Folks,



I've just received the latest copy of the Sensi Seed Bank catalog from

Holland and thought I'd type in the seed descriptions for your

enjoyment. (Sorry I can't include the pictures, they're great!)



Reading this makes me realize how enlightened the Dutch are. How did

we get to the point where keeping the company of certain plants will

get you a ruined life, courtesy of the Government? Keep up the good

fight, let's make it legal in the US!



Disclaimer: I only wish I could be their happy customer!

			SENSI   SEED   BANK



All you need, you'll find at Sensi Seed



Sensi Seed Bank B.V. is the first complete growshop in Holland. You'll

find a vast collection of books for beginner or expert, fertilizers

for growing in soil or hydroponics, lighting, ecologically sound crop

protection, growing systems and of course our unique, world-famous

seed collection. In short, a visit to our shop is a must for every

grower!



Grow it and you'll know it!



This leaflet provides you with a survey of all the seeds in our

collection. You'll find a description of the different varieties as

well as some data on harvest times and yields which will help you make

your choice. The plants fall into three categories: 1) Indoor,

2) Indoor/greenhouse, 3) Outdoor.



The indoor flowering period gives the amount of time the plants need

to finish off once you have put them into flowering (12 hours of

light/12 hours of darkness). For the outdoor varieties the data refer

to the approx. date of harvest in Holland. Because of uncertain

weather conditions in September and October we recommend to choose

early varieties for outdoor growing. The data on yield give you an

idea of the possibilities of the different varieties. Since the yield

depends on the grower as well as on the conditions the data are no

guaranteed results. The prices are given for 15 seeds.



We are not able to give any guarantees on these seeds, since we are

dealing with living material. However, we test the viability and

germination rates of all varieties on a regular basis.



The seeds are only meant for agricultural purposes within the

Netherlands. 



NORTHERN LIGHTS (Winner pure indica 88/89/90 -- Indoor)

[photo: mouth watering shot of a sticky bud]



An absolute must for the indoor grower! For the last couple of years

the Northern Lights has dominated the various Harvest Festivals. Through

selective breeding we have succeeded in producing one of the most

powerful plants in the world. On top of that, we have developed a

strain highly adapted for indoor growing: short, stocky plants that

produce maximum yields in the shortest possible time.



Flowering: 45-50 days

Height 100-125 cm

Yield: up to 125 gr

Price: fl. 200.00 [that's Guilders -- 1.8 to the dollar these days. It

		   works out to about $7.50 a seed]





SILVER HAZE (champion 89 -- Indoor)

[photo: mouth watering shot of a sticky bud]



Although the cerebral high of Sativa is preferred by many, indoor

growers aren't too fond of this type: Sativas get very tall, take a

long time to finish off and produce skimpy yields. We have spent years

searching for a superb Indica/Sativa hybrid suited for indoor growing.

By crossing the Haze, the most powerful Sativa in the world, to a

non-dominant Indica we managed to get the height and flowering time

of the plant down to an acceptable level and still retain the unique

Sativa qualities of the high. The result: the Silver Haze, winner of

the '89 High Times Harvest Festival. Don't expect top yields but top

quality that will excite the true connoisseur.



Flowering: 65-75 days

Height: 150-180 cm.

Yield: up to 100 gr.

Price: fl. 200.00



SHIVA SHANTI I (Indoor)



This Afghani with its penetrating Indica aroma is one of the best

yielders in the collection. Due to its top indoor performance combined

with a pleasant taste and high the Shiva Shanti is one of our most

popular varieties.



Flowering: 50-65 days

Height: 110-150 cm

Yield: up to 150 gr.

Price: fl. 60.00



BIG BUD (winner: Mostly Indica '89 -- Indoor)



For sheer yield and hybrid vigor, this is the best yet. The plants

surprise even experienced growers. Huge buds, excellent resin, taste

and high. Somewhat variable, approx. 1 in 4 females will be an extreme

heavy yielder, with the longer flowering plants giving the biggest

yields.



Flowering: 50-65 days

Height: 110-150 cm

Yield: up to 150 gr.

Price: fl. 160.00



NORTHERN LIGHTS #5 X HAZE (Winner: Mostly Sativa '90 -- Indoor)



Finally for sale in Holland: this superb Indica/Sativa hybrid, a cross

between our best Indica and Sativa strains. Extremely potent with

unique Sativa qualities to the high. Due to the Haze influence this

hybrid tends to stretch in height during flowering. Therefore it must

be flowered when very small. An excellent choice for an ebb and flow

table. Cuttings can be put into flowering as soon as they show roots.

The 10 week flowering period is well compensated with an excellent

yield. 



Flowering: 65-75 days

Height: 150-180 cm

Yield: up to 150 gr.

Price: fl. 250.00



FOUR-WAY (indoor)



This is a 4-way hybrid of our best indoor strains. Although somewhat

variable in growth pattern, all plants were fast flowering and of very

sweetest, most balanced tastes and highs that we have yet produced.

Height: 100-150 cm.

Yield: up to 100 gr.

Price: fl. 150.00



HINDU KUSH (Indoor)

Flowering: 45-50 days

Height: 115-130 cm.

Yield: up to 90 gr.

Price: fl. 100.00



AFRICAN QUEEN (Indoor)

fresh taste and excellent potency.

Yield: up to 100 gr.

and the room becomes immediately filled with a powerful Skunk aroma.

Yield: up to 100 gr.

Finishing date in greenhouse: end of Sept.

SKUNK #1 (Indoor/Greenhouse)

consistently performing true breeding strains in the world. Skunk #1

produces large buds with a very high calyx-to-leaf ratio. An excellent

choice for the greenhouse.

reliable varieties that we have ever produced. Excellent hybrid vigor

and yield make this one a snap to grow. Works superbly indoors as well

as in a greenhouse. Taste and high are similar to Skunk #1, a rich

sweet pungency, but with more resin and better yield. High

calyx-to-leaf ratio you can almost throw those scissors away as very

little manicure is required. An absolute must for beginners or

RUDERALIS SKUNK (Outdoor)

[photo: mouth watering shot of a field full of sticky bud]



Ruderalis is an early-flowering variety that grows wild in parts of

Eastern Europe and Russia. We have used the early flowering

characteristic of Ruderalis to improve the outdoor performance of some

of our best varieties. The advantage of a Ruderalis hybrid is that

approx. 50% of the seedlings will begin flowering at the 5-7th

internode, regardless of the photoperiod (finishing date Sept. 1). The

other half of the seedlings will be much later (October).



Finish: Sept-Oct.

Height: 2-3 m.

Yield: up to 300 gr.

Price: fl. 80.00



DURBAN (Outdoor)



A very early strain from South Africa. Durban is a compact Sativa with

a sweet aroma and an up high. One of the most reliable early outdoor

varieties, it will produce chunky, solid buds even during the worst

season. If you haven't tried Durban, you are missing out on one of the

easiest to grow, highest-quality early varieties in the world.



Finishing: end of Sept.

Height: 1.5-2.5 m

Yield: up to 400 gr.

Price: fl. 100.00



EARLY SKUNK (Outdoor)



An excellent hybrid between Skunk #1 and Early Pearl. Outdoor growers

are usually dissatisfied wit the finishing date of the regular Skunk

strain. The Early Skunk finishes about 2 weeks earlier than Skunk #1

due to the influence of the Early Pearl. The influence of the latter

is also noticeable in the smell and the high: sweet and smooth. On top

of that: the strain combines a good yield with mold resistance.



Finishing date: Oct. 1

Height: 2-3m.

Yield: up to 500 gr.

Price: fl. 60.00



EARLY GIRL (Outdoor)



This is a mostly Indica variety, one of the earliest in our

collection. Very potent, medium yield, with a hashy taste and aroma.

These compact plants will tend to grow to one main stem. An ideal

choice for your balcony!



Finishing: mid-Sept

Height: 1.5-2m.

Yield: up to 250 gr.

Price: fl. 100.00



EARLY PEARL (Outdoor)



Early Pearl has always been one of our most popular outdoor varieties.

Wonderfully sweet and resinous, the plants have a mostly Sativa

dominated growth pattern, with excellent potency. Very mold resistant,

even during the worst season.



Finishing: end of Sept.

Height: 2-3m.

Yield: up to 400 gr.

Price: fl. 100.00

Well, these guys have obviously done their homework. Which leads me to

comment on that phrase I saw yesterday:



	"Would you like to do your homework or smoke two joints?"

	"Yes!"
