Canary will also have exclusive access to Serious Seeds’ current catalog of strains, providing Canadian growers with legal access to world-class genetics.
“Serious Seeds has placed careful consideration into selecting an appropriate cannabis producer with which to share our genetics,” said Simon Smit from Serious Seeds. “Canary appealed to us because of their passionate, experienced growers, superior cultivation techniques, and our shared philosophy of quality over quantity. Serious Seeds has always been about breeding the best strains, not the most strains, and that will be our continued focus.”
Serious Seeds has earned its reputation over decades, despite significant legal and regulatory restraints.
