How Weed Grow STRAIN HUNT 2023 – Best Frost, THC, Terpenes, Buds & Structure – Harvest Highlights
Hunting for the perfect cannabis strain involves considering various factors that contribute to its overall quality and effects. This video is intended to show you how different cannabis strains grow under the same conditions and the variances in quality and how to choose the best strain to breed based on the grow results. By evaluating the terpene profile, frost level/THC content, bud structure, stem structure, and yield, you can refine your search and find strains that align with your preferences, needs, and cultivation capabilities. Remember, the ideal strain is subjective and can vary depending on individual preferences, desired effects, and intended use.
Every year I do a massive hunt and instead of phenos, I grow out multiple strains to try to find the best ones. Instead of a seed to harvest, I’m only going to show you the final results and rate and review each strain based on the following:
1. Terpenes:
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to its distinctive flavors and scents. Each strain possesses a unique terpene profile, which influences its effects and therapeutic benefits. Some common terpenes include Limonene, Myrcene, Pinene, and Linalool. Understanding the terpene composition can help you identify strains that align with your desired effects, such as relaxation, focus, or pain relief. Researching and experimenting with different terpene profiles can lead you to your preferred cannabis strain.
2. Frost Level/THC:
The frost level, often indicated by the amount of visible trichomes, gives an idea of the strain’s potency. Trichomes are the resinous glands that contain cannabinoids, including THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Strains with high levels of frost tend to have a higher THC content, which can result in stronger psychoactive effects. However, it’s essential to find a balance between THC levels and your tolerance to avoid overwhelming experiences. Novice users might prefer strains with lower THC levels, while experienced users may seek potent strains for specific therapeutic purposes.
3. Bud Structure:
Bud structure refers to the physical appearance of the cannabis flowers. The structure can vary from dense and compact buds to loose and fluffy ones. Dense buds typically indicate higher cannabinoid concentration and resin production. However, different bud structures can also affect the smokeability, flavor, and burn of the strain. While personal preferences play a role, it’s worth noting that well-cured, properly trimmed buds generally provide a more enjoyable smoking or vaping experience.
4. Stem Structure:
The stem structure of cannabis plants can provide valuable insights into their overall health and growth patterns. Sturdy stems with a thick diameter often indicate robust plants that can support heavy buds. Conversely, weak or spindly stems might suggest issues with plant health, nutrient deficiencies, or poor genetics. Examining the stem structure can help you identify strains that are more likely to thrive during cultivation and produce desirable yields.
5. Yield:
Yield refers to the amount of usable cannabis a strain can produce during cultivation. Some strains are known for their high yields, while others may have lower yields but offer exceptional quality. The desired yield may depend on personal preferences, available space for cultivation, and the intended use of the harvested cannabis. If you’re growing your own cannabis, researching the expected yield of different strains can help you maximize your efforts and achieve your cultivation goals.

The three hermaphrodites in this project were Pulp Friction from Green House Genetics, Grandmaster Sexy by Exotic Genetics and Bogeyman by Sin City Seeds. Stomped Berries was a “last ditch” herm which happens when strains are in bloom too long and I dont mind this type of herm as much. A scorecard and rank of the strains in this hunt can be downloaded on my website which details yield and all measurements.

I have a cross I made is frostier than all in this vid u wanna try layer cake x blueberrie cookies x runtz
Thanks for this! I ordered Hella Jelly and Jelly Donutz. I’m so excited! What would you suggest for a veg time for 4 in 5 gallon pots? This will be my first photoperiod grow. Thank you again for doing this! I’ll be trying your other mentions in here afterwards!
Awsome grow do you sell seeds
How do I get the GSX
🗣💨💨💨
I got a question did you do any pheno hunting or did you just cross.?
fire video bro
I’ll never be able to get something like that 😢
I got some beans for you to pop lmk g
No root, no fruit my man. I’ve been a grower of the ganja for at least 30 years and actually a few more years but who’s counting huh. Lol my biggest disadvantage is I mainly grew outdoors. I have grown indoors but I am not as knowledgeable as I am with the outdoor grow. I believe buds that were grown right was stronger than the weed you can buy today! Us Gen X’ersand old growers were getting $400 an ounce back then! We had original skunk, AK47, purple haze etc. You younger generation totally screwed up the real genetics of our true strains! I have a skunk strain that grows neon green looking buds that are covered in tricombs to the point the buds look white! The coolest part is the fire engine red hairs that are all over its buds. I’ve kept it away from all other strains to keep it’s prestige. That and a purple strain we call monkey brains(don’t ask me why we called it that) I was very young and very stoned when we named it.
First time here…. great job bud ✌️💚
Hey brother, great videos! What’s your opinion on growing bag seeds? Is it possible to grow top shelf herb using bag seeds?
Just rewatched it now that it’s posted. Man this one a bangaaaaaa 💪💪💪💪
Great video thanks for the information
where i can buy gxs regular seeds?
You have anymore of those seeds?
What kind of automatic trimmer was that ?
I gotta say this video was a great watch and very data packed. I love to learn and to top it off, you also named Hella Jelly, something I heard about on another channel amd they said similarly about the smell. It was enough to get me to want to grow it some day. I still have to either move or wait till legal here.
Who got some real Durban Poison “ I lost my girl in the fire, and I’ve found the thcv in this strain helps my symptoms tremendously!
Only OG at bedtime I’ve still got by Platinum Kush! The White Runtz up there too!❤ hmu with the Durban
This man deserves alot of credit!
Beautiful plants…new sub
Very detailed vids as always 👍Whats that electric trimmer called you was using 9.43min in vid?
BEAUTIFUL
When you find winners you always want to be able to keep it . I miss out on a lot of great stuff. This year I did a Mac 1 crossed with a cheese to make mac&cheese 🧀 .
I’m willing to grow for u
Fiquei com água na boca.
I got something I want to give you what’s your P O BOX
👍👍👍👍👍sweet
What is that trimmer called
Gas ⛽
Great channel
Those babies are looking 🔥🔥🔥
Great content as usual! Do you have a smoke report/effect on your grows? I’m a very oldschool guy that aims for effects only. Structure, colors, smell, taste, bag appeal are just bonuses for me! Keep up your great videos! Cheers
Man, giving breeders a shot in your room is the coolest shit I ever heard.
Just popped Humboldt blueberry cupcakes blueberry muffins and vanilla frosting
Man your crosses looked amazing
I am also a grower. It’s really awesome. I want seeds to plant in Thailand.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great video. I’m 60, recently retired and this is my new hobby. Was looking for something new to grow and that Hella Jelly looks fantastic. Thanks for the suggestion.👍🖖
#Hotgrowweed do you keep your hermies for feminized seeds
I wanna know bro
Same issue with exotix but I didn’t contact them. I just won’t be buying their cultivars again. Which sucks cuz the smoke was still fire.
Very impressive and great knowledge of how to grow 🪴
Top-shelf, real eye candy
