They hit the ground running in 2023, completing the buildout of their 100,000-square-foot facility in just eight months, a feat made possible due to their cumulative experience and extensive planning to secure strains and implement trusted technologies—including Fluence's advanced LED solutions.

The company's range of hand-trimmed flowers are cultivated with genetics from some of the best breeders worldwide and tailored to prioritize high potency, incredible flavor and expressive terpenes.
