Siberian Ruderalis
**Siberian Ruderalis** is a foundational landrace strain, not a modern hybrid. It is a pure, autoflowering *Cannabis ruderalis* subspecies native to the harsh climates of Siberia and Central/Eastern Europe.

Flowers based on age (not light cycle), making it crucial for breeding modern autoflowering hybrids. * **Extreme Hardiness:** Evolved to survive short, cool summers with resilience to cold, pests, and mold. * **Low THC, Higher CBD:** Naturally very low in psychoactive THC but has a more balanced cannabinoid profile with notable CBD, making it non-intoxicating and historically used for fiber and folk remedies. * **Compact Structure:** Short, bushy plants with small, airy buds and narrow leaves. **Modern Use:** Rarely grown or consumed on its own. Its genetics are used almost exclusively by breeders to transfer the autoflowering trait and hardiness to high-THC *indica* and *sativa* varieties, creating the popular autoflowering strains available today.
Super Skunk
**Super Skunk** is a legendary indica-dominant hybrid that revolutionized cannabis cultivation in the 1990s.
