The Most Iconic Cannabis Strains of All Time! The Genetics That Changed Growing Forever | Grow Guides Ep. 76
Fri Feb 06 2026
In this week’s Grow Guides, we’re taking a trip through cannabis history and breaking down the most iconic strains of all time. The genetics that shaped modern growing, breeding, and consumption as we know it.
We talk through legendary names like Skunk #1, Northern Lights, Haze, and Afghani, before moving into modern classics such as White Widow, OG Kush, Chemdawg, and Sour Diesel. We also cover AK-47, Blueberry, Durban Poison, and Gorilla Glue #4, looking at where they came from, why they stood out, and how their influence is still felt in today’s genetics.
This episode isn’t about hype or marketing, it’s about why these strains mattered. We discuss stability, flavour lineage, flavour, effects, and how each of these cultivars helped push growing techniques and breeding forward.
Whether you’ve grown them, smoked them, or only heard the names whispered with reverence, this episode gives proper context to the strains that built the foundations of modern cannabis culture.
As always, join us on Percy's Grow Room if you want to learn more, get help with your grow, or hang out with thousands of growers just like you.
