The collection would be sprawling, to say the least, if someone were to catalog all the cannabis strains in existence. The proliferation of cultivars has grown over time, with legalization adding staggering amounts of fuel to the fire.

Producers are now better documenting which plants are ideal strains for hash, which are the best rosin strains and all other extraction types.

Exotic Genetix
This Tacoma, Washington-based breeder started in the early days of the medical marijuana market, where founder and breeder Mike donated his time at the local hydroponics store in exchange for gardening equipment. After seeing scores of people ask how to kill bugs and mildew, many of which were medical patients growing their own supply, Mike got thinking. A solution began as a small tent-based grow, which helped patients grow their own medicine without concerns about contaminants.
Three strains began what would become Exotic Genetix: Supernatural, Essence, and Flurple. Handing out these strains to other growers created a boom that would grow a business alongside the passionate care that got things started. In the years since, Exotic Genetix expanded its portfolio to include stellar cultivar creations, including Wet Betty, Truffle Monkey and Apes in Space.
