Top 5 Most Popular CBD Strains of 2024

Although researchers discovered CBD before THC, the latter gained much more attention due to its psychotropic effects. In recent years, CBD has re-entered the spotlight as a non-intoxicating cannabinoid offering numerous wellness benefits.

At Royal Queen Seeds, our expert breeders have developed high-CBD varieties containing equal levels of THC, or no THC at all, to cater to individual tastes. Some of these cultivars also contain other novel cannabinoids, including CBG.

Discover the top 5 most popular CBD strains of 2024 below. These strains have been the most sought-after by our customers, and we have also included a brand new strain that will surely be equally popular!

1. Stress Killer Automatic

The key trait of Stress Killer Automatic is summed up accurately by her name. A high level of CBD balances out a mellow THC content of 11% to produce a crystal-clear head high that boosts focus. Stress Killer Automatic can be blazed or vaped throughout the day to boost productivity and relieve symptoms without compromising the mental faculties. This ideal balance of cannabinoids was achieved by breeding Lemon Shining Silver Haze, Juanita la Lagrimosa, and a Cannabis ruderalis variety. This combination created a genetic profile of 60% sativa, 30% indica, and 10% ruderalis.

Stress Killer Automatic is an easy strain to grow and can take some abuse, making her attractive to novice growers. Indoor plants will yield up to 17.6 oz/m² and peak at a height of 54.6 inches. Plants cultivated outdoors produce a yield of between 3.9 – 5.6 oz and grow to a slightly taller height of 62.4 inches.

2. Solomatic CBD

Solomatic CBD is a heavily indica-dominant autoflowering variety that was bred with a single goal in mind: maximum CBD, minimum THC. The breeders behind this specimen achieved that goal, and then some. The flowers of this strain generate a CBD level of 21% alongside THC quantities at or below 1%. This expertly tailored ratio was accomplished by breeding parent strains Diesel CBD and Asia CBD Auto. The flowers of this strain offer pleasant flavors of citrus and sweetness.

Solomatic CBD grows to a medium height both indoors and outdoors. Indoor plants peak at 46.8 inches and yield up to 16.8 oz/m². Outdoor plants grow to 58.5 inches in height and yield 3.9 – 5.3 oz. The ruderalis genes within this strain make the grow cycle short, and she’ll be ready to harvest in as little as 9 weeks after sprouting.

5. Royal CBG Automatic

Royal CBG Automatic offers an entirely unique cannabinoid profile. Alongside high levels of CBD, she offers CBG quantities of 6–8%. Also known as cannabigerol, CBG rarely occurs in these levels in other strains. The molecule serves as the precursor, or building block, to cannabinoids such as THC and CBD. However, our breeders figured out how to keep CBG levels elevated all the way up to harvest. This rare strain also offers high levels of CBD and low THC levels of 0.09%.

CBG works in much the same way as CBD, with a few unique twists of its own. You’ll also experience delightful flavors of vanilla every time you take a hit. This rapid auto provides a harvest 9–10 weeks after germination. If you grow her indoors, you can expect 350–15.9 oz/m² from plants that grow to 2.6 – 3 feet in height. Outdoor plants peak at 39 inches and churn out 1.1 – 1.8 oz.
