Paradise Seeds: Amsterdam Breeders Since 1994

Paradise Seeds sits in a strange spot: everyone in Dutch growing knows the name, and hardly anyone can tell you where it came from. Worth fixing, because the backstory explains why the old strains still behave the way the seed pack says they will. Below is the history, the track record, and a plain read on which strain suits which tent, all of it sitting inside our wider cannabis seeds range.

Luc Krol Got Fed Up With Bad Imported Weed

Paradise Seeds started in 1994 in Amsterdam, founded by Luc Krol under the company name Paradise Phytogenetics. The date 1995 floats around online, including in our own old copy, and it's wrong. The reason he started was simple: the cannabis being imported into the Netherlands back then was weak and badly handled, so he began selecting his own plants instead. Those early selections became the strains people still ask for by name, Sensi Star, Durga Mata, Dutch Dragon, and Delahaze among them. Three decades on the breeding still runs out of Amsterdam, which is why the older lines stay stable instead of drifting with every hype cross.

Cup Wins and Growers Who Keep Reordering

If you're hunting for a Paradise Seeds review, the short version is that this catalogue has been judged in public for thirty years. Jacky White took third place in the Sativa category at the IC 420 Cup in 2009, and it's still one of the most reordered feminized strains on this shelf. The ratings our customers leave say the same thing in a quieter way: the classics get bought again by the same people, season after season. Newer work like Velvet Mist (Purple Kush x Wedding Cake) shows the breeder still chasing today's flavours rather than living off the back catalogue.

Which Paradise Seeds Strain Fits Your Tent

Short on headroom? Wappa tops out near 120cm, finishes in 55 to 65 days at 20 to 24% THC, and packs dense nugs that push a sweet fruity smell through the whole room. Chasing speed? White Berry wraps flowering in about 50 days for 400 to 500g/m², a much faster turnaround than Zesty Bliss, which runs 9 to 11 weeks and clears 120cm, so that one wants topping or a SCROG net. Jacky White gives up to 600g/m² indoors under a 600 watt HPS and fills the space with grapefruit during flowering. On the auto side, Vertigo is done in around 60 days indoors, Auto Kong 4 (a GG cutting crossed with Pandora) needs 65 to 70 days from seed, and Lemonade Auto takes 75 days from germination. Watch out with that last one: the citrus reek gets loud in late flower, so run a carbon filter if your grow is meant to stay quiet. If THC isn't the point at all, the CBD line covers it instead, with CBDream, CBDrelax, CBDelight, and Durga Mata II CBD.

Plain Packaging, On Its Way, US Orders Included

Everything leaves us in discreet packaging with nothing on the outside hinting at what's inside. Ordering from the United States? The parcel travels a lot further than an EU one, so allow more time; the packing is identical either way. If you want to try several Paradise Seeds strains in one go, the Auto Collection Packs and the Indica Champions and Sativa Champions packs bundle them together. First Paradise Seeds grow in a small tent: Wappa. Fourth grow, tall tent, net already installed: Zesty Bliss.
