8 New Marijuana Strains to Grow in 2021 | PotGuide.com

In many adult and medical legal cannabis states, consumers are allowed to grow their own cannabis in accordance with state law. And while this varies from state-to-state, there are many benefits to growing your own, including affordability over the long run, and allow you to control quality and supply, especially important for medical cannabis patients. As legalization becomes more widespread, cannabis breeders have become more innovative and creative than ever, churning out hot new strains year after year. While consumers are always looking for something new to try, green thumbs are up for the challenge of growing something new.

Here are some new marijuana strains to try growing in 2021.

Tropicanna Banana
