BOG Seeds The Story of BOG Back in about 1970 we were 16 and trying to grow bag seed outside with little success but we did have some plants and we did smoke some immature weed. I was married at 18 and by age 19 I had my own farm where I grew outdoors. I became successful to a point but genetics were not easily available and I had to do the best I had with what I had. You never really knew what you had but you thought it tasted like what might have been called this or that. It wasn’t at all scientific but I read High Times and I learned about sense early on so my plants were good pot if they would finish and I developed my own strains. Another friend of mine also had a fine strain we called Blanchard Weed and it rivaled my best now in heavy resins. I had created my own feminized line I called "RED" and it yielded more than his and tasted great but it wasn’t as potent. Eventually I mixed his with mine and grew this cross, mine more Sativaish and his was Indica. Eventually the strain became hermaphroditic due to many generations of inbreeding. I was online in early '99 and this is when I got access to Seedsdirect and Gypsy. He sent me many genetics and many growers at OG sent me seeds to work with. Getting lucky with a few good strains I made f2 seeds and selected clones. Years of selection led to a very fine bubblegum called Bogbubble and that was crossed later to a NL5 to make Bogglegum. When Lifesaver came out people saw that I was 3 for 3 and they couldn't understand how a small grower did it? Gypsy still calls me the "Enigma" which means mystery and I prefer to maintain some of the mystery as part of my BOG myth. You know about me living in a cave and great granddaddy being an alien. I am not a myth however and those who have judged me by the fruits of my labors no longer question how I do my work. Now Sour Bubble is going to stun the breeding world. Just mark my words.

DNA Genetics No Info at this time DJ Shorts Seeds DJ Short on the Blue Family, "The "Blue Family" of the herbal community originated from crosses of four varieties: Highland Thai, Chocolate Thai, Highland Oaxaca Gold, and Afghan Indica. All were pure P-1 contributing ancestors. Both Thai varieties and the Oaxaca were pure, land-race Sativa's. The seeds were gleaned from the connoisseur's choice herb of the late 1970s/early 1980s directly from their region of origin. The Indica line came one generation removed from its region of origin in the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan via the growing community and network in Northern California and Southern Oregon. The Highland Thai, also known as "Juicy Fruit Thai," produced a maze of many branches in a full, bushy tangle that was quite asymmetric, developing no easily identifiable main stem at maturity. The Oaxaca Gold was crossed with the Chocolate Thai to produce a plant that became known as "Purple Thai." The Purple Thai had symmetric branching patterns and grew tall with support. Both the Highland Thai and the Purple Thai were late bloomers, with finishing times that ranged between 10-16 weeks indoors or as late as mid-November outside, and sported at least minimal hermaphrodites. They each also produced champion herb that had little or no "ceiling" to them; that is, the more one consumed, the higher the experience. The Purple and Highland Thai became the two female contributors to the Blue Family Females were selected for overall quality of the finished product, including bouquet, flavor and buzz, as well as the lowest incidence of hermaphroditism. The Afghani Indica supplied the male P-1 pollen source. Selection among the Afghani plants was based on stout full structure and strong, musky, "skunkish" odor. The resulting cross grew very uniformly to a medium height producing long, spear-shaped buds. I referred to this fI simply as "the Cross." When two of these "Cross" plants were bred together, the resulting f2 "Double-Cross" produced an extreme variation in phenotypic expression. It was from these varied Double Cross f2s that the Blue Family members were chosen and stabilized through several generations of selective breeding. Not really his briefing history but it is his history of breeding the "Blues" Dr. Atomic The Dr. made his public debut with Kind Seed over 6 years ago.

This is a process of breeding, crossing, creating, improving and testing lots of strains. Now our company has switched to producing female only seeds. With this, it has become our goal to create female seeds that grow into top quality clones. Right now our seeds are not quite clone-like yet, but in the mean time we can offer you female seeds that grow for 99.9% into top quality female plants. For each strain we state a stability rate, the higher the rate, the closer to clones, the lower the rate, the more the plants will vary. Our seeds give for 99.9% rise to female plants. Flying Dutchmen, The One of the few people in the world with a Cannabis history of more than 30 years decided to share his experience and knowledge about breeding the highest quality Cannabis seed varieties. Thousands and thousands of people must have grown his seeds without knowing they were his, as a wholesaler he provided many seed retailers with his seeds. Now he has given a new dimension to his life of working with Cannabis by opening the Cannabis College Foundation Amsterdam and his first Flying Dutchmen Seed shop. During the sixties in Holland, all that was available was hashish, and low grade imported grass. During the early seventies, a small number of Dutch enthusiasts started to grow two Dutch strains, known as ‘The Purple’ and ‘The Green Lemon’ types. These were very large plants with small buds and a very average taste and high. In fact during the Second World War this grass was used as a substitute for tobacco. Eventually a few seeds made it over from Afghanistan so the Dutch started to work with this new variety. Suddenly this weird character showed up on the scene from America trying to introduce the Dutch enthusiasts to some new varieties of seeds. He brought over pure true breeding strains like Early California, Thai, Mexican and Silver Haze from Columbia, Afghan and South African seeds. Most importantly he brought over a few crosses that he had already made himself, including the very first Skunk Number One which is a Columbian, Mexican, Afghan cross. This earned him his present nickname THE SKUNK MAN. Eddy who worked directly with The Skunk Man was one of the three major players of that time with an interest in superior plants. The base genetics for almost all the grass that you see in Holland today originates from these three guys work. They were all a little skeptical of The Skunk Man’s bigger and better American ways but Eddy decided to grow out his seeds in greenhouses, using crude methods to simulate day and night cycles and gauge the results for themselves. In 1984 the first crop was grown out and the results were outstanding, higher yield and better quality, Eddy never looked back. In order to find ideal genetics (both the male and female) plants were being grown out of seeds, tens of thousands at a time in a green house and the top 50 were selected, then crossed again and grown out thousands at a time, always trying to isolate the best. Once you have found the best breeding stock by allowing all plants to fully mature (flower). How do you hold that plant back for future breeding genetics? There were talks that in America a couple of people had experimented with the concept of cloning. Eddy chose some mature female flower cuttings and left them under florescent lights in someone’s attic in the hope that they just might take. After 18 weeks only 20% survived, but it was not until a further 6 months had passed that one of the plants ‘sprouted one little leaf’ probably the first successful cloning of flowered cannabis ever. The moment that little leaf shoot appeared cannabis history changed forever

GN Collection Gypsy Nirvana started his own brand in 2003 and it has been highly successful. Good House Seeds Good house was awarded at the Basque Txapelteka contest, and since 1999 has been steadily improving their award-winning calibre genetics. Great annaC, The Well here it is, my debut, my coming out, whatever you want to call it, I finally had to come out of hiding. After years of being a recluse my final decision to become an activist in the Medicinal Cannabis community has mainly stemmed from my own sickness. I will tell you of my sickness not because I am looking for sympathy or pity but because I honestly feel in my heart that Cannabis has been greatly miss-portrayed to the public masses worldwide and it is time to bring about change. Not only a change in the politicians but a change in overall compassion that is in the hearts and souls of All human kind. Who is hurting whom here? What is so wrong with using Cannabis as pain management? Why can't our Governments' get it together and realize that it was put here for a reason. To Help & To Heal. I have Acute Leukemia and have been battling it for 2 years now. I have been in and out of remission more times than carter has liver pills. I have had 21 surgical procedures & 13 Tumor removals from my spinal cord alone since 2001. Along with the Acute Leukemia I picked up a bonus case of staff infection from all the surgeries that have incurred. Along with the Scars from the surgeries came Rheumatoid Arthritis on my spinal cord and a diagnosis of Mar fans' Syndrome and Hepatitis C and partially detached retinas. I think that pretty much qualifies me to be involved with my own pain management. I have been given every prescription know to man and nothing works as good as Cannabis (for me anyway) You can keep the Diluted you can keep the Demerol and Mepergan, you can keep the Oxycotin I don't need them I have all those medications and they are collecting dust in my medicine cabinet. All 6 of my doctors know I am a medical cannabis user and are aware that I use it for pain management. None object!!! Not one, yet if they succumb to our needs then they will loose their license. It's simply not right Great White North A very good selection of first to mid Sept finishing and hardy outdoor strains. They are proven winners and have been grown outdoor in Manitoba for many years. Greenhouse Seeds Greenhouse is one of the first seed companies to grow marijuana commercially from Holland. In 1986 they began their pedigree-breeding program to develop new seed strains. Greenhouse Seeds aim was to develop stronger different flavored strains to what the market currently offered providing the consumer with a greater variety. Greenhouse Seed Company thought that developing stronger seed strains would also prevent cannabis users from seeking harder drugs by providing a genuine strong cannabis alternative to hard drugs. The Greenhouse Seed Company breeding program to develop the new strains used new growing methods including using new substrates, climatic controls and new nutrient formulas served to the plants using new methods. The breeding program was a success. The first Green House, coffee shop, Tolstraat, opened soon after and popularity of the seed strains grew as more people sampled the new strains on offer at the shop. Master Kush and Cytral were a big success and Greenhouse was proud to have them represented at the 1st High Times Cannabis Cup. A second Green House coffee shop, Waterlooplein, opened in 1995. The artistic looking shop won the Cannabis Cup for the best looking coffee shop that year. As the Greenhouse Seed Company continued to grow they looked for a partner and a collaboration with a former Sensi Seed breeder led to a third Green House shop in 1997. "Be afraid, be very afraid, the Great White Shark is on the lookout for those seeking THC overload!" Great White Shark is one of the many super potent varieties that Green House produced. They won the Cannabis Cup this year with their excellent Super Silver Haze, which took the competition (and the judges!) apart. They've also got their own crystal beauty, White Widow, which produces buds oozing with rich, sticky resin and a THC level best kept secret. High Quality Standards Since 1997 these popular Dutch Seeds are well known for their excellent quality and have been cultivated for medical use. Amongst them are several Cup-winners. New is the range of Black Label Seeds, Superior Quality and Low Pricing! Homegrown Fantaseeds Homegrown is a sister company to the very successful Amsterdam Coffee shop, Homegrown Fantasy. The Fantaseeds Seed Company broke onto the scene in a big way, winning the 1997 Cannabis Cup for overall seed bank quality. Low prices and massively good weed make this collection one of the most popular in recent years. Hygro Seeds No Info at this time. Joey Weed No Info at this time. Joint Doctor Seeds Newly released to the world, this unique variety will dramatically expand the range of possibilities for aspiring, amateur and professional Cannabis growers and breeders. Aptly named for its low profile (both literally and figuratively), Lowryder was developed for extreme rapid growth (8-9 weeks from seed to bud! Jordan of the Islands Based in beautiful B.C., for over a decade Jordan has been working with close to fifty strains, mostly indoor varieties and some outdoor strains. Specializing in the fruitiest, sweetest strains he originally started with: Skunk Number One, Hindu Kush, California Orange and Early Girl. After years of crossing and hybridizing you'll be pleasantly amazed at the quality, flavor and yields. Juan Moore Seeds No Info at this time. KC Brains KC Brains, based in Holland, has been breeding since 1979. Selections of seeds are marked at unbeatable prices. All varieties will work indoor or outdoor, with special attention given to make sure of a substantial harvest under natural light KC won the coveted Weed Cup in 2001 with his Haze Special. Koala Seeds Koala Seeds has been a long-term project of an Australian grower and breeder, who we call the Koala. ** The Koala wanted to make his lines of specialist cannabis, available to the most people possible. He especially wanted his medical strain, The Barrier Reef, to be available for a very long time, and he wanted it to be of the best possible quality, time and time again. So, a few years ago now, he teamed up with one Europe's largest specialists in the area of cannabis seeds production. Work progressed and expectations were not only met, but also exceeded. The Koala Seeds Ltd. seed lines could now be made commercially available with the optimum levels of quality observed at every level of the production process. Koreans Mountain Seeds Kooteney region of British Columbia has long been known for great pot and these varieties are a nice mix of new and old world strains Kush Collection No Info at this time Krystal Seed Co. The evolution of seed production is apparent in these selections. Bred to produce 99.9% female "seed clones." These strains have proven themselves winners a thousand times over with discerning cultivators. Very well suited for indoor organic cultivation. Legends Own Seeds Legends is proud to introduce the first of many new strains produced in collaboration with Breeder Steve of Spice of Life Seeds.

Magus Genetics Not everybody succeeds in finding his destination at first go. Many people pass through several jobs before finally discovering – often by chance – that special thing that they like the most and want to do forever. This often applies to people who are active in the field of hemp business; here lateral hires are more rule than exception. There is no special “hemp apprenticeship” that would directly pave the way into the branch, so many people have a different approach, making use of something that they’ve learnt in their former jobs or by self-made education. Gerrit exactly is that kind of “patchwork guy”. The list of jobs he went through before falling for hemp is long and manifold. Gerrit reports: “I had a shipload of different jobs, varying from working in the flower bulb industry, to being an electrician, maintenance engineer, industrial paint sprayer, grease monkey (car repair moonlighter), steel caster, and bartender/porter, just to name a few.” But he openly admits that he “did not like working for a boss”, “I'm not very good with authorities”, as he puts it. Discovering the drug cannabis should not only lead to the end of his job odyssey, but also serve as an act of deliverance to him: Gerrit managed to turn away from alcohol. While not having been a typical alcoholic, he used to drink a lot quite often, afterwards turning aggressive and erratic. At the early age of eleven already, Gerrit had smoked cannabis for the first time, but not noticed anything else than nausea. It wasn’t until he became 17 or 18 that he tried it again, however, always in the state of drunkenness so that cannabis would have a sedative, sleepy effect on him every time. Sometimes later, when he had decided to stop boozing, he sensed that “cannabis could do a lot more than just putting me asleep”. Amongst other things, helping him to become laidback and peaceable, ceasing his “jumpy neurotic behavior”, but most important of it all: It supported him in keeping his hands away from alcohol. Hence it’s no surprise that Gerrit says: “Cannabis has enriched my life”. And that not only mentally. Because with his small, but fine seed collection, Gerrit has been very successful for years already, in addition, he opened a hemp shop in Enkhuizen/NL in July 2002 („Magus Genetics Hemp Store“), which also gains much resonance. But one thing after another. Because the way in which Gerrit attained his seed strains, and how he happened to open a seed bank, is very uncommon. At the beginning of the 90ies, he started home growing, choosing an outdoor location. He used Afghani and Skunk bag seeds that he had selected out of coffee shop weed in 1989. Because he was not familiar with female and male cannabis flowers, he did not realize that the Afghani plants were male and pollinated a female skunk, resulting in a lot of F1 seeds. In the following winter, Gerrit also practiced indoor cultivation, mainly making use of clones that he had bought from a friend. But he also took some seedlings and clones of his own material, both his self-F1 hybrid Skunk/Afghani and once again the supposedly pure, but commercial Skunk bag seeds. He noticed that his own F1 hybrids of Skunk/Afghani clearly were more vigorous than the pure Skunk plants, but could not match them in terms of smell and taste. Because his Skunk seed supply was exhausted, Gerrit decided to hybridize his last female Skunk specimens (he had taken several cuttings of the best plant), with the pollen of some male Skunk/Afghani F1s. The resulting generation proved to be very vigorous and even superior to the Skunk mother in terms of aroma and potency, but did not yield as much as the bought cuttings so that Gerrit kept buying them and only grew a few of his own pedigree in the shaded corners of the room. Until spring 2003, he left it with that, but then suddenly his friend got into troubles and Gerrit was forced to fill out the whole cultivation space with his own hybrids. Thanks to this accident, he realized that the reason why his own hybrids had always yielded lower than the bought cuttings simply was that they had to stand in the shade, far away from the light source. From now on, they received optimum light intensities, what made them yield very well, too, and Gerrit made up his mind to exclusively grow his own genetic material in the future, instead of “being dependent on other people”. But he also had another incentive to grow his own: Meanwhile he had gotten into contact with the “Bluebird”, one of Amsterdam’s most popular coffee shops, and the Bluebird guys sold Gerrit`s own creation under the name “Warlock”, enthusing a steadily increasing circle of customers that cried for more. And they should get more – Gerrit managed to further improve his hybrid’s yield, by optimizing the growing factors. He did not continue the breeding process and kept on reproducing one single superb mother plant by taking cutting from cutting over years. However, in 1997 he got worried about the germination power of his original hybrid seeds, which were several years old now. He also was afraid that in case of being busted or stolen, his mother plants would disappear forever. So Gerrit decided to make a cut in production and put the whole matter on a more professional basis. He also felt inspired by the fact that the Bluebird had taken 3rd place in the bio category of the High Times Cannabis Cup 1997 with his “Warlock”. He sowed all original seeds that were left, still obtaining a good germination rate. Simultaneously he started reading a lot of botanical and breeding literature, what made him realize that he would need far more growing space in order to get the best out of the genetic potential of his hybrid. So he hired a larger grow room, at the same time letting his seed operation be regularly registered at the local chamber of commerce from January 1998. Between 1997 and 1998, Gerrit worked with 50 different breeding lines that he had created out of 25 female individuals and 2 different males. He made sure to have numerous safety copies of the respective parents and selected the best line for creating Warlock as commercially available seed strain for the first time, introducing it to the market at the High Times Cannabis Cup 1998 with great response. Warlock – this strain proved to be a true lucky punch. It is especially remarkable that a breeder has created something outstanding and unique out of completely regular and commercial strains like Afghani and Skunk. In the following years, Gerrit experimented within the original gene pool what resulted in a new father plant for Warlock. This specimen was also used to create new varieties like Exile (x White Widow/Northern Lights), Starwarz (x Sensi Star), and Double Dutch (x pre-2000 Chronic), while Starwarz is only available as weed at the “Bluebird”, not as seed strain. Gerrit himself prefers Warlock, when it comes to the quality of the high, but recommends the Double Dutch for optimum yields. He says that the 1999 ban on seed production in Holland actually was irrelevant to him, because he used to work in the underground likewise before and after that. He had already decided to move to a slightly smaller grow room at the end of 1998, since the rent had proved to too high for him, as he had not yet started the professional sale of seeds. But also now, he has an adequate facility for ensuring both further development and maintenance of his strains. Double Dutch also became most popular within short, and Gerrit`s latest hit, the outdoor strain “Biddy Early” (Early Pearl/Skunk x Warlock, “but there is way too much Early Pearl influence to call it an outdoor Warlock”, as Gerrit says), surprised everybody at the High Times Cup 2003 by taking second place in the sativa category, beating numerous indoor strains! Gerrit is also working on other breeding projects, such as Sensi Star x Warlock, and an exotic sativa strain called “Zamal”. He believes that the seed market will keep on increasing in the future, but also, that the price dumping, as practiced by certain competitors, will get even worse. Gerrit for his part wants to keep his reasonable prices (50-70 Euros for 10 seeds are a fair offer). He grows his plants on a regular peat-moss/perlite medium, pH 5.8 and EC 0.8 in the beginning. For plants that reach a height of up to 60 cm in the course of their life cycle, he uses 7.5-liter pots, which is sufficient for most of his experimental plants. Night and day temperatures usually amount to 15 resp. 25°C, at an air humidity of approx. 70% during vegetative growth, and about 50% in the flowering stage. For producing seeds for sale, Gerrit uses two male/female plant pairs (identical copies) at different locations, out of safety reasons. In the summer of 2002, he opened his “Magus Genetics Hemp Store“ in Enkhuizen, offering almost every available hemp product to his customers. Gerrit had the special goal to create an appealing shop ambience, because he “wanted to break up all that common associations concerning hemp like illegality and ominous ness, and to appeal also to non-cannabis smokers, with a nice looking and inviting shop”. And he succeeded in this goal, according to Gerrit, many people come to his shop who are curious about the manifold ways of hemp application and respective products, like textiles, cosmetics, healthy foods or hemp paper. The drug aspects are also frequently discussed thereby, and Gerrit feels happy then about being in a position to give competent advice and education. It was especially important to Gerrit to expand his business in terms of communication and customer contact. But his wife Corinna, his right hand in the company, of course plays the most important role in his life: “She’s the only thing in life that has a greater influence on me than cannabis”, he reveals – what a nice end to this story. Mandala Seeds In order to offer friends of marijuana all around the globe a secure source for handpicked cannabis seeds, our varieties fulfill strict criteria with regards to the quality of their development during the growth and flowering stages. To achieve this we use the benefits of so called “hybridizations”. This means that two, preferably very distinct, cannabis strains are crossed with each other to produce a new, unique variety. This new genetic combination produces particularly powerful, high quality plants in the first generation - also known as the F1 generation. MDanzig Seeds With 15 years of growing experience, I decided to start breeding exclusively with auto-flowering plants. After reading an article in "Heads" magazine, I was very intrigued with this new small wonder plant aptly named "Lowryder" (bred by The Joint Doctor). After growing Lowryder for several generations, I realized that creating a bigger auto-flowering Hybrid that could easily be grown indoors, or outdoors could be very useful. Obviously auto-flowering plants are not for everyone, however I definitely feel that it has a place in the MJ community. So I’ve been crossing, backcrossing, and inbreeding to try and obtain a more bulldog type Lowryder Hybrid, and by selecting the first to show sex, best looking, and most vigorous plants, I hope to achieve this goal. To date I have done over 20 crosses with Lowryder, and I’m currently working on two Hybrids that will soon be 100% in their properties. In my experience thus far, first generation Lowryder crosses will give at least 25% auto-flowering within the first four weeks. I have had as much as 50%. Here are a couple of the best crosses I have to offer. Med Canadian Seed Co.

At that time Nirvana's founder was working at Amsterdam's most famous grow-shop, the legendary "Positronics", and it was the knowledge and inspiration that he received there that moved him to think about starting his own cannabis seeds company. Years were spent traveling, seeking out and collecting marijuana seeds from the finest strains. And more years went in experimentation, growing, cross breeding and developing the new cannabis strains from among which Nirvana selected the best to become their range of high quality hybrid marijuana seeds. After applying and expanding his experience in a number of Amsterdam's best known grow-shops it came time to offer the expertise he had gained, and the high quality products he had developed, to the world. The result of this initiative was the foundation of Nirvana in 1995. Originally a cannabis seed specialist, Nirvana is now an innovative business concept. It has developed into a shop with a unique and original range of self-developed hemp products that extend the uses of this extraordinary plant further than ever before. While constantly improving and extending its range of high quality cannabis seeds, Nirvana has also developed a range of hemp products that are unique. As the new millennium starts, alongside Nirvana's own Home-brew Hemp Wine and Hemp Beer, there is a choice of original products such as Hemp Vinegar, Hemp Ice Tea and Eva's Paradijs, Hemp Liqueur. In the heart of the picturesque Pijp, the Nirvana B.V. Headquarter lives up to its name; adding color and serenity to the surrounding streets. Inside, among the holy images and smart shop products, the vibe is mellow and the staff are always pleased to offer advice, suggestions or just hang out. Please feel free to pay us a visit. We will always make you feel welcome

No Mercy No Mercy Supply is a dynamic company, concentrated on the Cannabis market. This company is the living dream of a freak, Cees, who has over 32 years of growing experience. He wants to share his experience with every grower. Many people have already understood that female seed in the future will play an important role in the Cannabis scene. Don't stay behind and inform yourself. No Mercy 99% Female Seeds are an exclusive collection of potent strains. Paradise Seeds Paradise Seeds - How it all began… After 12 years of growing, testing and experimenting with many different varieties, Paradise Seeds was founded in 1994. About 17 years ago in Amsterdam, many coffee shops started to sell imported hash from India Afghanistan or Morocco and weed from Thailand, Columbia, Mexico or Malawi. Most of this was of poor quality. But things were changing; new types were introduced from the U.S that were early crossbreeds of already higher quality. Since then we got involved in the early research for better quality strains. This took place in Amsterdam and at several outdoor locations in Holland. Our aim was to create better weed, with a sweet/spicy taste and stronger high, for our own use. This resulted in several new varieties and the seeds were given to a number of people to grow. Due to early pioneers such as ourselves, Dutch cannabis became the best in the world and growing got evermore popular. Also many foreign people realized Dutch cannabis was of the highest quality. They took seeds home, to grow for personal use. At that time our seeds found their way to the people at a local coffee shop in Amsterdam. The demand increased and what started as research and experiments for personal knowledge and dedication to the Ganja bush had become ‘Paradise Seeds’, a reputable seed bank, for growers that demand only genuine and finest quality seeds. In 1999 we won the first prize with our famous variety Sensi Star in the Highlife Cup, the biggest, objective contest in Holland, for coffee shops, grow shops and seed banks. Again in 1999 we won first prize in the High Times Cannabis Cup with Sensi Star, and got fourth with Nebula! In 2000 we won second prize with Sensi Star again at the High Times Cannabis Cup. Paradise seeds maintain strict selection criteria on characteristics such as potency and taste. This results in the creation of powerful strains that will satisfy everyone who wants to enjoy the sweetest fruits of the Dutch Garden of Eden. Our seeds are grown organically and tested regularly on viability. We are dealing with living material; therefore we cannot guarantee that all seeds will germinate. One packet contains 10 seeds, and comes with basic information on growing, flowering and harvesting. Be aware there are several imitations on the market. Feel free to contact us for information where to purchase the original Paradise Seeds. Give us a call while having a spaced out visit to Amsterdam, if you want to take some seeds home! Due to the excellent quality of our seeds and our dedication to the ganja bush, you can soon proudly present your friends with a master smoke!

Reservoir Seeds Rez started growing in the late 80's,when I met a guy we'll call K, with a Phototron, a (Neville's) Seed Bank Catalog, and about fifteen sheets of very good blotter. K, who was to be my partner in many nefarious adventures over the next decade-plus, (until alcohol ruined his productivity) had a huge collection of High Times magazines which we read and re-read...and that's how it all started, in the most general sense. Soon the scenario was upgraded, to H.I.D. lighting, and I never looked back. I shared knowledge with a lot of people about what I knew best, which was indica-doms in ebb/flo tables, and we spread a fair amount of Skunk1/Basic5 and Neville's Hash Plant around a certain demographic area to the tune of a million or so, (in 80s bucks), before it all caved in, somewhat due to folks getting sloppy, but mostly because of some nasty LEO ops that would actively HUNT growers, sorta' like Vancouver has, now. When the SSSC and The Seed Bank closed shop back in the late 80's,I realized right at that point, way back then, that there was a huge IMPORTANCE in keeping the availability of great genetics of a plant that's illegal around. So, I selectively bred NL 5x2 f2s, Skunk1/B5 f2s, and some HP crosses, etc. Sadly, those seeds were lost years ago, off to a landfill as a result of a huge ****up involving misidentification of property.... but I bred my first seeds in 1989,if that dates me, a little. I've taken years off from growing here and there, but I always kept coming back-it's always the Best when you do it, yourself, imHo. Anyhow, you know what I've been up to for the past couple of years, so there's no need to elaborate about the Sour Diesel Projects or the William's Wonder Projects, let's just say I'm a busy entity who's totally absorbed by this work, we'll leave it at that.

Serious Seeds The breeder behind Serious Seeds, Simon, is responsible for the material sold by the seed bank. He studied biology at one of the universities in Amsterdam and was always a non-smoker. (Tobacco, and therefore also marihuana because in Holland it is common practice to mix the latter with tobacco and roll a joint.) He only discovered the merits of smoking pure marihuana after his study while traveling through Africa in 1986. Today he remains one of the few Dutch who smoke this wonder plant in its pure form as one should. From that moment on he started collecting seeds. Back in Holland he immediately started growing those seeds out for personal pleasure crossing what he thought were the best plants seemed a natural follow up. Contacts with other growers gave him access to different plants from which he also selected the best ones. The genetic background of this material was not always clear. Simon taught biology at a high school when Alan Dronkers asked him to come and work at Sensi Seeds. It was quite a career change to do that but he never felt sorry about it. After some time working for Sensi he left and started a seed company with some American pot refugees. That year (1994) the AK-47 as well as the Chronic won prices at the American Cannabis Cup festival in Amsterdam. That first seed company with the Americans however fell apart soon, and in 1995 Serious Seeds was grounded. It has always been a serious policy to have the products grown from the different seeds available to try out in some of the best coffee shops in Amsterdam. The 'Greenhouse' is one of those coffee shops, which carry Serious' products to smoke from the start in 1995 to this date. Greenhouse coffee shop won a Cannabis Cup in 1995 with the Kali mist grown by Serious Seeds. In 1996 another famous Amsterdam coffee shop the 'Dampkring' won the Overall Cup at that years Cannabis Cup with the newest Serious strain White Russian. Another serious shop from the early days is the 'Blue Bird' and recently also the 'Dread Rock', they really sell what is listed instead of anything under an often asked for name. Serious has always been a small company, and prefers to stay like that. We love to smoke ourselves and basically try to develop new and interesting plants to grow and smoke for our own pleasure as well as for our clients. This means we don't work to produce some- thing new every year for commercial reasons or to compete in the next contest. We want to put a new name out when we think we have something worthwhile for pot growers and smokers to try out. F1 hybrid - first generation offspring of 2 (usually different and unrelated) parents Germination - the sprouting of a seed, the tip of the root appears first Indica - referring to type of plant which looks short, bushy, leafy with broad leafs, grows a dense, compact bud in a shorter flowering time than another type of plant; Sativa Medicinal plant - plant seemingly useful for certain groups of patients (usually with high concentration of THC, possibly combined with other cannabinoids) Sativa – type of plant which looks tall, slender, with open in stead of dense buds, long flower times, but with usually better smoking effect than other type of plant; indica Strain – a line of plants from common ancestors with certain characteristics THC – short for the molecule responsible for the High effect in Cannabis Plant of the Year 2003: Serious Seeds 'AK47' It seems strange to choose as ‘PLANT OF THE YEAR’ a plant, which has been around for almost ten years. The prestigious ‘High Times’ magazine made the decision and was published in the December issue. What was the reason for this? The original article was written by Jorge Cervantas, the author of ‘Indoor Marihuana Horticulture’ and a regular co-writer for the American magazine. He told me that he wasn’t part of the group who came to this decision but merely got the order to write the story. Since he doesn’t live in the US any more he is not aware of all the things going on at the office. When contacting the SERIOUS SEEDS office I didn’t get much wiser. It was a surprise to them also. Although they stated that it was a well-earned price for a plant, which, notwithstanding the fact that it won more awards than any other plant known, still was never trumpeted about much. Could that be it? Surely the AK-47 is a well-known name in the cannabis scene since Serious Seeds coined it in 1995. But when scanning through old magazines I have to admit that little attention was given to it in articles. The fact that it is well known amongst growers is mostly from own experience and from their opinions given in chat rooms on the Internet. But when you look at a well-known name like ‘White Widow’ another plant thrown into the world by Dutch breeders at about the same time as the ‘AK-47’ the latter seems under snowed by the first. For years the name ‘White Widow’ was heard everywhere. But now, almost ten years later it seems that the AK-47 has been gaining popularity over the years and was slowly but surely growing out to be such an acknowledged and reliable champion that there was enough reason to have it chosen as plant of the year 2004. The popularity of this plant is not due to some successful and carefully planned campaign. No, it came from what matters; from the experience of growers everywhere buying the seeds and liking the results they got from them. They made the plant popular and if this is the reason for the ‘Plant of the year’ choice than it is indeed a rightful one. An ongoing phenomenon with popular seed names, which has been seen for years, is that other Companies like to use those names. They start selling seeds under either the same or almost the same name as the original. People who don’t know the name of the companies who produced the original seed names are an easy victim when they ask for this name and get a cheap imitation in stead. At this moment for example is the ‘Nirvana’seed company doing exactly that. They sell a seed with the name of ‘AK-48’, how original can you be? But that’s not all. When you compare the description of this strain at their website with that of ‘AK-47’ by Serious Seeds it is impossible to see a difference. They copied it till the last letter, won awards and all!! This is not only parasiting on the popularity of reputable seed companies, it is cheating and robbing people who are not aware of what is going on. Practices like this are the cause of bad raps in the cannabis scene. Although ‘Nirvana’ is not the only seed producer making money like this, they seem to be the leading company when it comes to parasiting on popular names. Facts of AK-47: The name does not refer to any violent idea but was chosen because it is a ‘one hit wonder’ At least 7 awards were gathered over the years in different weed festivals With 20% THC the strongest entry at the Amsterdam’ Cannabis Cup of 1999 (2nd place) The name AK-47 is sometimes also used by other seed companies than Serious Seeds, this is a common thing when certain names become popular (BEWARE!) The original packaging comes in an airtight tube containing 15 seeds attached to a card with a picture of the strain on the front and a serial number, which must be kept in case problems do occur Please look for the original packaging when you buy Serious Seeds strains or you know they are copies Smokinseeds Smokinseeds is a Canadian company specializing in Canadian genetics. We offer our customers a vast amount of cannabis knowledge under one roof, a direct line of communications with select Canadian Seed companies and an assurance that we can assist you with your every seed requirements. Soma Seeds Soma is a 55-year-old Rastafarian who is spiritually dedicated to the sacred cannabis plant. He has been working with the plant for 37 years. He wears pants and shirts made out of it, smokes it constantly; he has a prescription for 10 grams a day, and studies every aspect of the marijuana phenomenon. He feels that it is one of the tools that can save humanity from its direction of self-destruction. He knows that it helps healing take place whenever and wherever it is used. Unlike aspirin, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine and nuclear radiation, cannabis has never killed anyone. It is one of the safest therapeutic substances known to man. Humankind has been using it since time immemorial. It is one of the best paper sources in the whole wide world, it can be recycled 7 times, takes one fifth of the pollution to manufacture than tree paper, and could be a totally renewable source of Bio-fuel. Hempseed is one of the best sources of vegetable protein available on planet earth and 55% of a mature cannabis plant is seeds. The only problem is the art of cannabis has been recently lost to mankind, it has been lied about, it has been suppressed, it has come close to genocide and the fear factor for this safest of substances has been blown totally out of proportion. Soma Seeds plans on changing the direction a few things are going these days. First of all Soma Seeds is an earth friendly business striving to think of earth first in the business that we create. We grow our seeds biologically; we let our hearts guide us with the plants, not calendars, not money, not power trips, but sacredness, a vibration of mutual trust, an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, a friendship. Soma Seeds focus's on the medicinal side of cannabis, constantly striving to find better and better genetics to be used in a medicinal way. Medicinal cannabis has to be grown in a manner where the end product is truly going to make the patient feel better, not full of pesticides, poisons, and money vibes. Our seeds are tested constantly for their germination quality. We have a line of 100% female seeds as well as male and female seeds. Our male and female seeds are usually about 30% male 70% female. We have 20 different types of seeds available Spice Brothers Spice Brothers seed Bank was created in order to make expensive strains more affordable to the average grower. We believe Great genetics should not, and does not have to cost a lot of money. We could claim to have reinvented some new strain but instead we admit that our beans are of pure f2s and of original crosses of top quality proven well-known strains at a fraction of the cost. Spice of Life Spice of Life features unique Canadian and Dutch genetics using only the highest quality breeding stock to bring you new flavors.

My mentors were people like A/B Hyb, Nesta, and Vic High.I am now a legal Caregiver and we grow in 100% organic Super soil.My focus now is cubing and stabilizing elite crosses that hang around in clone form only. I created jacks Cleaner the Potency in Life saver and discovered Micanopy Moonbeam that makes up Blue moon. We now have breeding rooms in Canada and the US to duplicate our succesfull crosses. Something we feel is unique is the fact that most of our breeding projects are documented online. Doc was the first person to see what we were doing and give us the chance to go public.I remain very active and am online daily to answer any questions. Subcool THC Laboratories THC Laboratories is the result of Dutch and Canadian breeders coming together to share knowledge and genetics in pursuit of the finest Medical Cannabis on the planet. THC Seeds THC Seeds have been developed in conjunction with top famous Dutch seed breeder Shantibaba and are a relatively new seed range. THC: The Highland Company (unlimited) offer a unique range of seeds with varieties to suit all tastes. Braveheart Highlander Scud Northern Skank, Pure Skank and Hash Plant are premium seeds on offer. 10 seeds per packet. TH Seeds Having been around for more than ten years, T.H. Seeds has established itself as one of the most highly regarded seed companies in the world. It has introduced to the world numerous and now infamous cannabis varieties such as the original Bubblegum, the impressive sativa S.A.G.E. and many more. It can definitely be said that T.H. Seeds has secured its place as a leading competitor in the cannabis seed industry as they won first prize in the Indica Seed Category at the High Times Cannabis Cup for two years in a row now, for respectively The Hog (2002) and MK-Ultra (2003). 1993 was the year T.H. Seeds established its name in the world of cannabis cultivation. Right in the center of Amsterdam, it had its base at the cool hangout called C.I.A. (Cannabis in Amsterdam). The C.I.A. was not only the headquarters for T.H. Seeds but also the first outlet for Europe’s first and finest Hemp store Hempworks. Many notorious cannabis connoisseurs were impressed by the C.I.A and it quickly became one of the most popular places to visit, meet other cannabis enthusiasts and exchange knowledge on cannabis cultivation. R.C. Clarke perfectly described it as he named it “the epicenter of the cannabis universe”. Due to Amsterdam’s bureaucratic reasoning in 1995, the C.I.A. had to close down, but fortunately they found a great location right around the corner from where the store used to be. T.H. Seeds and Hempworks are now established on one of Amsterdam’s most famous shopping streets, the Nieuwendijk. Impressive introductions followed like the living legend S.A.G.E. in 1995. This strain rapidly became one of the worlds most sought after sativa’s. The great flavor and the long lasting high conquered many cannabis loving hearts. The great results on growing this plant made it one of the most attractive sativa’s to grow. Over the years S.A.G.E. has been gaining more and more respect resulting in numerous awards. In the year 2000 it took first place at the High Times Cannabis Cup in the hash category. A year later it won the second prize in the Press Cup at the same Cup. In 2002 it was awarded at the High Life Cup with a second prize for seed companies and also grabbed second place in the outdoor category. Other interesting strains from T.H. Seeds’ original collection include the flavorful Chocolate Chunk, the massive producer Heavy Duty Fruity, the resin-packed Kal-X and a knockout variety The Hog. This year T.H. Seeds added two new varieties to its collection: Sage ‘n Sour, a killer cross between the flagship strain S.A.G.E. and the infamous Sour Diesel. A tasty Sativa with a reasonably short flowering time. The other new strain is called MK Ultra. A special cross between the legendary (super strong!) G-13 and world famous L.A. Kush, Very strong and flavorful. One thing’s for sure and that is that T.H. Seeds has grown a lot in the past years. Its main focus has always been and always will be preserving and improving their line of top quality of seeds and meeting the demands of growers and smokers. Adam T.H.Seeds past Victories: 1995 Cannabis Cup: Kal-X hash laminate takes 3rd place in the hash category 1996 Cannabis Cup: Bubblegum hash micro-chip takes 3rd place in the hash category 1996 HasH Bash: Bubblegum laminated hash takes 2nd place in the hash category. 1998 Cannabis Cup: S.A.G.E. takes 3rd highest THC level with 21% THC.

Vancouver Island Seed Co. 20 years ago I realized that cannabis is best when it’s fresh and handled well, so I started growing. This led me quickly into the quest for the perfect strain. Over the past 15 years I have created 199 breeds. I take pleasure in “bettering” the plants and continue to strive for the finest possible genetics. Plants can be grown by anyone, the more love you give them, the more they give you. The more TLC you give them the more THC you get back. In soil I find my breeds do best in pH6.4 -6.6, hydroponics it is 6.2-6.3 that works best. My goals are to provide the best taste, best high and easy to grow strains West Coast Seed Co. Looking for an early outdoor strain? This local company has a lot to offer with its numerous Mighty Mite crosses. White Label White Label is the sister company of Sensi Seeds. Here Sensi offers their own versions of very popular strains - high demand, high quality, and low prices are what you'll find with White Label.
