Tetrahydrocannabinol otherwise known as THC is the chemical compound found in marijuana that produces its psychological effects. It works by stimulating the brain to release hormones such as dopamine, which is often referred to as ‘the happy hormone’. By releasing these hormones users start to feel the euphoric high that cannabis is best known for.

That’s why our professional team of growers have compiled a list of 20 of the top high THC strains 2021 that money can buy.

- Yield: 500 - 600 g/m2
- Flowering: 8 - 10 weeks
- Height: 180 - 200 cm
- CBD: <1%
- Couch Locked | Relaxed
Our list of the highest THC strains 2021 would not be complete without the world famous Gorilla Glue. Also known as GG#4 this knockout cannabis strain was aptly named after the famous super glue brand ‘Gorilla Glue’, because when the breeders harvested the plant, it was said that there was so much of the sticky resin that it stuck your scissors and fingers together like glue.
Gorilla Glue has won numerous awards since it was introduced in 2014, including 1st Place at the 2014 Cannabis Cup in LA and Michigan and more recently 1st Place at the 2018 Spannabis Cannabis Championship Cup.
Gorilla Glue is most well known for its super high potency and has been lab recorded at 32% THC multiple times, it is arguably the strongest cannabis strain in the world.
Training techniques: Gorilla Glue works well with most plant training techniques, although a trick to produce bigger yields and the highest THC levels is Supercropping. this is because the stress inflicted on the plant often causes the plant to increase nutrient uptake and increase trichome production. Gorilla Glue being a trichome rich plant works wonders with Supercropping. Read more on how to train your cannabis plants
Gorilla Glue #4 is a 50:50 hybrid, the plant will grow to around 200cm tall and have a dense foliage for dark green leaves spattered with white crystals. The buds grow thick and solid and will be heavily clustered spread over multiple main bud sites and the buds themselves will be a vibrant green colour with purple hues. The buds are so sticky and trichome rich that just simply breaking one open will fill a room with GG4’s famous musky, earthy, sweet aromas that will have you reaching for the rolling papers in an instant.
Gorilla Glue #4 is widely known as one of the strongest, if not the highest thc strain on the planet, with lab tested percentages up to 32%. The strain is not for the faint hearted and will give you one of the most intense highs you are likely to experience. When you smoke Gorilla Glue you will almost immediately be hit by its heavy full body buzz that will inevitably lead to couch lock. Gorilla Glue is a very intense high so is probably best suited to smoking in the evening when you can relax or simply if you have a day off work. Medicinally many users have reported that it is a great strain to combat stress or depression thanks to its intense euphoric highs, but equally it can be used as a natural pain relief or muscle relaxant.
Gorilla Glue thanks to its trichome covered buds gives off an incredibly strong aroma of diesel with notes of coffee and earthiness. The taste is a strong skunky taste with undertones of citrus fruits and earthiness.

THC Bomb feminised was the first ever strain produced by the little known Dutch breeder Bomb Seeds. It is their flagship strain first introduced to the cannabis scene in the early 2000's.
This super high THC strain was recently lab tested and came back at over 32% THC, which is why we had to include it in our highest THC strains 2021 list. The 32% THC is even higher than is stated by MSNL or the Breeder. The true potential of this strain is still to be discovered by the wider cannabis community, but if you are feeling adventurous and want to grow something that not so many other growers will have then THC Bomb is the strain to grow.
THC Bomb is an indica dominant hybrid that will grow short and squat with the average height reaching 100-180cm. It will grow in a typical Christmas tree style shape, with a thick foliage that is clustered with dense solid buds. You can expect impressive yields from this strain of up to 600g/m2, which is astounding for a strain that has such high THC levels.
Because of its short stature, THC Bomb is a great strain for growing indoors. I have seen great results when using the ScrOG method combined with some defoliation to manipulate its shape and really take advantage of the bushy plant. If you are looking for a strain that has both knockout THC levels and big yields, then THC Bomb is the perfect strain.
THC Bomb is a super powerful indica dominant strain that will leave you feeling relaxed and at time couch locked. The first smoke of this strain will give you a rush of euphoria that will gradually slip into a heavy full body indica stone. Like all high THC strains users have reported dry mount so keep a drink nearby to quench your thirst.
Because of the indica heavy high from THC Bomb, it is a great strain to smoke at night time to combat insomnia.
THC Bomb has a sweet earthy aroma with hints of citrus fruits. The taste is earthy with sweet undertones reminiscent of tropical fruits.
Bomb Seeds keep the genetics of their flagship strain a mystery, what we do know is that it is a knockout mix of their Bomb #1 and an unknown indica.

At an impressive 30% and over, the THC levels of Bruce Banner are not to be taken lightly. Unlike most high THC strains Bruce Banner is a Sativa dominant hybrid that will leave you feeling uplifted but still hazy.
Bruce Banner won the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2013 and at the time the sample was tested at 28.35% THC which made it the highest THC strain tested in the history of the High Times Cannabis Cup. Renowned for being one of the highest THC marijuana strains in existence Bruce Banner #3 is a must try for any cannabis connoisseurs that enjoy strong weed.
Bruce Banner #3 thanks to its sativa heritage is a tall plant that has been known to display three main phenotypes, all three with incredibly high THC percentages.
Physically Bruce Banner is a stunning plant to look at. In flowering the plant develops bold green leaves with vibrant colored buds covered in orange and brown pistols. Towards the end of flowering the buds will be completely covered in trichomes that make the plant glisten and incredibly sticky to the touch.
This is where Bruce Banner really comes into its own and why it makes it onto our highest THC strains 2021 list. It is likely that you wont have ever smoked anything as strong as Bruce Banner before, so go easy on your first smoke. On your first inhale you will experience a big hit that will make your head feel hazy and slightly stunned, some have experienced such relaxedness that they cannot even think for the first few seconds. This gradually leads into a feeling of utter euphoria as the body numbing buzz hits you. Thanks to its sativa genetics you will find that despite its high THC percentage, Bruce Banner does not give you the couch locked feeling that most high THC strains give. But instead gives you a more creative and sociable high perfect for a strain to kickstart the day with.
Bruce Banner #3 smells incredibly pungent from the moment the plant begins to develop flowers. The smells will be strong skunky aromas typical of cannabis plants but also with undertones of candy and citrus fruits. As you dry the bud Bruce Banner will begin to develop more floral notes and only when you have fully cured it can the full depth of smell be truly appreciated.
It is advisable to use a good carbon filter when growing this strain due to the strong odor the plant is known to produce.
The flavours of Bruce Banner #3 are even more appealing than the smell, as the crackle of your first smoke is inhaled you mouth will be filled with flavours of citrus fruits with a sweet candylike aftertaste that is reminiscent of a hot summers day.
Bruce Banner #3 is a hybrid strain but with 60% Sativa dominance bred from OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel. The two parent strains blended together to create the perfect combination of a high THC strain that is a great smoke.
