STRAIN HUNTERS

Our planet is home to millions of species of animal and plants with their own habitat, and each plays a unique role in the perfect design of nature. Unfortunately many species of plants and animals are victim of uncontrolled human development. Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilization all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threath of extinction. Besides the threath posed by human development, one of the goals of the United Nations, published years ago in official reports, was to wipe out the cannabis plant from the face of the earth by the year 2010. In reality this is far from being achieved, because man keeps using the cannabis plant for religious, medicinal and recreational purposes no matter what the law says. Most cultures cannot comprehend how a plant can be made illegal. In most people’s perception, plants and animals stand above a status of legality or illegality, they just exist in a higher design of nature that goes beyond human laws and regulations. Nevertheless most governments of cannabis-producing countries are implementing drastic measures to destroy crops. Dangerous chemicals are sprayed over fields and over the farmers themselves in most of the third world countries, and the poorest people of the planet are the ones paying the highest price for cultivating a plant that does not kill. But in the economy of scale, where demand dictates supply, the poorest people of the planet have no choice but to cultivate cannabis as a cash crop to feed their children and send them to school. Communities that are isolated in remotes areas in the poorest regions of the planet are often the keepers of very special landraces.
The worldwide prosecution on the cannabis plant generates the need to go hunting for the real landraces that are left in the most remote corners of the planet.
These strains, isolated for decades and sometimes for centuries, costantly inbreeding, are at the origin of all the thousands of variations that we know today in the cannabis industry. In these landraces there are hundreds, maybe thousands of unique cannabinoid profiles that have never been evaluated by the pharmaceutical industry; nevertheless they could be of enormous help in the future, when the knowledge about the medicinal properties of the cannabis plant will advance further. One of these cannabinoid profiles could be hiding the next miracle drug for the treatment of very serious diseases. The concept of strain hunters stems from the need to preserve nature’s gifts to man, in a quest for a better future.
Being a strain hunter is a personal challenge, a passion, and a way of life. Strain hunting is a very delicate task, one that involves social skills, a travelling-oriented mindframe and a pinch of crazy. Besides being physically fit, the strain hunter has to speak several languages, be able to blend and socialize in different environments, and has to be willing to commit to a lifestyle on the fast-lane. From the jungles of Africa and Asia to the mountain ranges of South America, the strain hunters are on a mission to bring back the most important and isolated cannabis landraces known to man. The logistical challenges involved in strain-hunting are quite considerable, but Arjan, owner and founder of the Green House empire, has been devoting a great deal passion, time and resources to this task. After two decades spent strain hunting for the breeding programs of the Green House Seed Company, it is now time to show the world what the hunt is all about. Strain Hunters is a brand new series of documentaries, real-life reports of the search for the greatest lost cannabis strains, a deep insight in the typical “day at the office” of the most successful seed makers in the world.

The trailer (sneak preview) of the first STRAIN HUNTERS documentary is gonna be up on youtube pretty soon, Jack is already busy with it, and nothing, not even I, can stop him.


So, here is a sneak-preview of the sneak-preview guys.....

why make feminized seeds lol...it was a great read franco but dont you think you should practice it...feminized genetics are the down fall to the cannabis gene pool in my humble opinion...but i agree with all that you have said. peace

I want to work with you. Is there not a job for me at GreenHouse ? I'm brave guy...

good job man ! and from where come those pictures ? Africa ? Australia, New Guinea ?

[franco.gh]

Mama Africa man
;-)

[tom&dan]

That looks like a good job, & oh my god look at those plants, u boys r legends

Strain Hunters ....Hunt this.......

Talamanca Mountains......
during the last 20 months 3.6 million plants have been destroyed......

during the last ´´round´´ , 36 plantations that covered 26.000 m2 and a total of 800.000 plants where destroyed , 1 native ´´suspect´´ was detained at the plantation with 10k of seeds that the police ´´retained..´´



The landrace has been kept pure by the indians.. a REAL sativa..
It may not be as potent due to inadecuate drying ... someone needs to help them indians and show teach them the green thumb , couse they got the green spirit already...

La cultivada en Colombia contiene hasta un 10% de THC y más del 14% la cosechada en Jamaica. En cambio, la c.r tiene un 3% de THC.

También se comercializa, aunque menos, la marihuana hidropónica, conocida por los adictos como “kreepy”, hasta con el 20% de THC.

...local newspapers claim the landrace to have 3-5% of THC , while colombian has 7-10% and jamaican 10-13%....

they also talk about the hydro 20+%thc called ´´kreepy´´ .....

apparently , colombian narc´s like to trade with these indians ..
to add volume to the already shitty weed the export the most...

....no strain trading , no actual help , plain using the indians and theyr work ....

they give ...
50lbs , for a ´´meal pack´´ with tuna cans , rice bags , sugar , salt , coffe , etc...
40lbs for 1 shotgun ... + 20 lbs for the ammo
10lbs for 24 batterys ... even 5 lbs for some ´´machetes´´

again the newspaper quote....

Así, por ejemplo, por 50 libras de hierba entregan a los nativos un diario que incluye dos bolsas de arroz, cuatro paquetes de azúcar, dos bolsas de café, cinco bolsas de sal y tres paquetes de macarrones.

También incluyen sopas, atún, leche en polvo y consomé. Por 40 libras de esa planta les entregan una escopeta (que usan para cacería) y por 20 libras les suministran 10 cajas de municiones

Si quieren dos machetes, deben llevar cinco libras y si desean 24 baterías...

Hope u ´´strain hunters´´ find this ´´good´´reading .....
