Philosopher Seeds is a seed company which was started by a group of experienced breeders and growers in 2008. These growers got together to share their experience and create a company which truly pushed the boundaries of cannabis breeding. They thrive on creating new and exciting strains as well as giving older, less popular strains a little bit of a twist and a kick. They never let a good strain go to waste. They also have a Test Line which is something that few companies do.
Philosopher Seeds cares so much about what their customers think that they allow their customers to test non-marketed strains and give their feedback. This truly takes customer service to a new level with their almost bespoke strains. Philosopher Seeds simply want to make a difference in the cannabis world by crossing old favourites into something new and unique that the cannabis community can really get excited about. They have also done a number of coalitions with other breeding companies on order to really make some strides. Philosopher Seeds strains come in a number of forms including the much loved feminised variety.
Feminised seeds have been immensely popular since they were first released by the Dutch Passion Seed Company. They make life much easier for growers who have no interest in breeding. They accomplish this by only growing into female plants. For growers who do not wish to breed their own crops male plants are worse than useless. They are a waste of time, space and money which could be better spent on the female plants. Since the males can harm the females in the crop they need to be removed before the flowering process. This means that half of the seeds that the grower paid for are being wasted. 80% of strains which have been feminised have shown marked levels of improvement in both their quality and their stability. For experienced breeders feminised seeds are still an option. If properly stressed the female plant emits a pollen very similar to that of the male plant. This pollen can then be used to fertilise another female plant. The resulting seeds will only contain female genetic material and thus will only grow into female plants.
Philosopher Seeds has a wonderful and extremely useful website where they list information about the company, all of the strains available and have an excellent blog. They really are the leading company where customer care is concerned.
