Growing Gold in the Foothills

Nestled deep in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains is Sierra Select –  a young growing company that has come a long way since the legalization of marijuana in California. On the company’s logo is a flanneled miner holding a pick ax. Walking through the garden at Sierra Select, one is overcome by the super loud grapefruit soda nose emanating from the rich, full buds on either side. Isles of an original strain aptly named Squirt, planted in late July reach skyward as the plants search for the sun in the open air. The plants are known for their unique fuchsia-bright hairs and robust buds. It was procured early in the season by Sierra Select growers from Humboldt Seed Company for this year’s harvest because it was declaired one of the winners of the 2018 10k Pheno Hunt. Renowned for its high terpene count, it is a cross between Blueberry Muffin and Tangie. This much-anticipated Sativa strain offers a functional and energetic high with an AVG. THC content of 20% (20% Indica 80% Sativa). All of this makes it a grower’s and smoker’s dream.
