Below is a list of the best strains to check out in 2019, along with a few additions of new and exciting strains to keep an eye out for.
ATLANT CBD
Atlant CBD is a sativa-dominant variety featuring 70% sativa genetics and 30% indica genetics. This strain is one for those seeking large therapeutic doses of CBD along with almost no presence of THC. This strain offers staggeringly high values of CBD up to 21%. The flowers of Atlant CBD can be used to craft extracts, oils, and tinctures that will offer users incredibly potent and condensed products. The strain contains only 0.5–0.6% THC, resulting in a CBD:THC ratio of around 24:1. Such low values of THC mean this strain has no psychoactive effect.
LSD AUTO
LSD Auto is a hybrid strain that is the result of crossbreeding parent strains LSD and Super Magnum Auto. This lady is known to pack a powerful and psychedelic punch, hence her hallucinogenic name. The high comes on fast, lasts a long time, and is purely recommended for experienced smokers, as she’s likely to overwhelm beginners. LSD Auto offers fast results, erupting from seed to harvest in as little as 64 days. She grows well both indoors and outdoors.

THREE BLUE KINGS
Three Blue Kings is an indica-dominant hybrid that features 70% indica genetics and 30% sativa. She was created via a breeding program between Blue Dream and Three Kings. This lady has serious attitude with monstrously large THC levels of 24%. This culminates in a potent and mind-melting high that will leave users glued to the couch with rampant appetites. This body high relaxes muscles and eases stress like nothing else. Indoor plants produce impressive yields of up to 600g/m² and grow to tall heights.

The terpenes within the flowers give a piney taste and aroma that is equally as relaxing.
