Humboldt Seed Company – Elite Californian Genetics, Bred for Quality & Community
Founded by
Nathaniel Pennington in 2001 in California’s Emerald Triangle,
Humboldt Seed Company began as a mission-driven seed bank supplying medical cannabis patients under Prop 215. With a background in fisheries biology and decades of cannabis experience, Nathaniel combined scientific precision with grassroots ethics to create one of California’s most respected cannabis breeding outfits.
What started in Humboldt County soon grew into a genetics powerhouse. Today, Humboldt Seed Co. is globally known for their meticulous phenotype selections, bold terpene profiles, and vigorous, high-yielding cultivars suited for medical and recreational growers alike.
In 2018, Humboldt Seed Co. hosted the
world’s largest collaborative phenotype hunt, working with over 100 farms across California to preserve and refine standout traits from the state’s most coveted genetics. This large-scale project helped identify and stabilize award-winning strains with exceptional resin, flavour, and structural integrity.
Beyond the seeds, Humboldt Seed Co. gives back—supporting patients, farmers, and low-income families while remaining committed to ecological sustainability and local community development.
