Archive Seed Bank is a UK-based specialist in rare and archival cannabis genetics, sourcing
long-lost landrace and vintage hybrid seeds. They offer regular, feminized, and limited
feminized reg packs, priced from mid-range to premium (£25–£80 for 5–10 packs) depending
on rarity.

What sets Archive apart is their dedication to preserving genetic diversity—they don’t
mass-produce but release small-batch collections of endangered strains. While no formal
germination guarantee exists, their stealth shipping (UK/EU) and payment options (cards, bank
transfer, crypto) are robust.

Archive’s site features thorough strain histories and breeder interviews, making it both a
shopping platform and a living cannabis genetics museum. If your mission is conservation and
phenohunting, Archive Seed Bank is unmatched.
