Each year, we search the globe (internet) for the best new seed banks and breeders. All so that we can bring you the latest and greatest cannabis genetics, and there's more than ever from which to choose.
To make things easier for you, at Amsterdam Seed Center, we only work with the best of the best, and we've put together a list of what we think are the best new seed banks for 2023.
Before we get to that, the words seed bank and breeder get thrown around a lot. So we thought we'd clear up any differences between the two.
What is a seed bank?
A cannabis seed bank can also be a cannabis breeder, but they are not always the same. A seed bank stores and preserves the genetic diversity of plants, and a plant breeder focuses on creating new plants and breeding existing ones.
At Amsterdam Seed Center, we stock both. We have companies like Archive Genetics, which specialises in preserving genetics, and those that specialise in the latest new genetics, like The Plug Seedbank. And those that do both, such as Sensi Seeds or Royal Queen Seeds.
Best New Seed Banks 2023
Grounded Genetics
Although these guys have been around for over a decade, they are new to The Amsterdam Seed Center. We couldn't be happier to be working with Grounded Genetics. Over recent years, they have made a name for extracts and hash, placing first at the Legends of Hashish event in Amsterdam. Grounded aim at the high end of the market and experienced growers, seeds are in packs of 7 feminised and 12 regulars and priced at 99 euros. Popular Grounded Genetics stains include Z pointer 7 pack and Guava Jelly 12.
Monkey Genetics
This new seed bank of 2023 comes swinging from the tree tops. This Amsterdam-based company has come down from the trees with some of the best cannabis genetics. Mixing the best modern and classic cannabis, Monkey Genetics is a genuine reason to get excited in 2023. Strains to keep an eye on include Banana Split, Orange Sherbet Auto, Monkey Cheese, and Monkey Jack Widow Auto.
Anesia Seeds
The next on our list has caught the attention of many growers. They have released strains like Future#1 and declared it had a whopping 28% THC content, only to beat it with another of their cannabis strains, Apricot Oreoz, which has 35% THC. Anesia Seeds have quickly become known for breeding absolute fire and are easily one of Amsterdam Seed Centers' best new seed banks of 2023.
Oni Seed Co
Oni Seed Co follow their hearts and only work with the cannabis strains they like. They prefer quality over quantity and only release a few cannabis strains. All the Oni Seed Co strains at the Amsterdam Seed Center are regulars, and we couldn't recommend them enough if you're looking to breed cannabis strains for yourself.
