Top Tao Seeds: Outdoor Strains with Deep Roots
Top Tao Seeds has been around since 2012, starting out in the Czech Republic. Back then, cannabis was underground, so their work grew out of that scene. Over the years they kept refining their genetics, and a lot of their material came from faraway places. Some arrived with sailors through ports like Amsterdam or Hamburg, and others were carried back by students from Africa and beyond.

Top Tao Seeds at Cannapot
If you have been looking for seeds that actually feel reliable and not overhyped, Top Tao Seeds might be worth paying attention to. They come from the Czech Republic, and the breeder has been around since 2012. Back then things were still little bit underground, so the genetics they worked with had to be tough enough to survive outside without all the modern extras. What makes Top Tao Seeds a little different is that they only do regular seeds. No feminized but maby that will change in future. Some people like that, some people prefer the easy route. Regular seeds feel closer to how the plant is supposed to be. You will need to sort males and females, but that is part of the process if you want natural genetics.
Why people pick Top Tao
The first thing is experience. They have been around for years, and a lot of the genetics have gone through plenty of different climates. Nights that drop cold, wetter seasons, you name it. Most strains from them can handle that. They are especially good if you grow outdoors in Europe or places with similar weather. Another thing is the simplicity. They never tried to turn everything into feminized-only packs. Instead, they stuck with regular and some semi-auto types. If you like the idea of breeding or just having natural variety, that works in your favor.
What Cannapot has right now
If you go through the Top Tao Seeds section at Cannapot, you will see a range of strains that are not too overwhelming but still give options. Here are the main ones.
Auto Mix: The Auto Mix is exactly what it sounds like. A handful of different autos in one pack. You get strains like Taomatic, Demon Auto Tao, and Micron Auto Tao mixed together. It is a good choice if you are new and want to try a few without buying them all separately. You plant a few, see which one speaks to you, and maybe save notes for later seasons. That is one way to look at it.
Auto Tao Blueberry: This one has a fruity side. Auto Tao Blueberry is made from a Blueberry cross with Ruderalis, so you get the sweet berry smell but in an automatic format. People usually notice the aroma first. Even before harvest the scent is there. The plants are not huge either, which helps if your space is limited. Some growers like them for balconies or tucked away spots.
Big Auto Tao: As the name suggests, Big Auto Tao tends to grow larger than the other autos. It comes from crossing Super Auto Tao with Taomatic. The plants stay pretty uniform, and they usually produce a lot. The aroma leans fruity, similar to some of the other Top Tao lines. Outdoor growers often mention that this strain handles stress well. So if your season throws some odd weather at you, it still finishes nicely.
Dr Tao Sativa: This one is more of a tribute. Dr Tao Sativa was named for Dr. Lester Grinspoon, who was known for his work on cannabis. The strain itself has higher CBD levels than most of the others from this breeder. It is not the fastest grower since it is a sativa type, but it pays off with a different cannabinoid profile. If you are someone who is interested in more balanced effects and not only THC, this might be worth trying.
Golden Cannary: This strain is a bit different. It is semi-autoflowering, so it sits in between a full auto and a regular plant. That makes it handy for outdoor growers who want something that does not require as much attention but is still not fully automatic. The aroma is also unique. Hard to describe, but it does not smell quite like the others. Some people like it for guerrilla growing or greenhouse setups where the plant can basically take care of itself.
Growing notes for Top Tao Seeds
A few things apply across the board if you are thinking about these seeds.
- They are bred outdoors, so do not be surprised if they handle bad weather better than some modern hybrids.
- These are regular seeds, so you will need to spot males and remove them if you want only flowers. That takes a bit of attention, but it also means you can breed if you want.
- They do well in natural soil mixes. Something organic with decent drainage usually works.
- If you pick the sativa type, like Dr Tao Sativa, you will need more time and patience compared to the autos.
