We’ve been growing our plants for optimal health, potency, yield and terpene production since 2008.
Responding to radical shifts in the cannabis landscape, we’ve adapted our breeding program by scaling up our offerings with seeds and seedlings for large farms, while maintaining the high standards of our genetics program.
We’ve built a lab within our nursery to systematize testing and cleaning our germplasm. Using well-established tools and developing novel ones, our integrated lab solves challenges we face with our own plants. PCG continues to be on the frontlines, reshaping our collective to align with like-minded scientists, academics and experts committed to preparing our community for the immense challenges facing cannabis and its long-time stewards.
We’ve been passionately growing California’s best cannabis in our Oakland nursery. Our work draws on decades of horticultural experience shaped by the plants we’ve devoted ourselves to.
From the outlaw days to the activism of the medical scene, Oakland has been at the forefront of California cannabis. Criminalization of this magical plant and the drug war devastated our community. Rapid commercialization and industrialization of cannabis is threatening to do the same.
We are deeply committed to social justice in everything we do, from the way we run our day-to-day business, to the companies we align with to bring our products to market. We have a responsibility to right the wrongs plainly visible in the history of cannabis, as well as to resist its subsumption into a bankrupt agriculture system.
