Genetic differences exist within every species. Selective pressures mean that certain genetic features may be more or less advantageous depending on an organism's environment. Through NATURAL SELECTION the genetic makeup of a species will change over time to favor more advantageous traits.
When humans select for certain traits which we consider desirable, we call it ARTIFICIAL SELECTION. Dog breeds are a good example of this process. In cannabis, we call this process PHENO HUNTING.
During the pheno hunt, our cultivators plant hundreds of seeds from a given cultivar [a.k.a. strain]. Each of these seeds contains slightly different genetic material and will respond in slightly different ways to its environment, thereby producing hundreds of individual phenotypes of that cultivar. Ritual cultivators then evaluate each phenotype (each individual plant) for desirable traits.
The most desirable traits in flower that will be dried for smoking or vaporization are different from the traits we look for in flower that will be washed and pressed into hash rosin.
The genetic makeup of an organism. An organism's DNA.
No two organisms are genetically identical except monozygotic twins or cloned genetic material.
An organism's outward appearance. The expression of its genes within its environment.
GENOTYPE + ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS = PHENOTYPE
A select group of plants belonging to the same species with specific, distinguishable traits.
In cannabis, a cultivar is often referred to as a STRAIN.

When humans select for certain traits which we consider desirable, we call it ARTIFICIAL SELECTION. Dog breeds are a good example of this process. In cannabis, we call this process PHENO HUNTING.
During the pheno hunt, our cultivators grow hundreds of plants from a given cultivar (strain). Each of these seeds contains slightly different genetic material and will respond in slightly different ways to their environment, thereby producing hundreds of phenotypes of the given cultivar. Cultivators then evaluate each phenotype for desirable traits.
Our cultivators are continuously hand-selecting the best of the best in their pheno hunt, so we can grow Utah flower that's A CUT ABOVE.
Trichomes are the primary site where cannabinoids like THC are synthesized and stored. Denser trichome coverage generally indicates more potent flower.
The natural terpenes produced by cannabis plants have outsized impact on the type of effect that flower will provide.
Terpenes are aromatic compounds, so the aromas of a plant give our expert cultivators an early idea of the plant's likely effects.
The effects of a cannabis flower go far beyond its THC content.
Minor cannabinoids, terpenes, the visual and aromatic experience, and more all contribute to a user's experience. Our cultivators seek flower that will deliver a premium, holistic experience.
Cultivars are select groups of plants which carry specific, distinguishable traits.
All cannabis plants belong to the same species, but human curation has led to distinct cultivars, or strains, developing over time. No two plants are ever identical, even those belonging to the same cultivar.
Our cultivators are continuously selecting the best of the best using the pheno hunting process, enabling them to grow Utah flower that's a cut above the rest.
Genotype describes the genetic makeup of an organism, while phenotype describes its outward appearance.
An organism’s phenotype, or appearance, is determined partly by its genetics and partly by its environment.
GENOTYPE + ENVIRONMENT = PHENOTYPE
Pheno hunting is a cultivation process to identify and select only the finest cuts of a specific cultivar, sometimes called a strain.
No two plants are quite alike, even those grown from the same seeds and under the same conditions. To hunt for the best phenotypes, a single cultivar’s seeds are planted hundreds or even thousands of times, enabling dedicated cannabis curators to hand select the individual plants (or phenos) that present the most favorable traits.
This process can take months or years to get to the finest cuts of flower for a specific cultivar.
