Crackers Cannabis Seeds by Super Strains
Crackers is a sativa-dominant feminised cannabis seed from Super Strains that crosses Amnesia with a NL5 x Haze hybrid — a genetic lineup that reads like a who's who of cerebral sativas. With 16% THC and a notable 5% CBD, this strain offers an unusual cannabinoid ratio that creates a more rounded experience than your typical sativa. Available in packs of 3 or 5 seeds.
This guide is written for adults aged 18 and over.
Why Crackers Feminised Seeds Stand Out
Crackers delivers something you don't see often: a sativa with genuine CBD content. Most sativa-leaning strains push THC and leave CBD as an afterthought, but Crackers sits at 16% THC alongside 5% CBD. That's a roughly 3:1 ratio, which according to research into cannabinoid interactions, may produce a more balanced effect profile than strains where THC dominates entirely. The combination of these two cannabinoids working together — sometimes called the entourage effect — is what gives Crackers its distinctive character.
The genetics tell the story. Amnesia brings the cerebral intensity and that unmistakable haze-family headspace. The NL5 x Haze hybrid parent reinforces the sativa architecture while contributing structural vigour. The result is a plant that grows tall, yields generously, and produces flower with a spicy, earthy profile underscored by musky notes. If you've ever lit up a proper Amnesia cut and thought "I wish this had a bit more body to it" — that's roughly where Crackers lands.
One honest limitation: this is not a beginner-friendly grow. She reaches up to 300cm — that's nearly 10 feet — and the 11-week flowering period demands patience. If you've got the vertical space and the experience, the payoff is worth it. If your grow room has a 2-metre ceiling, look at something more compact first.
Crackers Seed Variants — 3 or 5 Pack
Crackers feminised seeds come in two pack sizes:
| Pack Size | SKU | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 3 seeds | CSHS0011 | First-time growers of this strain — test how she performs in your setup before committing |
| 5 seeds | CSHS0016 | Outdoor growers with space who want to select the strongest phenotype from a larger sample |
We'd pick the 5-pack if you're growing outdoors. With a strain this tall, you'll want a few plants to choose from — phenotype variation means some will branch differently, and selecting the best performer gives you a much better harvest.

Flavour and Aroma Profile of Crackers
Crackers produces flower with a spicy, earthy character — think dried herbs and warm soil — with a musky undertone that lingers on the exhale. It's not sweet, it's not fruity, and it won't remind you of a bag of sweets. This is old-school sativa flavour territory: complex, savoury, and a bit rough around the edges in the best possible way. The Amnesia parentage comes through clearly in the nose, with that sharp, almost peppery bite that Haze-family strains are known for.
If you're used to modern cookie and cake crosses that taste like dessert, Crackers will feel like a different world. We'd compare it most closely to a classic Amnesia Haze in terms of flavour direction, but with more depth and earthiness from the NL5 influence. The musky background note is distinctive — it's not unpleasant, just unusual, and it's what makes Crackers smell different from every other Amnesia cross on the shelf.
How to Grow Crackers Cannabis Seeds
Crackers rewards experienced growers with massive yields, but she demands respect. Here's what a successful grow looks like, step by step.
- Choose your environment carefully. Outdoor is the recommended setting — Crackers reaches up to 300cm and needs vertical space. Indoor growing is possible but only if you have ceiling height to spare and experience with training techniques like LST or SCROG to manage her stretch.
- Germinate using your preferred method. Paper towel, direct soil, or jiffy pellets all work. Keep temperatures between 20-25°C and maintain moisture without waterlogging. Expect taproots within 24-72 hours.
- Provide strong light from the start. Sativa-dominant genetics mean Crackers will stretch toward the light aggressively. Keep your light source close enough during veg to prevent excessive internodal spacing — leggy seedlings become structural problems later.
- Support the stems early. This is the single most critical step with Crackers. At 300cm, the main stem and side branches carry serious weight during flower. Install bamboo stakes or a trellis net before the stretch begins, not after. We've seen growers lose branches — and entire colas — because they waited too long.
- Expect an 11-week flowering period. Don't rush the harvest. Sativa-dominant strains like Crackers need those extra weeks to develop full resin production and terpene complexity. Chopping early will cost you potency and flavour.
- Harvest and dry slowly. With yields up to 800g/m², you'll have a lot of material to process. Dry at 18-20°C with 55-60% humidity for 10-14 days, then cure in glass jars for at least two weeks. The spicy, musky terpene profile develops significantly during a proper cure.
Why Crackers Deserves a Spot in Your Garden
The cannabis seed market is full of Amnesia crosses. Dozens of seed banks have their own version, and most of them push THC as high as possible while ignoring everything else. Crackers takes a different approach. The 5% CBD content alongside 16% THC creates a cannabinoid profile that's genuinely uncommon in sativa-dominant genetics. According to research published in PMC, the interaction between THC and CBD — sometimes described as the entourage effect — may modulate the overall experience, with CBD potentially tempering some of THC's sharper edges (PMC 10528039).
Then there's the yield. 800g/m² is not a typo — that's what Crackers can produce when given proper space and support. For outdoor growers in southern European climates with long growing seasons, this strain is a serious producer. The 11-week flowering time is longer than most indicas, but the weight you'll pull at harvest makes the wait worthwhile.
The honest trade-off? Size management. A 300cm plant is not subtle, and it's not forgiving of small spaces or inexperience. If you're growing indoors in a standard 2m tent, you'll need to start flowering early and use aggressive training. Outdoor growers with privacy and space will have a much easier time. This is the best sativa seed for experienced growers who want heavy yields with a balanced cannabinoid profile.
Complete your grow setup: If you're growing Crackers indoors, you'll need serious vertical space. Pair these seeds with a tall grow tent — the 240cm models give you enough headroom to work with after accounting for pots, lights, and the stretch. Outdoor growers should grab plant support stakes or netting before the flowering stretch kicks in. A good pH meter is also worth having — sativas tend to be pickier about root zone pH than indicas.
Crackers vs Other Amnesia Crosses
Crackers sits in a specific niche. Here's how it compares to other sativa-dominant seeds you might be considering.
| Feature | Crackers (Super Strains) | Typical Amnesia Haze | Typical CBD Sativa |
|---|---|---|---|
| THC | 16% | 20-22% | 5-8% |
| CBD | 5% | Under 1% | 8-15% |
| THC:CBD Ratio | Approximately 3:1 | 20:1 or higher | Approximately 1:2 |
| Height | Up to 300cm | Up to 250cm | Varies widely |
| Yield | 800g/m² | 500-650g/m² | 400-500g/m² |
| Flowering Time | 11 weeks | 10-12 weeks | 8-10 weeks |
| Flavour | Spicy, earthy, musky | Citrus, haze, sharp | Mild, herbal |
Crackers fills the gap between full-power Amnesia (where CBD is basically absent) and dedicated CBD strains (where THC is too low for recreational growers). If you want the cerebral character of an Amnesia cross but with a more rounded cannabinoid profile, this is where to look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I grow Crackers cannabis seeds indoors?
Yes, but only if you have experience and ceiling height. Crackers reaches up to 300cm, so you'll need to flip to flower early and use training techniques like LST or SCROG to control the stretch. A standard 200cm tent will be tight — 240cm gives you more room to work with.
What does Crackers taste like when smoked?
Spicy and earthy with a distinctive musky background. It's an old-school sativa flavour — no sweetness or fruit. The Amnesia genetics come through with a sharp, peppery bite, while the NL5 x Haze parent adds depth and warmth.
Why does Crackers have higher CBD than most sativas?
The NL5 x Haze hybrid parent contributes the CBD genetics. Most Amnesia crosses are bred purely for THC, but Super Strains selected for a balanced cannabinoid profile. The 5% CBD alongside 16% THC creates an approximately 3:1 ratio that's uncommon in sativa-dominant genetics.
How much will Crackers yield outdoors?
Up to 800g/m² under optimal conditions. Outdoor growers in warm climates with long summers will get the best results. The 11-week flowering period means you'll be harvesting later in the season than most strains — make sure your climate allows for that.
Do Crackers plants need structural support?
Absolutely. At 300cm, the main stem and side branches carry significant weight during flower. Install bamboo stakes, a trellis net, or plant yo-yos before the flowering stretch begins. Unsupported branches will snap under the weight of mature colas.
Is Crackers suitable for first-time growers?
We wouldn't recommend it as your first grow. The 300cm height, 11-week flowering time, and need for structural support make Crackers a strain for growers who have a few harvests under their belt. Start with something shorter and faster-flowering to build your skills first.
What is the THC to CBD ratio in Crackers?
Approximately 3:1 — 16% THC to 5% CBD. This is notably different from most recreational sativas, which typically have ratios of 20:1 or higher. The balanced profile means the two cannabinoids interact more than in a typical high-THC strain.
