ROOR Seeds Amsterdam

The standard of excellence that is Roor is now being brought into another arena, the seed market.

With their new company Roor Seeds Amsterdam they hope to bring their high level of standards to the seed business. The model they have chosen is to collaborate with some of the best breeders in the world. As their main focus is on glass this puts the experts in charge of their already growing seed company.

Through years of friendship with Howard Marks and the Mr Nice seed company, it was only natural that they would be the first to collaborate on this new seed line.

Roor Seeds Amsterdam will also, in the coming year, release a special CBD strain developed for them by the CBD Crew, a breeders collective that is working on high CBD content strains.

Knowing that there are many new seed companies on the market today means that the new Roor Seed company needed to set itself apart from the beginning. The first thing that they’ve done is to adopt a collective  model. This means that they will be working with many differ- ent breeders from all over the world. Their first two col- laborations are with the CBD crew and with the Mr. Nice team. Be on the lookout for new collaborations in the future.

By collaborating with a diverse group of breeders Roor Seeds Amsterdam can offer their customers the most diverse line of seeds available. Pulling from a diverse group of breeders means that the eventual seeds on offer will have been produced from the widest possible gene pool. This means as a customer you will be able to choose from an incredibly diverse cross section of strains. This

will keep the company on the cutting edge of the seed business as they will consistently be able to refresh their lines.

In keeping with their minimalist house style the seed will be presented in one of the most elegant packing in the business. The seeds will be packaged in small glass vials that are medical grade and of the finest materials possi- ble. This will keep the seeds perfectly sealed in a mois- ture-less environment ensuring the best possible germina- tion rates. This glass vial will then be sealed in a metal container ensuring that the vial is well protected.

With the whole whats in a name story that is common in the seed business. Roor seeds Amsterdam has chosen to adopt a simple categorization process. The seeds will be divided into Indica and Sativa with a medical range com- ing later this year as well. The I line and the S line which are further divided into numbered subdivisions.

To begin with they will offer four different strains, the S1 and the I1, I2 and I3.

The S1 is a cross of the Neville’s haze and the Original Skunk. This strain is a massive yielder that does take a bit of time to ripen, up to twelve weeks, but is worth every minute.

Its taste is reminiscent of the old school Sativa’s but some of the fruitiness does come through from the Skunk aspect.  This  combination of old school flavors make for a very unique haze.

Next up are their Indica’s, these three strains are all incredibly unique and cover a broad range of indica hybrids.

The I1 is a 75% Indica and is from the Afghan side of the Indica family. It has a broad bushy leaf struc- ture and thick heavy cola’s covered in resin. Its been nick- named the Ash, as a result of its Afghan heritage.

The I1 is a 75% Indica and is from the Afghan side of the Indica family. It has a broad bushy leaf structure and thick heavy cola’s covered in resin. Its been nicknamed the Ash, as a result of its Afghan heritage.

The I2, this is a powerhouse of two amazing west coast strains, the OG Kush and the pre 98 Bubba Kush. This strain is nearly 100% Indica and packs on the yield as it was selected for production.

The I3 is also one half OG Kush while its other half is the legendary west coast Grapefruit cut. This works out to one citrusy plant. The flavor is like lime lemonade and gets more and more citrusy as you smoke the joint. Be sure to have your place well fil- tered as this one will really stink your room out. It will also more then reward you with its huge yield. This one is a real winner.

The next strain on offer is the I2, this is a powerhouse of two amazing west coast strains, the OG Kush and the pre 98 Bubba Kush. This strain is nearly 100% Indica and packs on the yield as it was selected for pro- duction. However this big yielder does not lose out when it comes to the taste side of the equation as it maintains the taste of the OG Kush, with its famous lemony zest. Its been nicknamed the Bubba OG and is usually finished around 57 days, or around 8 weeks. The I3 is also one half OG Kush while its other half is the legendary west coast Grapefruit cut. This works out to one citrusy plant. The flavor is like lime lemonade and gets more and more citrusy as you smoke the joint. Be sure to have your place well filtered as this one will really stink your room out. It will also more then reward you with its huge yield. This one is a real win- ner.

In the coming months I will be doing a test grow of some of their strains and will present the information in a photo diary with pictures of every step of the grow.

Working with their team of breeders I expect to see some amazing results. In the future their lines will evolve and coming in 2013 is the CBD strain that I mentioned. This strain will have little THC and will have between 8-10% CBD a true medical strain. It will be the first one of their M line of medical strains.
