I'm from Appalachian mountains and I come from 3 generations of growers. My grandpa retired after 57 years of outdoor... Started with seeds brought back from Vietnam. I love this show ❤️
Do you guys realize how this hits some of us? I literally got chills when the video started. So many years have gone by since I first saw you all and learned about green house seeds. I really hope you all are loving life. Be safe, take care and I hope to continue to see new things 🙏 ❤
RIP Franco! A true hero of my teenage years! I always smile when i see him in the africa expedition shirt & with the safari hat! A real Strain Hunter! 💚
am so gutted about Franco but I feel he is still doing this whole adventure with you guys as long as you guys keep his name alive he will always be with u all
Franco worked inside and still smokings ng tabaco with whatever. No. Only herb with hasch or alone bit nevera regular tabaco man. You Will need touns of vitamin c wich he did not tair anytime. Money dors not hice you health. Top kuch work Will tair It away
Franko is the reason why I began growing and the first person I purchased real seeds from not just bag seeds. Now my wife and I have a seed bank with 115 strains and breed and bring lots of people good medicine! Thank you and God bless you sur RIP
@Martin fuckin oath bro, my mates granddad who just passed has been growing the same strain he grew for years that he got when he was deployed in Vietnam, not that he smoked it well over there though, and has never variated from this strain
Remember watching in early HS dreaming the day to access these strains. R.I.P Franco. I'm starting to see the fruit from the many seeds you planted, sparking a nation 🙏🏿
African here watching from Kenya 🇰🇪🖤...I've been following this channel because it's lifestyle 🤗🖤...God bless welcome to Africa... we're still fighting Cannabis prohibition here 💪🏿
RIP Franco, your legacy lives forever. Mr. Strain please come to Malawi again this time engage with the new CRA and help the people of Malawi, we are lost!, we don't seem to know wtf we are doing, but you know we can get that fire going. Great to see you back up General.
Hi I have been smoking the strain you guys found in Mpondo land since 1984 and have grown it in the Sundays River Valley with great success. With our valley climate of cold winters and very hot summers this strain excels. Great strain to lose weight. I went from 200kg to 100kg in 18months with no stretch marks as it is a great sativa that gives you energy, up the metabolism and give great mind clarity. Cheers
Franco taught me so much and was my idol. If you ever need anyone to travel all corners of the world to find new strains, I would be there for you guys , I speak french , English Spanish and I'm learning creole bc my wife Is haitian and we are struggling to get her out of haiti. Franco was everything to me and I miss him dearly. It is also my dream to see Amsterdam before they change the laws in the shops. I have skills that are only developed through trails and tribulations. I'm hardened for any weather with survival skills to manage any storm . Im a trained martial artist / grower with a passion for traveling to dangerous and uncomfortable regions of the world ...Thanks for all that you guys have done for the culture and the plant.
Thank you for this video as a South African l always wanted to know how Pondo land look like thanks to you guys and Xhosa people are very welcoming people we all saw that am proud of them.
I really need to make a long boring comment here, i'm young and when this serie started i was just out of this world, as an italian i never been so proud of this passion, Franco is an ispiration to all italians and non who wants to change their country in a good way and i'm really proud to say that for me strain hunters is a project that lives in every cannabis lover's heart, it's a really important project that goes far from just profit or entertainment, love to everyone
We all love and miss you Franco thank you for all the fantastic work you and your team have done and are still doing today it’s you guys who have saved millions of patients who need this god given medicine
What a pleasant surprise, welcome back guys. And thank you for doing a South African episode 🤝, so many wicked strains here to share with the world 🇿🇦.
Yrs ago I had a note book of all the information I would gather from you two back in the day. Absolute legends, appreciate all you're work and dedication 🙏 🙌
I'm happy I found this really gives more appreciation for a beautiful plant and the lengths that people are willing to go to for the plant. Awesome stuff
Wow, this came totally unexpected and your comeback is absolutely brilliant. Also shoutout to the film production team and the editor. This feels like the originals in a more cinematic quality. Solid work!
Damn Simons gotten older, thats kind of a trip to see ;) so have i i guess :) amazin to finally get some of those bautiful sceneries here on your channel again guys! Franco woulda been proud, youre keeping his legacy going! much love
Glad you're putting out new content. Strain Hunters has always been a great series. Franco was an amazing guy. I only had the pleasurer of emailing with him a few times but he always responded and with a wealth of knowledge. I was lucky enough to make it to Amsterdam in the fall of 2017, unfortunately after his passing. When I was discussing my options with the budtender I asked, "what would Franco want me smoking?", the budtender gave me a 2nd look, and then a smile and said, "Oh, definitely the Cheese". I hope he's somewhere smoking all the dankest skunk. RIP Franco.
Hope the communities that share their gifts with this crew are very well compensated. These groups of people are seed banks, landrace preservers and it would be wrong to take without any love going their way.
They didn't do any of that until Franco caught enough flack and advocated for monetary help And their is no preservation happening listen to the grower at 15:20 "We lost the local landrace" Arjan is pulling a wool over your eyes, He goes to local communities and secluded villages Takes their landraces for himself and leaves his crap stolen genetic drifts in place RUINING the local diversity for everyone else So he can turn around cross it into some new brid and release feminized seeds I.e. preserving nothing giving nothing . Look at all the people in the comments glorifying this clever businessman. Cannabis community medicine? Fuckem amirite?
I went to the Greenhouse coffee shop in Rotterdam once ,first thing in the morning after getting off a flight from Australia. I mentioned to them I sometimes went to the Sensie Coffee shop across the road to them but it was closed at breakfast time. I guess they hated Sensie because the manager then got real aggressive and told me to leave. I'll never buy any Greenhouse products again. 🙄Not nice people . Thumbs down from me.😮💨
I was fortunate enough to spend some time with the guys in the Transkei 2010... Cool people, really down to earth... Super knowledgeable... Rip Franco...
I’m starting a business in Colombia over the next two years, we are legalize it here, seeing this again it was like the first time. You Guys have inspired me so mucho in this beautiful industry, I’ll do my best as you did, I will change the game. For the culture, thanks.
We need more episodes of Strain Hunters! Also it would be so sick if you guys could make these seeds available online so we amateurs can mess with them too!
Arjan great to see you video again we sure miss Franco but his spirit is with you guys!!Keep up the great work helping communities GREAT JOB!!Cant wait to take you guys into Amazon one day for nice hike!!!! God Bless
Bless you guys! I am trying to bring back Rooibaard and was checking out a few vids and stumbled across you guys! Cannot believe I have never see your stuff before! There goes my weekend. You guys really just blew my mind. Thanks for coming back to SA!
Hell yes guys, in honor of Franco, I will be buying as many single pack seeds of the lemon cheese if I'm correct just to send the love out to people, share the love you guys have for this plant, and keep safe guys "I do on the other hand have a chemical bride pack and a white widow" added to my collection by green house seeds always enjoying the content
Really glad to see again guys,I hope one day you 'll take a trip to Madagascar, I'll be really glad to show you our landraces strains , from south to north , many phenotypes
Rest In Peace Franco...love this strain hunting!!! I'm growing a South African Sativa landrace called Kwazulu she's outperforming all the good hybrid strains by a long shot. It's so awesome to see you guys have done this hardwork together finding the good strains there Thank you!!! I also got some vials of Durban Poison, Pure Mango, & Malawi but haven't growed these in the vials I saw it takes Malawi 15 weeks to flower so I left that one be. Let it grow 🌱 🌲
be great to see you guys go in search of some real Thai weed as I see all they are selling or growing there now are Californian strains . when i visited Bangkok in the 1990 the weed was off the charts the highest ive ever been ..some serious thai sativas for sure & worry they will get lost with all going on & the commercialisation happening in Thailand 😎
"we lost the local landrace , which is the negative part Good part is we make more money !" Arjan doing what he can taking landraces and then seed bombing landraces into oblivion with his shithouse genetics. Great move GH

Learned of these guys awhile back through a friend. RIP Franco... Keep the Strain Hunting going. 💯 🔥
Strain Hunter was like she's been working with weed longer than me, it's like dude weed was highly illegal in the states then lmao>
Franco is my idol, he showed me what it meant to love the plant, he showed me what it can do to heal the ones i love, this is my passion.

So glad you guys are back... RIP Franco Loja, your memories will remain with me forever... Wish you'd talk about Durban poison.
As a cannabis farmer seeing africa slowly accepting cannabis legalization and seeing all these fields of dank brings a smile to my face 🙂
Hey ...where u based?I've got 20 Acer land in sierra leone,West Africa...
U feel their brotherhood and their loss in their eyes. A true friend is hard to get and they for sure got it in Franco. What a life
We all love and miss you Franco thank you for all the fantastic work you and your team have done and are still doing today it’s you guys who have saved millions of patients who need this god given medicine
We are back. Much needed and much love to Franco, the team, and Arjan. :) Thank you for posting.

I so enjoyed this can't wait till December 22 for the new episode so long but will be waiting! This made me so happy to watch!! Rip Franco
I love when Simon really stops to take the time and explain what's going on for the people that have questions. Its really wholesome to me.
These guys rock so much passion they have about this plant its so amazing to see all this
Missing Franco.... a true LEGEND! TX for letting us take part of your Trip!!!

Glad you guys are back. Missed the expeditions. Keep it up

fyi this was out ages ago on their other channel, Greenhouse Seeds :D
Hope the communities that share their gifts with this crew are very well compensated. These groups of people are seed banks, landrace preservers and it would be wrong to take without any love going their way.
All the millions made by the strain hunters doesn't look like it is going back to the Africans. They use these people to get rich.!!
They didn't do any of that until Franco caught enough flack and advocated for monetary help
And their is no preservation happening listen to the grower at
15:20
"We lost the local landrace"
Arjan is pulling a wool over your eyes,
He goes to local communities and secluded villages
Takes their landraces for himself and leaves his crap stolen genetic drifts in place RUINING the local diversity for everyone else
So he can turn around cross it into some new brid and release feminized seeds
I.e. preserving nothing giving nothing .
Look at all the people in the comments glorifying this clever businessman.
Cannabis community medicine?
Fuckem amirite?
Unfortunately based off prior eps they're not... :(
Oh he'll "share" his shitty hybrids with them and then their pure landraces will be pure no more.
I went to the Greenhouse coffee shop in Rotterdam once ,first thing in the morning after getting off a flight from Australia.

The seeds outside of the original climate and ecosystem will mutate while growing and not be the same genetic representations as found originally.

REST EZ FRANCO 💯 IM SUPER HAPPY TO SEE YALL CONTINUE BECAUSE THATS WHAT FRANCO WOULD WANT I FEEL SO STAY STRONG
So , do Strain hunters regret displacing the local landrace ?
Seems like you made a bit of a mistake there.
I thought that too… every cause has an effect…
"we lost the local landrace , which is the negative part
Good part is we make more money !"
Arjan doing what he can taking landraces and then seed bombing landraces into oblivion with his shithouse genetics.
Great move GH
Yeah like ruining the landrace and selling feminized seeds..., weak as fuck
so much love and dedication to the growers!!!!
Franco lives forever.. Crazy how you catch a frenzy, yet we never met in person.
Flood S.A. with mediocre Greenhouse genetics. And then you're upset that all the Landrace strains are scarce? You are one of the reasons for rare Landrace strains. Sherlock Holmes over here.
Thanks guys been missing y’all RIP Fraco
Can’t wait to see more!! Chills boys
"Its not what we take when we leave this world behind, its what we leave behind when we go". RIP Franco, you will not be forgotten.
Man im so happy about this, with my girlfriend so fan of you guys, thanks for this. Love fron Argentina
