Humboldt Seed Company and Marley Family Unite for Cannabis Innovation
In a momentous collaboration, Humboldt Seed Company (HSC) has announced the launch of two new cannabis seed strains,
Redemption and
One Love, in partnership with the Marley family. This release is not just about cannabis; it’s a tribute to the legendary Bob Marley’s spirit and his profound cultural influence.
A Tribute to a Legend
With roots in California, Humboldt Seed Company stands as the state’s largest licensed provider of cannabis seeds. The partnership with the Marley family aims to honor Bob Marley's legacy of unity and resilience. The new strains embody the essence of ancient Jamaican heirloom varieties, retrofitted for the modern cannabis market. As Benjamin Lind, co-founder and chief science officer of HSC, expressed, these seeds serve as a time capsule reflecting Bob's historical ties to cannabis.
Crafting Unique Cultivars
The seeds of both
Redemption and
One Love were meticulously crafted through a collaborative effort with the Rasta community and Dr. Machel Emanuel, a botanist from the University of the West Indies in Jamaica. This unique development process contributes to the exceptional qualities of each cultivar, allowing it to stand out in the expansive HSC catalog.
Redemption
Redemption is an Indica-dominant strain coming from the esteemed genetics of Lamb's Bread, SFV OG, and Don Carlos. Users can expect calming, euphoric effects complemented by herbal aromas and a complex flavor profile featuring notes of pine, citrus, and a hint of sour fuel.
One Love
On the other hand,
One Love is designed to uplift and energize, leaning towards Sativa with its genetics sourced from Westmoreland Pineapple, Stoopid Fruits, and Mango Sherbert. This strain delights the senses with a vibrant pineapple and mango flavor, layered with sweet candy undertones.
Both strains promise excellent yields, with fresh frozen extraction returns averaging over 3%. This impressive outcome showcases the potential of these collaborations and cultivations.
Honoring Bob Marley's Legacy
Cedella Marley, CEO of the Bob Marley Group of Companies and Bob's daughter, highlighted the significance of the new strains, stating, "This has been a long time coming. The HSC team has worked diligently since their first breeding project in Jamaica in 2017 to perfect these varietals." Her commitment to preserving her father’s legacy resonates through this venture, reaffirming the deep connections between community and cannabis.
Founded in 2001, Humboldt Seed Company continues to prioritize quality cannabis genetics, promoting both environmental sustainability and social justice in its practices. The brand reaches various localities, including states across the U.S. and international markets such as Europe, Jamaica, and Canada.
