Early in my growing experience, it did not take long to realize the quality of the genetics is going to decide the quality of the outcome. After spending thousands of dollars on seeds, it was obvious that by far the vast majority of the seeds out there are mediocre at best. After investing years of building relationships with some very talented breeders and growers, we have obtained some of the best genetics in existence. Our mission is simple: to provide the best genetics in seed form to those that know the value of world-class genetics.Our decision to carry a strain depends on whether we believe that strain to be a definite “keeper”. By working with large medical marijuana growers, we have had the opportunity to compare countless strains side by side in the same environment to find that top 1% that people search so hard for.Our breeding strategy is three-fold:To preserve and provide the best representation of classic strains in seed form. Over the years, it is becoming more difficult to find strains such as the original Sour Diesel, Cinderella 99 or UK Cheese that are identical to the original clone-only version. Too many seed companies don’t backcross the original enough to get regular seeds identical to the original and instead provide a watered-down version. The original cuttings are becoming increasingly scarce as years go by and eventually, these treasures could be lost. While some companies do provide some feminized seeds from self pollinated clone only strains, those strains move one more step towards disappearing forever if that company ceases to operate. By backcrossing five generations, a breeder can create regular seeds that are 97% original genetics. If the original male/strain is carefully selected to start the backcrossing and the best phenotypes are chosen from each generation, nothing is lost. If anything, yield, smell/taste and potency can be improved with careful breeding selection.To preserve and provide the best representation of more current exceptional clone-only strains in seed form. Occasionally, anonymous amateur breeders create strains like Cinex, Gorilla Glue or Bruce Banner that are on par with some of the best strains ever created. At one time, Sour Diesel and Blue Dream fit in this category and the world would have never discovered these strains if growers and breeders hadn’t made these genetics available to other growers. These strains can sometimes be recreated if the original genetics are known or backcrossed so that these gems can be made available to the rest of the growing community.To create new strains from elite genetics. Breeding is much more than crossing two strains and calling it a new strain. Only breeding stock that would qualify as a super rockstar by anyone that has grown her is considered. Before starting a breeding project, we determine what our goals are. For example, we may have a very tasty and potent indica that we want to add some sativa to design the perfect effect. After careful consideration and research, we may decide on a strain that we believe would be the perfect potential match to achieve the breeding goals. If we don’t already have the strain we want to work with, we search through our large network of breeders and growers. If we find a version that is exceptional, we begin the breeding and selection process. If we obtain the strain but we don’t feel that the genetics would be considered world-class, we scrap that particular project until one is found. If we believe a cross has exceptional effect, potency, taste, smell and bag appeal, then we release the strain.We realize that patients invest considerable resources to create the best possible medicine. We take pride in our role of providing the best possible genetics possible.

The story about how we came to acquire this strain is long but will give an idea about how valuable this strain is.Some time ago, I met a grower that had a large collection of elite cuts that he was offering to trade for other genetics. The one strain that he had, that he did not give out to anybody, was an older version of LSD. He said that his friends bought seeds but the more current seeds never resulted in a plant as nice as his. Of course, the strain he did not want to give away was the one I was most curious about.About six months later, an older woman called in from our website to ask about some strains. As we were talking, she mentioned that her favorite smoke of all time was a strain her friend, “J” grew called LSD. She said that he might be willing to talk to me and possibly gift some seeds. About a week later, “J” called me and told me the story about how he had acquired LSD seeds.Back in 1963, “J” grew in the Sierra Mountains with his friend “B”. B decided to move to Europe to start a seed company but before he moved, he gave seeds that were a cross of what eventually became skunk and Mazar that he had gotten from another grower to J. Years later, the seeds that B took with him ended up becoming an indica dominant strain called LSD.Since 1963, “J” made more seeds every decade or so and chose sativa dominant phenotypes. Out of the hundreds of strains he has grown in the last 50 years, he claims that this strain is heads and shoulders above them all. He said he was willing to gift me some seeds so that this sativa dominant version of LSD would not be eventually lost to the growing community.One batch he grew tested in a lab at 27% THC.The smell can be described as spiced eggnog. The high is intensely powerful and long lasting. This strain feels like you have been transported to another world.Flowering Time: 9 weeks Yield: Heavy Potency: Extremely potent Genetics: Skunk x Mazar
