Four essential strains of a legendary European strain

When it comes to genetics, Blimburn Seeds doesn’t mess around.
Sergio M is the cannabis star you may not have heard of, but you’ve definitely seen his work. As his native Spain became a seed production hotspot in the early 2000s, this genetics wizard began working behind the scenes with some of the biggest names in cannabis – and still does through Blimburn Seeds, a seed bank serving breeders around the world trust world.
Through Sergio’s friendship and collaborations with cannabis icons Kyle Kushman and Steve DeAngelo, he was the first to bring American genetics, including Granddaddy Purple and GSC, to Europe. Blimburn now supplies seeds for more than 600 varieties. Their feminized seeds are uniquely stable, meaning they are not prone to genetic anomalies, due in part to a well-cared for collection of decades-old mother plants.
When preparing for this year’s growing season, Blimburn is a great place to start – and Sergio is a rich resource of cannabis know-how. Blimburn’s seeds may be everywhere, but why not buy straight from the source?
These four exclusive strains from Blimburn’s catalog are handpicked by Sergio for this growing season.
White window
This decades-old strain is legendary for its thick layer of crystals and powerful effects. Dutch breeders crossed a Brazilian sativa landrace with a heavy indica native to southern India to create this pungent, piney bud that has many children of its own: White Rhino, White Russian, and Black Widow, to name a few.
White Widow seeds aren’t too difficult to track down, but Blimburn’s are unique in that they use a very old mother plant straight from the Netherlands – so you know you’re not just getting White Widow, you’re getting the White Widow of legend.
While this strain packs impressive effects, as a plant she is quite light-hearted. Like most varieties, it needs a lot of sun, but it is robust, cold-resistant and not particularly demanding. She has an average volume yield, but with THC levels up to 25%, is she really average?
black mamba
According to Sergio, 20 years ago a couple of Spanish breeders bought a pack of Critical Mass seeds in the Netherlands. What emerged from the earth was a frighteningly ugly plant, but as soon as they smoked it they knew they had something special. Clones of this plant started to sell like hotcakes and this strain won awards across Europe including the Highlife Championship in 2004.
A Blimburn original, Mamba Negra is a cross between this fabled plant and a fruity, colorful Skunk. She is a stunning indica (despite looking like a sativa when growing) with euphoric, cerebral and deeply relaxing effects, ideal for the end of the day. When grown in nutrient-rich soil and kept pest-free, she will reward you with an abundance of huge, dense buds.
Cafe Racer
Cafe Racer is a perfect blend of American genetics and European ingenuity. Inspired by Sergio’s love of motorcycles, it is a Blimburn-bred cross between Granddaddy Purple and GSC. Like having the wind in your hair on a long open road drive, the effects are relaxed, creative and euphoric.
There’s even a proper bike to go with it. The Blimburn model from the luxury brand Tamarit was developed in the legendary cafe racer style in collaboration with Sergio. He still drives it today!
This beginner-friendly strain grows up to two meters tall outdoors. Expect to harvest dark green, trichome-rich buds with purple and orange pistils in late September.
holy death
Blimburn’s finest Haze is Santa Muerte, an original cross between Mexicana and Original Haze. Harvesting in mid-October takes a little longer to grow, but her hash-like herbal flavor and social, cerebral high are worth the wait. This beginner-friendly and pest-resistant strain grows up to 3 meters tall outdoors and loves both rich soil and hydroponic systems. She delivers extremely high yields of resinous weed.
Santa Muerte is the life of the party, ideal for long, stimulating conversations and blooming creativity without being couch-locked.
