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.

El Patron

No matter your mood, El Patron is here to hit the spot. This strain is slightly stronger with its sativa presence, bearing a 60:40 sativa:indica ratio, but it can certainly still be considered a balanced hybrid.

Growing this hybrid needn’t be a taxing experience. Expect it to flower over 8–9 weeks, with plants yielding up to 550g/m² indoors and 600g/plant out.

With 22% THC, this strain is potent, but delivers a warm, stoning high that brings comfort after a long day. Furthermore, fans of citrus and Kush flavours are bound to find a friend in El Patron, and may deem this strain most suitable for vaping.

White Widow

To this day, its origins remain a mystery—but White Widow continues to hold legendary status among cannabis enthusiasts.

Like many of the strains on this list, White Widow displays a perfect 50/50 balance of indica and sativa. A true marvel in the grow room or garden, it reaches up to a metre tall indoors and almost two metres outdoors, and delivers up to 500g/m² and 600g/plant respectively.

And once its 8–10-week flowering period comes to a close, those buds will be absolutely covered in a frosting of white crystals. This resin contains a THC level of 19% and earthy, peppey, piney terpenes, resulting in a uniquely enjoyable high and flavour experience.

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 full bloom, this plant resembles a small Christmas tree, which adds a lot of aesthetic value to your grow room or backgarden. That said, it can also be trained to grow in a more lateral manner. 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.

With a euphoric high courtesy of 22% THC and skunky, earthy terpenes, this strain is best enjoyed whenever you need a pick-me-up.

Cookies are small information files that notify your computer of previous interactions with our website. These cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our website.

This allows our website to function more quickly and remember aspects related to your previous visits (such as your username), making your experience more convenient.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
