1970s — Early Hybridization Cannabis Strains
The 1970s saw the first intentional cross-breeding of landrace genetics in the West. Haze combined four sativa landraces into the ultimate psychedelic strain. Skunk #1 became the first stabilized hybrid. Northern Lights set the standard for indoor indica growing. 6 entries in this era.
Durban Poison
Durban, Durban Poison SativaA pure sativa landrace from the port city of Durban, South Africa. Unlike most sativas, Durban Poison has a manageable flowering time and exceptional resin production, making it a staple of sativa breeding.
Haze

Northern Lights
NL, Northern Lights #5The most celebrated indica hybrid of all time. Northern Lights set the standard for what an indoor indica could be: compact, fast-flowering, high-yielding, and powerfully relaxing. Its genetics are the primary indica foundation of modern hybrid breeding.
