IYKYK FloraCal: Rigorously Pheno-Hunted Cannabis Genetics

Setting up shop in the hills of Sonoma County, the Duvals dedicated all of their time and effort to the craft of cannabis. They learned about every stage of the process, from seed selection to the importance of a careful harvest. Through their own cannabis research they created a brand that still maintains that same commitment to excellence. FloraCal Farms established a rigorous cultivation process centered around tailored craftsmanship that today is both respected and followed by other cultivators throughout California and beyond.

At FloraCal, “seed to shelf” is more than just a saying. It is their modus operandi. Their rigorous cultivation process begins even before the cannabis plants reach the soil. They select their cultivars based on a strict set of criteria with a priority on unique attributes and distinct sensations, above all else, as their expert cultivators carefully source them.

The philosophy of FloraCal is rooted in the belief that nature is the ultimate authority. As a result, their process is significantly influenced by the world around us. FloraCal prides themselves on practicing the generational top-tier techniques passed down from legacy framers in Northern California. These practices have long been established since growing the original and exotic weed strains during the days of the medical and traditional markets.

FloraCal’s cultivation process entails a rigorous pheno-hunting process that starts with hundreds of plants. They study each genetic variation of the cultivar to find the right expressive phenotype. All of FloraCal's flower is hand harvested, hand trimmed, and packaged to preserve delicate flower characteristics. The cultivation team then hand-selects only the winning strains to be developed into their packaged flower, pre-rolls, vapes, and hand-crafted concentrates found in FloraCal Farms’ portfolio of products.

“We’re excited about FloraCal Farms’ new flower menu,” explains Drew Duval.

“In an ever-changing market, Floracal Farms wanted to differentiate itself by bringing back legacy strains and cutting-edge exotic genetics born out of multiple pheno-hunts in the last 12-18 months.”
