I had been arranging this interview since the beginning of 2025, knowing that our market was awaiting the release of amazing new products from Pyramid Seeds. However, our meeting with Mark was constantly postponed. Now I think—it was fate. It turned out to be very symbolic, don't you think?
The official launch of three new Pyramid Seeds collections took place on the cannabis industry's main holiday—.
— Hi, Mark! So, shall we get straight to the point?
— Hi! Yes, finally, we've met. Well, I'm ready. Ask away!
— In the spring of 2025, Pyramid Seeds introduced three new seed collections. And these aren't just new strains! These are new lines that weren't previously in your assortment! Tell us, how did the idea come about?
— Yes, this is indeed a special moment for our entire team. The idea had been maturing for quite some time. We've been observing how the market evolves, how growers' priorities change, and how there's a growing demand for a more conscious approach to selecting genetics.
We were inspired by the people we interact with—beginners seeking simplicity and stability; experienced growers craving powerful crosses with deep terpene profiles; and true enthusiasts wanting to experiment, crossbreed, and create something of their own.
That's why we decided: it's time to take a step further. Not just to add new strains, but to think about what's truly missing. Thus, these three collections were born—as a result of dialogue with our clients, as a reflection of the passion with which we approach our work.
We divided our ideas into three clear lines—Gold Line, Fast Line, and Regular Line. This isn't just something new—it's a slice of our philosophy.
For us, it's more than just business. We believe that good genetics are not the endpoint but the beginning of a journey. Our goal is to provide the grower not just with a seed, but with the opportunity to unlock their potential, to feel the joy of a result achieved not by chance, but through the right choice.
So yes, behind each of these collections is a real story—and we're very proud to finally share it.
— Let's start with the most prominent new release—Gold Line. What makes it special?
— Gold Line is a limited series where we've combined the best American genetics, such as Runtz, Cookies USA, or Gorilla Glue, with our European genetics hits like Tutankhamon and Galaxy. The result is strains with amazing flavor, potency, and stability. This is our tribute to modern cannabis: impressive plants with extreme THC levels and an unforgettable aesthetic.
— Looks like this is your new flagship?
— It’s definitely our most refined release: a blend of old-school genetics with modern trends. We’ve created powerful hybrids — vibrant, aromatic, and visually striking.
Funny story: when we were testing one of the Galaxy x Sunset Sherbet phenotypes, one of the breeders said, “it’s like a UFO landed on a cake,” because of the wild creamy and fruity aromas. We almost named it “UFO Cake” — but ended up choosing a more serious name ?
— By the way, the new Gold Line packaging in black and gold looks really stylish. Does it symbolize something?
— Yes, we spent a long time discussing the design — and honestly, we argued more than once ?
In the end, we went with the black and gold palette because it best represents the idea behind the collection: limited, elite, premium quality. Gold stands for the value of the genetics inside, and black reflects the precision and consistency of our breeding.
— So is Fast Line kind of a middle ground between autos and photos?
— Exactly. These are photoperiod strains with a shortened flowering time. We see that many growers care not only about power, but also about speed. Fast Line lets you harvest after just 45–50 days of flowering, without sacrificing aroma or potency. It’s a great option for both indoor growers and those living in regions with short summers.
— In the era of autoflowers, you’re releasing something that’s not auto? Bold move!
— What do you mean “era of autoflowers”? We have a strong collection of autos. But trust me, there are many growers who prefer working with feminized photoperiod strains.
Fast Line is ideal for those who want to shorten the grow cycle to the minimum, but still keep the flavor, bud density, and genetic depth — which some autos might lack.
Flowering starts from 45 days, but the effect is 100% photoperiod.
It’s not a marketing trick — it’s true breeding work.
— Okay, but how did you decide which genetics to include in the collection?
— We focused on the needs of growers in countries with cold climates and short summers — like Canada, Austria, and Eastern Europe.
They were looking for photoperiod strains they could grow outdoors safely, without compromising on effect or aroma.
They also told us which genetics were their favorites. That’s how the selection was made.
Fast Line is our answer to their demand: the speed of autos, the depth of photoperiods. Right now, it’s one of the most universal and sought-after segments.
— Speaking of demand, that leads us smoothly to the next question. You also released regular seeds. Regular Line — sounds nostalgic. Why now?
— Because the market has forgotten about regular seeds. Everyone chases convenience, but we see real interest from growers, breeders, and collectors.
Some want to create F1 hybrids, others want to return to the roots.
We released 9 legendary strains — Galaxy, Anubis, Amnesia Gold, Cookies USA, and others — in their original, stable form.
It’s rare. And it’s for those who truly understand what they’re working with.
— Wasn’t it risky to invest so much time and effort in this?
— This is our contribution to the evolution of breeding. Many brands forget about classic regular seeds because they’re harder to sell. But we receive a lot of requests from breeders and enthusiasts who specifically want male and female plants — for creating F1 hybrids or working with "pure" genetics. We give them that tool, using our proven strains.
— Today is the official release of the three collections. But had you already presented them before?
— Yes! We introduced the European selection of the Fast Line and Regular Line at Spannabis 2025 — and it was deeply symbolic.
It was the last time the Barcelona fair took place, and it became an emotional moment for us.
We didn’t just showcase new releases — we said goodbye to an entire era of cannabis culture in Barcelona. The atmosphere was incredible, and we felt like we were doing something truly meaningful.
— You’re from Barcelona, right?
— Yes.
— So, where can we find you next?
— There are still many expos around the world. In June, for example, we’ll be in Berlin.
— Will you launch the collections there too?
— Yes, we’ll present all three collections there as well — this time in their full format.
— By the way, why wasn’t the Gold Line presented at Spannabis?
— Thanks for asking that. We really wanted to present the Gold Line at Spannabis — it’s a very special collection for us. But… sometimes life has other plans.
— The thing is, all the visual design of our collections — the packaging, design elements, the whole vibe — has been created for many years by one person. He’s not just a designer. He’s our friend, someone who writes the story of the brand with us, someone who deeply understands every idea and mood we want to express. He literally brings our concepts to life — makes them visible, real, relatable.
Unfortunately, shortly before the trade show, he faced serious health issues. So we made the only decision we could — to pause the Gold Line visuals and wait. We couldn’t and didn’t want to hand this project to someone else. It wasn’t just a design matter — it was about respect, friendship, and emotional connection. And it was important for him, too, to be part of this limited collection. It’s not just a job — it’s a piece of himself.
So we decided: better late but done right. Not launched at the trade show, but with the warmth and attention to detail we put into every release. Gold Line deserved to see the light exactly the way we imagined it.
— I believe this is the first time you've enabled a pre-order feature on the website?
— Yes. Actually, it was our customers' idea. They saw the first descriptions in early March — and asked us to open pre-orders because they understood the release was limited and these strains might be hard to find later.
And now, after 1.5 months of waiting, the first packs are already reaching the lucky ones. We’re receiving messages of thanks — and that’s the best reward.
— And yet your prices remain quite affordable. How do you manage that?
— We barely invest in aggressive marketing. We don’t have a bunch of ambassadors or run monthly campaigns costing thousands of euros.
We invest in genetics, selection, and stability. That means our customers are paying for real results — not flashy ads.
We’ve been working this way for almost 20 years. And we still have clients who’ve been with us since the beginning. We talked about that in our previous interview.
— Do you follow your competitors? What do you think of the current market?
— We keep an eye on it — but not on the “loud” brands that just repackage ready-made genetics and spend big on marketing. That doesn’t interest us.
We’re genuinely curious about old-school breeders — those who continue developing genetics, doing true selection work, with respect for the plant.
There aren’t many of them, but they are the ones who move cannabis culture forward. We see them not as competitors, but as colleagues.
We share the same goals — quality, stability, and genetic value — not just pretty packaging and catchy slogans.
— What would you say to the shops and partners already working with Pyramid Seeds?
— I’d say: this is the perfect time to expand your catalog. The new collections give you a chance to stand out, attract new customers, and offer something your competitors don’t have.
We’ll support you with all the materials: posters, catalogs, banners. And of course, we’re always here to help.
— And for those who don’t work with you yet?
— Are there still any? (laughs) Just kidding. Send an email to our sales team at contact@pyramidseeds.com. Our managers will help you place your first order.
— By the way, which strain from the three new lines was the very first to be purchased on the website? Any idea?
— Are you kidding? Of course I know. It was the mix of two legends: Tutankhamon x Cookies USA from the Gold Line. And it's still holding first place. Second is Tutankhamon Fast, and third — Black Cherry Punch Regular.
— I remember you’re not into aggressive marketing, but do you have any special perks for returning customers?
— Absolutely! We’ve launched a new loyalty program — "Top of the Pyramid".
It’s a reward system where gifts depend on your total annual order amount. The higher you climb the “pyramid,” the better the bonuses: from free seed packs to exclusive merch.
This is especially appreciated by bulk buyers: if you order 1000-seed packs, you can jump straight to the top level and receive rewards from all tiers. It’s our way of saying “thank you” for your trust.
— How convenient do you think online shopping is these days compared to offline?
— I think it’s incredibly convenient now. Ordering from our official website is super easy — the full catalog is available with detailed descriptions and filters by seed type, effect, yield, etc.
You can pay by card via Fibonatix or by bank transfer. It’s secure, we operate legally, and the transaction will show the recipient as Travel Nostrum.
Shipping options include delivery to a postal office or directly to your door.
And of course, free shipping from €50 — full details are on the site.
Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident from the moment you order until your seeds arrive.
After your order is shipped, you’ll receive an email asking for feedback about your experience. As a thank-you, you’ll get a 10% discount on your next order. Plus, your review will enter the contest for best review of the month.
— And what can I win?
— Place an order and find out. All details are sent to customers after completing the feedback survey.
— I guess I’m getting old. I like walking into a growshop, browsing the shelves, chatting with the seller…
— Well… (laughs). You can do all of that online now. We recently launched a live chat on our website — it's still in beta. But even if our team is offline at the moment, we’ll still respond — and you’ll get the answer in your inbox.
Plus, in a physical growshop, you only see the packs — not other growers’ experiences. We’re now integrating GrowDiaries, so you’ll be able to view grow reports with our strains directly on the product pages.
So hey, if you grow our strains — contact our representative. They’ll add your report and answer any questions you may have.
By the way! We also have a Telegram account. You can message us there too.
— Telegram?
— Yep. In fact, we run several channels in different languages, since we have customers all over the world: Spanish, English, German, Portuguese, and Russian.
We used to mainly publish on Instagram, but unfortunately we’ve been increasingly facing blocks and restrictions — posts vanish, stories don’t show. You’ve probably noticed that yourself. In our sector (especially for European companies), this happens a lot.
That’s why we switched to Telegram. In our channels we share updates, launch promos, post real-life photos from followers and… we give away seeds!
For example, right now any subscriber can win strains from our Fast Line — just join the channel in your language (Spanish, English, or German), subscribe and hit the “Participate” button.
— Are you planning to return to Instagram?
— Absolutely! We have many friends, partners, and followers there, and we really value that community.
Right now we’ve had a brief technical pause on Instagram, but we’re slowly coming back — and of course we’ll bring back giveaways and promos just like before.
So if you’re not following us yet — go do it now so you don’t miss any news or bonuses.
And we’ll be waiting for you on Telegram too: it’s lively, fun, and feels like family.
— And finally: what’s your personal favorite collection?
— (laughs) Tough question. But I’d say Gold Line is our flagship. We put our soul into it. Though all three collections are our pride. Try them — and you’ll understand.
“Our mission is to create real value, not just a pretty package.”
