Legendary is a word that comes up often, but what does it really mean to be a legendary cannabis strain? For us, it is all of the following:
- A proven heritage and genetics
- Exceptional references in terms of selection

5 high THC cannabis strains worthy of legendary status
All of the strains below have more than proven their legendary status, and to top it off, they feature fantastic levels of THC. If you want to take care of some of the best strains in the business, look no further than the following:
- Amnesia Haze (22% THC): Forged in the fires of the Dutch cannabis scene, Amnesia Haze has decades of successful cultivation to support her legendary status. Combine its reliability with an intensely euphoric high, and there's a lot to love. She may have a longer flowering time than usual, but with 600-650g / m² of buds possible (indoors), the wait is well worth it.
- White Widow (19% THC) : Growers around the world instantly recognize White Widow's iconic name, though her true origins remain a mystery even today. However, that doesn't take away from her respectable flowering time (8-10 weeks) and strong performance in cooler climates. She has become a favorite among beginners, due to her robust nature and balanced high.
- Sour Diesel (19% THC) : Sour Diesel is world famous for several reasons, but its most notable attribute is its distinctive aroma. Incredibly pungent, the buds of this beauty ooze heavy chemical and herbaceous notes. If you've never tried a Diesel strain before, we highly recommend Sour Diesel as your first experience!
- Northern Light (18% THC) : Another strain with a mysterious past, Northern Light has been making waves in the cannabis community since the early 70s. Since then, it has grown steadily, further enhancing its already iconic qualities. If you want a strain at the top of its game, look no further.
- Skunk XL (17% THC) : With genetics from Colombian, Mexican and Afghan strains, Skunk XL can be considered the grandfather of cannabis. And as you would expect from a legendary pair of genetics, the Skunk XL spec sheet is an impressive read. Excellent yields, fantastic flowering time and a balanced high make her a legendary choice.
