DNA Genetics
DNA Genetics was founded in 2003 by two Los Angeles breeders, known publicly as Don and Aaron, who relocated their cuts to Amsterdam after the medical cannabis crackdowns of the early 2000s. The catalogue is anchored by the LA Confidential and Chocolope working lines, both of which placed at the High Times Cannabis Cup within five years of release. DNA built a reputation for taking American clone-only cuts, selfing them into stable seed lines, and releasing them through the European market — Kosher Kush is the best-known example. The brand operates two sub-labels, Reserva Privada for limited regular-seed work and Crockett Family Farms for the Tangie genetics, and the Cup wins from those imprints contribute to a combined catalogue tally that runs into the low hundreds. For US growers the DNA seed line is often the closest commercially available substitute for cuts that never legally left California.
