Luckily, social media exists and is the best way to know who’s creating what, and more importantly, when and where those new products will debut.
That said, here are some of the best breeders creating some of the best cannabis genetics today.
Seed Junky Genetics
Famous strains: Wedding Cake, Ice Cream Cake
As far as top names in the genetics game go, right now there isn’t a single one that rings off as loud as California’s Seed Junky Genetics. So many heavy-hitters that we are all smoking right now were created by that boy JBeezy, a famous cannabis geneticist who has been in this game for over 15 years.
Seed Junky has created Wedding Cake, Ice Cream Cake, Jealousy, LA Kush Cake, Kush Mints, and—I mean, do I really need to keep going? He is also co-owner of The Minntz, in collaboration with Cookies.
Right now, Jealousy is starting to bubble up as a highly coveted and demanded strain. I knew it would way back at the top of 2021 when I first saw him putting out pics of the cultivar on Instagram.
To know what cultivars and flavors are coming next from him, as well as potential seed drops, peep JBeezy’s main page and his backup page. Right now, both accounts have been pretty much wiped of cannabis strains and flower shots, probably because Instagram has been on an absolute rampage of shutting down cannabis accounts.

Exotic Genetix
Famous strains: Cookies and Cream, Grease Monkey
Mike from Exotic Genetix out in Tacoma, Washington really does this breeding shit. Like, really, really does this. He’s been in the game since the medical days and he’s famous for creating more strains than I can really name: Cookies and Cream put him on the map, but also Grease Monkey, Rainbow Chip, and Strawberries & Cream.
Archive Seed Bank
Famous strains: Face Off OG, Do-Si-Dos
Archive Seed Bank is a legend when it comes to breeding cannabis strains. They’re one of the longest running seed banks, with decades under their belt. They’re based in Portland, OR, but the Archive genetics can be found all up and down the West Coast.
They’re famous for creating Face Off OG and Do-Si-Dos, as well as Duct Tape, which feels like the newest rendition of GG#4. Rainbow Belts from them is already bubbling up as one of the next big strains, especially for hashmakers. Recently, a friend from Refine, an extractor out in Seattle, Washington, told me to keep my eyes peeled for its emergence over the next year or so. You can too, by following Archive Seed Bank on Instagram.
Additionally, if you’re looking for clones to grow yourself at home from this genetics juggernaut, their website says Breeders cuts are coming soon. Because they’ve all sold out. Because that’s how high quality and in high demand Archive Seed Bank strains are.
