Cannabis Breeding
Premium SelectionsFIRE IN = FIRE OUT out truly is the best way to describe initial selection criteria. This holds true for landrace strains too.

Phenotype HuntingMuch of our pheno hunt is based around desired climate specific traits, then appearance, potency, and flavor.

Strain DevelopmentStrain development ends only when all selection criteria has been met. Any subpar crosses will be abandoned.

Our primary focus is to breed cannabis strains that can thrive in a variety of environments. Being a Canadian cannabis breeder comes with its own challenges relating to the northern outdoor climates experienced throughout most of our vast country. While there are many existing strains that can cope with these conditions, it is Freestone Genetics objective to produce the best possible breeds for them. By retracing the building blocks back to landrace strains, we breed the best traits of each phenotype to create elite climate specific breeds.
We strive to breed all our strains under the conditions for which they are intended to be grown in, or closely as possible. This means that most of our strains are grown and bred outdoors to become a unique "produit-de-terroir" as Frenchy would say.
Original Freestone Strains (non-feminised)
Bush Jam a 60% Sativa was chosen as a 2021 breeder male due to it excellent cold and wet weather resistance which best suits the Ontario and Canadian climate. It also produced a stud male that we just could not ignore. Medium structure, strong columnar growth and resistance make this a very easy strain to grow.
Caker is 70% Indica finishing the third week of October in Southern Ontario. A vigorous bush of medium height and handles the cold like a champ with very little mildew and no mold under prolonged cold and wet conditions. It is recommended to defoliate or use SOG to turn it from a medium yield to a medium-high. Stress tested to November 15 2021 in Southern Ontario.
Chemon-Lime is our most cold and wet weather resistant strain in our catalogue. Defying both mildew and mold with ease, this is a short hearty plant with high THC, high yield and serious foul weather defense. This slight indica leaning strain is a gem to grow and a great balanced any-time strain for consumption.
Huron Haze is a 90%+ sativa that finishes flowering in the late September sun of Southern Ontario, voiding itself of many cold and wet weather related issues such as Botrytis (bud rot or mold) and White Powder Mildew (WPM). Despite its early finish, Fall '21 also taught us this plant is fairly resistant to prolonged wetter conditions too. Yielding well over 1kg/plant in optimal conditions, making this early sativa a croppers dream!
Huron Haze was the main pollen donor to our 2021 breeding projects that included five new Indica crosses and six new Sativa crosses as seen in our 2021 Breeding Projects below.

Most parents and seeds are sourced from original breeders and include proof of origin whenever possible.
