Growing Gold in the Foothills

Discover the enchantment of Growing Gold in the Foothills with Sierra Select, a growing company nestled deep in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Since the legalization of marijuana in California, Sierra Select has blossomed into a leader in the cannabis industry. The company’s logo, featuring a flanneled miner wielding a pickax, reflects the pioneering spirit that defines its approach to cultivation.

Walking through Sierra Select’s garden is an immersive experience, with the air permeated by the unmistakable and robust grapefruit soda nose emanating from lush, full buds. The garden showcases an array of plants, including the noteworthy Squirt strain—an original variety acquired from Humboldt Seed Company. Planted in late July, these Squirt plants, part of the 2018 10k Pheno Hunt winners, stretch towards the sky, displaying vibrant fuchsia-bright hairs and producing robust buds.

Squirt, a much-anticipated Sativa strain, stands out for its high terpene count and is the result of a cross between Blueberry Muffin and Tangie. Its dynamic genetic lineage promises a functional and energetic high, with an average THC content of 20% (20% Indica, 80% Sativa). This Sativa delight is a testament to Sierra Select’s commitment to cultivating exceptional strains that capture the essence of the region’s terroir.

For growers and smokers alike, Sierra Select represents a dream come true. The company’s dedication to excellence, showcased in the carefully selected strains and meticulous cultivation practices, makes it a beacon in the heart of California’s cannabis landscape. As Sierra Select continues to thrive in the foothills, it invites enthusiasts to join the journey of Growing Gold—a celebration of premium cannabis cultivation and the rich legacy unfolding in the high-altitude beauty of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
