Humboldt Seed Company (HSC) was founded in 2001 by biologists in Humboldt County, California breeding initially for patients under the state’s Prop. 215 Medical Marijuana Initiative. Since its inception, HSC has evolved to create top tier cannabis seeds for the recreational market, providing seeds to both commercial and home growers. HSC conducts unprecedented phenotype hunts that take place annually feeding a scientific approach to feminized, regular and autoflower seed breeding that’s vetted by California’s best cannabis farmers. As the largest licensed cannabis seed provider in California, we’ve remained committed to our roots in environmental and social justice, serving our community for over 20 years. Our seeds are available in multiple U.S. states and in Europe, Canada, Jamaica, South Africa, Colombia, the UK and most recently Thailand.

The phenotype I had hated being trained and mainlined because the stems grew so sturdy already that any small adjustment would crack the outside of the stem. That being said, even though I cracked the stems SEVERAL times and some fully snapped all the way and the plant made a full recovery every single time and grew some insanely fat top colas. The smell of this is unbelievable. its like fruity juice and bubble gum combined. Smallish yield but it was a small plant so its expected. I would run it again for the smells alone.

Chopped on Oct 2nd. 190 Grams of bud 150 shake and smalls 6.7 oz total harvested weight. Grown in shaded spot for majority of day 73 days of flower. Pretty big stretcher. This grow was not given much effort. Next year will be going for some larger plants and better cannopy structures. Did get some mold spots”budrott” due to humidity at last few weeks of flower but nothing to bad overall.

A 10, without a doubt. In overall it is a spectacular plant, very attractive in sight. Quiet growth but once you change to bloom ... everything changes, is when its development takes off. Her flowers are spectacular and super resinous. I love the aroma and I am looking forward to discover their flavor. Despite my little mistake in her flowering feeding, this strain has potential to give generous yields. After smoke report, I give a final review of 9,6 .

Very sweet smell with a hint of blueberries. This strain doesn't need much fertilizer and you have to pay attention to the stretch.

See week 8 for harvest of pineapple upside down cake. I already tried this one. Wasn't potent at all. May be the grower, not the strain, however, it produced a lot.

This plant had made me reconsider growing photoperiods more. The scent was heavenly from about the second week of flowering until finished. Branched out very well. Should have used the trellis, maybe would have gotten bigger buds, but they came out frosty, and smelling sweet. Can't wait to try this one for sure.

Humboldt Sour Diesel Autoflower
Growing it
Easy
Resistance

My first seed was a three-leaf whorled phyllotaxy weirdo. I didn't expect much from this particular pheno, but it was very quick to gain plant mass and leaf surface. I fed it 100-105% recommended, which was evidently a bit too much, but I continued doing it for my own research reasons. I delayed topping any any HS canopy management as long as I could to give it as long a head start as I could, because for autos early gains are exponential, as are losses, if stressed too much too soon, thus I decided to do a major de-branching and canopy shaping when she showed early signs of flowering. Smell was weak to medium throughout. I think there is some sour and some diesel, especially mid flower, but overall I am not a big fan of using bright smell references to describe complex nuances of cannabis plant aroma. Have not cured yet. All in all, she survived like a champ excess nutes, excess UV and a hardcore one-time defoliation, to produce a lot of dense, solid and chunky buds. Late flower foxtailing became pronounced on most buds, but by no means are the tails fluffy or light. They are as dense as the core bud itself.

Since I'm no expert, I understand growth can always be better which obviously effects the end product and flavor. With that said, buds are dense and are just coated with trichomes! The aroma has an earthy-fuel profile with hints of berries on some of the phenos. Unfortunately, I still don't get any garlic-GMO flavors, but I think this is due to my inexperience as a grower. This is the second time growing these genetics and I can taste the difference between seed and clone cycles. But this could also be due to the difference in growth health as well. Regardless, I've enjoyed growing these genetics and will continue to keep mother plants alive for future grow cycles.

My only draw back is that only 1 seed of three germinated. One rotted and the other was a dud. The other issues I had were due to nutes and substrate, not the plant itself. Super bushy genetics, looks to be a high yield for a first time harvest.

Good strain, I think they mention on the site that its not as stable as their older strains. I did get some variation, but found a very nice example of cali octane in just 2 seeds. Extremely potent, gassy with a hint of something sweet. Vigorous hybrid that will keep you busy with training/defoliation if indoors.

Pretty good strain, smells good and produces. Although will probably stick with Blueberry for my BB kick. I still 4 seeds so will do another round, buds are nice and sticky so could be a really good hash plant.

Blueberry Pancakes

The Blueberry Pancake was a medium-height plant with significant internodal spacing and golf ball-like buds. Exceptionally resinous, it carried a beautiful, sweet blueberry aroma with a slightly sour finish. The smoke was flavorful, with the blueberry notes even more pronounced. It's not an overly potent strain, offering a creative and light high that’s perfect for daytime use or when you want to stay productive. An excellent choice for those seeking a delicious and mellow experience!

This is the second time I have ran this strain , The bud structure was almost identical to the last one. I was surprised about the size of the plant, compared to the last time I ran this strain. overall I was a little disappointed in the plants size but not the stain itself.

Variedad muy resistente y con mucho vigor desde su crecimiento. Era una planta que mantuve en otro armario de cultivo secundario, y que sustituyó a la Exodus Cheese cuando decidí sacarla del armario principal debido a su tamaño y fenotipo sativa. El aroma es muy fuerte y penetrante, a hierba clásica tipo skunk con un toque afrutado. Creció poco en altura, 60 cm, pero es realmente potente y productiva.

Mango Sherbert

Decided to cull all 4 Mango Sherbets at the end of week 6 veg. All four of these plants had strange growth since day one that I didn't like. I wanted to give these girls a chance so I grew them out hoping for the best. As each new week went by I would notice some deformed growth and variegation on the leaves here and there. When I got deeper into veg leaves started to overlap and branches were growing out to lateral for my liking. There is several reasons as to why they could have been exhibiting some of these traits, but I feared they could be infected with pathogens. So i decided to destroy these plants to avoid contamination.

Amazing to grow. Great structure, really vigorous, strong and healthy plant that basically grows itself. Her predicted Flowering time is 9 weeks, I think she needs atleast 10. Pungent and Strong aromas that are sweet diesel and pine. Daytime smoke. Leaves you energetic. Nice genetic!
