Top 5 cannabis strains to make hash with

Hash is made from compressed trichomes. These can be removed from your cannabis buds using the water/ice method, dry sifting and other techniques. Hash can be excruciatingly expensive to buy, especially premium quality grades. But those that grow their own plants from cannabis seeds can make it easily and inexpensively, from the cannabis buds as well as the trimmed fan leaves, sugar leaves etc.
What kind of weed makes the best hash?
The best cannabis seeds to grow for hash-making are those that produce abundant resin levels and a particularly heavy density of trichomes. Combine fine quality cannabis genetics with expertly honed hash making skills and the resulting hash can be truly historic.
Potency levels on hash and cannabis concentrates can be several times that of weed, meaning you can look forward to some premium quality cannabis concentrates. Hash connoisseurs often insist that the rich tastes and depth of flavour make hash uniquely enjoyable.

Best cannabis strains to make your own hash
Lots of Dutch Passion growers have great success making cannabis concentrates such as hash by growing a wide range of the cannabis seed collection. But some strains are a hash-makers dream, with heavy trichome frosting, branch-ending yields and wide-growing latitudes which make them easy even for less experienced growers.
Our selection includes a mix of feminised seeds, autoflower seeds and some reliable strains which will serve the outdoor cannabis grower/guerrilla grower well.
Glueberry OG, outrageously sticky buds in XL quantities
Glueberry OG is a humdinger genetic cocktail made from a cannabis cup winning 3-way blend of Gorilla Glue #4, Blueberry and OG Kush. She is available in photoperiod feminised seeds as well as autoflowering cannabis seeds (as Auto Glueberry OG).
Glueberry OG takes 8-9 weeks in bloom producing very high THC levels alongside her trademark heavy yields. The genetics are a blend of indica and sativa producing rock hard buds with a distinct OG Kush aroma and a fruity twist. It’s a high-end strain with premium results and above average yield & potency. She is also tough enough to cope well with outdoor cultivation in mild climates.
Glueberry OG is also a great strain to make hash with thanks to her dense trichome frosting. Few strains seem to produce quite as much resin, a fact that has seen Glueberry OG accumulate high numbers of repeat growers who adore the stress-busting effects and soul-soothing qualities. Hash made from her is exquisitely enjoyable, full of flavour and numbingly powerful.

Think Fast, recessive autoflower genetics for fast blooming and great outdoor robustness
Think Fast is offered as photoperiod feminised cannabis seeds which carry recessive autoflower genes. This makes Think Fast cruise through her life at a slightly faster pace than traditional feminised strains. Indoors, her greasy blooms are ready to harvest after 8 weeks of 12/12 light.
Outdoors she is ready to harvest during September in the Northern Hemisphere (March in the Southern Hemisphere). That’s often a few weeks earlier than many traditional outdoor cannabis strains, the accelerated outdoor bloom speed is helped by the recessive autoflower genetics.
Trichomes appear early and build in quantity, often surprising the grower with thick matted layers of resin on the buds and resin crusts on the leaves. It’s the unusually rapid resin/trichome accumulation that has made Think Fast seeds a repeat best seller with cannabis concentrate connoisseurs.

Auto Night Queen, compact fast blooming indica genetics with a powerful anti-anxiety effect
Auto Night Queen is often ready to harvest around (or even within) 10 weeks of autoflower seed germination. Any hash connoisseurs looking for a fast turnaround will find few strains any better.
The tough Afghani Kush indica genetics produce compact plants, typically reach 50-70cm with a maximum height of 1m. Despite the small size the numerous side branches provide heavy yields. The dense buds grind up to produce way more weed than you would imagine.
These are serious Afghani Kush hash-plant genetics with abundant resin production, an easy top-5 choice for any hash lover wanting to get maximum value from their harvest.
Auto Night Queen is one of Dutch Passion’s premier autoflower breeding projects. Buds with around 20% THC are yours for the taking within 70 days or so after autoflower seed germination.
Her photoperiod parent Night Queen took 1st Place in the 2015 Champions Cup, Malaga. While Auto Night Queen took 1st Place in the 2016 Highlife Cup in the autoflower category just after her release. She delivers everything a serious autoflower grower could want. A rich satisfying smoke, epic resin levels, dense buds, compact structure and a (sub) 10-week bloom.

Power Plant, the original cannabis cup winning classic
Some hash lovers adore hash made from sativa cannabis genetics. The typically heavy effects of the hash contrast deliciously with an energetic/creative buzz from the sativa. Many claim hash doesn’t get much better!
Power Plant is an iconic sativa strain with South African roots. She is known for a more compact stature than most other sativa strains alongside true XXL yields. Bloom time of just 8 weeks is about as fast as it gets for a quality photoperiod feminised sativa cannabis strain.
But it’s the unusually high yields for cannabis concentrate users which has made Power Plant feminised seeds such a hit with hash producers. Auto Power Plant uses the same proven genetics for those that prefer the speed and convenience of autoflowering cannabis seeds.

Auto Banana Blaze, elite Afghani Kush autoflower with great hash yields
Auto Banana Blaze is another killer Afghani Kush strain that produces excellent results for hash makers. She is an indica dominant strain that takes around 12 weeks to grow from autoflower seed to harvest. That’s perhaps a week or so longer than your typical auto, but the extra week allows the resin to ooze and max-out your hash production.
Auto Banana Blaze grows in the typical Dutch Passion autoflower style, with a dominant central bloom surrounded by a ring of side blooms, all of which yield very heavily in optimised conditions. The buds, as well as concentrates made from Auto Banana Blaze, enjoy a sweet creamy taste with unusual banana flavours. With very high THC levels, Auto Banana Blaze is one of Dutch Passion’s most resinous indica autoflower strains with a deeply satisfying effect.

How to choose the best cannabis seeds for your hash
Experienced cannabis concentrate fans know that some strains will produce higher concentrate yields than others. Your cannabis seed supplier should know their genetics well enough to predict the likely THC/cannabinoid levels and understand whether the strain is suited to cannabis concentrate/hashish making.
You can make great quality hash (or other cannabis concentrates) whether you grow your cannabis seeds indoors or outdoors. Likewise, it doesn't matter whether you grow from feminised cannabis seeds or autoflower seeds. Just ensure that your chosen strain is a high-end yielder of trichome resin glands and easy to grow.
Remember to save and use all your trimmed fan leaves and sugar leaves for your hash making adventures. All of these will contribute to your hash production. There are few finer moments for a hash connoisseur than sitting down at the end of a grow with a tempting stash of full-melt hash to enjoy. Starting with the right cannabis seeds makes the process much easier!
