Maine Marijuana Seedlings & Clones a best of the 207 winner!

Here’s number 11 on our list of strains, and the last of five strains we grow that top the 30% THC threshold (or higher), Original Glue.

Is Original Glue the same as GG4?

 Yes, it is the strain formally known as Gorilla Glue #4, the breeders rebranded it to Original Glue due to legal issues with the adhesive company of the same name.

From the Breeder (Advanced Genetics):

Lineage: Chem’s Sister x Sour Dubb x Chocolate Diesel

Genetics: 60% indica / 40% sativa

THC: 28-32%

Flowering: 55-65 Days

Flavor: Sweet, chocolatey, with a diesel aftertaste

Effects: Relaxed, happy, euphoric

Suggested Medical use: Stress, pain, depression and menstrual cramps

Strain Details:

Original Glue is an indica dominant hybrid that comes with sedative effects that can numb the body, so prepare to experience a deep body stone that leaves you on the couch (in a state of “couch lock”) for several hours. Better have some pizza delivered cuz there’s no chance you’re getting off the couch anytime soon.

The effects of Original Glue start with a body buzz that elicits euphoria, happiness, and positive thinking. Say goodbye to negative thoughts for the rest of the night. Once the initial buzz wears off, your body will enter a state of stillness and relaxation.

Original Glue produces some of the most robust, resin coated cannabis buds on the planet. The sticky and compact flowers contain epic THC concentrations with broad-ranging recreational and medical effects. 

 A heavy-yielder, Original Glue provides a spectrum of flavors and aromas that will leave you drooling (literally). Experienced growers can reap massive outputs when growing this hard-hitter strain.

Just two more strains to go, Pineapple Express and a new (second) strain from us, Scott’s OG!

Maine Dream from Maine Seedlings & Clones

Maine Marijuana Seedlings & Clones a best of the 207 winner!

Here’s the first of two cannabis strains developed by our very own mad scientist (and only available from us as a clone), it tops out at (roughly) 27% THC, and has been a fan favorite of New England growers for several years now, of course we are talking about Maine Dream, from Maine Seedlings & Clones.

From the Breeder (Maine Seedlings & Clones):

Genetics: 90% Sativa / 10% Indica

THC: 24-27%

Flowering: 52-60 Days

Lineage: Blue Dream x Strawberry Cough

Yield: XL

High Type: Happy, Relaxed, Uplifted

Taste: sweet floral notes and spice, with a taste of blueberry

Strain Details:

An almost pure sativa (it features 10% indica genetics), Maine Dream is a complex marijuana strain that combines a beautiful aroma of spicy florals and sweet berries with a fast-acting, “dreamy” high that boosts mood, but also mutes stress, and inflammation. Be warned, however – over-indulging in Maine Dream may lock you into a trance-like state on the couch (this another excellent candidate for practicing the fine art of micro-dosing).

Maine Dream will grow tall, and her wide branches fill with heavy buds that will need to be supported.

The short flowering period (52-60 days) will ensure it finishes in even the shorter growing season of northern most Maine.

Maine Dream has been known to be particularly helpful for managing anxiety, as well as helping to alleviate depression, stress, and the symptoms of chronic pain.

Just three more strains to go, Original Glue, Pineapple Express and a new strain from us, Scott’s OG and the countdown will be complete!

IMPERIUM X from Anesia Seeds

Maine Marijuana Seedlings & Clones a best of the 207 winner!

When it comes to THC level (a whopping 36% and up!) long with the high, this strain is the top dog, the tip of the spear, the absolute king of the f’ing hill, it’s number nine on our strains list, IMPERIUM X from Anesia Seeds

From the Breeder (Anesia Seeds):

Genetics: 60% Sativa, 40% Indica

THC: 36%+ (through the roof)

Flowering: 62-68 Days

Lineage: City of God x The White Angel x Future #1

Yield: XL

High Type: positive, euphoric, stimulating, sensory-expanding, couch locking

Taste: pineapple with a pleasant hint of sandalwood

Imperium X is one of the strongest strains in the world, combining outstanding traits like no other cannabis strain before. She is based on three extremely THC rich cannabis strains: the rare City of God, The White Angel and our overwhelmingly potent Future #1. This 3-way cross has resulted in a strain that exceeds all expectations and pushes the boundaries of what is possible.

Imperium X can reach THC levels of 36% and more, and her powerful, deep and far-reaching effects cannot be explained by the cannabinoid THC alone. We assume that the strain also has a relatively high THCP value. It makes you fly higher than any other strain and has a positive, euphoric, stimulating, sensory-expanding and narcotic effects that rolls over your mind and body like a steam roller. The effects are both intensely relaxing and euphoric, sending you into a real frenzy of creativity while giving you a powerful energy boost. Chronic users with a high tolerance will find it an exceptionally intense experience, while newbies can quickly and easily underestimate it with even a small dosage. Once dosed a little too high (and this can happen very easily), it can easily tie you to the couch for hours and have a “beam you up Scottie” effect. This strain is hard to describe, and can only be experienced.

Her dense, heavy flowers are like bunches of grapes and produce a staggering amount of resin that coats the buds in a thick sticky layer. The aroma is sweet, fruity and reminiscent of pineapple with a pleasant hint of sandalwood. During the flowering period, it produces abundant yields. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors and will develop its full potential under optimal light and growing conditions.

Gorilla Bomb from Bomb Seeds

Maine Marijuana Seedlings & Clones a best of the 207 winner!

This is number eight on our list of strains, the second from Bomb Seeds and yet another that tops the 30% THC threshold, Gorilla Bomb.

From the Breeder (Bomb Seeds):

Genetics: 60% sativa / 40% indica

THC: 28-32%

Flowering: 60-68 Days

Lineage: Gorilla Glue #4 x THC Bomb

Yield: Heavy

Strain Details:

A cross of Gorilla Glue #4 and our very own THC Bomb has created a unique and even more potent variation of this classic. Gorilla Bomb has got all of the stickiness of the original GG4 along with the massive yields and resin covered buds of THC Bomb giving you the perfect plant to fill your grow room.

One of the most talked about and arguably strongest strains of recent years is the insanely sticky Gorilla Glue. Huge amounts of resin and a great sour piney aroma make this a great variety to work with; so we have given it the full Bomb treatment!

We were given a clone of the Gorilla Glue #4 pheno back in early 2013 and immediately began to cross these outstanding genetics with our very own signature THC Bomb. The sole purpose was to inject even more oozing resin into this already trichome laden lady. The results are spectacular.

The immediate effect of smoking Gorilla Bomb is uplifting and energetic. The powerful head rush will continue to roll over you in waves until you are firmly settled into a deep relaxing euphoria. But be warned, this is not classed as one of the strongest strains on the planet for fun! If you continue to hit on this, it will very quickly stick you to your couch like its famous namesake Gorilla Glue.

The flavor is a superb blend of sweet and sour chocolate, followed by the distinct fuel after-tang thanks to its diesel heritage. This taste is initially quite subtle but really builds in the mouth so the exhale has a very potent flavor.

Godfather Bomb from Bomb Seeds

Maine Marijuana Seedlings & Clones a best of the 207 winner!

This is number seven on our list of new strains and among the five strains we grow with a THC level of 30% (or higher), Godfather Bomb from Bomb Seeds.

From the Breeder (Bomb Seeds):

THC: 28-32% (very high)

Flowering: 56-66 Days

Lineage: Godfather OG x Gorilla Bomb

Yield: Heavy

High Type: Very strong and euphoric full body buzz

Taste: A smooth, flavorful smoke with a complex flavor profile of spicy, kushy, with undertones of grape and pine.

Strain Details

The Godfather is all powerful, at he top of the food chain and when it comes to marijuana, this is true with Godfather Bomb, with such high THC content there is no messing around… this strain deserves your attention and respect. Our breeding team was fortunate enough to be gifted some authentic Godfather OG seeds and knowing its legendary levels of THC they set to work on adding it to our genetic collection. What was soon apparent was the incredible vigor and strength of the original plants were something special. After growing them out and selecting suitable parents we began to experiment with crossing them into other varieties. Because of this, we have maintained that line and now offer them to you unchanged. The process of ensuring stability and quality is key in all Bomb Seeds lines and this is definitely the case with Godfather Bomb. By selecting only the truest breeding offspring from the original, we are able to pass these amazing traits on to you.

Getting down to business though, Godfather Bomb is not to be taken lightly, she will have even veteran smokers’ eyes red and body tingling. Even light use will set a deep-seated body stone in place rapidly, which will spread throughout your body and soon have you in a heavy-lidded stupor. But you’ll be smiling all the while!

This means if you suffer from conditions such as insomnia, stress and pain relief, the Godfather will definitely help out.

If you want to take on a truly mind and body melting strain that is easy to grow and tasty to smoke, then give the Godfather a try, you won’t be sorry.

What are Landrace strains?

Maine Marijuana Seedlings & Clones a best of the 207 winner!

We’ve had several people reach out asking what is a landrace strain, so here you go.

The History of Landrace Strains

Landrace strains have a rich history that span thousands of years. The earliest written mention of cannabis dates back to 2,900 B.C., found in a plant medicine encyclopedia. The genetic lineage of cannabis can be traced to a single plant species originating in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan. This indigenous cannabis variety was utilized for making ropes, clothing, and for medicinal purposes, eventually spreading from its native area to Ancient Greece and Rome. The Ottomans introduced it to Africa, while Europeans transported it to the Caribbean and Central America in the 16th century.

The Origins of Landrace Strains

Landrace strains represent the original, unhybridized sativa and indica cannabis plants, often named after their geographical origins. These strains evolved in isolation in various regions, adapting to the local environments. Each strain’s natural development has endowed it with unique characteristics that suit specific climates and growing conditions. Today, most cannabis strains are hybrids, contributing to the vast selection available at local dispensaries.

A key characteristic of Landrace strains is their robust and extremely stable genetics, because of their long history of naturally acquired immunities, they have developed a resistance to mold, mildew, and pests.

Here are some notable regions recognized for their unique landrace strains:

  • Middle East & Central Asia: This region is home to well-known landrace strains such as Hindu Kush and Afghan Kush, which have thrived in its rugged mountains and harsh climates, resulting in pure indica strains.
  • Thailand: Thai landrace strains originate from Thailand and Southeast Asia. Due to the area’s tropical climate, these plants are purely sativa, characterized by their tall and slender growth.
  • Latin America: In regions like Mexico and Colombia, landrace cannabis plants are distinguished by their 100% sativa chemical phenotype and vibrant green leaves with gold streaks.
  • Africa: The continent’s diverse climates have produced various landrace marijuana strains, with Durban Poison being one of the most renowned. Typically sativa dominant, these African strains often feature neon green leaves adorned with bright orange trichomes.

Top 5 Notable Landrace Strains

Several landrace strains have gained legendary status within the cannabis community. Here are five of the most famous:

  1. Acapulco Gold

Type: Sativa
Acapulco Gold is a landrace strain from Mexico, renowned for its golden-brown nuggets and orange hairs. This strain offers a delicious flavor profile that includes spicy, honey, coffee, and herbal notes, accompanied by a burnt toffee aroma.

  1. Thai

Type: Sativa
Also known as Thai Stick, this classic strain from Thailand gets its name from the traditional method of smoking, where cannabis buds are skewered onto bamboo sticks. It features a sweet tropical flavor, complemented by hints of woodiness and a fruity, floral, skunky aroma.

  1. Hindu Kush

Type: Indica
Originating from the mountainous regions of central Afghanistan and Pakistan, Hindu Kush is a pure indica. Enthusiasts describe its flavor as spicy lemon with herbaceous wood undertones and a sweet, earthy aroma. Hindu Kush has been the foundation for several well-known strains, including OG Kush, Purple Kush, and Bubba Kush.

  1. Durban Poison

Type: Sativa
This sativa landrace strain from Durban South Africa, it’s a favorite among cannabis fans and features a sweet, piney scent reminiscent of anise, along with a lovely citrusy, herbal flavor.

  1. Afghan Kush

Type: Indica
Often referred to as Afghan OG, this indica strain comes from the Hindu Kush mountain region. It offers a fruity flavor profile with herbal and woody notes. The aroma is intense, floral, and earthy.
