At Ethos, we elevate the cannabis conversation beyond the smoke and into the essence of what makes a truly remarkable experience. It’s a look into the heart of our cultivation process, from seed to strain, where every detail is an ode to quality and integrity.
Myrcene: The Unsung Hero
Myrcene, the most abundant terpene in our plants, acts like a conductor in an orchestra, guiding and shaping your entire sensory experience. This powerful compound is thought to help other molecules pass through the skin—enhancing both the noticeable effects and potential health benefits of cannabis. Myrcene’s presence brings additional depth and harmony to each session.
The Art of Watering
Mastering the art of watering is crucial. As cultivators, we value carefully observing the soil and the needs of our plants. Water isn’t just hydration—it’s essential for life, precisely measured to foster healthy growth while preventing harm to the roots. Like a chef seasoning a dish, we aim for the perfect balance.
The THC-CBD Tango
Inside every trichome, a precise process unfolds where THC and CBD are formed and balanced. Both compounds start from a single parent molecule called CBGa. Enzymes like THCa synthase and CBDa synthase convert CBGa into THC and CBD, respectively. The proportion is set by genetic variations controlling these enzymes. This scientific dance determines the effects and qualities of our strains, offering a unique experience for each connoisseur.
Patience is Our Virtue
Developing new strains is akin to crafting fine wine; it’s a labor of love that takes over a year. We refine, test, and perfect, committed to delivering a premium product that is not rushed by time. Every new strain is honed with care—first within the nurturing embrace of our home, then through the discerning tastes of our patients and customers.
Superior Drying & Curing
For us, drying and curing are sacred rites to preserve the plant’s essence. Cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids are developed during growth. At harvest, we aim to retain all these elements at their best. We keep the quality high using low temperatures, careful humidity, and minimal handling to protect the flower’s natural state.
Cultivation: A Symphony of Simplicity
Our cultivation philosophy is straightforward: “get out of the way of the plant.” Using proven tools like 100% LED lighting and mineral salt fertilizers, we support each plant to reach its full potential, letting its natural qualities shine. Our role is to guide, not to control, allowing nature to work its magic in every crop.
Pesticide-Free Promise
We stand by a golden rule: No pesticides touch our buds. This pledge ensures that your flower only interacts with clean air and pure light, delivering a taste profile that is as untainted as the conditions under which our plants thrive.
The Road Less Traveled in Remediation
Other cultivators may rely on remediation to correct cultivation shortcomings, but we do not. You won’t find us using irradiation or ozone gas. Instead, we take the road less traveled, promoting quality over compromise and delivering a product free from the unknown, full of intrinsic potency.
Hybrid Growing Mastery: The Best of Both Worlds
Whether it’s our advanced MA and OH indoor facilities or our bright, partly open Pennsylvania greenhouse, our focus is always on accuracy and control. The greenhouse’s clear roof and hybrid automation combine the best of sunlight and technology to create consistent, high-quality cannabis.
VIBs: Very Important Bugs
Picture thousands of helpful insects—nature’s tiny helpers—that keep our crops healthy by controlling pests. This natural method means we don’t need chemical pesticides, so our cannabis can grow strong and safely in a clean, green environment.
Curating Strains with Precision
Our strain selection process is meticulous, guided by a rigorous evaluation system. Only the elite make the cut to join our roster of strains, ensuring that every choice not only meets but also exceeds our standards. Retiring a strain is a decision made with reverence and resolve—it’s all part of our relentless quest to curate nothing but the best.
The Secret Behind Our Flavor
And let’s not forget the flavors that make each strain unique. At Ethos, we source our Troche flavors from ‘Flavor Houses,’ where scientists carefully craft the perfect profiles to complement the natural essence of our strains.
Cheers to cultivation, to blending science with sensibility, and to the pure magic of our strains. Here’s to elevated cannabis culture.
