How to Choose a Strain Based on Size and HeightUpdated 5 months ago

The height of a cannabis plant varies depending on genetics, growing environment, techniques used, and other factors. Here's a general breakdown with some examples:

Short Strains (typically 1-3 feet):

  1. Northern Lights #10 (Indica-dominant)

  2. White Widow Auto (Hybrid)

  3. Blueberry Auto (Indica-dominant)

  4. Most autoflowering strains

These strains are great for indoor grows with limited vertical space or for stealthy outdoor grows.

Average Height Strains (typically 3-6 feet):

  1. OG Kush (Hybrid)

  2. Blue Dream (Hybrid)

  3. Girl Scout Cookies (Hybrid)

  4. Kyle Kushman’s Cherry AK (Hybrid)

These strains offer a good balance and are versatile for both indoor and outdoor growing.

Tall Strains (can grow 6+ feet, especially outdoors):

  1. Sour Diesel (Sativa-dominant)

  2. Jack Herer (Sativa-dominant)

  3. Amnesia Haze (Sativa-dominant)

  4. Master Kush (Sativa-dominant)

These strains can grow quite tall, especially in outdoor environments, and may require height management techniques indoors.

Other considerations

Remember, these heights are general estimates. The actual height can be influenced by:

  • Growing environment (indoor vs. outdoor)

  • Light source and intensity

  • Pot size

  • Vegetation time

  • Training techniques (like topping, LST, or ScrOG)

For the most accurate information on a specific strain's potential height, always check the strain details provided on the Homegrown Cannabis Co. product pages as we offer growth information for each strain we sell.

Lastly, regardless of the strain's natural tendency, you can always control the height to some extent using various training techniques to suit your grow space.
