While eating raw cannabis isn't a smart decision, sometimes we wish we could taste that aromatic, freshly flowered bud. Its intense aromas invade us and fill us with pleasure without the need to smoke it, and no matter how well-cured it is, its smell will never be the same as the one it released on the day of harvest.

This scenario surely tormented the guys who created live resin. As a result, we now have a product that tastes and smells like a just-harvested flower. They surely had to select the best live resin strains to create this extract.

In this article, we want to discuss them and why they are ideal for cannabis extracts. At Botany Farms, we've got you covered for premium live resin products.

Key Takeaways

  • The best strains for live resin have enhanced genetics, making them more pungent and powerful.
  • Top strains for live resin extraction include Sour Diesel, Chemdawg, Sunset Sherbet, Northern Lights, Gorilla Glue and Pineapple Express.
  • Botany Farms offers a variety of live resin products, including tinctures and vape cartridges, featuring strains like Sour Space Candy, Delta 8, and CBD options, aiming to provide users with calm and balance without the need to smoke.

Best Strains for Live Resin

Before we dive deep into the best strains for live resin, let’s talk about what makes a bud ideal for extraction, especially when it aims to collect a high terpene and flavonoid profile.

All cannabis buds contain these compounds. However, some have enhanced genetics, making them more pungent and powerful than others. This is one of the key factors in creating live resin products, like carts, as the main objective of the live resin extraction process is to protect and preserve the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that exist in the plant.

For that reason, manufacturers often look for gleaming strains coated in a thick resin layer to extract as many compounds as possible. Not all the strains make the cut, and only a few are ideal for creating live resin.

Live Resin Sativa

If you miss the sunlight caressing your skin and filling your heart with energy, you probably need some live resin sauce made with sativas. The strains below aren’t only famous for their amazing high and iconic aromas that have given birth to pungent and vivacious buds.

Sour Diesel

With a whopping 26% THC average content and smash-in-the-face effects, the Sour Diesel strain is a legend in the cannabis world. Its terpene content is rich in the holy trinity—limonene, myrcene, and caryophyllene—so it isn’t surprising that Sour Diesel makes for one of the best live resin strains in the world.

Chemdawg

Another fan favorite, the Chemdawg strain boasts a delightful 22% THC and a diverse terpene content, including caryophyllene, linalool, humulene, and pinene. These bright combinations create an earthy and sweet flavor that relaxes your senses.

Live Resin Indica

Turn up the music, cuddle between the sheets, and smoke your problems away with the soothing and pleasant indica strains. These soft buds caress your senses to alleviate stress and fatigue, helping you drift to dreamland with a single puff.

Sunset Sherbet

The Sunset Sherbet strain is dripping with honey and peach flavors, making it an ideal live resin strain. Its limonene, caryophyllene, and fenchol terpenes create a blend that matches its 19% THC content for a pleasant, clean smoke that keeps you warm on a cold night.

Northern Lights

With a classic combination of myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene, the Northern Lights strain remains one of the most iconic indica buds in the market. Its resinous appearance makes for a delicious live resin extraction that combines spicy and sweet flavors with a striking 16% THC content.

Yoda OG

The piney and earthy flavors of Yoda OG are just as grounding as this wise Jedi. This Star Wars strain is ideal for live resin production, as its 19% THC content is just enough for those who seek peaceful relaxation and comfy highs.

Grape Ape

Grape Ape is a potent indica that will fill your lungs with a soothing, mellow high. Experience a feeling of calm and relaxation accompanied by delicious grape flavors, hash notes, and a wonderful 16.5% THC and 13.17% THCA content.

Fire OG

Also known as Fire Kush, this strain has a remarkable lemon zest smell and diesel hints, with a fiery appearance that makes it irresistible. The combination of pinene, humulene, and caryophyllene is immaculate in this flower, turning it into a great live resin strain.

Blueberry Pie

Testing at 20% THC, the Blueberry Pie is all you expect from such a luscious name. Its combination of myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene creates a flavor similar to a freshly baked pie. That’s why this live resin strain creates such delicious smoke when used in a vape pen.

Do-Si-Dos

The final indica strain for live resin we will share is another classic with nutty and sweet aromas. Thanks to its dynamic terpene profile and potent nature, the Do-Si-Dos strain is a smoker's favorite. Testing close to 30% THC, this flower is not for the weak.

Live Resin Hybrid

When you want to stay grounded but still be able to daydream, there’s nothing better than a sweet hybrid today focused. Take our Live Resin Delta-8 THC cart as an example: the sweet aroma of Sour Space Candy is the secret ingredient to an effective smoke that delivers clarity and fun.

Gorilla Glue

If you've been paying attention, you may have noticed that most strains we've featured here, like Gorilla Glue, are incredibly popular.

This is no surprise. All cannasseurs know that an iconic strain shouldn't be high in THC but instead perfectly blend the complex nature of cannabis.

The breeders were well aware of this when creating Gorilla Glue. The dominant terpenes, caryophyllene, limonene, and humulene, came together to deliver delicious flavors of diesel, chocolate, and pine. A delicious 20% THC rounds off all this for an incomparable high.

Pineapple Express

The last live resin strain on our list is the lively Pineapple Express. This tropical bud takes you to the bright shores of a vivacious island where 17% THC levels and the fruity flavors of myrcene dance together to create a calm, focused, and creative energy.

Considering the high standards that flowers must meet to create an unparalleled live resin product, we know it can be difficult to find one worthy. Fortunately for you, we at Botany Farms have patiently cultivated our knowledge to bring you wonderful live resin, such as our tinctures that include Delta 8 or CBD. These combinations will give you the calm and balance you need to avoid smoke but still join the hype.
