Classic Seeds

What are Seedstockers’ classic seeds?

For a cannabis seed to gain a good reputation in the competitive cannabis market, several things must happen. Firstly, to be able to achieve fame, the strain in question needs to offer some unusual characteristics that make it stand out above all the others.

In this sense, there are no rules. Some stand out for their terpene profile, which translates into a very special flavour (either for its intensity or for the novelty of its organoleptic nuances). Others, by contrast, win the hearts of cannabis fans for their ability to produce out-of-this-world crops… Huge amounts of juicy buds that leave growers totally gobsmacked!

Sky-rocketing potency is another feature that has made a name for many cannabis seeds within the multi-faceted cannabis universe. With a high THC count that’s definitely not suitable for beginners, some seeds like Rucu Cucu OG Fem can reach tetrahydrocannabinol levels of up to 30%.

But to become what we can call a classic marijuana seed, they need to muster a compendium of extraordinary features. And this is why these strains are unique and enduring… They’re the undisputed elite of cannabis genetics, and any grower worth their salt should have them in their garden at least once in their lifetime.

How are classic cannabis strains created?

As we mentioned earlier, it takes much more than a few top-notch characteristics for a cannabis seed to become a classic.

In actual fact, the cannabis Olympus is formed by those strains that were not only a true revolution in their time, but have gone on to become the pillars on which the modern hybrid market we know today has been founded.

And when a cannabis variety reaches this status, it becomes the ascendant from which a whole saga of strains that bear its genetic seal are created.

This is the case of classic seeds such as Super Skunk Fem, derived from the cross of Skunk 1 and Afghani. And Skunk 1 isn’t just any other classic strain… We could say that it’s the classic of all classics, as it was the first stabilised cannabis hybrid in history!

That’s right, this legendary strain was created in California in the 1970s by a group of breeders called ‘Sacred Seeds’ (which included Sam the Skunkman). They challenged the adverse legal framework of the time to perform a breeding and selection work that would later be essential for the creation of many of the genetics that we know today.

This group decided to stabilise a cross of cannabis genetics for the first time through what we know today as a breeding process. Their work led to the creation of a hybrid with a high level of stability (named Skunk #1 for the heady intensity of its aroma), which served as a prop for the creation of many of the unforgettable strains that have marked a before and after, such as the legendary Cheese. Who could forget its stinking and pungent Skunky aroma?

Another classic that is already part of cannabis history, and which appeared at the same time as Skunk #1, is the Original Haze saga, a group of genetics derived from the famous strain created by ‘The Haze Brothers’ in California, which was the result of the cross of several Landrace varieties.

However, this pair of growers did not work to stabilise the genetics, something that would not happen until the 1980s in Holland. Yes, that’s right, this precious strain travelled across the globe to serve as the raw material for some breeders to work on the creation and stabilisation of new genotypes. This process took place in the ‘new cannabis paradise’ that Holland (or more specifically, Amsterdam) became at that time.

Thanks to the breeding work using Original Haze (a cross of pure sativas from Mexico, Colombia, Thailand, and South India), some classic cannabis seeds saw the light of day, such as Jack Herer Fem, a legacy that lives on today and which still remains a highly sought-after variety.

Why buy classic cannabis seeds at Seedstockers?

As the industry develops, choosing cannabis seeds from the huge array of options out there is becoming increasingly difficult.

Every year, new hybrids and flavours are released. But only a few varieties are destined to last from among this great offer, and an even smaller number of these will actually become classic cannabis seeds. Nowadays, we’re incredibly lucky to be able to choose from such a varied range of strains, because this gives growers the chance to select the one that really suits their needs.

Therefore, we can currently find formats for all tastes, from CBD seeds for those seeking a more moderate effect, or to simply benefit from the properties of this cannabinoid; through to autoflower seeds, which are ideal for growers looking to harvest in record time, or who live in cold climates with short summers.

In any case, there are flavours, cannabinoid profiles, and formats for all tastes; and we’re certain that there’s still much more to explore.

Having said that, returning to the roots of everything not only provides immense pleasure, but also helps us remember why we fell in love with this plant in the first place.

And that’s the magic of classic cannabis seeds… They’re like a good wine that improves over time. With their incredibly high quality standards, these genetics continue to be unequalled gems that never disappoint, even decades after their creation.

In our classic seed catalogue, you’ll find treasures of all sorts… Some are more ‘old-school’, such as the legendary Amnesia Fem, a variety that was all the craze in the 90s and which stood out as one of the most representative strains of ‘the Haze saga’.

Nowadays, its extraordinary qualities continue to surprise rookies, whilst veteran growers get to fall in love with it all over again. Thanks to its incredible potency, massive yields, and unique scent, this lady romps to victory decade after decade.

Other more contemporary strains have become classic seeds because their emergence on the market was an important turning point. This is the case of Girl Scout Cookies Fem, an American variety that changed the rules of the game with its ‘fresh from the oven’ pastry taste.

And even though the American genetics had already been going strong for a few years, with classic marijuana seeds like OG Kush Fem (the most sought-after variety on the West Coast) or Sour Diesel Fem (the queen of ‘gas-flavoured’ strains), the most famous cookie in the cannabis firmament showed, once again, that there were still more things to be invented.

A tempting taste accompanied by a high-flying effect turned Girl Scout Cookies Fem into what it is today: a classic cannabis seed from which tons of hybrids have emerged, with all of them retaining that unmistakable ‘cookie’ flavour that makes them so special.

How do you get classic cannabis seeds?

As the range of marijuana strains has expanded, some experts have realised the need to ‘go back to the roots’. In other words, to not forget or let go of those legendary strains that are actually the basis of the modern cannabis industry.

In that sense, classic seeds could be compared to comets… because they don’t cross our skies every day… That’s why the most knowledgeable cannabis community has worked hard to preserve the elite clones of those unique varieties, so that they’re not lost to oblivion.

Nowadays, it’s not so easy to get original clones of the most highly-valued varieties, mainly because they have been passed on from one hand to another, with the original strains not always being preserved. Therefore, one of the great challenges for our team of breeders has been to find and preserve these precious gems. This is something we couldn’t have achieved without our background, which is a journey into the cannabis community that goes back many years, even before the creation of Seedstockers.

Only with the trust and good reputation that precedes us have we been worthy and able of mustering the classic seeds that you will find in this section… True cannabis jewels that have become legends and which we have preserved in our genetic library as if our lives depended on it.

Our mission is to keep alive the legacy that has cost so much effort to all those growers, breeders, and cannabis lovers who risked everything to obtain the classic seeds that we can enjoy today.

Growing strains such as Northern Lights Fem or Moby Dick Fem isn’t just an incredible experience for the quality of their crops, but also because it represents a tribute to a bit of cannabis history… A recognition to decades of adventures and genetic improvement that are already part of the collective memory.

Can I buy classic cannabis seeds online?

The great challenge for many growers and lovers of good cannabis has been to obtain those sought-after phenos that have become classics. Finding original strains is no easy task, since they basically originate from elite clones that are only shared among those members of the community who are already well connected.

Since its creation, the objective of Seedstockers has been to make these top quality genetics, that are so highly appreciated by users, available to all growers. We believe that good cannabis should be accessible to all at competitive prices, so that every grower can enjoy the best flavours and effects.

Therefore, we have pushed ourselves to transfer all these premium genotypes to seed format. How do we do it? It’s quite simple (or maybe not so simple in actual fact!). Firstly, our team of breeders goes hunting for the strain in question. To do this, we have created synergies and collaborations with breeders and personalities within the global cannabis community. Getting hold of these elite clones has become our main obsession!

Once we have them in our hands, we carry out intense breeding and selection work to obtain the best sample, which will then be either used as a parent for the cross that will give rise to a new variety, or kept to create the seeds we put on the market.

Today, there’s many who still feel great nostalgia and want to recover those classic seeds that have given them so much joy. In a market flooded with hundreds of different names and dozens of new strains that emerge year after year, returning to the quality of those varieties that laid the foundation of the industry can be incredibly comforting.

Getting hold of these precious gems, without the fear of making a mistake, has never been easier. We’ve created this section for those growers who want to fill their grows with legendary plants at the best price.

Well, now with our classic cannabis seed section, it’s easier than ever!

What’s the average yield of classic seeds?

‘High yielding potential’ is one of the characteristics that elevates a strain to the Olympus of cannabis goddesses. Nonetheless, this isn’t the only feature that experts appreciate in a cannabis variety: as well as quantity, the quality of the crops must also be excellent.

When these two variables come together, the strain in question has a great chance of being catapulted to fame, although only a few will make it to the classic seed category. And which grower doesn’t want to fill their larder to the brim with ultra-resinous and super aromatic flowers?

This is why many of the classic seeds that you’ll find in this catalogue have well above average production ratios. This is the case of Moby Dick Fem, Big Bud Fem, or Amnesia Auto. These ladies can produce an inordinate number of flowers that leave those who grow them completely amazed!

The classic marijuana seeds that you’ll find in this section are classified according to their yielding capacity:

Massive: We give this label to those classic seeds that are an absolute wonder of nature… True prodigies capable of delivering huge amounts of aromatic buds. A good example of these are BNC Power Plant Fem and Golden Lemon Haze Fem.

Huge: Within this group, you’ll find those classic cannabis seeds with above average yielding capacity… Strains that can deliver heavy yields of incredible quality when they’re provided with just a little TLC. Some of the gems classified in this section include BCN Critical XXL Auto, Runtz Fem, and Cookies Fast Fem.

Large: As you can see, the classic cannabis seeds that we’ve selected for our catalogue all deliver pretty high yields. The strains categorised as ‘large’ are those that produce good results and have become really popular… Because, while the size of their crops is generous, it is actually their quality that’s rather impressive. Proof of this is our White Widow Fem.

What’s the average THC count of Seedstockers’ classic cannabis seeds?

In the last decade, there has been a paradigm shift in which new strains rich in CBD (and other cannabinoids like CBG) have been launched onto the market.

CBD seeds are a great option for those users with different needs, who either want to benefit from this and other cannabinoids, or have a low tolerance to the effects of THC.

Why is it important to understand the cannabinoid ratios of the different cannabis profiles? This is quite simple: the composition of the cannabis plant (in terms of both cannabinoids and terpenes) determines its effects, both at psychoactive and therapeutic level.

At the time when most of the classic cannabis seeds that you’ll find in this catalogue were originally created, potency was the most relevant feature.

So, although you’ll find all types of genetics in the Seedstockers catalogue, ranging from high-THC seeds to strains with more balanced THC:CBD ratios (such as our CBD 1:1 Silver Lime Haze Auto), classic seeds are generally ultra-potent genetics with high levels of THC, which is the quintessential psychoactive cannabinoid of marijuana. It’s important to point out that the classic cannabis seeds you’ll find here produce a high-flying psychoactive effect.

And you can easily choose between different strains. Some produce more cerebral and psychedelic sensations, which is typical of sativa seeds, such as Amnesia Auto. With its 23% - 26% THC levels, this plant delivers an extremely intense active and mental effect. On the other hand, you can choose from our indica seeds, which are more suitable for those looking for a narcotic and relaxing effect. For instance, Northern Lights Auto, a strain with 22% THC levels that can keep you couch locked for quite some time!

This is a privileged cast of classic marijuana seeds, with an average THC content over 20%. This translates into strong effects that are certainly not suitable for users who don’t easily tolerate the powerful psychoactivity of these emblematic ladies!
