AlphaType is a cannabis genetics company that develops F1 hybrid cultivars using a biobank-based, data-driven breeding program rather than traditional selection alone.

Where is AlphaType based?

AlphaType lists operations in Seattle, Washington (USA), Basel (Switzerland) and Bogotá, Colombia.

How does AlphaType develop its genetics?

AlphaType maintains a biobank called Alexandria, with data from over 1,500 coded, open-source cultivars, and applies statistical clustering and cultivar-variance analysis to identify superior candidates for its F1 hybrids.

Are the strains on this page AlphaType's current lineup?

Not necessarily. AlphaType changes its own menu of genetics every year, so some strains QCS carries here may no longer be part of AlphaType's current catalog, even though the seeds remain available from QCS while supplies last.

Does AlphaType publish lab testing or COAs for its genetics?

AlphaType tests every production batch for germination and intersex (hermie) rate and reports the results to QCS batch by batch; QCS publishes them on its seed testing page, and every batch published there passed at 98% or 100% germination, with each strain’s own batch results listed. Cannabinoid and terpene certificates of analysis for these batches are in progress and not yet published, so QCS does not present potency numbers as AlphaType-certified lab results.

Where can I see THC/CBD, flowering time and yield for a strain?

Each product listed on this page shows its own typical genetics, cannabinoid range, flowering time and yield, as reported by QCS based on grow data for that specific strain.

Is AlphaType affiliated with Quebec Cannabis Seeds?

No. QCS is an independent, Quebec-based seed bank. AlphaType is one of the outside genetics sources QCS carries seeds from; it is not owned by or formally affiliated with QCS.

Does QCS choose which genetics AlphaType breeds for this collection?

Yes, for some of the strains here. QCS selects the parent genetics and the traits it wants, and AlphaType carries out the breeding to those specifications, rather than QCS simply reselling whatever is on AlphaType's general public menu.

Laws change, so check the current law in Colorado before you germinate seeds. This is general information, not legal advice. Compare all 50 states in our US guide.

This page covers Colorado's home-grow rules and how the state's high altitude and short mountain summers affect cannabis. Adult use has been legal since 2012, with home plants kept in an enclosed, locked space.

Is it legal to grow cannabis in Colorado?

As of October 2026, cannabis is legal for adults in Colorado, following the 2012 vote. Adults may grow up to six plants each, with no more than three flowering, and local governments may cap a residence at twelve plants. Plants must be in an enclosed, locked space that is not openly visible, and the state's home-grow page says they may not be grown outdoors. Growing areas must be kept separate from minors, and Colorado's medical program also allows patients to grow.

Buying cannabis seeds online in Colorado: the federal rules

Under the federal law in force today (the 2018 Farm Bill), cannabis seeds with no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC have been treated as hemp, as the DEA said in informal letters in 2022. A new federal hemp definition takes effect on December 11, 2026, unless Congress delays it again, and it excludes viable seeds from plants above 0.3% total THC. Regulators have not yet said how they will apply it to seeds. Once a seed germinates, state law decides whether you may grow it. Read the federal section of our US guide.

Growing season and climate in Colorado

Colorado's climate is shaped by altitude: the Eastern Plains and the Front Range get warm, dry summers, while mountain valleys can see frost in late August or early September. Strong sun, low humidity and wide swings between day and night temperatures are typical, and summer hail is common along the Front Range. Because the state's home-grow page says plants may not be grown outdoors, this is background for choosing strains rather than an outdoor planting guide, and home growing in Colorado happens indoors.

Since home plants must be enclosed, compact Northern Lights Auto and the quick-flowering Quebec Early Bud and Super Critical fit Colorado's indoor home grows.

Northern Lights Autoflower – bred by QCS, autoflower, 90% indica, compact, 50–60 days
Quebec Early Bud – bred by QCS, balanced hybrid, about 20% THC, ready mid-September outdoors
Super Critical – bred by QCS, 60% indica, ready late September to early October outdoors

Harvest dates and THC figures are ranges from our strain pages, not promises: results depend on the grower, the method and the season’s weather.
