The breeder behind Serious Seeds, Simon, is responsible for the material sold by the seed bank. He studied biology at one of the universities in Amsterdam and was always a non smoker. (Tabacco, and therefore also marihuana because in Holland it is common practice to mix the latter with tabacco and roll a joint.) He only discovered the merits of smoking pure marihuana after his study while travelling through Africa in 1986. From that moment on he started collecting seeds. Back in Holland he immediately started growing those seeds out for personal pleasure crossing what he thought were the best plants seemed a natural follow up. Contacts with other growers gave him access to different plants from which he also selected the best ones. The genetic background of this material was not always clear.Simon taught biology at a highschool when Alan Dronkers asked him to come and work at Sensi Seeds. It was quite a carreer change to do that but he never felt sorry about it. After some time working for Sensi he left and started a seed company with some American pot refugees. That year (1994) the AK-47 as well as the Chronoc won prices at the American Cannabis Cup festival in Amsterdam. That first seed company with the Americanshowever fell apart soon, and in 1995 Serious Seeds was grounded. It has always been a Serious policy to have the products grown from the different seeds available to try out in some of the best coffeeshops in Amsterdam. The "Greenhouse" is one of those coffeeshops which carries Serious' products to smoke from the start in 1995 to this date. Greenhouse coffeeshop won a Cannabis Cup in 1995 with the Kalimist grown by Serious Seeds. In 1996 another famous Amsterdam coffeeshop the "Dampkring" won the Overall Cup at that years Cannabis Cup with the newest Serious strain White Russian. Another serious shop from the early days is the Blue Bird and recently also the Dread Rock, they really sell what is listed instead of anything under an often asked for name.Serious has always been a small company, and prefers to stay like that.

Special Edition

Two legends were crossed to produce this strain. We combined our famous Warlock-father with our legendary AK-47-mother and the result gave us pure happiness!
In fact this hybrid brings happiness TWICE. First you will be happy about how easy to grow she is. Serious Happiness has the perfect hybrid-structure for indoor growing with several side branches not too close together. In flowering each branch grows a very big and dense bud with few leaves, she is easy to manicure! Her aroma and taste are sweet and fruity, sometimes a bit spicy, with a sugary aftertaste when smoked.
That is the moment when she gives pure happiness for the second time. Her effect is a longlasting buzz that combines a nice body-stoned with an incredible head-high, we felt this as pure bliss. The name Serious Happiness came up after smoking this fantastic strain, because thats exactly how the grower feels, happy while she grows and seriously happy when she is finished.
