Cannabis breeders interview:
Cees (No Mercy Supply)

What kind of test do you do to check seeds germination rates? What do you think about printing a caducity date in seed packets or at least the packing date?
 
We grow a LOT of plants to find pure xx plants, so we see for ourselves.
So no need for us, the seeds we're breeding are sold before the next are ready, but in good cool and dry places, seeds will stay ok anyway, for many years !
In your opinion, which are the best two varieties of all times?
 
The old thaisticks in the seventies and ehhhhhh...wauwwww...pffff...sputter sputter...ehhhhhh! I guess Santa Maria.
 
In your catalogue, which two are your favourites? Tell me something about them.
Valley Queen > a Everest Queen 1 that was crossed with a Silver Pearl..and ehhhhh, the Everest Queen herself. They are farder selected and by this time.. they are great, strong, healthy, fast and are giving a lot of quantity too.

Best outdoor variety?

Santa Maria / Everest Queen and the Summer Queen (Everest X Northern Light X)

Best indoor variety?

Valley Queen.
Most expensive variety (name and price)?
 
We are selling our female seed revolutionary cheap.... All female seeds are going  for 1.56 euro per seed to the growshops. Regular seeds as you see at our site cost 150 euro for 100 top selected seeds.
 
Cheapest variety (name and price)?
 
All our prices are the same.
 
How do you see the cannabis future?
The World is getting higher and higher, so where will it go ? Here in Holland, there's no way back! I guess that in 10 or 15 years people will more and more say : "It's just a plant man."
 

What do you think about all the new seed banks that are appearing?

 
Give them a chance, why not ? We don't like monopole positions, do we ?
 
Is there a limit in cannabis varieties improvement?
 
No evolution is going on, the plant is forming fast to conditions, so..I guess we're not at the end, not at all !
 
Tell spanish growers some good advice.
 
Wauwwwwwwwww! Like this one >>> DON’T give them that much water!<<<
Better 3x a day a little as 1x a lot. 90% from the growers give them TOO much water...
