Exclusive interview with Green House Seeds

September 24, 2010 | Permalink

GH-Interview-Logo.jpegWe caught up with the guys at Green House Seeds to find out what they're up to and we've put together this exclusive interview just for you!

Q: We’ll start with an easy question. What’s your favourite strain of cannabis?

A: My favourite strain is Super Lemon Haze. This has a fruity Hazy taste and it lasts a long time. Especially with a vaporizer it is great!

Q: How did you get into producing seeds?

A: When we won the first Cannabis Cup in 1993 people asked us for the seeds of the winning strains. Our coffeeshop at that time was unique in Amsterdam. We were specialised in Cannabis and not so much in hashish. Also the strains we had were very unique. We were breeding strains that nobody had. After so many people had asked us we started to produce seeds.

Q: You cleared up again at the 2009 HTCC, giving you a total of 34 wins. What’s the secret of your success?

A: Our secret, in my point of view, is that we are always looking for something new. Coloured seeds, terpen profiles, Strain Hunters, grow DVD, these things are quite innovative. We also do our own fieldwork, so we know what we're talking about.

During Cannabis Cup we try to spent time with all the people who come to visit us. So they feel special and they are. We have met over the years unique people with many crazy and funny stories.

Q: Last year you introduced colour-coded seeds, what will be your next innovation?

A: I cannot tell too much about our new projects, but I can tell that we work at the moment with strains with low THC and high CBD’s. Very interesting for medical patients.

GH-Interview-Strain-Hunters.jpegQ: In 2008 you embarked on the first Strain Hunters expedition to Africa, and in 2009 you went to India. Have you got another expedition planned, and if so, where do you plan on going?

A: In 2010 we planned Strain Hunters in Morocco. Also in 2011 we have planned two or three new Strain Hunter movies. The countries we keep secret because you have to understand that governments are not waiting for us with open arms. Some situations are potentially dangerous and very risky.

Q: When do you plan on releasing the genetics found from Strain Hunters?

A: Well new strains from Strain Hunters will take a few years. To make new crosses until F5 you need about two years.

Q: One of our most asked questions is when some of the new strains, particularly Chemdog, will be released. Do you have any dates yet?

A: Jack Herer is available now and Chemdog will be out in the end of the year. In seed production some strains are more fertile than others. So Chemdog needed a little more research.

Q: Finally, do you any more strains or anything else in the pipeline?

A: We are working on many strains at the moment but as you understand I cannot tell anything about it.

Thanks for your time and good luck for the future!

Purpose of Strain Hunters

Our planet is home to millions of species of animal and plants with their own habitat, and each plays a unique role in the perfect design of nature. Unfortunately many species of plants and animals are victim of uncontrolled human development. The sole intent of Strain Hunters is to identify, locate and retrieve cannabis landraces that have not yet been studied, in order to give scientists and doctors the possibility to further enhance knowledge of the cannabis plant in the medicinal field.


Preservation of Landraces

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.

Cannabis should not be illegal


One of the goals of the United Nations, published years ago in official reports, was to wipe out the cannabis plant from the face of the earth by the year 2010. In reality this is far from being achieved, because man keeps using the cannabis plant for religious, medicinal and recreational purposes no matter what the law says. Most cultures cannot comprehend how a plant can be made illegal. In most people’s perception, plants and animals stand above a status of legality or illegality, they just exist in a higher design of nature that goes beyond human laws and regulations.

Nevertheless most governments of cannabis- producing countries are implementing drastic measures to destroy crops. Dangerous chemicals are sprayed over fields and over the farmers themselves in most of the third world countries, and the poorest people of the planet are the ones paying the highest price for cultivating a plant that does not kill. But in the economy of scale, where demand dictates supply, the poorest people of the planet have no choice but to cultivate cannabis as a cash crop to feed their children and send them to school. Communities that are isolated in remote areas in the poorest regions of the planet are often the keepers of very special landraces.
