Description

The iconic Romulan strain, with its rich history dating back to the 1960s-70s, is available again in regular seeds! Romulan is a legend in BC and the Pacific North-West. It was originally breed and grown in the Victoria, BC area and is a favourite in medical clubs all over North America.

The Romulan (IX2) version is a 70% Sativa cross. It was created using a Romulan female clone, that's been preserved in the Romulan Genetics family since the 90s, and a male Romulan (IX1).

The plants are easy to grow and have good resistance to bud mold, mildew, and the usual pests encountered in cultivation. Heat and cold resistance is high. The plants do well in a SOG setup or SROG (indoor) and are a hardy outdoor cultivar. Be mindful of the odour levels indoors — a filter is recommended.

Romulan (IX2) has great potency, suitable for users with high THC tolerance, but is not prone to causing anxiety or paranoia. The buds have excellent trichome production, good bag appeal, and are very pungent. Concentrates such as oil, rosin, BHO are super potent.

Romulan has a balanced hybrid effect that makes you feel positive and content. The overall clear-headed high is unlikely to cause couch lock or sedation, unless you take high doses.

Romulan's full-body feeling lasts for hours and helps relieve ailments. It's a popular medical strain and has been used extensively by veterans to alleviate PTSD, and for muscle pain, nerve-based pain, fibromyalgia, and other symptoms.

History

Romulan Genetics started in 2017 with a single mission in mind; to bring our beloved family grown strain, Romulan, back to the growers and cultivators who sought her. That mission stemmed from conversations held with well respected cannabis farmers, who told us that Romulan was always a strain they wish that they could get back one day, but they feared she had been lost to time. And those conversations were all started when word was spread that our founder, Jake, was growing a cut of original Romulan. While the mission that Romulan Genetics sought out to achieve was fairly quickly realized, it was evident that there was more we could do on our end instead of just giving clones of our cut away in the hopes that it would spread out eventually. So the mission evolved selecting a Romulan male from the old seed stock, that was worthy of breeding with and creating regular seeds.

The Romulan grown by the seed bank is similar to the famous Joe's Romulan, but not the same thing. It's a slightly different version than what Joe had, and should be thought of as closer to Vic High's Romulan cut. Romulan Genetics works with a pure original Romulan, slightly Sativa leaning, that has not been crossed with anything else.

The Romulan strain has a long history dating back to US army veterans returning home from the Korean war. They brought back seeds from an amazing strain they had sampled, called Thai. The Korean Thai seeds were grown back home in the BC area, and Norcal area but the veterans found it very difficult to grow in those regions. Eventually breeder Joe (aka Romulan Joe) and other veterans got involved and introduced a Mexican Sativa into the mix. In the late 1970's a Colombian landrace was added, most likely Colombian Red. Eventually an Afghani Indica was bred in, but they did not like the results entirely, so they back-crossed it with the Colombian Red again before they found what they were looking for. This original set of F1 seed stock are what brought "P. Alberni Pinebud", "P.A. Purple", and other notable strains to come from the region at that time. "Romulan Joe" is who brought the strain to the masses initially. Most everyone knows that part of the story. The Romulan we grow here, is something similar to the famous Joe's Romulan, but not the same thing. Rather it is a slightly different version than what Joe had, and should be thought of as closer to Vic High's Romulan cut. Our's is a pure original Romulan, sativa leaning slightly, that has not been crossed with anything else.

That leads us to 2015, when our founders father passed away in his sleep. And shortly after his close friends began to pass as well. Eventually Jake found himself the caretaker of this plant he had grown up around his whole life. He had minimum growing experience, but being a USMC Veteran himself, he felt a debt of gratitude to the men who had created this plant. It wasn't just his father and his involvement, it was all of them working together for decades to create what they felt was perfectly suited for their unique needs. Any Veteran with PTSD will tell you, that you simply cannot explain what its like to be in their head. And Jake himself felt that Romulan, uniquely over any other strain, brought him to a feeling of being centered and in control of his life. All of this mounted up, and drove Jake to attempt to give clones away to any who wanted them. He sought out large breeders, growers, and licensed cannabis providers all in an attempt to give clones freely and spread her back around again.

Eventually Romulan Genetics became a full fledged cannabis breeding company. Determined to bring the medicinal benefits of Romulan to all of those who need it.
