A Cannabis Guide for Those Looking to Try the Best Strains of Fall 2021

Choosing the right cannabis strain is an important part of ensuring that you have the experience that you’re looking for, whether it’s getting your desired results (energized, relaxed, etc.) or finding the flavor profile you’re looking for. If you find yourself looking for a specific seasonal flavor profile or end result, check out some of the best cannabis strains of fall 2021 below.

What are Cannabis Strains?

Strains are different breeds of the cannabis plant that are bred to have specific effects on the user. The seeds sold under specific names are not necessarily genetically identical, since they may come from different sources or have been created by different users. However, many people find that there are certain key similarities between products sold under those strain names, even when it comes to products sold by different vendors. 

 

How Can You Choose the Right Strain to Fit Your Needs?

Choosing from the wide array of cannabis strains available can be confusing, especially if you’re trying cannabis for the first time. You should always keep in mind that different people may have different reactions to cannabis, so it’s important to experiment to see what may work best for you. If you’re inexperienced with cannabis, you may also find that consulting with one of the professionals at your local dispensary can make it easier to find the ideal strain for your specific needs. 

 

1. Learn the Different Cannabis Strains and Their Effects.

What’s the difference between indica and sativa? 

If you’re interested in expanding your knowledge of cannabis and choosing the ideal strain for your needs, start by getting to know the different types of cannabis plants and what they’re most likely to accomplish: 

  • Sativa strains are most likely to induce a happy high that can leave you feeling creative and energized.
  • Indica strains are most likely to produce a more relaxed, sleepy high; perfect for before bedtime.
  • Hybrid strains are a blend of sativa and indica strains, and can make you feel energetic, sleepy, creative, relaxed, or some combination of effects.

While knowing the type of cannabis plant is a key factor in picking the type of strain you’re looking for, it’s also important to keep in mind that most modern strains are technically hybrids after years of selective breeding (sativa-dominant or indica-dominant). Not only that, it’s generally the chemical profile, and the content of cannabinoids and terpenes that will determine how a particular strain affects you.

 

2. Determine How Each Type of Cannabis Strain Works for You.

Try a few different types of cannabis and monitor how they affect you. Learn more about what the various families have in common so that you can better predict your reaction to future strains. A knowledgeable local dispensary worker can help give you a better idea of how you might react to a new strain based on your previous experience. 

 

3. Consider Your Unique tolerance.

If you’re new to cannabis, you may want to start with strains that have lower THC levels – which you may also prefer if you’re susceptible to anxiety. A strain high in CBD can also help lower anxiety. If you’ve been using THC products for some time, however, you may notice that your tolerance starts creeping up. At this stage, many users progressively experiment with higher THC content or consider consuming higher quantities of cannabis little by little.

 

4. Use the Right Product.

In addition to choosing the right strain, you may want to consider what type of product you’re using. Edibles, for example, may deliver a longer-lasting high, especially if you start at the right low dose. 

 

Different Strains for Different Seasons

Like other plants, cannabis strains have their own growing cycles that depend on their physical environment. A plant grown in Hawaii may flower at a different time from a plant grown in California or Nevada. Environmental factors can also heavily influence cannabis growth. 

 

As fall rolls in, you may find that it’s easier to get local, or at least American-grown, cannabis plants that have grown outdoors, since that’s when those plants will flower naturally. Just like pumpkins, which are also most likely to be ripe during the fall, cannabis plants have specific times when they’re more readily available, based on the growing season in the region they come from. If you’ve gotten attached to a specific strain, that strain may grow harder to find as the seasons change. On the other hand, the arrival of fall strains could be the perfect opportunity to try out some amazing new hybrids – like the best cannabis strains of the fall season for 2021.

 

The Best Cannabis Strains to Enjoy This Fall

Take a look at some of our top-picked strains for Fall and how they may help you maximize your experience this season:

 

AC/DC

AC/DC is a unique strain on the market this fall. It traces back to a cross between Ruderalis and Cannatonic, giving it an earthy profile with notes of pine and fruit – all of which combine to make it an ideal choice for fall. AC/DC has an average 1-5% THC profile. Users who are sensitive to THC may find that this strain is the best fit for many of their needs. It often creates a euphoric and joyful feeling in many users, but may also offer help with reduction in symptoms of anxiety.  

 

Jack Flash

Jack Flash is a sativa-based strain that offers an uplifting, euphoric high. Users find that it’s ideal for improving activity levels and maintaining focus as you carry out your usual responsibilities or head into the great outdoors to enjoy the sights and scents of fall.

This strain offers a relatively light high that does not seem to have a substantial impact on the body, which means that it may be ideal if you’re interested in trying out cannabis for the first time. 

 

Super Silver Haze

The arrival of the fall season means shorter days, and with it, many people find themselves suffering from the winter blues – which can set in as early as fall, especially if you aren’t able to spend as much time outdoors. Super Silver Haze is the ideal solution for those winter blues. As a cross between indica and sativa strains, including Northern Light and Haze, Super Silver Haze results in an energized, upbeat effect that’s sure to have you feeling ready to face whatever the fall may send your way. 

 

Girl Scout Cookies

It might not be Girl Scout Cookie season, but you can substitute your favorite sugary treats with a cannabis strain that will offer a user-friendly high. GSC is high in THC, with a level of around 25%, so a little can go a long way. It has a skunky aroma with hints of mint that call you back to Thin Mints and other favorites. GSC is a hybrid strain, which means that it will create the full-body relaxation that can help you get into the fall spirit or relax with your favorite horror movie playing in the background while offering a euphoric high that can add to your energy levels.

 

Flight

While Flight is a sativa strain, it nonetheless delivers a mellow, euphoric high that will have you feeling relaxed and ready to take in those gorgeous fall days. It has a fruity, earthy flavor that calls red wine to mind, making it the ideal complement to fall evening activities. Sit back and relax on the couch with Flight while you enjoy a high that will have you feeling relaxed while creating relatively little impact on your body as a whole: the perfect way to feel more mellow without a negative impact later. 

 

Harlequin

Looking for the perfect strain for the fall season? Not only is the name appropriate to masking up for Halloween, Harlequin is the perfect option for clearing your head, focusing in on the task at hand, and getting things done. Harlequin is a sativa-dominant strain with a CBD:THC ratio of 5:2, which means that it’s most likely to create a sense of alertness while decreasing overall psychoactive effects. It has an earthy flavor with a hint of mango, which is perfect for combining with many of your fall favorite activities. Harlequin can also help reduce anxiety and decrease bodily inflammation.

 

Wedding Cake

Wedding Cake, also known as Pink Cookies, is a cross between Triangle Kush and Animal Mints. It has a very high THC content and relatively little CBD, with an average 23-25% THC content. It has an earthy, tangy flavor with a slightly sweet note that will be sure to enhance your enjoyment. It elicits a quick response, with immediate euphoria and heightened senses. Wedding Cake could be the ideal way to satisfy that sweet craving left over from Halloween while inducing an immense sense of relaxation and euphoria that can help you feel less anxious and better prepared to face the day.
