In this cannabis breeding episode of the Grow W33d at Home with Kyle Kushman podcast, we’re thrilled to welcome breeder and grower, Nathaniel Pennington, founder of Humboldt Seed Company. Nathaniel takes us back to his roots as a guerrilla grower in Humboldt, sharing how necessity drove him to start making his own seeds in the early days when cloning was unheard of and seed availability was limited. What began as a self-sufficiency effort eventually evolved into the renowned Humboldt Seed Company.
00:53: The Importance of Self Sufficiency in Breeding
02:33: Challenges of Breeding in Proximity to other Growers
04:12: Transition from Legacy Breeding to Commercial Production
Nathaniel dives deep into the challenges faced by legacy operators in the post-Proposition 64 era, the rise of corporate interests in the cannabis market, and the critical importance of preserving cannabis culture. He also gives us an inside look at the science behind phenotype hunting, the complexities of breeding c4nnabis, and how his company has remained a cornerstone in the community by staying true to its roots.
Kyle and Nathaniel also discuss the future of cannabis breeding, the resilience of the plant, and the ongoing battle to keep the cannabis community authentic and free from greed-driven commercialization. This episode is packed with invaluable insights for cannabis cultivators, breeders, and enthusiasts alike.

I'm extremely grateful that he has a Fisheries biology background understanding Because it's so important to protect that environment up there in northern california. Yeah several years ago I was up there growing on top of a mountain. Beautiful environment but there is so much going on. When you pay attention to everything around you.
Funny how Humboldt seed company just stopped selling regular seeds though 😅
Seeds are legal to sell nationally. How do you carry on a bred if you don't do seeds. Peace to the breeder power to you all ……
Wish Justin was asked some Growing questions before the last 3 minutes of the video.
Agree some phenos are much happier than others..
I remember when Humboldt was something special…. yall need to let it go. Tech has made everyone an expert.
Thanks for sharing Kyle. Omega-3's are essential for the formation of CB1 receptors that attach to our central nervous system; these cannabinoid receptors also absorb the phytocannabinoid THC and the endocannabinoid 2-ag.Jun 26, 2020Thanking all growers breeders cultivators lovers of the master plant. She breeds passion and homeostasis cb2 receptor inhibits sars2. Ganja is a medicinal treasure trove. Support your local farmers peace and love.
