Top 10 Hybrid Strains
If you're reading this, you're likely in search of hybrid strains to try out. Well, dear reader, you're in luck, because we're giving you not one, not five, but ten of the best strains to choose from! Taking the best from both indica and sativa, there's never been a better time to give one of these balanced hybrids a try.
Contents:
Certain cannabis lovers label themselves as indica or sativa purists—but there’s no reason to limit yourself! Thanks to legalization, a huge assortment of balanced cannabis hybrids are on the market.
Hybrids possess qualities of both indica and sativa, offering a unique cultivation experience, bud structure, and phytochemical composition. Expressing distinct aromas and effects courtesy of novel terpene and cannabinoid combinations, these crosses offer something pure sativas and indicas cannot.
Today, we’ll be exploring the top 10 hybrids displaying a 50/50 (or close to it) split of indica and sativa genetics. All displaying impressive speed, yields, flavours, and effects, there’s a hybrid strain for every weed grower out there.
Skunk XL
Many consider Skunk XL an all-time classic. Indeed, it has formed the genetic foundation for innumerable strains on the modern market. With Colombian, Mexican, and Afghan roots, this productive hybrid comes in at a perfect 50/50 balance of indica and sativa.
Skunk XL is a favourite among growers and smokers alike. In the garden, it spans from 1–1.5 metres in height, developing a bulbous main cola alongside smaller buds. A generous yielder indoors and out, Skunk XL didn’t earn her name for nothing. Indoors, expect up to 650g/m²; outdoors, 600g/plant can be achieved in ideal conditions. Oh, and it only takes 8–9 weeks of flowering to deliver her fruits.
Once ready to enjoy, prepare for a heavy stone powered by 17% THC, and a healthy dose of skunky, fruity flavours.

Cookies Gelato
Here’s another 50/50 strain for you. Bred from the union of the sweet-tasting Girl Scout Cookies and the equally delectable Gelato, Cookies Gelato produces THC levels reaching up to 28%. In other words, this is a strain that ought to be taken seriously.
Despite such high potency, Cookies Gelato takes only 8–10 weeks to develop her flowers—a sure sign of hybrid vigour. Another indicator? Yields of up to 600g/m² indoors and 650g/plant outdoors.
Sweetness is a distinct characteristic of Cookies Gelato. A pleasant sugary aroma will fill the air as soon as you spark that spliff up. And once you take those first few hits, it can be quite an experience for the taste buds and the mind. Proceed with caution to enjoy her relaxing high without becoming overwhelmed.

North Thunderfuck
Deriving from the famous Alaskan Thunder Fuck, this refined version harnesses exceptional hybrid vigour to produce insane yields and extremely satisfying effects.
Apart from its name, another distinct feature of North Thunderfuck is its build.

In any case, under ideal conditions, plants produce up to 500g/m² indoors and 550g/plant outdoors, taking 8–9 weeks to flower. Requiring minimal supervision, these plants are also able to handle cooler climates.
