About the Super Sativa Seed Club

The Super Sativa Seed Club is one of the very first Seedbanks in the world. In the mid-eighties, every grower knew about the SSSC. It all started with the fact that "" Karel Karel, one of the founders of SSSC and a former squatter, gave the original Haze and Skunk#01 after moving from California. Karel used Sam's genetics to create some of the very famous strains that later became Super Sativa Seed Club.

The only Seedbanks that existed before SSSC came from Nevil and was called "The Seedbank". The Seedbank founded by Neville Schoenmakers The Seedbank was the first internationally operating seed bank in the world. Nevil combined the 10 original Haze seeds he received from Sam the Skunkman with the seeds he had collected on a variety hunt in Afghanistan to start his famous seed collection. The Seedbank is best known for the Nevil's Haze strain, but Nevil was also the first to use the infamous Ruderalis strain in his breeding work. The seeds Karel received from Nevil, together with those he received from Sam, became the first breeding and the foundation of the Super Sativa Seed Club.

Between 1985 and 1987, SSSC genetics pushed the boundaries of breeding and cultivation around the world. When High Times magazine published a cover story on the Dutch seed bank, sales exploded. In less than two years, SSSC sold millions of seeds in the US, Europe and Asia. After two very successful years, the adventure came to an end. The founders went their separate ways and most of the SSSC seed collection was lost.

"Weeds don't spoil" is a literal translation of the Dutch expression "onkruid vergaat niet". And that's exactly what happened. After the end of SSSC's adventure, Karel saved a very important plant, a daughter of the original Haze and Skunk#01. Karel kept cuttings of this precious plant for over 30 years and named it "Old School Haze". The remaining SSSC genetics are legendary, even now many strains carry DNA from the original SSSC seeds. All plants with a Haze or Skunk flavor likely have grandparents born from SSSC seeds.

In the 1990s, Karel and his team shifted their focus to genetic preservation and breeding new cannabis strains for the coffeeshops in Amsterdam. At the same time, Karel worked on the development of advanced indoor growing techniques. This made him an authority in the field of elite genetics, breeding and cultivation. At this time, Karel's son Kees, who had been growing and cultivating his own plants in Barcelona, joined him. His products are a great success in the cannabis social clubs, especially his signature strain Karel's Haze. Kees represents a new generation of growers. Working with great passion and the ambition to keep the legend alive.

In the eighties, Karel was part of an underground scene of squatters where smoking weed was an essential part of the lifestyle. Curious about the possibilities of growing weed himself, the first growers emerged. These pioneers were looking for new techniques to grow high-quality marijuana indoors. Karel began experimenting with indoor grow facilities in abandoned houses. He used professional grow lights, developed mineral fertilizers and grew the plants on rock wool. This technique of growing without soil was adopted from nearby glasshouse farming.

Kees always wondered where his father had bought his old-school flavored weed. In 2015, he discovered that his father had been secretly growing OSH in a hidden location all those years. Being a grower himself, Kees was convinced that the old genetics were very valuable. He set out to reintroduce the original taste and quality of Haze. Thanks to his efforts, SSSC is now able to sell original OSH seeds alongside the many other special genetics from the old seed collection.

SSSC is proud to have the honor of being part of the prestigious pioneer club in the High Times Hall of Fame.
