Humboldt Seed Company Debuts First High-Potency Triploid Cannabis Seeds

Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), one of the largest licensed cannabis seed seller in California releases its OG Kush Triploid and Donutz Triploid cannabis seeds to the U.S. market.

“This seed release has been a long time coming,” said Benjamin Lind, co-founder and chief science officer of Humboldt Seed Company. “It’s been over five years since we discovered a naturally occurring triploid during a phenotype hunt in Grass Valley, California. After extensive, large-scale field trials with leading, licensed California farms and our collaboration with Richard Philbrook, a molecular biologist at Dark Heart Labs, we are excited to release stable, high-THC triploid seeds.”

These cutting-edge strains were created to simplify home growing and provide a solution for commercial cultivators to remain competitive in an ever-changing market.

• OG Kush Triploid: An upgraded classic. Sparkly, bright green, tennis ball-sized buds. THC 30-34%.
  
• Donutz Triploid: A modern stunner. Beautiful, frosty, indoor-style buds. THC 30-35%.

Triploids possess three copies of chromosomes instead of the usual two and are 99% seedless thanks to natural breeding techniques and selective pressures. HSC triploids are not genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This alteration in chromosome number

allows for enhanced characteristics and maintains genetic integrity.

“Triploid technology has revolutionized fruit production worldwide, notably in seedless watermelons and grape

s—now it’s coming to cannabis,” said Ed Rosenthal, cannabis horticulture expert. “I had a chance to compare the triploid and diploid plants at the Humboldt Seed Company 2023 phenotype hunt. The triploi ds appeared more vigorous, had larger buds and higher trichome density, increasing the value for both the consumer and farmer.”
