Exotic Cannabis Seeds: 29 Genetics, Priced in NZD with GST Included
29 of the less common genetics in the catalogue — limited lines, unusual crosses, and cultivars that never entered wide circulation. Rarity cuts both ways for a grower. These are the plants worth running if you already know what you are doing and want something that is not in every second garden; they are also the ones with the thinnest published grow data, so more of the fields on these listings are blank. The group runs 10 indica-leaning, 4 sativa-leaning, 15 balanced hybrid.
Also worth a look: high-THC seeds where most of these strains also appear, fruity strains for the terpene profile these are known for, and purple genetics for the colour many exotics throw.

What this shelf holds
29 varieties sit on this shelf right now, and the THC figures on their listings run from 16% up to 29%, with the middle of the group at 23%. Counted from the catalogue when this page was built, so it matches the grid below.
- Photoperiod, all female: 20 of them (69%). You choose when they flower, and they carry the most weight per plant.
- Day-neutral: 9 (31%). These run on age, so the New Zealand daylight cycle is irrelevant to them.
- Indica-leaning: 10. Short and wide, quicker to finish, and usually myrcene-forward.
- Sativa-leaning: 4. Taller, later, and worth the season length only where you have it.
- Balanced crosses: 15. Somewhere between the two, and generally the easier grow for it.
- First three alphabetically: Apple Runtz, Biscotti and Blue Biscotti. The grid below filters on finishing time, height and type.

How These 29 Varieties Break Down
Of the 29 varieties here, 10 lean indica (34%), 4 lean sativa (14%), 15 sit as balanced hybrids (52%). 9 of the 29 are autoflowering (31%), and the remaining 20 flower on a light cycle. The mean listed THC across the group is about 23%, 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. Gisborne gives you first light in the country and dry summers, though the season narrows quickly after April. Hawke's Bay, by contrast, gives you hot dry summers and low autumn rainfall, which is close to ideal for outdoor cannabis. 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.
Narrowing a Long List
The fastest way through a category this size is to eliminate rather than compare. Environment first: a tent, a greenhouse and an open paddock rule out different halves of the list. Season second: your first frost date sets a maximum flowering time, and in Southland or Central Otago that alone removes most of the slower varieties. Height third, if you are growing where the plant needs to stay out of sight. Type and potency come last, not first — they are the fields most people sort by and the ones least likely to make a grow succeed or fail. This applies to the 20 photoperiod varieties in this category; the other 9 run on age instead.
