Atlas Seed breeds and produces agronomically oriented day-neutral, semi-full term, and full term cannabis and hemp varieties for the global production market, focusing primarily on highest yields, mold resistance, and potency. Cannabis Bred for Agriculture.
Founded by seasoned winegrape, vegetable, and cannabis farmers in Sonoma County, California that were searching for genetics that didn’t yet exist: uniform, stable, & vigorous hybrids that would fit into their existing, time tested agricultural model.
We were some of the first operators to bring cannabis out of the preexisting cultivation methods developed under prohibition and into conventional agricultural production systems. We have consistently innovated cannabis agriculture; testing all manner of production systems in the field and inventing novel equipment, labor processes, and practices. Our expertise affords us the knowledge of what genetic qualities lead to high performance and post-harvest efficiencies, allowing us to make novel breeding selections that set our genetics apart in the industry.
Seed is the most common and cost effective way to propagate annual crops. It is the standard in agriculture. In the cannabis space, seed has been notoriously inconsistent and at times downright unreliable, and so the industry has leaned heavily on cloning to achieve repeatable results. However, cloning is expensive, inefficient, and has been a major contributor to the transmission of pest and disease throughout the industry. At Atlas, our mission is to breed for uniformity and high performance, produce elite genetics, and to standardize seed in the industry.
All of our parent lines have been initially selected for field performance and repeatedly inbred to lock in the desired traits and isolate genetic markers associated with them. They are then outcrossed judiciously to produce industry-leading, elite seed lots that are as close to true F1s as are available to cultivators anywhere. Each line undergoes extensive trialing on our own licensed farm, so growers know we literally stand behind everything we produce
