The best American Strains
American strains are the clear trend in marijuana seeds for this year, and many others. Therefore, we have made this list presenting some of the best American marijuana strains. In the article you will discover some of our favourite strains from America, all of them very potent and with great resin proliferation.
Top 7 Best American Marijuana
American cannabis strains enjoy an excellent acceptance by collectors, breeders from all over the world have established their base in the new continent so that they can work on their new creations with peace of mind. American genetics are particularly sought after by breeders around the world due to their potency, flavour and ability to generate resin. Therefore, it is not surprising that many seed banks market these varieties, as they are usually the best sellers each year.
Banana Split
We start our list of the best American marijuana strains with one of DNA Genetics’ greatest hits, the Banana Split, a strain named after a famous dessert. Banana Split is a hybrid creation developed by this famous bank, which has a base in the USA and another in Holland.
To obtain this marvellous Banana Split, this seed bank combined Tangie, a classic reference within this manufacturer, with Banana Sherbet. The result is a marijuana with exclusive American genetics, potent, slightly Sativa dominant at 60%, as well as with a marked and delicious complex flavour.
The shape of Banana Split is compact, but it has a vigorous growth. So much so that outdoors, if its height is not controlled, it can grow to a considerable height. Indoors or outdoors, a good SCROG is recommended to control the height of this strain.
It has a flowering time of 56 to 63 days in indoor crops. In the case of outdoor crops, Banana Split is harvested around the third week after the end of summer. It is important to note that Banana Split is pest resistant and easy to grow.
In this very short flowering time, Banana Split can produce up to 500 grams per square meter indoors, while outdoors, depending on the space and climate, it can exceed this figure by far. This reflects its great production capacity, which together with its quality makes it a very top strain.
Its effects can be very potent, thanks to its THC concentration, which has not been disclosed by the bank, although it is assumed to be high, or very high. You will feel a long-lasting cloud of creativity and psychoactivity. Finally, its taste is very rich thanks to its complex flavour mix of aromas of biscuit, ginger, clove, citrus and berries. Undoubtedly, one of the best American marijuana ever.

The Wedding Cake is an Indica-dominant hybrid marijuana strain. This is most evident in its size. While it will not exceed one meter in height when grown indoors, it can reach 2 meters in height when grown outdoors. Be prepared for buds that will stick to your pruning scissors, because Wedding Cake comes with a high production of resin.
It has a rapid flowering time of only 55 to 60 days in the case of indoor cultivation. On the other hand, you will be able to harvest Wedding Cake outdoors the very same week that summer ends. This combined with its high production level gives it a solid position among the Top 7 this year.
Speaking of production, Wedding Cake has been reported to produce up to 650 grams per square meter. This is a wonderful figure for a quickly flowering strain, as its short flowering period renders it incredibly profitable. Outdoors, this strain can produce up to 2 kilos per plant.
