Mr Nice Seeds is more than just a seed bank – it’s a legacy. Founded by Howard Marks (aka “Mr Nice“) and legendary breeder Shantibaba, the label stands for some of the most stable and potent strains in the world. Instead of focusing on short-lived trends, Mr Nice Seeds cultivates genetic diversity, medicinal potential and genuine breeding craftsmanship. After the Mr Nice films, today I will show you which strains Mr Nice Seeds has produced, how it all began – and which innovative projects are running worldwide under the Mr Nice brand. Back to all cannabis legends.

The story of Mr Nice Seeds

Mr Nice Seeds was founded in the early 2000s by Howard Marks and Scott Blakey (Shantibaba) – after Marks’ release from prison. The two combined know-how, genetics and a clear mission: the preservation and further development of legendary strains. Originally based in the Netherlands, mrnice.com now serves the whole of North America – with partnerships with legal farms, research institutions and medical projects.

Buying Mr Nice Seeds – but where?

The original Mr Nice Seeds are now officially available online – e.g. via mrnice.com for North America or via established European stores. Pay attention to the branding and the origin – because many “White Widow” or “Critical Mass” seeds on the net are not Shantibaba’s originals.

Mr Nice Seeds stands for quality, consistency and history. The strains are not only genetically mature, but carry a legacy – that of Howard Marks, Shantibaba and a worldwide movement. Whether you are a patient, grower or collector, these strains are part of the cannabis DNA. True classics for true connoisseurs.
