When it comes to selecting a superb summer strain, fruity flavours are a must. Apple Fritter delivers this trait in abundance. As the indica-dominant offspring of Sour Apple and Animal Cookies, she boasts plenty of fruity terpenes and high levels of THC. This phytochemical cocktail makes the cultivar a fine choice for getting the most out of bright summer days.
Pack these flowers into joints, blunts, and bong bowls to experience a fast-acting high that will uplift your mind and put you in a creative mood. THC levels of 24%, paired with standout flavour notes of apple, vanilla, and cinnamon, will have you feeling energised and ready to get outdoors. Go tend to your garden, walk through the forest, or simply swing in a hammock with a good book.
Apple Fritter grows quickly, making her a good choice for time-sensitive outdoor grows and efficient indoor grows. Indoors, she reaches 80-120cm in height and produces a rewarding yield of up to 450g/m². Outdoors, or in greenhouses and polytunnels, she really flourishes, churning out up to 500g/plant during early October.

Nothing screams summer quite like the taste of watermelon. So, why not take a few hits of this scrumptious strain in between bites of the giant juicy fruit? Watermelon serves as the perfect botanical companion for beach trips. This successor of Watermelon OG S1 delivers a blissful high alongside pungent tastes of watermelon and other fruits. Puff away, sit back, and listen to the breaking waves.
With a THC content of 22%, Watermelon will have you feeling sufficiently chilled after just a couple of tokes. However, THC doesn’t work alone in this situation. An array of fruity terpenes, including myrcene, work side by side with the phytochemical to induce a pleasantly stoning effect that will soothe your muscles and put you in a positive frame of mind. Use a vape if you want to experience her sugary tastes to the fullest.
Watermelon cruises through the flowering stage in just 7–8 weeks, making her another great candidate for short growing seasons. Apply LST and place her under strong lights indoors, and she’ll max out at a height of 80cm while providing 450–500g/m². Outdoors, treat her to soil rich in organic matter, and Watermelon will produce up to 500g/plant with little watering and maintenance required.

Born from Haze and Strawberry Fields, Strawberry Cough is a strain that doesn't just talk the talk; it walks the walk. Infused with blueberry, candy, and fruit flavours, it's the perfect homage to the strawberry fields it was initially hidden among. Now, whether those strawberry plants had a lasting impact on Strawberry Cough remains a mystery, but there's no denying this strain is teeming with a fruity infusion and up to 20% THC—perfect for those long summer evenings.
This sativa-dominant cultivar boasts a highly respectable flowering period after what promises to be an action-packed vegetative phase. She loves to stretch, and it's not uncommon for seedlings to take shape incredibly quickly. Left to their own devices, you can expect indoor plants to be close to 150 cm come harvest, while some outdoor examples reach heights of two metres or more.
Don't worry, though; her size isn't just for show. Give Strawberry Cough the conditions she needs to thrive (and some light pruning along the way), and you'll be rewarded with up to 500 g/m² indoors and a whooping 650 g/plant outside.

This USA Premium marijuana strain ticks all of the boxes. She looks beautiful, offers huge levels of THC, and provides large yields in small spaces. Royal Queen Seeds created this phenom by pairing parent strains Fruity Pebbles OG and Grape Pie. After some refinement, Sundae Driver emerged with a perfectly balanced genetic profile consisting of 50% indica genetics and 50% sativa.
Think of those transient moments that make summer so special; hazy sunsets, laughter under blue skies, strolling through flowering fields, and chatting next to campfires. Now, imagine these moments with Sundae Driver. This variety will permeate such occasions with THC levels of 23% and flavours of blueberry and vanilla. Get ready for some giggles, waves of motivation, and moments of euphoria.
This visually stunning hybrid blooms deep purple buds covered in frosty trichomes. Expect untrained plants to peak at 140cm indoors and produce up to 450g/m² after a flowering period of 9–11 weeks. Outdoors, she thrives in areas with a longer growing season. Surround her with companion plants to protect her from pests, and you’ll harvest up to 450–500g/plant during October.

Barbecues are the cornerstone of summer evenings. While you cook up some food and enjoy the view of the sunset illuminating the smoke, toke away on some Titan F1. As one of the strongest F1 hybrids available, this strain imparts a relaxing high that never fails to catalyse the munchies. Formed from Blue Dream, Sugar Magnolia, and Amnesia inbred lines, she displays profound hybrid vigour.
This super summer strain lands a fast-acting high on the body and the mind. As you feel your muscles relax one by one, she’ll rev the engine of your mind with high levels of THC and plenty of ocimene and farnesene. Delicious flavours of candy, diesel, vanilla, and pine will only stoke your appetite further.
This compact autoflowering F1 cruises through the growing cycle effortlessly. However, you could encounter one issue: running out of stash jars. You’ll need a good stock in order to house her huge yields after a total growing time of 70–75 days post-germination. With a maximum height of 75cm, Titan F1 produces huge harvests even in tight spaces.

Summer is all about unforgettable moments and the thrill of living every day like it's your last. One strain that sprouts with the exact same motivation is Purple Lemonade Auto, a fast-growing cultivar with an abundance of THC (22%), candy and citrus flavours, and a high that perfectly balances euphoria with physical stimulation. Of course, before you can experience its tightly packed buds, you'll need to nail germination.
Being an auto, you'll want to germinate seeds in their final pots to get the best results. Because Purple Lemonade Auto doesn't hang around, you'll want plants to have all the room they need to fully develop during the 10–12 weeks it takes to reach maturity.
Even better, you won't have to worry about much plant training as she progresses through veg and into flowering. Still, a splash of extra fertiliser during the last weeks can really push bud production (and those citrusy flavours) to their full potential. Expect around 475 g/m² indoors and up to 180 g/plant from outdoor examples.

Gushers produces a battery of fruity and candy-like terpenes; what else would you expect from the progeny of Gelato 41 and Triangle Kush? By crossing these two legends, breeders created an indica-dominant hybrid that complements summer snacks and beverages perfectly, from sweet mocktails to fruit salads.
So, what can you expect when blazing a Gushers joint? Well, considering this strain produces a THC content of 24%, know that it won’t take much for her uplifting effect to take hold. Overall, Gushers provides a giggly, cheerful high that’s perfect for summer parties, raves, and other social events.
Her large, dense colas look like they should take a long time to develop. But in reality, it only takes them 8–10 weeks to transform from pre-flowers into ripe buds. Treat indoor plants to adequate PAR exposure and a comprehensive nutrient strategy, and they’ll yield up to 500g/m². Outdoor plants are capable of producing up to 700g/plant when grown in a sunny location.

When you simply want to relax with nothing but the sunshine on your face and a joint in your hand, Pink Mist is the strain for you. This sativa-dominant strain blends genetics from Purple Thai and Black Haze to deliver a profoundly euphoric and mentally soothing experience, perfect for reflective moments.
What's even more pleasing about Pink Mist is how easily she goes from a mere seedling to a fully fledged, two-metre-tall plant boasting 20% THC and a generous helping of grapey-floral aromas. The taste follows suit, offering upfront sweetness with subtle earthy undertones on the exhale.
Of course, if you want to marvel at her imposing structure, you'll need to give her plenty of bracing. Outdoors, stakes and trellises are incredibly helpful, while indoors, some simple LST will keep plants on track. Take your time with this photoperiod marvel, though, as great things come to growers who wait; in this case, approximately 500 g/m² after nine weeks of flowering indoors, and 400 g/plant come late October outdoors.

What better way to close out this list than with one of the most tropical cannabis hybrids available? Fat Banana inherited insanely fruity flavours and an eye-reddening high from parent cultivars Banana and OG Kush. Not only that, but her indica-heavy genetic profile gives rise to bushy plants that are easy to tame.
Above all else, Fat Banana is a superb summer strain due to her moreish and summery flavours. Her terpene profile is particularly scrumptious when baked into brownies or drizzled onto ice cream as a syrup. A THC content of 25%, paired with high levels of myrcene, will keep you stoned for hours to come.
Fat Banana reaches a height of 80–140cm indoors and 170–200cm outdoors. Use training techniques indoors if necessary to limit her height. You’ll only have to wait 8–10 weeks to harvest up to 400g/m² indoors. Outdoors, prepare to harvest up to 500g/plant in October.
