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. 'We were intentional about using LEDs right off the bat because of the energy cost savings, the size of our facility and initiatives at the state level to reduce energy use,' Mursinna said. 'Fluence was the tried-and-true partner we were looking for.' Since its inception, King City Gardens has emphasized craft cannabis at scale. 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.

They've also seen substantial increases in THC content from 25% to 35% and improved terpene content—reaching up to 6.57%. 'The team is doing everything right.
