Which hemp clones suit your climate?

Germany's climate is diverse — and not every strain thrives equally everywhere. Our climate zone finder maps every strain in the LeafConnect catalogue to one of five regions, so you get exactly the clones that match your weather, your season and your location.

Which hemp clones suit your climate?

Hemp clones are sensitive to temperature, humidity, sunshine hours and the length of the growing season. A strain that flowers beautifully in the warm Rhine valley can stall on the windy North Sea coast — and the other way around. Outdoor growers on the Baltic need fast-flowering, mould-resistant clones, while Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg can ripen demanding sativa-dominant genetics thanks to long sunshine hours. So you don't have to guess, our system classifies every strain by suitability for the five main climate regions of Germany. Pick your region — we show the strains with the highest success rate.

3. Order the right clones

We show the strains best suited to your region — sorted by score, in stock only.

The five climate regions of Germany

Northern Germany

View region

Maritime, cool and wet — short summers and mild winters define Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Bremen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and northern Niedersachsen. Fast-flowering, mould-resistant strains do best.

Eastern Germany

View region

Continental — dry summers and cold winters. Berlin, Brandenburg and Sachsen-Anhalt enjoy high summer sunshine but low rainfall — robust, drought-tolerant clones yield best.

Central Germany

View region

Mixed Atlantic-continental climate — moderate in rainfall, temperature and sunshine. NRW, Hessen, Thüringen and Sachsen are ideal for balanced hybrids.

South-Western Germany

View region

The warmest region of Germany. Rheinland-Pfalz, Saarland and Baden-Württemberg combine long sunny days with mild nights — perfect for demanding sativas and high-yield hybrids.

South-Eastern Germany (Bavaria)

View region

Bavarian sunshine plus alpine influence. Long lowland seasons, cooler highlands — versatile strains with good altitude tolerance dominate the recommendations.

Frequently asked questions about the climate finder

How does LeafConnect choose the right strains per region?

Every strain gets a climate-fit score based on flowering time, mould resistance, temperature tolerance and sunshine needs. We assign a 0-100 fit score for each of the five regions. The region page shows highest-scoring strains first.

Is my location detected?

If you connect from Germany, we detect your federal state automatically and redirect you to the matching region page. You can switch regions any time via the map.

What if I grow indoors?

Indoor growing is climate-independent. Each region page has a section at the bottom with indoor-friendly clones — those appear regardless of your region.

How fresh is the weather forecast?

The weather on region pages is loaded live from Open-Meteo and refreshed every 30 minutes. You see the current temperature plus a three-day forecast.

Are sold-out strains shown?

No. We automatically filter sold-out clones out of recommendations, so you only see what we can actually ship.
