Top Easy Cannabis Strains for Beginner Growers
The easiest cannabis strains for beginners to grow.
If you’re just setting foot on your cannabis growing journey, starting off with easy genetics will really help you along the way. You’ll still need to take good care of your plants, but hardy, beginner-friendly strains are much more forgiving and easier to cultivate.
Before dropping a seed into some soil, we recommend giving some thought to what kind of strain you want to grow. Consider how much space you have available, how much money you’re willing to spend, what kind of high and flavours you enjoy when you smoke, and your local weather patterns and climate.
Explore our strain selection categories below to find the best easy strains to suit your preferences.
Cost
Beginner growers often don’t want to invest large amounts of money into a new hobby. If this applies to you, we advise purchasing cheaper seeds. This means less pressure to produce a perfect outcome, making for a more pleasant and casual growing experience. Oh, and "cheap seeds" doesn’t equate to bad genetics. Many cheaper varieties offer superb yields of high-quality flowers.

Speed
Speed remains the most attractive trait to a lot of cannabis growers. Faster plants mean less time spent eagerly waiting for harvest. Plus, speed offers a degree of stealth as well: The sooner you can bring plants inside or dismantle your grow room, the less likely you are to get caught. Check out two of our fastest strains below.

Odour
Odour plays an important role in the process of strain selection. Some growers enjoy the liberty of choosing the stinkiest genetics they can find, whereas others are limited due to draconian laws or nosey neighbours. The two varieties below are less pungent than the average strain, making them ideal for those growing on the down-low.

Royal Jack Automatic
Royal Jack Automatic blooms dense, tapered buds loaded with trichomes and orange pistils. Although these flowers send notes of pepper, herbs, and spices across the tongue when smoked, they remain relatively demure during the flowering phase. Throw in a carbon scrubber, and you’ll eliminate any terpene leakage from your grow.
