How One Man Changed The Course Of Cannabis History

The founder and owner of Green House Seed Company is Arjan Roskam, who fell in love with Haze and other exotic genetics collected on trips to Thailand, Nepal, and other faraway places. In the late 80s and early 90s, at a time when everyone else in Amsterdam was concerned with mass-producing generic weed, Arjan was busy creating marijuana strains that really stood out. And his efforts paid off, with a vengeance. Since 1993, when he first introduced his groundbreaking creations to the market, he has dominated cannabis cups and won more than 50 major awards.

Worldwide Demand For Green House Seeds Genetics

After the first landslide of these wins and Arjan was featured on the cover of High Times magazine in 1995, tourists from all over the world poured into Green House coffeeshops in Amsterdam to try their unique genetics. Among them were many A-list celebrities who were eager to meet Arjan, the King of Cannabis, who encouraged these influencers to be more vocal in promoting the normalization of the substance.

Growing GHS Seeds = Joining The Good Cause

As is the case with any cutting-edge movement, producing marijuana seeds for sale goes way beyond commerce. It has become the fuel for the peaceful revolution that’s started to transform world policy regarding marijuana consumption. Green House Seeds has further helped bring about such changes by making Strain Hunters, the very popular documentary series, in which people travel to remote and hard-to-reach places in the quest for rare varieties of weed.

From Exotic To Domestic: Genetics For Every Home Grower

You don’t get to be so popular unless you offer the world something truly outstanding, and from its early days, Green House Seeds bet on producing exotic varieties unlike anything offered by the competition. Roskam was the one to discover Haze, which proved to be one of the most successful Sativa lines on the market. Over the years, the company has bred close to 100 feminized strains, all of which are first-rate representatives of every category: Sativas, Indicas, hybrids, photoperiod-dependent, autoflowering, high THC, and high CBD.

With Green House Seeds, users get the chance to try some of the most uncommon landraces (like their impressive line of Hazes), tamed by the team of experienced breeders so that even a novice gardener can grow them easily. Of course, it’s not all about indoor cultivation. According to reviews, many GHS varieties are suitable for the cold and harsh climates of Northern Europe or mountain regions. There’s a growing number of autoflowers that can be raised anywhere. Medical patients are also sure to find a strain, be it high-THC or high-CBD, that will best suit their particular condition. All Green House Seeds’ strains are feminized, so you’re guaranteed to have female plants only.

GHS’ Top 5 Strains Loved for Their Growth, Flavors and Effects

This short list of Green House Seeds’ five top-selling varieties consists of plants that people buy in large quantities thanks to their ease of cultivation, generous harvests, and overall quality of smoke. Read on and judge for yourself whether you want to have these babies in your garden, too.

Big Bang Auto: Explosive Growth in Record Time

This Indica-dominant autoflower is mainly appreciated for its short stature and equally short flowering time. As the name suggests, these plants tend to explode in all directions, and their numerous branches become covered by dense and heavy buds in just 42 days from the moment the first female hairs appear. You’ll be happy with Big Bang Auto’s hefty yields and even happier with the way it smokes: a sweet mix of fruity and flowery flavors that usher in a deeply soothing Indica relaxation.

White Widow: A Rare, Beautiful, and Dangerous Beast

One of the most formidable representatives of the ‘White’ family, this strain offers remarkable knockout power. Just a couple of hits from the bong will numb your body and soothe all your aches and pains. On the flip side, you won’t be able to move a muscle, so it’s probably best to enjoy this potent weed only in the evening when all chores are done and no one will bother you. White Widow is also considered a great sleep medicine, and the rich sweet fruity flavor will make the treatment a very enjoyable experience.

Jack Herer: An Exotic but Tamed Sativa

Jack Herer, one of the most popular brands in the world of cannabis, is a strain offered by many seed banks, and the version by Green House Seeds can be counted among the best of them. This Sativa-dominant variety provides a smooth boost of energy that’s sustained for several hours. It makes you happy, helps both with boring chores and creative tasks, and keeps anxiety at bay. There was a time when Sativas like this grew only in tropical climates, were of gigantic proportions, and took forever to mature, but Jack Herer is a medium-sized and fast-flowering plant, perfect for indoor cultivation.

Franco’s Lemon Cheese: Putting a Silly Grin on Your Face

This mouth-watering hybrid is a cross between two most delicious varieties: the award-winning Super Lemon Haze with its intense citrus aroma, and the legend from the UK, the pungent Exodus Cheese. Besides this rich and unique terpene profile, Franco’s Lemon Cheese offers a very pleasant high that makes you happy, chatty and giggly, while physically relaxing you at the same time. It’s great for laid-back gatherings of friends or in fact any party or social events, and with 21% THC, the effects are also extremely strong and long-lasting.

Jack Herer Auto: The Real Thing, Only Smaller and Faster

When you breed autoflowers, the challenge is to take some crazy popular photoperiod variety and make it flower automatically without compromising any of its most beloved features like smell, taste, type of high, and overall strength and duration. With Jack Herer Auto, the breeders at GHS have achieved this goal 100%. This mini-me companion of the original Jack has practically the same THC content as well as the same mood-lifting and anxiety-melting effects, with some pleasant body buzz as a bonus.

Inexhaustible Source of Great Genetics

The five strains presented above will give you a good insight into what Green House Seeds genetics are capable of. If you want to continue your acquaintance with this first-rate seed bank, you can do so practically forever, because these breeders have a great range of genetics and are constantly developing new strains. Of course, if you ever decide to try something else, you may find some great choices in our other articles from this series. Keep growing!
