Archive Seedbank

From state-of-the-art growing, testing, and hunting at a large scale to producing high-end extractions in the solventless market and premium herbal material, as well as operating a clone nursery out of Portland, Oregon, they help to ensure only the utmost quality products in the country are starting to emerge from the Pacific Northwest. A prime example of this high quality can be found in the genetics company Archive Seeds. 

Archive is the region’s leader in premiere strains that exhibit exquisite traits with unique aromas, tastes, and effects. The founder of Archive Seeds, known as The Docta, started in 2011 and has since developed a fantastic array of rare and sought-after strains.

One of Archive Seed Banks' staples is the legendary old-school funk The Face Off OG, which he has used in countless hybrids. It is an extraordinary original OG Kush hybrid; it's clear why it has been used in so many hybrids.

The genetics behind Face Off OG is that they got some seeds from Tha Real OG Kush Man in 2005 when he lived in Seattle before moving back to Los Angeles. He also gave them a bunch of Pure Kush, Poison OG, and more seeds. But that Face Off Number 4 they got had the most unique, long-lasting mouth-coating OG flavours of any of the seeds they popped.

It also carried the undeniably strong potency that the original Face-Off was renowned for. As a result, Archive kept that going, and it quickly became a favourite. Describing it as skull-crushing with a unique flavour, the totality of this led many to turn green and almost feel nauseous down to the potency; heavy therapeutic relief can be found with this elite hybrid, and that's why Archive uses her in so many crosses.

Face Off OG features dense, resinous buds with an intense aroma that combines earthy pine and citrus notes. Its flavour is robust, offering a mix of herbal and citrusy undertones that linger on the palate.

Founded with a mission to preserve and share rare cannabis strains, Archive Seed Bank has consistently pushed the boundaries of cannabis breeding. Among their notable strains and creations are Moonbow, Dosidos, Face Off OG, Planet Purple, and Rainbow Beltz, each contributing uniquely to their esteemed reputation.

Fletcher of Archive Seed Bank has also held other elite cuts, such as the DogShit, for decades. DogShit is an old Seattle sativa strain. They had our Poochie Love hybrid tested at 22 per cent THC at one point from Steep Hill’s Seattle lab—and that was with seeds in it! Their newer hybrids easily sail way past this, however.

Archive Seed Bank was founded by a passionate cannabis breeder with a vision to protect and increase rare genetics. Over the years, Archive has gone from strength to strength, winning prestigious awards and becoming a go-to source for high-quality cannabis seeds. Their philosophy centres around preserving the diversity of cannabis strains while continually innovating to create new and exciting varieties.

Moonbow, a staple strain that has recently proven an instrumental breeding tool by Archive Seed Bank, has taken its genetic prowess to new heights. It is a cross between the famous Zkittlez and Do-Si-Dos, combining the best traits of both parent strains.

The meticulous breeding process behind Moonbow reflects Archive Seed Bank's commitment to excellence. The latest version of the Moobow is the Moonbow 112 IX, which some covet as the pinnacle of modern breeding; this hugely worked line is the pairing of Moobow ##12 F1 x Moobow #112 F2 #60, taking this back another generation further into the line

Moonbow is celebrated for its vibrant appearance, featuring dense buds with a kaleidoscope of colours. Moonbow has a robust terp profile is a delightful blend of sweet, fruity, and funky notes reminiscent of its Zkittlez parent. The flavor profile is equally enchanting, offering a sugary sweetness with subtle hints of earthiness. The Moobow 112 IX is the closest thing to the true Moonbow #112 clone-only variety, packed with blackberry and blackcurrant alongside that incredible zingy lime zkittlez terp found in some of their strains—lots of sticky resin phenos, with some that are suitable for washing.

Dosidos, another flagship strain from Archive Seed Bank, is a hybrid of the renowned Girl Scout Cookies and Face Off OG. This mind-numbing combination results in a powerful and flavorful cultivar that embodies the best qualities of its parent strains.

Dosidos is characterized by its stunning visual appeal, with frosty, trichome-covered buds that shimmer under the light. The aroma is incredible, blending earth, sweet, and floral notes, while the flavour offers a rich blend of sweetness and spice. The resin coverage is always substantial with Dosidos hybrids. It imparts its potency frequently and tames many less desirable traits in hybrids it is crossed with.

Planet Purple is a testament to Archive Seed Bank's innovative breeding techniques. This strain crosses Purple Punch and Moonbow, creating a vibrant and potent hybrid.

Planet Purple is visually striking, with deep purple hues and a generous coating of trichomes. The aroma is a complex blend of berry, grape, and earthy notes, while the flavor is equally rich. It offers a sweet, fruity experience and deep, funky chem and OG fuel.

Rainbow Belts is a colourful and flavorful creation from Archive Seed Bank, born from the union of Zkittlez and Moonbow. This strain embodies the vibrant and sweet characteristics of its parents. Many connoisseurs view it as bridging the gap between the incredible Z flavour and the less manageable traits such as slower growing and flower production.

Rainbow Belts has more recently released in the Rainbow Belts 2.0 and Rainbow Belts 3.0 forms, with the 2.0 being a cross of Rainbow Belts #20 X Rainbow Belts F1 and the 3.0 being newest version.

Rainbow Belts is a visual and aromatic delight featuring a rainbow of colours and a sweet, fruity aroma. Its flavour profile is dominated by sugary candy-like notes, making it a sensory treat.
