Strain Hunters

Strain Hunters is an Amsterdam-based cannabis brand and seed bank dedicated to identifying, documenting, and preserving rare landrace genetics from around the globe. Founded in 2008 by Arjan Roskam and Franco Loja of Green House Seeds, the brand acts as a dedicated initiative to locate vulnerable, indigenous cannabis strains before they are lost to hybridization or environmental changes.

The core goal is to preserve biodiversity by locating untouched, landrace cannabis strains - particularly in underdeveloped or remote areas - and making them accessible to scientists, doctors, and growers worldwide. Strain Hunters is famous for its documentary series, which chronicles dangerous and intensive expeditions to regions like Colombia, Congo, Malawi, India, and Jamaica. These films highlight the culture, history, and botany behind local cannabis.

The Strain Hunters Seed Bank offers - in opposite to pure landrace varieties as you may think - a catalogue of feminized and autoflowering seeds, such as White Lemon, Money Maker and Damnesia, breed with genetics derived from their travels.

In summary, Strain Hunters is a preservation-focused seed bank and media brand that caters to connoisseurs and growers looking for authentic, exotic, and historically significant cannabis genetics.
