The world's best seeds and clones to grow in 2024
Attention, America's weed gardening army. It's time to lock and load.
Ignore the freezing winter outside. Valentine's Day marks the start of the indoor germination season for the 2024 outdoor full sun race in North America. The most elite, tastiest, strongest and most beautiful grass in the world will not grow on its own. You need to plant the perfect seeds for your situation – this week!
Admire this beautiful directory of magic beans, Terp Army. It is the result of dozens of inquiries to the most successful and renowned breeders in the world.
Thanks to federal legalization of cannabis seeds, standing on the shoulders of greatness and growing a pound has never been easier. Growers from legal New York, Missouri, Ohio and hopefully soon Washington can ring the Fweedom bells this year.
Welcome to the world's best seeds and clones for growing in 2024. Let's get gardening!
Hot new news from the top dogs
We begin with a blistering display of pure hype – the city's true anecdotes.
Seed Junky Genetics
The 2023 Leaf Variety of the Year Permanent Marker will colonize the country in 2024. LA breeder Seed Junky Genetics has facilitated direct sales of Permanent Marker S1 to the consumer or bred it themselves. Also scoop up Scented Markers, Malibu Markers, and Cherry Ztripez. For professional indoor growers only.
Capulator
MAC1's LA maker Capulator continues to dabble in Cap Junky with Coolio (Cap Junky x Caps Frozen Oranges); planned for spring 2024.
Coolio No. 18 tastes of orange oil and paint thinner.
Capulator
“After a long, hard day at work, hitting number 18 makes me want to pack the heavy bag, go on a 10-mile bike ride, and then stay up until 3 a.m. working on the creative side of my business work. It's super productive and uplifting. Probably my favorite smoke at the moment.”

Cookies seed bank

Cipher genetics
Cipher Genetics is based in Santa Cruz, California' Chris Lynch has a line of Blue Lobster crosses (Eye Candy x Apples & Bananas) that he is preparing in collaboration with Maine Trees for the first half of 2024. Blue Lobster has exploded on both coasts and is a 2024 Leafly Buzz strain.
Composite genetics
Compound Genetics and Node Labs have prepared Double Up (Mellowz #8 & Gastro Pop #5) for a 2024 run.
“The resulting buds are some of the best we’ve ever seen,” Compound said. With notes ranging from bubble gum, candy, fruit and citrus to kerosene and industrial chemicals.
Also don't miss The Scrooge by Compound, Jokerz #31 x The Menthol for a mintier, sweeter and creamier note.
Purple City genetics
The current favorite from Oakland clone and seed powerhouse Purple City Genetics is Curaçao – a cross between Maltese Orange (Lemon Tree Skorange x THC Bomb) x Caribbean Cookies. It's purple, has a yield of over 30% and “has a unique sour orange peel and cookie dough terp that makes it special. Super strong but uplifting and coating your mouth and nose until the last hit.”
Phinest
Speaking of cloners, Phinest in Sacramento, California is launching the Puffy Payton line Gary Payton x Banana Puffy from Colorado breeder Cannarado. Banana Puffy is Banana OG x Thin Mint. So this is cookie work with particularly high yields for flowers and hashish.
Puffy Payton is the undisputed champion of this year's Cannarado bounties
Phinest, Sacramento, California
Phinest says: “Purple with orange and lime green big banana terpenes. Consistently in the upper quartile of wholesale prices, Puffy is an elegant workhorse that's attracting the attention of growers in NorCal and is certainly on the California State podium due to its hash yield and fancy banana terp profile (with a twist). Gary will be fair this year) and plenty of trichome production.” See also: Cannarados Candyclysm.
Humboldt Seed Co
Leading the Humboldt Seed Co. hype train is Donutz (Lemon Cherry Gelato x GSC x OG). It tastes like glazed donuts and fuel and will be ready outside October 5-10. Humboldt Seed Co focuses on feminized seeds so you don't have a guy running through the girls in the garden. They also introduced the “triploid” Donutz, who in no way can become male. See also: Granny Candy.
Exotic Genetix
Washington-based Exotic Genetix Mike is stepping up his game for 2024 with Petrol Potion from his fresh line of Grape Jubilee crosses. See also: Twisted Terpz (Trop Runtz x Grape Jubilee).
Tiki Madman
And our 2023 Budtender's Choice strain Devil Driver returns in Tiki Madman's Pablo's Private Reserve (Devil Driver x Pablo's Revenge). Pablos Revenge has popped up on our radar as Leafly Buzz: Hot Strain of 2024. See also: Tiki Madman's Disco Tiger (Grape Zoda x Zoo Runtz), Blue Gushers Bx and Bacio Belts.
Sin City Seeds
Another big release from a grower favorite: Las Vegas-based Sin City Seeds is collaborating with Surfr Seeds on Rip Tide (Point Break x Blue Power IX2). Point Break is a lemony, cakey tropical cookie note. Blue Power is the power behind apples and bananas.
