet physically relaxing experience. Gushers also performs great both indoors and outdoors but really comes into her own in the garden. Here, expect to harvest up to 700g/plant during early October.

Wedding Cake
As the progeny of Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie, it is no surprise that Wedding Cake's buds are rammed full of sweet and sugary terpenes. Her dense and tall colas offer a giggly and social high fueled by a THC content of 20%—enough to get you buzzed without tipping you over the edge. The Cali titan Girl Scout Cookies passed down plenty of myrcene and caryophyllene—two terpenes that make this high incredibly relaxing. When it comes to productivity, expect up to 500g/m² and 600g/plant from indoor and outdoor plants, respectively.

Runtz
Somewhere between the early and mid-flowering stage, you'll notice Runtz's alluring characteristics start to emerge. While the sheer density of stigmas gives buds a somewhat fluffy texture, the beautiful contrast of almost neon-like colors makes them a sight to behold. Not only did legendary Cali strains Gelato and Zkittlez pass down these good looks, but they infused their offspring with insane THC content (up to 27%). Take things one puff at a time, and you'll enjoy a fast-acting high and intense waves of euphoria.
