We’re telling the story of a legendary seed bank that gave this world several unforgettable strains. Today, we’re talking about the guys at Original Sensible Seeds (OSS) and their thorny path to success.
One day in the early 1990s, the founders of Original Sensible Seeds found themselves in Amsterdam, where they noticed large numbers of British people in grow shops. At the time, hybrid seeds and hydroponic equipment could only be bought there. Being growers themselves, the guys saw the potential for opening a similar shop in the United Kingdom. They decided to act quickly and, after several trips to Amsterdam, obtained all the necessary permits to distribute the products.
By 1992, the guys had established a shop in Newport, South Wales. It was originally called Sensible Light Systems and Seeds. Within a short time, they developed their own innovative hybrid generation of cannabis seeds, Skunk, and their own hydroponic system. The quality of their products and the efficiency of the equipment they produced were a real revolution.
The shop was later renamed Original Seeds Store. It has now operated successfully online for over ten years through its large distribution center in Spain.
Incidentally, Original Seeds Store has a Sensible Light Systems catalog published in April 1994. It’s full of various innovative equipment from the time. Cool that the guys didn’t just buy ready-made equipment, but developed it themselves!
Ashes and rebirth
After several years living in Spain, the founders decided to open a seed company again. They chose Original Sensible Seed Company because their original name was already being used by another company.
From that point, they reconnected with many old suppliers and friends. The guys were pleasantly surprised by the positive response they received from everyone on returning to the industry. Spain’s cannabis industry is now flourishing, with many leading breeders and companies working there, and the cannabis fairs in Barcelona and Madrid are among the world’s most popular.
The headliners
Now, down to business. After opening a new shop in Spain, the Original Sensible Seeds team caused a real sensation. They offered both their classic strains and a huge selection of genetics from the States that simply changed the game. All these new strains can be compared to real chemical factories, specifically created to produce maximum amounts of THC, other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. The seed bank’s five most popular strains are clear examples of this phenomenon. Let’s get to know them better.

All original Gorilla clones are known for their stickiness, flavor, and accompanying potency, but Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) is undoubtedly the most resinous of all the strains. Every seed bank lucky enough to get this special clone considers it its main treasure. Besides crazy amounts of THC and other cannabinoids, GG4 is also full of terpenes that explain its unique chocolate, pine, and citrus aroma.
