However, if you are speaking to Amsterdam/etc as having better genetics than here in the US I would not agree with such a statement. There are some top-quality genetics in Europe, no doubt, but these days the US has everything Europe has and more and there is no need to source seeds from outside the US anymore. (risking Customs detection/etc)

that's my opinion, anyway. As always, YMMV.

Very True Hash. Most of the popular strains you see in Amsterdam were actually American west coast strains to begin with.,
I believe these are some of the strains taken to to the Netherlands, from the USA as clones or seed. Not all of course.

The Dutch seed companies have come up with some mind bending strains and done good with what they got but the original "fine blended" genetics came from the pacific northwest Particularly the Humboldt area and Hawaii, not all, but the majority.
IMO- Mel Frank and his legendary wisdom (his 70's volume and 88 volumes are great), Jack Herrer with his medical break thru in the mmj fields and Jason Kings three volume cannibible are with out a doubt nothing less then master pieces in gathering information on the history, science and evolution of the marijuana plant. :jointsmile:
Some new strains I would like to try to get hold of are spirit of 76, Williams wonder, blueberry hash. ahhh in time :jointsmile:
