Early Bird Strain Overview
Early Bird is a cannabis strain that exists in multiple variations from different breeders, creating some confusion in the market. The most documented version comes from Super Sativa Seed Club, where it is known as an indica/sativa hybrid also called M26. This strain was developed as an early Dutch cold-resistant variety, selectively bred for three generations with breeding plants chosen specifically for early maturation and quality of effects. The strain was designed to be suitable for outdoor cultivation in colder climates with shorter growing seasons. Another variation is the indica-dominant hybrid (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing Bird X Early Bubba Kush strains, which produces different effects and characteristics. Early Bird strains are generally characterized by their ability to flower early and finish quickly, making them popular among growers in northern latitudes or those seeking faster harvests. The buds typically display dense, grape-shaped minty green nugs with thin orange hairs and amber-tinted crystal trichomes, giving them an attractive frosty appearance that indicates high resin production.
