Archive Seedbank: Five New Hybrids Arrive in the UK at Pure Sativa

When it comes to elite cannabis breeding, few names carry the weight of Archive Seedbank. Known for their preservation of the verified authentic versions of legendary cuts and innovative breeding projects, Archive consistently pushes boundaries while honouring old-school flavour profiles and potency.

Now, five exciting new Archive Seedbank hybrids have just landed on UK shores via Pure Sativa, giving cultivators access to improved classics and bold new flavour combinations. Let’s take a closer look at each one.

Petrochem V2 – Gorilla Glue x Moonbow #112

The return of a classic, Petrochem V2 is the updated rendition of Archive’s beloved Gorilla Glue x Moonbow hybrid.

The original Petrochem featured Moonbow #75, a Zkittlez-dominant cut that brought excellent flavour but often displayed a wide, branchy structure. For the V2 edition, Archive turned to Moonbow #112, a cut with a much more upright, vertical growth pattern perfect for indoor canopies and SOG setups.

The result?

• Higher yields

• Better colour and senescence at harvest

• Easier canopy management

• Flavour almost identical to the original

Expect a gas-heavy chem profile, leaning from skunky Gorilla Glue funk to a kush-driven rainbow belts potpourri with citrus-sprite undertones. Phenotypes that combine thick resin, Gorilla Glue gas, and fruity Moonbow complexity are the ones to hunt.

In short: Petrochem V2 is an upright, powerful chem hybrid with legendary flavour and improved cultivation traits.

Diesel Dough – Sour Diesel x Dosidos

One for the Sour Diesel connoisseurs, Diesel Dough combines the original Sour Diesel clone-only (acquired by Archive way back in 2005) with the celebrated Dosidos.

Why is this release so special? Back in the early 2000s, Sour Diesel wasn’t just a strain – it was the strain. Archive has preserved that exact original clone, using it here to create Diesel Dough, a true throwback with modern enhancements.

The Dosidos influence brings:

• Shortened flowering time

• Enlarged calyxes and resin output

• Deep purple hues in some phenos

The flavour remains classic Sour Diesel at heart, layered with notes of incense, dank OG funk, and subtle fruit.

Don’t sleep on Diesel Dough – it’s arguably the closest you’ll find to Sour Diesel in its finest original form, with added potency and production.

Crippy Killer – Face Off OG #4 x Dosidos #18

Archive has always been serious about separating cannabis myth from reality. One strain that’s been caught up in internet folklore is the so-called “Florida Crippy” – often rumoured (without evidence) to be an OG Kush parent. Archive’s answer? Crippy Killer.

As breeder Fletcher explains: “RIP the fake crippy. Praise the real Crippy.”

Built from Face Off OG #4 x Dosidos #18, Crippy Killer is a direct descendent of Archive’s proven Face Off and Dosidos work, aimed squarely at OG and kush lovers.

Expect:

• Dense, resin-stacked buds

• Potent OG Kush backbone

• Funky Face Off IX and Dosidos character

Fans of Face Off IX, Face Off x Dosidos #18, or Dosidos #22 will find themselves right at home. Crippy Killer is bold, authentic, and Archive’s definitive stamp on an internet legend.

Dolato – Gelato #41 x Dosidos

Archive’s Dolato blends Gelato #41 with Dosidos, creating a modern staple that ticks every box.

The Dosidos influence here does serious work:

• Shortens flowering time

• Enhances resin production

• Swells calyx size for chunky buds

Flavour and aroma lean towards a soft Sour Diesel profile, layered with hints of purple fruit, incense, and OG funk. The result is both nostalgic and refreshing – a true connoisseur’s hybrid that balances bag appeal with production.

Dolato is one of those strains that has become a go-to for growers looking for reliability without sacrificing terpene richness.

Dark Dosi – Dosidos #22 x Dark Rainbow

Finally, we have Dark Dosi, a pedigree strain crafted around Dosidos #22 – the “darkest” of the original Dosidos genotypes. Known for its slender structure, dense OG-like buds, and purple streaks, Dosidos #22 has long been a fan favourite.

By pairing it with Dark Rainbow pollen, Archive has layered in Moonbow fruitiness and an intriguing chem-skunk backend. The result is a flavour explosion:

• Blackberry jam and currant upfront

• Heavy halitosis chem funk on the finish

• A balance of candy sweetness and gas/skunk power

Dark Dosi delivers consistent yields, rich colour, and a terpene profile that satisfies both fruit-lovers and old-school gas heads. A hybrid of depth, complexity, and serious potency.
