Luc Krol

As the founder of Paradise Seeds, I have always been highly involved in the breeding of our beloved cannabis varieties. Since I started growing cannabis in the early 1980’s, it has always been my aim to select the very best genetics. This has resulted in a solid strain base which is the cornerstone of Paradise Seeds’ work. Only selecting and crossing the most potent cannabis (marijuana) plants with the finest, sweet taste has led to the creation of the powerful connoisseur strains we offer today. The quality you get with our cannabis seeds is that of the finest cannabis currently available on the market.

After some experience with growing for personal use

Our journey began in 1990

Around that time, many Coffeeshops started to sell imported hash from India, Afghanistan or Morocco and weed from Thailand, Colombia, Mexico or Malawi. Most of this was of poor quality. But things were changing, new types were introduced from the U.S that were early crossbreeds of higher quality. This is when we got involved in the early research for better quality strains. Our aim was to create better cannabis, for our own use.

Due to early pioneers such as ourselves, Dutch cannabis was of the highest quality and growing for personal use got much more popular.
