Developing ideas for new cannabis seeds keeps the Amsterdam Genetics seed bank a top choice for weed growers worldwide. Every growing season, cultivators can look forward to new and exciting cannabis seeds to plant at home.

New cannabis seeds don’t just appear out of thin air! Developing new strains is a process that takes some thought, strategy, and creativity. The research team at Amsterdam Genetics excels in these areas to keep our seed bank stocked with cannabis seeds you won’t find anywhere else.

Here’s some insight into how we come up with ideas for our newest cannabis seeds.

Inspired by Our top Strains

In the world of cannabis, a winning recipe never gets old! It’s why classic strains like OG Kush and Sour Diesel have existed for so long. Chocolate is one of the defining flavours of Amsterdam. Our White Choco strain is known in the cannabis-growing community as the official ‘Taste of Amsterdam.’ The success of it makes it a reliable partner for crossbreeding new cannabis strains to maintain the iconic ‘chocolate’ taste.

White Choco is the parent strain for many of the best strains in our ‘choco-dominant’ cannabis seed category, including Chocolato and Kosher Choco Kush. To meet the demand for growers seeking this defining Amsterdam taste, we continue to develop new cannabis strains with similar flavour profiles.

Search for top-quality cannabis genetics worldwide

Dutch cannabis developed industry-leading genetics throughout history with the early arrival of new cannabis strains in The Netherlands. The search for the best cannabis genetics continues today to help Amsterdam Genetics come up with ideas for new cannabis strains.

Cannabis cultivation in California has also led to the development of top-tier cannabis genetics. Amsterdam Genetics developed a Homegrown collection featuring cannabis strains that combine Dutch and California genetics. We get new ideas for new cannabis seeds by researching trendy, popular, and classic California-based strains to crossbreed with signature Dutch cannabis strains. This strategy helped create our popular Fatkid’s Cake (made with Girl Scout cookies and Cherry Pie strains) and the Dutch Duchess strain (made with Tahoe OG and OG Kush strains).

Experimenting with new ideas

Developing new cannabis seeds isn’t an exact science. Crossbreeding strains can yield unpredictable results. Also, usual genetic combinations can lead to surprisingly pleasant results. Experimenting is one of the best parts of developing new cannabis seeds.

Experimenting with new strain ideas creates unique flavour combinations, one-of-a-kind effects, and even more resilient plants to adapt to different growing conditions.

Following industry trends

Staying on top of industry trends keeps Amsterdam Genetics one of the leading online cannabis seed banks. The cannabis industry has evolved to include much more than THC-rich strains. CBD has surged in recent years and Amsterdam Genetics has remained at the forefront of it. More users are using CBD for its medicinal benefits. It’s also less regulated worldwide compared to THC products, so they’re more widely available to the public.

The CBD trend helped inspire the Blue Monkey cannabis seed. In addition to new cannabis seeds, Amsterdam Genetics has also expanded its product line to include several other CBD-based products, including handmade hemp oil soaps and CBD edibles sourced from our award-winning partners at SupMedi.

Striving to improve the weed-growing experience

Our ideas for new cannabis seeds are developed with the cultivation experience in mind. Cannabis cultivation is easier than ever with access to information on how to grow weed at home and user-friendly equipment to get anyone started on the cannabis growing journey. Developing autoflower strains is one approach we use to create new cannabis seeds. Autoflower strains don’t require changing the light schedule to enter the flowering stage. These seeds are great for beginners and outdoor growers in areas with shorter seasons.

Our seed bank features many of our popular strains re-engineered with autoflower genetics. We achieve this new type of cannabis seeds by crossbreeding top strains with cannabis ruderalis, which contains autoflowering traits. This technique was used to develop the White Choco Autoflower (White Choco and Ruderalis).

Ideas based on our research

Documenting the cannabis grow journey is essential for successful cultivation. Amsterdam Genetics has amassed 40+ years of notes about the cannabis plant growth cycle, harvest quality, what went wrong, and what went right. We rely on this research archive to improve crossbreeding when developing new cannabis seeds.

Notes about cannabis plants provide insight into how other strains with similar genetics will perform. Since crossbreeding takes multiple iterations to get the desired genetics, notes help keep us on track when developing new cannabis seeds.
