Seeded in Sophistication

Quality Genetics

Cultivation starts with the selection of only the highest quality genetic stock to ensure the most consistent, uniform, robust plants. This offers a unique set of traits and characteristics from aesthetics, flavor and aroma allowing us to use quality and new genetic offerings to separate from competitors.

Data-Driven Decisions

Data and analytics are essential when developing optimal strategies at each stage of production. Comprehensive, detailed data collection is at the foundation of our cultivation operation. We use data to develop our best-practice cultivation strategies geared towards achieving consistent, uniform, quality production at each step in the process.

Cultivar Standardization

We strive to standardize operational practices using detailed documentation, in-depth hands-on employee training, and establishment of “best-practice” strategies to ensure a consistent, uniform cultivation model to facilitate the continuous production of quality flower. Each cultivation process is standardized to individual cultivars to ensure every plant is provided the consistent specialized care it needs to succeed.

Individual Care

When it comes to top tier flower, it’s all about the details. That’s why we cultivate a multitude of genetically unique cultivars to ensure that we produce top-tier flower while maintaining operational efficiency. We nurture our crops to receive the individual care they need while maximizing quality and yield – be it environmental preferences, specialized irrigation or fertigation recipes – and each plant is grown in a tailored, stress free environment designed to meet the individual needs of each cultivar.
