Centennial Seeds was founded in August 2009 by with the aim of developing and producing high quality cannabis seeds for medical purposes.The founder saw the obvious need for reliable and well researched genetics in his local area. For some time previous to starting Centennial seeds he had been breeding and perfecting his seed production methods, early on recognising the value of preserving geographically isolated ‘landrace’ strains for use as breeding parents. This led to the creation of a private cannabis seed bank with over three hundred distinct genetic lines. Centennial Seeds’s library represents a fantastic body of genetic material spanning five continents. Its value lies in the wonderful variety of chemotypical and physical characteristics that nature has designed and evolved in Cannabis sativa, from high THC strains to those rich in CBD or with distinct growth patterns, smells, leave shapes etc . The distinct characteristics are many, and all deserve research.Centennial Seeds is proud to offer cannabinoid readings for strains where possible. They believe this should give buyers a better indication as to the potential of the genetics. All development testing and results given have been produced by FSL from dried material grown in Centennial Seeds’s facilities under standardized conditions.

The Halcyon is an F1 hybrid based on an Afghan Kush female and a Colombian male. I first made this seed in late 2012. It was trialed in 2013 and is now being released.

The cross produces a vigorous, uniform F1 generation that is highly resinous and beautifully fragrant. The flowers are very potent and produce a strong effect with an unusually clear head.

The fragrance is a blend of both lines, the sweet, syrupy ‘candy’ notes of the Kush combining with the more tart and piney fragrance of the Colombian. Based on fragrance alone the cross is unique and enjoyable. Add to that the wonderfully potent character and you’ve got a winner.

As I wrote earlier I will package exactly 100 tins of this seed, 14 seeds per tin, and offer them for sale. 100% of the proceeds will go to support the Cannabis Genomic Research Initiative to support our research goals.

The work being undertaken is groundbreaking in our industry. The knowledge and the know-how that will result from this project will spawn a wave of innovation in the Cannabis industry unlike anything we’ve ever witnessed.

If you’ve taken the time to read this far and you believe in advancing the public understanding of this crop please take a second and share this article or recommend it to a friend.

Remember, 100% of the proceeds of the Halcyon will go to support the CGRI. Can I count on your support? I hope so.

Sincerely,
Ben Holmes
