Interview with Arjan and Franco from Strain Hunters at 2013 ExpoGrow Irun

Transcript of interview with Arjan and Franco from Greenhouse Seeds:

Here we are with Arjan and Franco from Strain Hunters (Greenhouse), it is a true pleasure meeting you guys, a true pleasure.

Thanks.

Sharing a moment with you, just a few questions, just a few questions.

For example, Which is the main difference between Greenhouse and Strain Hunters genetics?

Strain Hunters seedbank has been created from the experiences of our trips, looking for landraces, original autoctonous genetics from parts of the world in which they are being lost; Strain Hunters offers regular genetics of these landraces, as well as feminized and auto varieties, it is a complete seedbank.

Ok, so we have many new options and varieties, ok.

About the new varieties...which is the one that...which is the most important one, the one you like best or, for example, any of them which is special for you?

White Lemon

White Lemon is a very special plant, a cross between Super Lemon Haze and El Niño, which has taken the best of these two champions, perfectly representing the Sativa side and a more physical side, very complete, the taste, the vigour of the plant...It is easy to grow, so easy...It is probably one of the most amusing plants to grow.

And of course FlowerBomb Kush, which has won the High Times Cup, the newest, it has won several awards already, the most famous genetics.

Speaking about the new range of nutrients Feeding Powder. Which are their main advantages? What is outstanding about them?

The main advantages are its easiness of use and great yields. Compared to other products in the market, our line of marijuana fertilizers is designed for Indicas, Sativas and hybrids separately, offering the grower a very simple approach, very easy, it is a product that has it all for the whole crop, and the results are similar or higher than with other complicated and expensive nutrient lines.

Ok, so it is more compact and much more easy to...Easy. Ok. Suitable for everyone, sure, perfect. Another question...is there any country among the ones you've visited that was particularly complicated or interesting...any funny or dangerous anecdote to highlight?

Always. Every trip is particular, sure. They are trips but they are not trips, they're expeditions, they're...crazy missions, for sure. The last one was to Colombia, with Vice and the Vice guys - from the USA - which is an internet portal, internet television from there...and, of course, in Colombia is not easy...we went to South Colombia, with guerrilla people who showed us their crops, and the day after we were with their enemies, in Nort Colombia, to see their crops, so it is a...a difficult, delicate game.

But, after all it is adventure, you are looking for a unique strain. Unique in the world.

But it is worth it, right? Just another question now. What are your feelings here, in Expogrow, this year...Are you happy with the things you see? Tell us a little bit.

Well, we are from Green House Organization very happy with everything that happens in Spanish, especially in the north Spain, which is very close to the French border, so this is very good for the industry and France too, and we are hoping that Spain and Holland will very soon follow in the footsteps of the USA that basically two weeks ago through the Barack Obama administration legalized marijuana, so we hope Spain and Holland will follow soon...And yes, this is good for the industry.

So you feel this is something needed, useful, it is, it is a step forward towards legalisation.

Is part of the normalisation process. We need fairs everywhere, and we need fairs in this part of Spain, because you had Barcelona and Madrid, and Valencia in the South...but we had nothing in the North, so its very important for the north and for France. 

Yes, it is trully important, it really is.

Thanks a lot.

You are welcome.

Have a nice fair. Thanks and enjoy the event. Thanks again.

Thanks. The same for you. Thanks a lot.
