Sensi Seeds

Sensi Seeds is the Amsterdam-based seed bank built by Ben Dronkers in the mid-1980s after acquiring stock from earlier Dutch and American breeding projects. The archive preserves landrace and heirloom genetics that other catalogues no longer carry, including the original Skunk #1 and Northern Lights working lines. Sensi also operates the Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum in Amsterdam and Barcelona, which doubles as a research library for the breeding team. The catalogue is one of the few in Europe still releasing regular (non-feminized) seed alongside its feminized lines, and the company has resisted the photoperiod-only feminized push that swept the rest of the Dutch industry through the 2010s. For European growers the brand functions as both a working seed bank and a de facto reference collection.

Sensi Seeds FAQ

Where can I buy Sensi Seeds genetics?
Sensi Seeds sells directly through its own catalogue and ships across most of Europe, with additional distribution through Amsterdam coffeeshops and a network of authorized international resellers. The brand is one of the few European banks still offering regular (non-feminized) seed alongside feminized lines.
Is Sensi Seeds still active?
Yes. The Amsterdam operation runs the original breeding archive, the Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum in Amsterdam and Barcelona, and an ongoing research program. The brand has been continuously active since 1985, making it one of the longest-running seed banks in Europe.
What are Sensi Seeds' most famous strains?
Northern Lights and Skunk #1 are the two flagship lines, both preserved as working IBLs that other catalogues have either lost or rebuilt. Jack Herer, Hindu Kush, and Big Bud are also long-running staples that have stayed on the menu for decades.
