Take the next step in your cannabis-growing venture and start making hash at home. For the best results, you’ll need to select a strain known for its resin production. Learn a little more about this old-school cannabis concentrate before we introduce you to the best strains for hash.

What Kind of Weed Makes the Best Hash?

Hash differs greatly from cannabis flowers. It removes all of the fluff—chlorophyll, waxes, and plant matter—and focuses only on the good stuff: the resin! There are several different types of hash, including charas, which is made by rubbing fresh buds still attached to the plant, as well as bubble hash and dry sift hash. Despite the differences in approach, all of these techniques collect and combine trichomes. These small, mushroom-shaped glands are the powerhouses of cannabis buds and churn out cannabinoids and terpenes—the two most influential chemical groups when it comes to the cannabis high.

Every time you take a puff of hash, you’re continuing a millennia-long human tradition. Although the exact date of hash’s origin remains lost in time, the concentrate likely first sprouted up in north India and Nepal. From here, it worked its way across the Arab world, North Africa, and then into Europe.

The 5 Best Strains for Making Hash

Many cannabis users have the luxury of picking up high-quality hash from dispensaries or coffeeshops. If you don’t have such easy access, you can always make your own. The first step of a successful hash yield involves choosing the right strain for the job. You’ll want a variety that produces copious amounts of resin, tasty terpenes, and THC. Get to know five varieties that tick all of these boxes.

1. Hyperion F1

So, what can Hyperion F1 offer hash-seeking weed growers such as yourself? Well, a whole lot, as it turns out. It almost seems like our skilled breeders here at Royal Queen Seeds specifically engineered this variety to serve as a hash-making machine. This autoflowering F1 hybrid stems from a lengthy breeding project involving Amnesia, Lemon, and Sin Tra Bajo Automatic genetics. After creating highly pure parent lines, our team crossed them to produce a variety with hybrid vigour. In short, this trait results in improved uniformity and pest resistance, alongside a massive jump in resin production. Hyperion F1 produces thick and tall colas packed with THC and coated with a dense layer of trichomes—making them perfect for hash. You can expect a hard-hitting high that targets the body and mind, as well as potent flavours of pine, earth, and pepper, from your finished product.

Hyperion F1 maintains a small size of 60–90cm. However, her hybrid vigour enables her to churn out massive yields in as little as 80 days from sprouting.

2. Cookies Gelato

We couldn’t leave out Cookies Gelato when compiling a list of the five best hash strains. Her sugary terpene profile and impressive resin production make her a prime candidate when looking to craft any cannabis concentrate. This perfectly balanced hybrid stems from a breeding project involving Girl Scout Cookies and Gelato 33. This pairing of legendary parent strains produced a progeny with an outlandish THC content of 28%. Her colas are dense and tapered, exhibiting shades of dark green and patches of purple. Handling them at harvest time will leave your fingertips covered in viscous resin, making this strain ideal when it comes to whipping up a batch of charas. Her complex terpene profile offers tastes of earth, fruit, and mint, and steers the high in a soothing and relaxing direction.

Indoors, Cookies Gelato peaks at a height of 130cm and rewards growers with 550–600g/m² after a flowering time of 8–9 weeks. Outdoor plants thrive in regions that experience a short growing season; they grow to 140–180cm and produce up to 650g/plant ready to harvest in the middle of October.

3. Royal Gorilla

Royal Gorilla has become a firm favourite among hash connoisseurs. This cultivar certainly exerts a powerful effect, but it’s her flavour profile that really makes her stand out from the crowd when it comes to cannabis concentrates. Packing a joint, vape, or blunt with hash derived from this strain will expose your taste buds to unique and pleasant tastes of chocolate, diesel, fruit, and pine. As these flavours dance around your tongue, Royal Gorilla’s THC content of 27% will land a fast-acting high that will leave your body stoned and your mind clear and lucid. Her top-tier trichome density makes her suitable for any kind of hash making, from dry sift and charas to bubble hash.

As the progeny of Sour Dubb, Chem Sis, and Chocolate Diesel, Royal Gorilla possesses an even balance of sativa and indica genetics. Indoor plants have the potential to peak at 160cm, but will remain at around 90cm when topped and trained. Expect to harvest up to 550g/m² after a flowering period of 8–10 weeks from plants grown under strong lights. Outdoor plants surge to 170cm and provide a harvest of 550–600g/plant during the middle of October.

4. Apple Fritter

How do you like your hash? Each weed lover will answer this question differently. Some much prefer pungent flavours of skunk and diesel, whereas others favour refreshing notes of pine and pepper. Then, you have the fruit lovers. If you fall into this category, you’ll get on just fine with Apple Fritter when it comes to making and enjoying hash at home. This indica-dominant offspring of Sour Apple and Animal Cookies triggers the sweet-sensing taste buds with powerful flavours of candy and fruit. Take the time to rub her raw flowers between your palms and mould the resin into a ball, and you’ll have yourself some of the sweetest charas available. On top of her pleasant taste, her THC content of 24% drives a creative and uplifting high that makes hash from this strain a perfect candidate for daytime activities.

If you choose to grow Apple Fritter indoors, you can keep her as low as 80cm using topping and training, or let her peak at 120cm if you have the space available. Feed and illuminate her well, and you'll receive 400–450g/m² after 8–10 weeks of blooming. Outdoors, plants grow to 120–150cm and produce up to 500g/plant ready to process during early October.

5. Sundae Driver

We’re not saying we’ve left the best strain for hash until last, but Sundae Driver certainly ranks high when it comes to crafting this age-old cannabis concentrate. Why? Well, this progeny of Fruity Pebbles OG and Grape Ape pairs an abundance of resin with eye-catching aesthetics. Her gorgeous dark purple buds will become the centrepiece of your grow room or garden during bloom; this striking colour is accentuated by a thick layer of resin that makes these colas glimmer. Sundae Driver certainly pleases the eye, but her phytochemical profile also lights up receptors in the brain and, in doing so, generates a euphoric and motivating experience. A THC content of 23% and terpenes that contribute tastes of blueberry and vanilla lie at the heart of her effects.

If you choose Sundae Driver to get your hash project up and running, expect indoor plants to grow to 90–140cm and offer a yield of 400–450g/m². Outdoor plants peak at a taller height of 130–170cm and produce up to 500g/plant ready to harvest in early October.

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:
