every step matters.
growing high-grade cannabis is our mission.
Choosing our genetics is step 1 in our process.
We begin by analyzing what we hope to accomplish. Are we looking for certain cannabinoid ratios, or perhaps a unique combination of terpenes? Our genetics decisions are not based on yield. We look for “special”.
Our stable includes a mix of stellar genetics that shine through the noise of the marketplace. We balance legacy favorites like Durban Poison and Silverhawk OG with new, boutique flavor experiences such as Jam Jam and Crema d’uva.
As breeders, we’ll work years to create that one hopeful something special. Other breeders we work with share the same high standards.
Our most recent creations that made the cut (pun intended) are Jam Jam, Ottano and Crema d’uva; each truly unique.
The most recent new genetic from another breeder that excites us is Prism Oz by Tastemaker Chris Lynch at Cipher Genetics.
it begins with great genetics.
we grow in living soil.
Two common questions we hear are “isn’t all cannabis grown in soil” and “what exactly is living soil?”
The 1st question is easy. No, not all cannabis is grown in soil. Why? It’s simply easier to not grow in soil. Odd, right?
What is living soil? If you ask 10 living soil growers this question, you might get 20 answers! There’s “sorta” living soil and there’s “full-blown” living soil, with a wide range in-between. We lean towards full-blown.
Ultimately, TRUE living soil is ALIVE with all sorts of microorganisms you might not have heard of; each playing a vital role in supporting plant health and providing medical patients and recreational consumers the best experience.
we feed custom brew teas.
What in the world are custom brewed teas?
Imagine a 2 feet X 2 feet tea bag where you can customize the inputs.
Fill it with some amazing raw ingredients and brew it for 24-36 hours in a giant barrel of fresh water. When brewed properly, it comes alive and looks like a frothy Root Beer.
Our custom brewed teas are essentially created to provide the soil and plants with 4 core things; macronutrients, micronutrients, minerals and biology.
Our raw ingredients include alfalfa, bat guano, clam shells, composted fish, crab shells, dairy cow manure, earthworm castings, glacial rock dust, insect frass, molasses, kelp, oyster shells, seabird guano, shrimp shells & much more.
The soil and plants love it!
we slow cure.
Drying and curing.
Two topics always up for a good debate.
We have heard of some people wanting flower so fresh it’s barely 10 days since harvest.
We have also heard of some people wanting flower that has only been cured for at least 6 months.
We dry our flower for 2 weeks and cure for an additional 4 weeks; both in climate-controlled environments.
This slower process maintains the terpenes and flavonoids we worked so hard to earn, plus gives us ample time to hand-trim so our flower maintains its unique, visual personality versus the all too common ‘shaved’ look in the marketplace.
Win-Win in our opinion.
we manage pests organically.
Managing pests?
Yes, managing pests. Pathogens too. It’s called IPM, or Integrated Pest Management.
Bugs. Powdery Mildew. You name it. The cannabis plant is susceptible to a variety of unwanted visitors that can create undesirable outcomes.
As an indoor cultivation facility we can work hard to maintain the cleanest of environments with fancy air showers and cleanliness standards, but inevitably, additional help is required.
We deploy a combination of beneficial insects and OMRI certified foliar sprays and always try to avoid spraying past the early flower stage, when the flowers begin forming.
What is OMRI? The Organic Materials Review Institute. You can learn more about OMRI here.
