Must-Try Strains of Spring 2021

Spring means different things depending on where you live.

For some folks, it's birds chirping, flowers blooming, and finally being able to enjoy a smoke session outside without needing three layers and a winter coat.

For everyone else, it's pollen. Endless pollen.

The kind that coats your car, your patio furniture, your dog, and somehow finds its way into places that science still can't explain.

Regardless of whether you're welcoming spring with open arms or hiding indoors waiting for allergy season to end, cannabis cultivators have been hard at work introducing exciting new genetics and reviving some old favorites.

So grab your grinder, pack a bowl, and let's take a look at some of the most talked-about strains of Spring 2021.

Gelato 45

If you've spent any time around cannabis enthusiasts lately, you've probably heard somebody talking about Gelato 45.

This balanced hybrid has quickly earned a reputation for delivering a potent experience while still maintaining the kind of uplifting vibe that many consumers look for during social gatherings.

With THC levels often hovering around the 20% mark or higher, Gelato 45 isn't exactly beginner territory. Users commonly describe feeling relaxed, cheerful, and more inclined to engage in conversation.

In other words, if you've ever needed a strain to help transform awkward small talk into a three-hour discussion about whether hot dogs are technically sandwiches, Gelato 45 might be your new best friend.

Cement Shoes

The name alone should probably give you a hint.

Cement Shoes isn't the strain you reach for before reorganizing the garage or tackling your spring cleaning list.

This heavy-hitting hybrid is widely known for its deeply relaxing effects and frequently appears on dispensary recommendations for evening use.

Many consumers report feeling calm, comfortable, and perfectly content spending the rest of the evening parked in their favorite chair.

Sometimes life is about productivity.

Sometimes life is about becoming one with the couch.

Cement Shoes understands this distinction.

Strawberry Cookies

Cannabis breeders apparently decided that combining two beloved strains wasn't enough anymore.

Now we're getting creations like Strawberry Cookies, a flavorful hybrid that continues to gain popularity among consumers seeking a balanced experience.

Many users describe a pleasant combination of relaxation and mood elevation, making it a popular choice for unwinding without necessarily feeling glued to the furniture.

And honestly, any strain with "strawberry" and "cookies" in the name already sounds like a successful evening.

Platinum Punch

Finding Platinum Punch can sometimes feel like trying to locate the last shopping cart in a crowded grocery store parking lot.

Everyone wants one, and they're never where you expect them to be.

This hybrid has developed a loyal following thanks to its unique flavor profile and balanced effects. Consumers often describe an uplifting experience accompanied by a smooth transition into relaxation.

Unlike some strains that hit immediately, Platinum Punch is frequently described as a "slow burn" experience.

The type where you take a couple hits and think:

"This isn't doing much."

And then fifteen minutes later you're deeply invested in a documentary about octopuses.

Glueberry

If strain names were judged purely on creativity, Glueberry would already be a winner.

Born from a combination of legendary genetics, this hybrid has become a favorite among consumers who enjoy energetic and uplifting experiences.

Many users report feeling motivated, happy, and mentally engaged after consuming Glueberry, making it a popular daytime option.

Of course, "motivated" means different things to different people.

For some, that means finally finishing a project.

For others, it means spending two hours researching the history of vending machines.

Both are valid.

Now and Later

Named after the iconic candy, Now and Later has developed a reputation for delivering sweet flavors alongside a relaxing experience.

Consumers frequently report that the effects build gradually rather than arriving all at once, making it a favorite among those who enjoy easing into their sessions.

Many users reserve this one for evenings when there are no major responsibilities left on the schedule.

Because let's be honest, nobody wants to explain to their boss why they accidentally spent an entire Zoom meeting staring at their own reflection.

Honey Bun

We saved the heavyweight for last.

Honey Bun quickly earned attention among cannabis enthusiasts thanks to its impressive potency and distinctive appearance.

With THC levels frequently testing in the mid-20% range, this isn't necessarily the first strain we'd recommend to someone who still refers to cannabis as "the marijuana."

Consumers often describe deeply relaxing effects accompanied by sweet flavors and aromas that live up to the strain's name.

One additional side effect shows up in user reviews again and again:

The munchies.

Not regular munchies.

The kind of munchies that convince you making a grilled cheese sandwich at midnight is a life-changing spiritual experience.

Proceed accordingly.

Make the Most of Your Flower

Whether you're trying one of these newer strains or sticking with an old favorite, getting the most out of your flower comes down to more than just what's in the jar.

Many cannabis consumers are surprised to discover how much the lighting method can affect flavor and overall enjoyment. That's one reason hemp wick continues to gain popularity among smokers looking for a more controlled flame and a cleaner-tasting experience compared to traditional butane lighters.

After all, if you're investing in premium flower, why not experience as much of its natural flavor profile as possible?

If you've never tried hemp wick before, we're always happy to help change that with a free sample.
