and their origin:

10. AK-47 - Bred by Serious Seeds Amsterdam

9. Jack Herrer - Sensi original (parent of C99 together with more sensi seeds)

8. Girl Scout Cookies
Another OG Kush crossed with 9-week flowering for indoor growing suitable genetics that mysteriously fell out of the sky.

7. Bubba Kush
The clone only is just more OG Kush x chem hype…

Some seed version is Master Kush x Bubblegum. That last one…. USA baby! Well, not really, the award winning and well known truebred Bubblegum used for many hybrids is not the original bubblegum from the US but the “work” from T.H. Seeds in Amsterdam, their first contribution to the industry in 1993.

“All of our breeding is carried out in the United States. However, selectors and breeders have travelled the world extensively for the selection of stock, including Asia, Africa and Europe.” Love those European landraces…

6. White Widow - standard in dutch coffeeshops, created by an old school breeder in my area, bred into stable seed form by several dutch breeders, blatantly pollen chucked by many others across the globe, including the Netherlands itself.

5. Grand Daddy Purple
I don’t know, which means it’s from the US :) Varying names. But also, Purple Urkle x Sensi’s Big Bud = gdp

4. Green Crack
“random cross” aka pollen chuck of Skunk #1 and another indica…

3. OG Kush - Typical over the top US hype. Various ‘cuts’.
Includes more bag seed x kush from mysterious origin

2. Sour Diesel
(US hermie chemdawg x (Sensi Superskunk and Sensi NL)) x hermie from hawaiian x skunk/nl

1. Blue Dream
Clone only of pollen chuck of DJ Short’s Blueberry x Mr Nice .nl Super Silver Haze (which in turn is based on sensi gear)

11. - 100. Primarily more pollen chucks and S1 and backcrosses of the above and other dutch strains, and especially a whole lot of hype.
Just 'a' top 10 from a large site, could have picked any, or Spain instead...

There’s no such thing as a clone-only "strain". It's a result of losing both original parents and using unstable lines, of not actually breeding, but pollen chucking.

You looking for a fight Dutchy!? This red blooded American will throw down over any insults to my great country's breeders. Yeah, didn't think so.

Just kidding. You are a bit over done with upping Amsterdam or Europe in general and downing the US, but I get your point. Other countries out there with good contributions to the genetics of cannabis, fair enough.

Canada used to be a weed mecca too, it isn't anymore and hasn't been for a while. The title shifts back and forth. No reason to live in the past when the weeds only getting better in the present/future.

My beloved Canada will take the title back some day :) I know we got the great growers here. Folks just need to be able to work openly outside the province of BC and we'll have a cannabis boom again.

Looks like a pretty up n up list for 2014. Even though i cant believe that some of that crap is still on there. I have yet to try a bubba kush that i really liked i just got rid of ak because it had almost no smell. And really....when is white widow going to just die?

As I said before, Blue Dream does NOT have Super Silver Haze in it. The haze in blue dream is Original Santa Cruz Haze, both the original Haze AND the original Blue Dream were bred in my town, I know what I'm talking about. I don't know where you got that it was SSH, but that info just aint correct. SSH is a descendant of the original SC Haze (Haze was developed by the Haze Brothers in Santa Cruz, brought to Europe by Neville, and then used by Sensi to Create SSH).

AK with no smell? try Pure AK from female seeds. Shit will stink out a block if you find the same phenos I had. Shit wreaked.

So tell me where did Big Bud, Skunk #1, G13, Northern Lights, Strawberry Cough, Bubble Gum, ETC., ETC. come from? Now I will admit the west coast has gone full retard on names and hype they just got so many clone only's my money says I got one that if I put a cool name on it would be the next big thing. lol

Sensi Seeds did not create or even have SSH and I doubt Blue Dream has that much Haze in it I've seen it grown and it has a short flower time unlike Neville's Haze which is not even pure but goes 16 weeks.

why are you trying to convince everyone that Dutch Genetics are the way to go? Why do you feel the need to knock US Genetics? US hype this and pollen chuck that.... we get it, you love Dutch strains and you rep where you live... no harm it that but you're coming on pretty strong...

Most of the good Dutch genetics come from the USA some from Canada Dutch breeders would be working with landrace crap if they didn't get so many good genetics from the states which makes them pretty good.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but pretty sure none of those are like they were in the beginning, before moms and dads were lost.
G13 was government so who knows what they have or dont have.
