Humboldt County, USA – In a groundbreaking collaboration that marries heritage and innovation, the Humboldt Legacy Project, dedicated to the preservation, authentication, and empowerment of the “legacy” cannabis culture, is thrilled to unveil a monumental partnership surrounding the extraordinary Humboldt Legacy Project Skunk #1 No. 1 (HLPS1). This cultivar, a direct descendant of David Watson’s original Skunk #1 lineage, renowned for its triumphant victory at the first High Times Cup in Amsterdam in 1988, not only echoes the rich history of cannabis but also symbolizes its ever-evolving journey.
The legacy of David Watson’s pioneering work endures as Martel Yip, in 2019, selected and contributed this exceptional selection to the Humboldt Legacy Project in collaboration with HENDRX. The aim: to discover pathways to preserve the essence of cannabis culture and safeguard it for generations to come. The validity of HLPS1 as a living relic has been meticulously confirmed through exhaustive genetic sequencing orchestrated by Medicinal Genomics. This rigorous process has unearthed an invaluable treasure trove of authenticity. As the strands of DNA were examined and decoded, the analysis not only affirmed the historical significance of this cultivar but also uncovered the existence of rare genetic variants that set it apart as an unique gem amidst the mosaic of tested cannabis varieties. HLPS1 has been time
stamped in Canopyright in order to start building data around the cultivar and to ensure accountability around it.
The synergy of vision between the Humboldt Legacy Project and HENDRX is nothing short of inspirational. Together, they have embarked on a journey that transcends cultivation and delves into the very heart of heritage preservation. HENDRX, a torchbearer of heirloom genetics, found a kindred spirit in the Humboldt Legacy Project. Their united mission centers around the nurturing, cultivation, and amplification of the living history encapsulated in our legacy genetic libraries. This strategic collaboration serves as the bedrock of their joint endeavor to ensure that the treasure trove of cannabis genetics endures the tests of time and the changing tides of the industry.
The founder of Humboldt Grace and creator of the Humboldt Legacy Project, Lelehnia DuBois envisions a future where the authentic and transformative “back to land” cannabis culture flourishes. Enthusiasts, cultivators, and connoisseurs all contribute to a vibrant tapestry that connects generations and spans eras. The Humboldt Legacy Project’s mission, driven by an unwavering commitment to discovering pathways for archival, authentication, and evaluation of cannabis genetics, paves the way for a deeper, more meaningful relationship with the plant and its storied past.
In a bold stride forward, MOCA Humboldt emerges as a stalwart pillar of support for this transformative initiative. In alignment with HENDRX and the Humboldt Legacy Project, MOCA Humboldt solidifies its commitment to the holistic growth of the cannabis community. MOCA Humboldt is a small vertically integrated company in Humboldt County with a focus on small batch soil grown indoor cannabis. They do everything by hand, and with much care and intention, striving to give the plant the best possible chance to thrive and express its highest potential. By cultivating the HLPS1 strain, collecting meticulous cultivation data for the Humboldt Legacy Project, raising awareness, and facilitating public access to these revered legacy genetics within the licensed market, MOCA Humboldt makes a resounding statement of intent. Their actions speak to the power of collaboration and the shared responsibility of nurturing the
legacy of cannabis.
As the Humboldt Legacy Project and MOCA Humboldt join hands, the cannabis industry witnesses the beautiful symphony of tradition harmonizing with innovation. With each growth cycle, with every tenderly nurtured bud, the story of cannabis culture continues to evolve, grow, and reverberate across generations.

Dear cannabista, interesting project! And are you planning to work with the genetics under the UN Convention on Biodiversity/Nagoya Protocol at your cannabis library? I was wondering about this since we waited for the Dutch ratification of this latest international convention (including for cannabis, just like any other crop) in the Senate late 2016 and because of this ratification we could found the Cannagenethics Foundation in Amsterdam February 2017, aiming at facilitating a living non profit cannabis genebank working under this Convention: https://www.cannagenethicsfoundation.org Had some cooperation from government officials but not from the agriculture department unfortunately, and personally had some setbacks as well, so the thriving is still there but not the realizing yet. Looking out for your reply, greetz drs. Hester Kooistra
