TERROIR SEEDS
TERROIR is a very fitting brand name for our cannabis seed line that will be released in the Fall of 2023. We look forward to sharing this unique seed library with many standard selections and annual limited releases with everyone.
We set out on a journey that began in 1984 with the first plant grown from miscellaneous bag-seed from an older brother then littered the local cornfields with our low-end dirt weed and had great results. This was the same year as the Elmwood(Bruce County) pot-bust which at the time was the largest cannabis seizure in Ontario, but not to be outdone by the Howick(Huron County) bust that followed just two years later. Both were large scale outdoor grows of imported seeds from Holland, and laid the footprint for numerous grow-ops in the heart of Ontario's farmland.
Hashish and cannabis oil ruled the pot scene from early 1980's until late 1990's when hydroponics began to pick up steam as seeds began to arrive from soldiers in Afghanistan and seed banks in Holland. Our friends and us were rarely caught without our small brass pipes and Bic lighters tucked away in our Levis jean jacket, and there was a lot of hash! Black, Blonde, Brown, and Red hashes cycled in and out with regularity, but never cheap. The hash was quite good until the early 90's when there seemed to be more CBD than THC in most of it.
In 1990 we acquired Skunk from a hydroponic grower in Hamilton, Ontario which we cross-bred with a highland sativa to create Walkerburn, named after the small village in Huron County where it was created. This was the precurser of our now modified and renamed Huron Haze. Whole crowds would gravitate towards us any time we sparked up at an open air venue. The smells were penetrating and unmistakeable.
By 1998 we had purchased our first seeds from mail order catalogue of a Dutch seed bank and also another several strains from Ron at Hidden Jungle in Etobicoke. After mediocre cloning results, we dialed in the process and were rooting 50-100 clones a week. The cardinal rules of guerilla grows were "keep your mouth shut" and "YOU are your own best partner". Sadly, we had to be retaught those rules in 1999 after three of us had partnered up and were sitting on 1500 plants at mid September just 3-4 short weeks before harvest. It was amazing to see the success of our creation and the genetic diversity of premium purchased seeds were just days from finishing. Then one of the plots disappeared, then another, and another until almost nothing was left. Pot-pirates, thieves, the scorge of the earth who wait all year to pilfer someone elses hard work.
