Green House Seed Co.

Green House Seed Co. has logged more Cannabis Cup wins than any other Dutch breeder since the mid-1990s, with Arjan Roskam's name appearing on the Cup awards list every year for nearly a decade. The Strain Hunters program documented landrace collection trips through Malawi, Colombia, Nepal, and India in the late 2000s, and several of those landraces sit in current crosses. Super Lemon Haze and White Widow remain the catalogue's reference points, but the breeder also releases short-finish hybrids targeted at home growers working in tents. The Amsterdam coffeeshops give Green House an unusual position — the same flower is sold over the counter, which means feedback from end-users feeds directly back into the breeding program. The catalogue covers more than a hundred strains and is one of the only European seed banks running a true full-cycle research operation.
