ROOTS & RECOGNITION
Harry Palms first rose to prominence during his time with Oni Seed Co, where he created Tropicana Cookies (Forum Cut GSC × Tangie). That cross became one of the most influential strains of the 2010s, setting a new standard for citrus-forward, resin-heavy cannabis. Tropicana Cookies’ success positioned Harry as a breeder with a sharp eye for terpene expression and extraction quality.
FROM ONI TO BLOOM
After leaving Oni, Harry launched Bloom Seed Co to establish his own independent vision. Bloom quickly grew into a trusted name in genetics, combining traditional pheno-hunting practices with a modern emphasis on solventless suitability, resin yield, and terpene layering. The shift allowed Harry to refine his breeding ethos without compromise.
SIGNATURE WORK
Bloom Seed Co’s catalog showcases both original creations and strategic crosses. Lines like Black Maple and Space Guava embody Harry’s resin-first focus. Bloom also made extensive use of the Candy Fumez clone (originally from Boston Roots), incorporating it into multiple projects. Across its library, the brand prioritizes resin-rich, terp-forward genetics that appeal to both connoisseur smokers and hashmakers.
COLLABORATION CULTURE
Bloom thrives on collaborations with other respected breeders. Notable examples include Flambanger (Flambé Mints × Sherbanger), developed with Boston Roots and released through Neptune Seed Bank EU at a premium price point, and Alpine Guava (Guava’z 62 × White Nightmare), a project with SinCity Seeds distributed via NASC. These partnerships highlight Bloom’s role in advancing global genetics through cross-pollination of ideas and cultivars.
GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION
Bloom Seed Co maintains international reach through seed banks such as Seeds Here Now, Insane Seeds, and Headstash. By ensuring wide access to its genetics, Bloom has established itself as a global player, supplying cultivators across North America and Europe with elite seeds.
POSITIONING
Bloom is frequently described in retail channels as committed to sustainable, chemical-free practices and dedicated to solventless-friendly breeding. While much of this is brand positioning rather than verified certification, it reinforces Bloom’s reputation as a breeder aligned with the craft cannabis and hashmaking communities.
LEGACY IN MOTION
From the creation of Tropicana Cookies to Bloom’s ongoing catalog of collaborative and original lines, Harry Palms remains a central influence in modern cannabis genetics. His work shaped both flavor trends and extraction standards, proving that careful pheno selection and resin-focused breeding can ripple across the global cannabis market.
