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's own materials describe a scientific, data-driven selection process (the Alexandria biobank and statistical clustering), but we have not found a published certificate of analysis (COA) tied to individual cultivars. We do not present specific 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.

Is it legal to grow cannabis in Rhode Island?

Rhode Island legalized adult-use cannabis in 2022, and as of October 2026 adults may grow up to 3 mature and 3 immature plants per dwelling. That limit applies to the household, not to each adult. Home growers must also follow the security requirements set by the state's cannabis commission. Rhode Island's medical program allows patient home growing as well.

Buying cannabis seeds online in Rhode Island: 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 Rhode Island

The ocean keeps Rhode Island's coast and bay shores milder than inland New England, so fall frost often holds off until mid or late October there. The northwest corner, away from the water, is higher and cools off earlier. Sea air means humid nights, morning fog and dew, which raise mold risk during late flowering. Late-summer and early-fall tropical storms are another reason to favour plants that finish on time.

Quebec Cookies brings mold tolerance for the damp coast, while Super Critical and SFV OG Fast finish before the stormiest part of fall.

Quebec Cookies – bred by QCS, 70% sativa, 19–25% THC, ready late October outdoors, tolerant of common pests and mold
Super Critical – bred by QCS, 60% indica, ready late September to early October outdoors
SFV OG Fast Version – mostly indica, about 24% THC, ready mid-September 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.
