Our Seeds
We breed hemp for many reasons. To fill a gap in our genetic library, to create more resilient varieties, to acclimate genetics to our climate, to push the limits of potency, to find new flavors, to create custom cannabinoid ratios, and the list goes on. But to sum it all up, we breed to allow new possibilities and new potential to flow forth from this incredible plant. We simply enjoy seeing what this plant is capable of and it has never ceased to amaze us.
As breeders, we make selections. In doing so, we choose which parents to begin a breeding program with and we decide whether to move forward with the program and if so in what direction. Sometimes we just want to have fun and see what two plants might be capable of together. We might do large open pollinations and dive in to a multitude of phenotypes or cross an industrial fiber strain with a high resin CBD plant. We might do reproductions of a variety we really like, or work a high THC strain into a type III hemp variety. Theres really no direction we are afraid to head in.
However, at the end of the day, we really want to give everyone the opportunity to grow their own. Let the people decide for themselves what they want in a plant. Give them the opportunity to plant a seed, make more seed, find a cutting, and maybe, just maybe, one day hemp will be grown in every single home garden.
Yes, we need stable feminized F1’s in this industry, especially when producing hemp on acreage. Farmers need to be able to count on reliable seed so that they can do what they do best, which is grow. We are staunch supporters of seed suppliers like OregonCBD and value what they bring to the community. We don’t feel like we are competing against them and we don’t make claims about our seeds that we can’t substantiate. We are small time breeders, without the tools needed to crack this plants genetic code. But we do have our senses and we do know what good medicine is. We also see that there’s a need for mold-resistant varieties, autoflowers, dual and triple purpose varieties, non-feminized seeds, and most importantly genetic diversity.
For farmers looking to buy a million seeds, we’re not for you. If your looking for something unique, a new terpene profile, maybe an autoflower or mixed ratio, then let’s talk. We grow for the pheno-hunters, the creators, the ones who still believe this plant has a soul. I think more often than not breeders give themselves too much credit; it’s the plant we have to thank for her unlimited untapped potential. I’m just along for the ride.
