Where Award-Winning Cannabis Begins: The Genetics Behind the Prizes
The quality of cannabis starts with genetics. In 2025, this was confirmed on multiple occasions, when various coffeeshops and professional growers won awards with products that all share one clear foundation: genetics from Amsterdam Genetics. During both the Jack Herer Cup Amsterdam 2025 and the Cannabis Industry Awards 2025, prizes were awarded to exclusive partners working with carefully selected Amsterdam Genetics strains.
From award-winning coffeeshop selections to professional cultivation within the regulated cannabis experiment, this recognition shows that consistent quality can always be traced back to a strong genetic foundation. These awards do not tell isolated stories. They demonstrate how Amsterdam Genetics’ genetics continue to prove themselves in practice, across different categories, product forms, and professional environments.
Jack Herer Cup 2025 – Amsterdam
The Jack Herer Cup 2025 in Amsterdam once again demonstrated where quality in the cannabis industry truly comes from. Not from coincidence, not from marketing, but from genetic foundations that prove themselves time and again, both in Amsterdam coffeeshops and in professional cultivation.
What made this edition particularly notable is that multiple winners, across different categories and at different levels of the supply chain, shared one clear common denominator: Hollandse Hoogtes, Best Grower of the cannabis experiment and partner of Amsterdam Genetics.
Jack Herer symbolizes knowledge, awareness, and respect for the plant, not only as a person, but also as a philosophy. The strain named after him became one of the most influential genetic building blocks in the modern cannabis world.
Jack Herer genetics are known for their balance, clarity, and stability, traits that are essential for both sativa-dominant effects and consistent cultivation. This is precisely why these genetics have formed the foundation for high-quality derivative strains for decades.
The Jack Herer Cup is not a hype-driven event, but a quality competition. Products and coffeeshops are judged on consistency, flavor, effect, and overall experience. Winning does not mean one strong batch, it means structural, long-term quality.
Where They Won
During the Jack Herer Cup Amsterdam 2025, multiple awards were won by the same coffeeshop, across different products, yet with one shared foundation.
This recognition goes beyond a single product. It reflects a consistent selection of high-quality cannabis, where genetic quality forms the basis of the assortment.

And Through the Cannabis Industry Awards 2025
Where the Jack Herer Cup rewards the coffeeshop experience, the Cannabis Industry Awards focus on the professional side of the sector. Cultivation quality, product development, and craftsmanship take center stage here, with special attention given to the regulated cannabis experiment. Once again, genetics proved to be the decisive factor.
As an Exclusive Partner, Hollandse Hoogtes Won
Hollandse Hoogtes, active as a grower within the cannabis experiment, works exclusively with genetics from Amsterdam Genetics. This choice is strategic: professional cultivation requires genetics that are predictable, scalable, and versatile.
In 2025, this was confirmed in an impressive way:
- Winner Wiet van het Jaar 2025

One Foundation, Multiple Awards
From coffeeshop selection to regulated cultivation, the 2025 awards show that true quality can always be traced back to the foundation. Amsterdam Genetics provides that foundation by developing genetics that not only perform today, but also tomorrow, next year, and in every form in which the plant is used.
