Where to Find Double Stuffed Seeds — Varieties & Sources

The Double Stuffed strain has become a favorite among growers and consumers alike, which has led to multiple breeders creating their own unique versions. While all carry the “Double Stuffed” name, each has a slightly different lineage, flavor profile, and cultivation style. Here are the most recognized versions:

  • Exotic Genetix – Double Stuffed (Original)
    Exotic Genetix is credited with producing the original Double Stuffed. This version typically comes as a regular photoperiod strain rather than feminized, meaning growers may need to identify male and female plants. It leans heavily indica, with flowering times of about 56 to 63 days. Yields are medium to heavy, and the buds are dense, frosty, and potent.
  • Grandiflora Genetics – Double Stuff
    Another highly regarded breeder, Grandiflora Genetics, created a variant that is sometimes simply called “Double Stuff.” Their cross brings cookie-like flavors with earthy and gassy undertones. This version flowers in around 9.5 to 10 weeks and is offered as feminized seeds, making it more straightforward for beginner and intermediate growers.
  • DNA Genetics – Double Stuffed Sorbet
    DNA Genetics, a world-renowned breeder with multiple Cannabis Cup awards, released Double Stuffed Sorbet. This cross of Do-Si-Do and Sorbet emphasizes sweet, creamy flavors reminiscent of biscuits and cake. With a flowering period of about 8 to 9 weeks and a strong indica dominance, this variant produces high resin levels quickly, making it popular among extract makers.
  • Double Stuffed Oreos
    Some breeders have introduced a feminized hybrid called Double Stuffed Oreos. This strain balances high THC levels (often between 19–25%) with a small but meaningful amount of CBD (around 1%). Flowering typically takes 8–10 weeks, and indoor yields average about 400 grams per square meter, with outdoor plants reaching up to 550 grams each.

Purchasing Tips

  • Always check the legality of seed purchases in your region. Some seedbanks list Double Stuffed only as “souvenir seeds.”
  • If you want a guaranteed female crop, look for feminized versions such as Double Stuffed Oreos or Double Stuffed Sorbet.
  • Stick with established breeders like Exotic Genetix, Grandiflora, or DNA Genetics for reliable genetics and proven results.

Cultivation Guide & Tips

Flowering & Yields

  • Exotic Genetix Original: 56–63 days, moderate to heavy yields.
  • Grandiflora Genetics: 9.5–10 weeks, large yields indoors and outdoors.
  • DNA’s Sorbet: 8–9 weeks, very resinous and excellent for concentrates.
  • Oreos Variant: 8–10 weeks, balanced yields with solid cannabinoid output.

Across all versions, Double Stuffed is known for producing dense, trichome-covered buds that are visually appealing and highly potent.

Flavor, Aroma & Effects

  • Flavors: Creamy vanilla, cookie dough, mocha, and sometimes earthy coffee or burnt butter.
  • Aromas: Sweet and dessert-like with hints of fuel or spice depending on the breeder.
  • Effects: Euphoric, hazy cerebral uplift followed by deep body relaxation. Many users find it best suited for evening use.

Consumers often turn to Double Stuffed for stress relief, appetite stimulation, and calming effects that help with anxiety.

Growing Environment

  • Indoor Cultivation: Plants stay medium in height and respond well to training techniques like low-stress training (LST) or screen of green (SCROG). Keeping the canopy even helps maximize yields.
  • Outdoor Cultivation: Best in warm, dry climates where mold is less of a concern. Some versions, especially DNA’s Sorbet, thrive in greenhouse environments.

Double Stuffed Grower’s Calendar (Indoor Example, Feminized Seeds)

WeekStageWhat’s HappeningTips & Best Practices
Week 1GerminationSeeds sprout taproots and emerge as seedlings.Use moist paper towel or starter plugs. Keep temps ~75–80°F and humidity 70–80%. Provide gentle CFL/LED lighting.
Week 2SeedlingFirst sets of true leaves appear.Keep light intensity low to avoid burn. Maintain humidity ~65–70%. Avoid overwatering—roots are delicate.
Week 3Early VegetativePlants establish roots and grow several leaf nodes.Transplant into larger pots (1–2 gal). Begin light feeding with balanced nutrients (NPK around 2-1-2). Maintain 18–20 hrs light daily.
Week 4Vegetative GrowthPlants gain height and bush out.Increase pot size if needed. Introduce low-stress training (LST). Keep humidity ~60%. Strong airflow prevents mold.
Week 5Vegetative GrowthPlants thicken stems, more branches appear.Defoliate lightly to expose bud sites. Continue training (SCROG net optional). Feed higher nitrogen ratio.
Week 6Pre-Flower TransitionRapid growth (“stretch”) begins as plants prepare to flower.Switch to 12/12 light cycle if indoors. Begin transition nutrients (slightly lower nitrogen, more phosphorus/potassium). Humidity ~55%.
Week 7Early Flower (Week 1 Flowering)White pistils form at bud sites.Maintain 12/12 light. Support branches if stretch is excessive. Feed bloom nutrients with boosted phosphorus.
Week 8Early Flower (Week 2)Budlets form, resin glands begin developing.Monitor for pests/mildew. Keep humidity 50–55%. Avoid overfeeding to prevent nutrient burn.
Week 9Mid Flower (Week 3)Buds swell, terpene production begins.Strong aroma appears. Increase potassium for bud density. Use carbon filter indoors.
Week 10Mid Flower (Week 4)Resin builds up heavily.Defoliate lower leaves lightly to improve airflow. Keep humidity 45–50%. Plants should be in 5–7 gal pots.
Week 11Mid Flower (Week 5)Pistils darken slightly, trichomes become visible.Watch pH (soil ~6.3–6.8, hydro ~5.8–6.2). Maintain bloom nutrients.
Week 12Mid-Late Flower (Week 6)Buds become dense and sticky.Flush if needed to remove excess salts. Keep humidity 40–45%. Avoid excessive handling of buds.
Week 13Late Flower (Week 7)THC production peaks, trichomes turn milky.Begin flushing with pure water (no nutrients) for cleaner taste. Monitor trichome color closely.
Week 14Harvest Window (Week 8–9 Flower)Buds are fully mature. Trichomes are cloudy with some amber.Harvest when ~70% trichomes are cloudy, 10–20% amber. Lower fan leaves may yellow naturally.
Week 15Drying & CuringBuds hang dry for 7–10 days, then cure in jars.Keep temps 60–65°F, humidity 55–60% during drying. Cure in sealed glass jars, burping daily for 2–3 weeks for best flavor.
