We are not new to cannabis; we are simply breeders of many NEW and unique cultivars. Here at our home of magnificent mountain vistas, lakes, and fresh crisp air, we have been, and still are known for our cannabis cuttings from which our roots first emerged. After years of considerable acquaintance with the finest cannabis cultivars around, it became a natural progression for us to evolve into the cannabis breeding industry. Given the calcified specter of prohibition, we have had to operate quietly in the shadows for some time now. However, our seeds have found gardens in far-reaching places, wherever growers and patients pursue the cultivation of quality medicine. From such customers that have reflected their experiences back to us, we can confirm the inherent genetic quality of our seeds, giving us validation from not only these long-term customers, but from fellow cannabis breeders as well. Our customer satisfaction and the loyalty engendered by such give us humble pause.Breeding quality genetics requires time. We reject more cultivars — no matter the hype — if it does not meet, in our humble opinions, our standards. Then, there’s the matter of stabilizing crosses — very much a quality control mandate. Many breeders might skip these methods as these add to costs. Then, there’s the desire (quick profit motivation?) of wanting to be first-to-market, for what that matters. Not us. We breed with only our tried and true, best performing varieties. We continue to pursue our breeding endeavors today with a forward thinking mindset and industry improving practices.
Golden Soda is a stellar cross of a Golden Goat mother and a Huckleberry Soda father. A while back we bred Huckleberry Soda specifically for our breeding endeavors. We used our favorite strain of all time: the legendary Black Cherry Soda, in hope that it would pass on the same desirable traits… and it did! So, we used that stud of a male to pollinate Golden Goat, which has remained one of the top 5 selling strains in Colorado for the past few years. We sourced our cut of it from a breeder who brought it with him from Kansas and bestowed this gem of a cutting on the agreement that we keep it close. For that trust are we ever so glad that we added it to our garden because it has, indeed, lived up to all the hype surrounding its name!It was our intention in breeding the Golden Goat and Huckleberry Soda together to improve the already generous yield of both parents, to reinforce the sturdy structure, and to introduce some color to the resulting progeny. After growing out the seeds, we were stoked to see that we had produced all the traits that we had hoped. The most common phenotypes of this union are indica dominant plants that are squat, bushy, of such structural integrity, and awash in colors. The buds showcase qualities derived from both parents beginning with the glowing, golden hues derived from the Golden Goat mother, while the Huckleberry Soda father contributes bright fuschia blotches to the canvas of the conically shaped buds. There is also a sativa leaning phenotype found in these seeds that is unlike the other phenos, and which, somehow, shows little resemblance to either of its parents. The sativa pheno yields about average while the indica leaning phenos yields are large to extra large.While both parents of this cross possess lingering aromas, it is rather surprising that the progeny emits both mild citrus and vanilla scents that re most pronounced during weeks 5-7 of the flowering cycle. ended up with only a mild citrus, vanilla scent which is most pronounced during weeks 5-7 of the flowering cycle. If you’ve ever though that Gold Goat could benefit from some color… we present our Golden Soda!
