Raw Garden Vapes & Live Resin at Wellgreens San Diego

Wine-country agriculturalists in Santa Barbara County recognized the same maritime diurnal climate that made the region a winemaking powerhouse could produce terpene-rich cannabis. The founders built a seeds-not-clones cultivation model with an in-house breeding program, proprietary sub-zero quick-cool harvest, and 100% in-house extraction — never purchasing biomass or bulk oil. They maintain one of the world's largest cannabis seed banks (>1,000 cultivars, 25M+ seeds) and have produced 20,000+ varieties through selective breeding.
