SeedFinders NewsFlash

The new CannaFox (Version 0.6) is available now! There was some small updates and bugfixes onto the forums from Mr.Nice and CannaWeed, the spanish forum CannabisCafe is back again - and we integrated a new forum: Autoflower.net. Thats all for the moment, have fun!

Since tonight you'll see the new menu item "Strain-Browser" top left in the SeedFinder. When you click on it you should see a choice for all breeders and varieties if you do not have JavaScript turned off. This should save you some clicks and time, now you can go from anywhere quickly to all strain/beeder infos. Furthermore there is a new menu for the strain information and uploads. This menu will be shown directly under the strain-browser, on all pages with information about a specific variety and will also work without JavaScript ;) Using this new menu, you can quickly and easily identify and find all the uploaded information about a strain - and also the links to upload and add your own strain-info! This menu hopefully protects you against going loop ways and will help to find all the connected straininfo much easier than before :)

From now on we can show cannabis strain info and reviews arranged to climate zones according to the universal Köppen / Geiger climate classification. This system is based on the concept that native vegetation is the best expression of climate. Thus, climate zone boundaries have been selected with vegetation distribution in mind. It combines average annual and monthly temperatures and precipitation, and the seasonality of precipitation. We use our own database with the actual climate data from the past 23 years to calculate this zones, onto this way we can deliver an actual and fairly accurately image (onto a 0.5 ° lat/long grid). This allows us to collect and evaluate information like flowering times, yields and so one for the different regions - and in the ideal case, the future farmer may find suitable or unsuitable varieties better than ever before!

Click here to go to SeedFinders climate index page, all functions are working now, for example, you can already see all strains suitable for a particular climate zone in an ordered list by average rating. With the help of our climate zone picker you can also point your spot on a map to get the local climate (as well as suitable strains for this place). What's missing are a few custom maps, explanations and overviews for the individual climate zones, but the interested reader will find some more info here onto the pages of the University of Vienna (very detailed) or at Wikipedia (probably not as accurate, but a little easier).

PS: This feature replaces the old Outdoor Plant Finder and the previous classification of the ountdoor reviews to the latitude. Geo-coordinates are no longer displayed in the future, the flowering times will be now displayed also separately for northern and southern hemisphere.

Our new dynamic map for the outdoor farmers will show all the Koeppen/Geiger climate zones onto a google map or in the google earth plugin. If you click somewhere onto the map you will also get a link to the strains in the seedfinder (if there are any outdoor reviews available for the selected zone). But, its a beta, the earth-browser-plugin is maybe a little bit buggy, but our kmz-file will work well with the standard google maps and also with the local google-earth version! Check it out, i hope you will like it :)

Get weather data, possible months and cannabis-strains worldwide with seedfinders new climate options. You can see a longtime climate overview, usable months for growth and flowering and possible strains for the local climate for every point on the globe now. We also updated our climate specification system to a better integrative (ecophysiological) one! Here you will find all info.

We changed our doctype to HTML5 now! This will bring us some new options, but we hope thats not noticeable for the moment ;) Where we are headed, it can be shown in a first small example. We will integrate some new stuff step by step, but as a first step and example we have updated our strain clouds for aroma, taste and effect right now :) Until now we included our pie-charts as old-fashioned, big PNG files or with the google chart api - now we can deliver nice vector graphics as inline SVG. These not only look better and load faster, they also are even prettier scalable. Here is a good example: Acidic aroma-cloud with pie-chart for Mandala #1. (And some more onto the strain info page.) Check it out, and hopefully you will also see the piechart - but normally it should work with the most (actual) browsers. (If not - please send us a short message and we will see what we can do!)

Sorry for the delay here at the SeedFinder, but during the last months our developers have worn out several keyboards and designed a phenomenal shopping- and auction system especially for cannabis seeds! We like to introduce it to you, although the new project has nothing to do directly with the SeedFinder - but it is a cool and unique system - and also connected quite closely with our strain-database.

The most important first:
Of course the SeedFinder don't sell any cannabis-seeds! It is a completely external and independent Shopsytem, operated by well-known and popular Hemcy.at/Cannapot Webshop in Austria. We have produced only the code, do a little advertising here on the site and provide the interface for the strain-info!

To cut a long story short:
If you're looking for seed-rarities, for limited editions, coveted remnants or for cannabis varieties of small farmers - or if you yourself are a breeder, and if you are maybe like to sell or auction your own hybrids - then the new system might be interesting for you! All offers and prices here are made directly from the breeders themselves, but all the the (worldwide) shipping and handling of payments carried from a single source - with the usual excellent service from Hemcy.at/Cannapot!

Allright, here we go:
-> MyCannapot - Cannabis Seed-Auctions and Shop

The whole order and auction system was created and customized by us extra for cannabis seeds, and of course with a special emphasis on safety and anonymity! But please remember, the shop is still in a beta phase - you are one of the first visitors ;-) So it might not look that great yet - but it works - and it will expanded and tuned step by step over the time :)

P.S.: The choice may seem a little sparse at the moment, but that will change soon! Until then, there are already various specialties from Alpine-Seeds and Earth-Seeds ready to bid or buy, some more stuff is onto the way! Well - check it out - and have fun with the new system! We hope you like it - and if you miss a function or if you have a question: let us know!

The first and raw version of our new strain wizard is online now! Now you can filter your strains not only with the breeder-info but also with the strain review data from our users! At the moment not all filters are activated (its the first beta version), but you can already choose between aroma, taste, high, effects, ratings and more then 30 different strain-attributes right now - and much more will follow in the next days. You can combine all the filters as you like - and also the table byself is order- and sortable, so i hope this will become a realy useful tool for you :) But please note, what you see right now is the first beta-version (and its in the middle of the night now) so i hope it will work well for you ;-) if something seems to be wrong - please let me know! see you later, klaas

Now you can add the following new filters to our Cannabis Strain Wizard:

* Flowering time (indoor)
* Growth Behavior (including different subfilters) and
* 3 filters for the yield (Amount, The ratio of leaves to buds and Compactness)

Up from now our cannabis strain wizard delivers permanent links for the actual selected filters! Onto this way you can preselect strains for friends and send them the link to the selection very simple - or you can use the links to bookmark your own strain-selection! If you are using an actual browser, the urls should change directly into the browsers navigation bar - if you are using an old browser you need to copy the link from the box into the left menu (where you also can change the language).

I hope you like this new option, and here as a test a link to a preselection for beginner friendly cannabis-strains!
