Seed Vault of California has been around for a decade and is the United States’ first domestic cannabis seed bank. In the beginning, Seed Vault of California was started to fulfill the lack of affordable and ways for people to grow their own quality cannabis.
Years back, Volunteer Jay, Seed Vault of California’s founder, says he read a San Diego Union-Tribune interview with then-District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis. Dumanis talked about how cannabis was illegal, but that medical cannabis patients were allowed to grow their own medicine. SDUT asked Dumanis if she knew where patients could get safe access to cannabis seeds or clones to grow their own, and she had no answer.
What the Dumanis interview showed was medical cannabis patients’ need for access to materials for quality cannabis home grows, plus the lack of transparency to the public about where to purchase genetics.
“It seemed like, at the time, everyone wanted to sell MJ patients cannabis flower for 50 to 60 bucks per eighth, but no one wanted to show them how to grow, where to get the seeds or clones, and where to get the grow equipment,” said Volunteer Jay.
Volunteer Jay started a clone collective, Holistic Nursery Clone Collective, shortly transitioning the business into a seed bank as seeds have a longer shelf life and are cleanlier. Clones can carry spider mites or powdery mildew which harm cannabis plants.
Seed Vault of California is grateful to be a part of the history and future of cannabis. Volunteer Jay is looking forward for the cannabis industry’s progression and growth, and predicts it will be much like craft beer. He adds, “Those who invest in their brand, packaging, and great seed pack genetics will harvest abundant craft quality frosty buds and really stand out amongst the corporate mids entering the industry.”
