Best Seller Seeds — 111 Varieties Shipped Across New Zealand
The 111 varieties ordered most often from this store. Popularity is a real signal but a narrow one: it tells you what people buy, which is shaped as much by name recognition and price as by how the plant performs in a New Zealand garden. It is a reasonable shortlist and a poor filter. Read the flowering window against your own season before you let the crowd decide for you. Composition is 34 indica-leaning, 24 sativa-leaning, 49 balanced hybrid.
Also worth a look: classic strains for the older names on this list, exotic strains for the newer ones, and mix packs to try several without committing to one.

What this shelf holds
111 varieties sit on this shelf right now, and the THC figures on their listings run from 5% up to 29%, with the middle of the group at 21%. Counted from the catalogue when this page was built, so it matches the grid below.
- Photoperiod, all female: 73 of them (66%). You choose when they flower, and they carry the most weight per plant.
- Day-neutral: 38 (34%). These run on age, so the New Zealand daylight cycle is irrelevant to them.
- Indica-leaning: 34. Short and wide, quicker to finish, and usually myrcene-forward.
- Sativa-leaning: 24. Taller, later, and worth the season length only where you have it.
- Balanced crosses: 49. Somewhere between the two, and generally the easier grow for it.
- CBD-forward: 4. Bred for a different cannabinoid balance, with THC correspondingly lower.
- First three alphabetically: 98 Aloha White Widow, Alien Gorilla Glue and Amnesia. The grid below filters on finishing time, height and type.

The Composition of This Group
Of the 111 varieties here, 34 lean indica (31%), 24 lean sativa (22%), 49 sit as balanced hybrids (44%), 4 are CBD-forward. 38 of the 111 are autoflowering (34%), and the remaining 73 flower on a light cycle. The mean listed THC across the group is about 21%, which is a genetic ceiling rather than a guarantee — the figure a plant actually reaches depends on light, feeding and harvest timing. These counts are read from the catalogue when the page is built, so they move when stock moves and cannot drift away from what is listed below.
Growing This Category Outdoors in New Zealand
New Zealand spans roughly 34 to 47 degrees south, and the outdoor season at one end of that range looks nothing like the other. Northland gives you the longest outdoor season in the country, paid for with subtropical humidity through the autumn finish. Auckland, by contrast, gives you mild winters and a long season, usually grown on small urban sections where plant height is the limit. Read the flowering window on any variety you plan to grow outside against your own first-frost date, not against a national average. The variable that ends most New Zealand outdoor grows is not cold and it is not light — it is botrytis in dense flower during a wet autumn, so airflow, spacing and an honest finishing date do more for a harvest than any nutrient decision.
Choosing From a Wide Group
A category this broad rewards narrowing before browsing. Decide the environment first — tent, greenhouse, or open ground — because that eliminates more of the list than any other single question. Then set your finishing deadline: if you are south of Christchurch and growing outside, anything with an eleven-week bloom is already ruled out. Only then look at type and potency, which is the order most people reverse. Each listing shows whatever cultivation data we were able to trace and shows nothing where we were not, so a blank flowering window is an admission rather than an oversight. This applies to the 73 photoperiod varieties in this category; the other 38 run on age instead.
