Exclusive interview with Green House Seeds
We caught up with the guys at Green House Seeds to find out what they're up to and we've put together this exclusive interview just for you!
Q: We’ll start with an easy question. What’s your favourite strain of cannabis?
A: My favourite strain is Super Lemon Haze. This has a fruity Hazy taste and it lasts a long time. Especially with a vaporizer it is great!
Q: How did you get into producing seeds?
A: When we won the first Cannabis Cup in 1993 people asked us for the seeds of the winning strains. Our coffeeshop at that time was unique in Amsterdam. We were specialised in Cannabis and not so much in hashish. Also the strains we had were very unique. We were breeding strains that nobody had. After so many people had asked us we started to produce seeds.
Q: You cleared up again at the 2009 HTCC, giving you a total of 34 wins. What’s the secret of your success?
A: Our secret, in my point of view, is that we are always looking for something new. Coloured seeds, terpen profiles, Strain Hunters, grow DVD, these things are quite innovative. We also do our own fieldwork, so we know what we're talking about.
During Cannabis Cup we try to spent time with all the people who come to visit us. So they feel special and they are. We have met over the years unique people with many crazy and funny stories.
Q: Last year you introduced colour-coded seeds, what will be your next innovation?
A: I cannot tell too much about our new projects, but I can tell that we work at the moment with strains with low THC and high CBD’s. Very interesting for medical patients.
Q: In 2008 you embarked on the first Strain Hunters expedition to Africa, and in 2009 you went to India. Have you got another expedition planned, and if so, where do you plan on going?
A: In 2010 we planned Strain Hunters in Morocco. Also in 2011 we have planned two or three new Strain Hunter movies. The countries we keep secret because you have to understand that governments are not waiting for us with open arms. Some situations are potentially dangerous and very risky.
Q: When do you plan on releasing the genetics found from Strain Hunters?
A: Well new strains from Strain Hunters will take a few years. To make new crosses until F5 you need about two years.
Q: One of our most asked questions is when some of the new strains, particularly Chemdog, will be released. Do you have any dates yet?
A: Jack Herer is available now and Chemdog will be out in the end of the year. In seed production some strains are more fertile than others. So Chemdog needed a little more research.
Q: Finally, do you any more strains or anything else in the pipeline?
A: We are working on many strains at the moment but as you understand I cannot tell anything about it.
Thanks for your time and good luck for the future!

Welcoming The Cali Connection Cannabis Seeds
We're proud to announce that we are now stockists of The Cali Connection Seeds Here's some info about the company:
The Cali Connection is a Seed Company with one intention, to supply the world with Cali's best genetics in seed form. The Connection is the umbrella for some of Cali's best breeders. These breeders from SoCal to NorCal have obtained and have been growing Cali's finest for years and look forward to providing their favourites with the rest of the world. The possibilities are endless when you have the best of the best to work with. True genetics is our mission; our meaning of true genetics is as followed. The Cali Connection's meaning of True Genetics: Our goal is to make sure that in every possible way we provide a seed that is true to the genetics of its mother and or hybrid or cross...
So for those that might question my breeding techniques, or have seen or read or heard that my techniques are good or true.. Here is what’s what so everything is on the table...keep in mind I didn’t get into breeding because I wanted to be a breeder I got into breeding because I found out some of my cuts got into the hands of probably the worst breeder to have them fall into the hands of REZDOG. Me and him were already at each others throats before he manage to finagle them...
On my SFV projects. Here is exactly how and or what’s what...
I received pollen from capt he gave me afghani#1 pollen. I then hit my SFV OG Kush clone. Thus creating f1's this was seriously 2 years ago. I will put an exact date when I go through the records and see. I made the f1's ran those and chose a good male and female to make f2's. I didn’t have too many beans to work with so I was just hoping to get lucky and I did. I then took the clone of the male I had and grew him out and made the OG Kush F2 and BX1 seeds. Once I harvested the f2's I ran about 150 of them to find what I was looking for to continue the line. The SFV OG Kush phenotype closest to the mom... I had around 50 females and 20 males to choose from. After grabbing clones and running the moms to find what I was looking for. I narrowed it down to around 10-20 ladies and I believe 1-2 males... I then vegged the clones from the perspective mother and flowered them, these f2's were pollinated by the male I chose, creating f3's. From the f1 to the f3 I spent a solid year and a half on, it also helps having a few flowering spots to work with though, not just one spot ya know. After harvesting the f3 seeds I ran again about 200 of them this time. I like to select from large lots not 20-30-even 50 seeds. I like selection. After the start of the f3's I saw a lot of uniformity in the plants once I grabbed clones from them, I flowered them thus resulting in some serious selection and culling... some were killer but to tall and lengthy, some where not to dank, some were really dank but didn’t yield, some were just right... I ended up with a serious stud male out of about 25 different dudes. And shit I don’t even know how many ladies about 50 that were what I was looking for... after harvest on them and smoke and features and this and that I ended up with 20 ladies that I was in love with.. I worked them down to the top 3... Which I am flowering out with Chemdawg and master Kush to get my smoke on with as its fire dank just like mommy but from seed. Hahahaha I love it... so my stud male hit the ladies making me an ass load of f4's. I have f4 seeds of OG Kush and BX2 seeds... I have taken me 2 years and probably 1 maybe 2 months to get here... so this isn’t no rush job and it isn’t just a quick thing like some might say... I have put some serious time and effort into making sure these babies are just like the mom and I am doing my best to represent the SFV OG Kush to its truest form via seed.
When I do my f5 I will once again start around 150-200 seeds to narrow down to the one stellar lady and dude. The f5 I make will be SFV OG Kush in seed form male female true to its mommy...
And the 3 strains that they are currently offering:

George Michael sentenced to eight weeks in jail
LONDON – George Michael was sentenced to eight weeks in jail and lost his license for five years Tuesday for driving under the influence of drugs when he crashed his car into a London photo shop.
A British judge told the wayward star his addiction to marijuana put him and the public at risk.
The former Wham! singer pleaded guilty last month to driving under the influence and possession of cannabis following a July 4 collision between his Range Rover and a Snappy Snaps store in north London.
District Judge John Perkins told the singer he had taken a "dangerous and unpredictable mix" of prescription drugs and marijuana.
"It does not appear that you took proper steps to deal with what is clearly an addiction to cannabis," the judge said. "That's a mistake which puts you and, on this occasion, the public at risk."
Perkins sentenced Michael to the prison time and a 1,250 pound ($1,930) fine during a hearing at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court.
The judge said Michael would have to serve four weeks of the sentence in prison and the rest on parole.
Michael arrived at court in a chauffeur-driven car, surrounded by four security guards and greeted by a large crowd of fans and photographers. He left with court guards who led him from the courtroom toward the cells, as one person in the public gallery sobbed.
According to police, Michael appeared "spaced out" when they found him sitting in the car, whose engine was still running, in the wee hours of July 4. He acknowledged smoking marijuana and taking a prescription sedative, prosecutors said.
It was the latest in a string of automotive and drug-related mishaps for the 47-year-old star, who has often spoken of his fondness for marijuana.
In February 2006, he was found slumped at the wheel of his car at London's busy Hyde Park Corner. That April, he hit three parked cars while trying to maneuver out of a parking space, and admitted being "a terrible driver."
In October 2006, he was found slumped over the wheel of his car as it blocked an intersection. He pleaded guilty to driving while unfit through drugs and was sentenced to community service.
Michael's lawyer, Mukul Chawla, said the singer felt "profound shame and horror" at his actions.
"It is no exaggeration to describe him as a very kind, considerate and loyal man, constantly concerned for the plight of others," Chawla said. "The prospect he could have put anyone else in danger is an appalling prospect to him."
The judge said he was sending Michael to jail "with regret," and had taken into account his guilty plea and the fact that after the crash he had checked into a clinic to seek help for anxiety, depression and insomnia.
But he said Michael's previous conviction made a prison sentence inevitable.
Michael sighed as sentence was passed. His long-term partner Kenny Goss buried his head in his hands.
Michael gained mega-stardom in his early 20s as half of Wham! and went on to a successful solo career. His first solo album, 1987's "Faith," sold 20 million copies.
In 1998, he was arrested for lewd conduct in a public toilet in Los Angeles after being spotted by an undercover police officer. Michael went on to release a single and video, "Outside," that poked fun at that arrest.
