  • Natural form
  • Response to training

Vigor

  • Growth rate
  • Health throughout cycle
  • Resilience to stress
  • Root development

Resin Production

  • Trichome density
  • Early resin development
  • Coverage and consistency

Expression

  • Terpene profile
  • Aroma strength
  • Visual appeal
  • Overall quality

What We Avoid

  • Overpromising based on genetics alone
  • Claims about THC% without testing
  • Yield promises
  • Guarantees about herms

Selection Process

  1. Observe throughout entire cycle
  2. Take detailed notes
  3. Compare against other selections
  4. Run multiple times before deciding
  5. Share honest observations

Transparency

We document what we see, not what we hope to see. Selection is a process, not a guarantee.
