Though the archetypal stoner is portrayed as uber-chill, perhaps even a bit slow, not every strain sends smokers to couch-lock land. On the contrary, the varieties below were bred to keep you wide-eyed and ready to tackle whatever comes your way. The phytochemical makeup of each strain caters to days spent pursuing creative projects or tackling chores and errands.

No matter what you need to get done, the energising cultivars below will help you secure a victory.

1. Mother Gorilla

Looking for an energy boost? Well, you just found one. Mother Gorilla descends directly from Gorilla Glue 4, an award-winning high-THC powerhouse hailing from the United States. Our breeders then crossed this renowned cultivar with Reina Madre, a sativa-leaning strain that offers reliably uplifting effects. The result? A sativa-dominant polyhybrid packing an impressive THC content and a complex terpene profile.

Are you an ardent wake-and-baker? Or perhaps you need a little something to give you an edge while studying? Anytime you’re in need of a pick-me-up, Mother Gorilla can give you a helping hand. Her THC content of 23% will add a spring to your step, and her heady terpenes will ensure the high remains energising. These aromatic molecules also underpin Mother Gorilla’s complex flavours of chocolate, earthiness, Skunk, and sourness.

Indoors, this compact variety grows to a height of 60–100cm and produces a rewarding yield of up to 500g/m² after a flowering time of 9–10 weeks. If you prefer growing outdoors, expect her to reach a height of 140–180cm and deliver up to 500–550g/plant during early October.

2. North Thunderfuck

Whether you have a deadline closing in or a house chore you keep putting off, North Thunderfuck will make the work seamless and even enjoyable. This energising hybrid descends from Matanuska Thunderfuck Bx3 and features a perfectly balanced genetic profile of 50% indica and 50% sativa. As a member of our USA Premium category, this variety puts the magnificence of American ancestry on full display.

But what makes North Thunderfuck such a stimulating strain? For one, her flowers are coated with a thick layer of glandular trichomes. These shimmering structures churn out a THC content of 22%, which quickly lights up cannabinoid receptors in the brain. Furthermore, a zesty terpene profile fronted by limonene works to secure a supercharged head high. Alongside this surging effect, users can expect moreish flavours of citrus, pine, and Skunk.

North Thunderfuck offers large yields that will keep you elevated for weeks to come. Indoor plants grow to 80–120cm and produce up to 500g/m² after a flowering time of 8–9 weeks. If growing under the sun, you’ll watch plants peak at 190cm and produce up to 550g/plant.

3. Green Crack Punch

We all know someone who is dubious about whether cannabis has energising effects. Well, Green Crack Punch is the perfect strain to put those doubts to rest for good. Whether you love to wake and bake or need a midday boost to see you through the day, Green Crack Punch is perfect.

If you need to file an important report before 5 o’clock or give the house a much-needed spring clean, Green Crack Punch can help you achieve your “today list” with pride. It produces a satisfying mental buzz that’s great for when you need a boost of energy and focus. After a few hours, this head buzz starts working its way down to your muscles, leaving you relaxed and grounded.

Green Crack Punch has a delicious fruity aroma that combines zesty citrus notes with sweet hints of berries and grapes. A cross between the infamous Green Crack and Purple Punch, this is a slightly sativa-dominant strain that produces beautiful buds with vibrant orange and pink hues, and roughly 18–20% THC.

Similar to the first strain on this list, Green Crack Punch performs its best outdoors. This is one of those plants that needs plenty of space, reaching between 180 and 220cm in the right conditions. Indoors, Green Crack Punch still does well, although space limitations will affect its ability to vigorously veg, and will likely result in smaller harvests. Nonetheless, its extreme resilience to pests, droughts, and poor weather make it a great strain for all kinds of growers, including beginners.
