Strain Hunters
Strain Hunters: Rare Seeds Collected Worldwide
The Strain Hunters Seed Bank began in 2013 in Amsterdam as part of the Green House Seed Company. The idea was to gather rare cannabis strains from across the world and make them available to growers. Over time, the focus has been on feminized seeds, autoflowering hybrids, and landraces that you usually do not see for sale. Many of these genetics came from trips through Africa, Jamaica, Latin America, and Vietnam.

Works Well For: Growers who want access to genetics collected in the field rather than only from labs
The people behind it are Arjan, Simon, and the late Franco Loja, who filmed several documentaries while traveling to find these plants. Their goal has always been to secure strains before they disappear and to share them with growers worldwide. The project is tied closely to Green House Seeds, which itself has been around since 1995.

If you have been looking at different seed banks, you might have come across the Strain Hunters cannabis seeds at Cannapot. They have kind of a cool backstory. The people behind it actually spent years traveling around the world, collecting landrace strains, and making sure those old-school genetics did not just disappear. So when you grow something from Strain Hunters, it feels a bit like you are working with pieces of history mixed with modern breeding. That is one way to look at it. Another way is simple: they make seeds that are fun to grow, with some unique crosses, and you can find them all in one place at Cannapot.
Why people go for Strain Hunters
Part of the appeal is the adventure behind it. They did not just sit in a lab. They went into mountains, valleys, little hidden farms in faraway places, and collected seeds directly. That gave them strains that carry those old genetics, and you can still see that in the plants today. Also, they make seeds that are not too complicated for the average grower. You have feminized, you have autoflowering, and a few are outdoor friendly. Some people are pros, some are not, and Strain Hunters has something that works either way.
A closer look at the strains on Cannapot
Afgooey: This one is Afghan crossed with Maui Haze. It is sticky, heavy with resin, and has that mix of earthy Afghan with a sweet haze twist. People often describe it as strong in smell and balanced in the effect. Not too much in the head, not too much in the body. Somewhere in between.
Big Tooth is Afghan, Hawaiian Sativa, and Nepalese all together. That gives it a spicy wood taste with some fruity notes hiding behind it. It tends to grow wide and bushy, with a lot of side branches. It can handle different conditions too, which makes it a safe pick for many.
Caboose: Trainwreck meets Salmon Creek Big Bud here. The buds are really dense, and the plant stays compact. Smell is strong, a skunky sort of sweetness. Yields are heavy compared to the size, which is why indoor growers like it.
Damnesia: A.M.S. crossed with Amnesia Haze gives you Damnesia. The name makes sense. The flavor leans citrus and wood with some floral hints. It grows tall and stretches out, so you might need to tie it or support it during flowering. People say it feels more uplifting than heavy.
Flowerbomb Kush: This one won a Cannabis Cup back in 2012. It is Green Crack and OG Kush together. Plants are medium in size with rock-solid buds. The taste is Kush earthiness with some fruit layered in. It is one of those strains that has a bit of history attached to it, so collectors like it too.
Money Maker is based on a Master Kush type. Small, sturdy plants, broad leaves. Works really well indoors. The name says a lot about it: people like it because it usually delivers without much hassle. Flavor is spicy, earthy, a little sweet.
Skunk Automatic: a classic Skunk but automatic. It stays small, goes from seed to harvest quickly, and has that unmistakable skunky smell. Outdoor growers like this one when they need something compact and not too slow.
White Lemon: this is El Nino crossed with Super Lemon Haze. So yes, it tastes lemony, citrus with a little spice in the background. Grows fast, pretty balanced plant, and not difficult for most people to handle.
White Strawberry Skunk: Strawberry crossed with El Nino. The smell is unique. Sweet like fruit but still clearly skunky underneath. Buds look colorful too, which makes it kind of eye-catching.
Growing notes
A few things people often say when growing these seeds:
- Training like topping or low stress training can help, since many of the plants branch out a lot.
- The smell can get strong. If you grow indoors, think about filters or some airflow.
- Some strains are good outdoors. Skunk Auto feminized is an easy pick there, and some of the others manage fine too.
- You might see slight differences plant to plant, especially with the landrace genetics. That is normal and can actually be fun.

When people order Strain Hunters seeds from Cannapot, the feedback is usually about how reliable the process is. The seeds come in discreet packaging. They are authentic because Cannapot works directly with the breeders.
