Not much beats the excitement of placing seeds into the soil for the first time. Growing cannabis comes with a long list of benefits, including access to whatever genetics you choose, and the satisfaction of smoking something you grew yourself. You know exactly what went into growing those flowers, and how well they were taken care of.

With thousands of different strains out there, beginner cultivators often find themselves overwhelmed. Which strain should they pick? Which offers the best results? Are some easier to grow than others? Which tastes the best?

To help you start your cannabis journey, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to pick out the very best beginner strains. These varieties are super easy to grow, don’t take up much room, and offer speedy harvests of high-quality flowers. Check out our top five easiest strains to grow below.

Misty Gorilla

If you’re looking for an intense high, look no further than Misty Gorilla. This absolute powerhouse stems from legendary strains Diesel, Chem’s Sis, and Sour Dubb. The synthesis of these world-class genetics gave rise to a massive THC level of 27%, wrapped up in an easy-to-grow, sativa-dominant package.

Misty Gorilla hits hard and fast. It only takes a couple of hits to feel her stimulating sativa high course through your central nervous system. Blaze a joint before writing some music or going for a hike to set your mind into the right gear. Misty Gorilla’s dense and resinous buds boast eye-pleasing shades of green, yellow, and brown, and her sparkling trichomes manufacture a delicious terpene profile characterised by tastes of earth and pine.

This strain maintains a medium height indoors, growing to 90–160cm, and produces an impressive yield of up to 550g/m² after a flowering time of just 55 days. Outdoor plants grow to a taller height of 170cm and churn out 500–600g/plant.

Critical XXL

As her name suggests, Critical XXL doesn’t skimp out when it comes to delivering her floral goods. This large indica-dominant lady stands tall and proud, and features a large and expansive canopy that pumps out some seriously impressive yields. Weight and volume aside, Critical XXL also offers high levels of THC (19%) and a deeply soothing psychotropic experience.

Critical XXL stems from indica titans Afghan and Skunk. Our breeders tweaked these genetics to produce a consistently large and productive phenotype. She delivers tall and dense buds packing a sweet and spicy terpene blend that goes down a treat when vaporized.

Critical XXL reaches up to 150cm indoors, yet growers can use low-stress training to keep her as small as 80cm. She’ll pump out up to 650g/m² after a relatively short flowering period of 50 days. Outdoor plants grow up to a mighty 230cm and provide mind-blowing harvests of 600–750g/plant.

Jack the Ripper Autoflowering

Trust us, you’ve never seen buds this green. Jack the Ripper Autoflowering features almost fluorescent flowers decorated with a sparkling coat of trichomes and dark orange pistils. You’ll blow minds when you pull these buds out at a smoking session. This splendid strain produces results fast and stands strong in the face of pests and pathogens, making her super easy to grow.

Jack the Ripper Autoflowering descends from Jack Herer and a Cannabis ruderalis variety. The sativa-dominant strain packs an impressive THC content of 17%, making her super powerful for an autoflower. She ticks all of the boxes of a convenient and stealthy cultivar, topping out at 90cm indoors and outdoors, with the possibility of being trained down to 60cm with LST.

No matter the space you have available, you can grow Jack the Ripper Autoflowering with peace of mind. She thrives in both tiny grow tents and outdoor guerrilla growing locations. Despite her small size, she still puts out satisfying yields in 60–70 days post-germination. Expect 300–350g/m² from indoor plants and 75–130g/plant from their outdoor counterparts.

Little Dwarf Autoflowering

A true queen of stealth, Little Dwarf Autoflowering offers the perfect solution to beginner growers struggling to find a good growing location. This miniature strain will happily flourish in converted kitchen cupboards, computer towers, 5-litre buckets, and even out in the woods. She dramatically decreases the chances of getting busted, while still providing a respectable quantity of buds at the end of the growing cycle.

To create this little beauty, our skilled breeders crossed Skunk with a small ruderalis variety. Little Dwarf Autoflowering emerged as a speedy and short sativa-dominant strain. Her compact buds provide a THC content of 14%, giving rise to a mellow yet stimulating experience ideal for wake-and-bake sessions. Strong tastes of sweetness and spice accompany a creative and giggly high.

Indoors, the strain reaches a height of 40–70cm and provides 200–250g/m². As soon as the seeds germinate, you’ll only have to wait 55–65 days until your flowers are ready to harvest! If growing outdoors, expect a harvest of 40–80g/plant.

Power Kush

Growing photoperiod weed doesn’t get much easier than this. Power Kush can take some serious neglect, thrives in a variety of environments, and does well at keeping pests and pathogens at bay.

Power Kush stems from the crossbreeding of two excellent cannabis varieties: Critical and OG Kush. Inheriting the very best traits of both legendary parents, this indica-dominant lady serves up a THC content of 20% and a deep body high that soothes the muscles and eases the mind.
Smoke these sweet and spicy buds at the end of a long day to put your mind at ease.

After a super-short flowering period of 50 days, indoor plants produce a good yield of 475–525g/m². This strain responds well to ScrOG setups, where growers can train multiple plants to produce outstanding yields even in small spaces. Outdoor plants will survive just about anywhere. Sow companion plants such as basil and dill to keep pests away while attracting beneficial species. Expect a rewarding yield of up to 600g/plant in late September.
