Archive Seed Bank is a Portland, Oregon cannabis-genetics company known for preserving hard-to-source clone-only cultivars and turning them into documented seed lines. It sells regular and feminized seeds, keeps a public strain library, and runs community and wholesale programs for growers who track parentage.
Fletch and the preservation mission
The breeder Fletch is the public figure behind Archive. Leafly calls him “The Librarian” for his genetic archives and describes a working method of sourcing premium parent stock and selecting from large populations. His stated mission is to “preserve the historical, counterculture quality of the cannabis revolution.” A backcrossed Face Off OG male sits at the center of much of that work, making clone-only material reproducible through seed.
Dosidos
Archive's most consequential release is Dosidos, bred by Fletch in 2012 from Face Off OG BX1 and OG Kush Breath. Leafly named it the 2021 Strain of the Year. It became a foundational chassis for other breeders: ThugPug used it to make Peanut Butter Breath, In-House Genetics crossed it into Slurricane, and Fletch's own Moonbow pairs it with Zkittlez.
The current catalog
The shop is organized into feminized seeds, regular seeds and hybrid families: Dosidos, Face Off OG, Moonbow 112, Planet Purple, Dark Rainbow and the Flavor Pack Line. A strain library documents historical releases alongside what is currently in stock.
Seed formats
Regular seeds preserve male and female variation for breeding and phenotype hunting. Feminized seeds are bred to produce female plants.
Clone Club, community and wholesale
Beyond seed sales, Archive runs a Clone Club membership, a Discord server and a forum at forum.archiveseedbank.com, offers wholesale accounts and sells merchandise. Its current store policy limits shipping to U.S. states where seed sales are permitted.
Archive separates its historical strain library from inventory that can actually be ordered. In September 2026, the catalog contained far more sold-out or coming-soon entries than in-stock packs. The lineage archive is useful for studying parentage, while each product listing separately shows whether a pack can be ordered.
Reading lineage information
Archive displays parent names directly in the catalog for many releases. Regular and feminized describe the seed format, while the listed parents describe the cross. Neither label guarantees a single finished expression: growers can still see variation, and germination, sex expression, plant traits and legal cultivation rules require separate consideration. The company also keeps older releases in the strain library, preserving breeding context even when they are not for sale.
Community activity in 2026
Archive's community forum showed active grow logs, competition entries and genetics discussion through September 2026. Recent topics included Archive releases and freebie crosses, with dated activity visible on the forum index. User posts capture grower experiences and discussion; they are not independent laboratory testing or company product claims.
Availability and shipping
Seed availability, destination rules and fulfillment terms can change. Archive publishes region and shipping information through its store, but buyers remain responsible for the laws that apply where they live and grow. The current product page, checkout eligibility and direct support channel are more useful than an older article or cached price. Clone Club, wholesale and merchandise are separate programs and should not be confused with ordinary seed-pack availability.
