The 10 Best American Strains

The new cannabis genetics sector in America is booming, with thousands of strains available and a market that continues to grow. Innovation in cultivation, coupled with a growing acceptance of and demand for both recreational and medicinal cannabis, are driving the development of increasingly sophisticated strains. European genetics have also been very important in the evolution of this market, providing a solid basis for innovation and the creation of new varieties that continue to capture consumers’ interest.

The cannabis sector in North America has seen explosive growth in the last decade, fueled by legalization in several regions of the United States and Canada, which has fostered intense innovation in the development of new marijuana strains in high demand among both recreational and medicinal users.

In addition, the North American cannabis market has been significantly enriched by the arrival of European genetics, especially from the Netherlands and Spain. The success of these genetics is particularly due to their reputation for high quality and consistent results, favoring their adoption by growers and consumers.

Seed banks like Kannabia Seed Company have successfully established themselves, providing their award-winning and very popular strains, many of them based on renowned varieties that are a hit on the other side of the pond. These genetics have not only been well received, but have also served as the basis for the creation of new hybrids, thanks to their genetic strength and the rigorous cultivation methods employed by European breeders.

The influence of these strains has contributed to the diversification and dynamization of the North American genetic market, giving rise to a more competitive and innovative industry whose objective is to create genetics that are not only potent, but also offer unique terpene profiles, higher yields, and resistance to disease.
