We believe what sets us apart from other Cannabis cultivators is our attention to the plants’ energy field and our special location. There is much more involved in raising a healthy plant than just soil, water, and light. We focus on all aspects of growth including what you can’t see.
We talk to our plants while we hand water and hand manicure each one individually. We give our plants endless love and attention so they can feel our presence. We coordinate the plant processes with the Lunar Cycle to utilize the gravitational pull that the Moon, Sun, and Planets provide. We apply the metaphysical properties of various Energetic Crystals by placing them throughout the garden, and most importantly we strongly incorporate music into the plants’ lives.
The Mountain Orchid opened their doors on 4/20/2020. Later that year, our great buddy and musician, Keller Williams, surprised our team while they were tending to the garden with a 2-hour private concert in the bloom room! It was AMAZING to say the least. Out of gratitude, we asked Keller to name this particular harvest batch. He coined it “LOVESONG.” We decided to stick with this theme and dedicate each individual harvest batch to a different professional musician friend and have them give it a unique name. It has been such a wonderful way to differentiate between the various rounds, similar to wine vintages.
The next round, we played Chris Pandolfi’s then outcoming solo album, Trancebanjo, on repeat throughout the entire Cannabis bloom cycle. He named his round after one of the album tracks, “FLAGSHIP.” We have continued to invite harvest hosts to name a harvest round and have numerous incredible names today. Every name makes me smile and is completely one of a kind!
Many of the harvest hosts have had the opportunity to come play their music in the garden and take photos. We stream the musician’s tunes throughout the blooming cycle so that the buds of each round are completely infused with that particular musician’s beats and sounds. We believe music penetrates the plants aura and incorporates in the growth of each plant. It has been an awesome musical gardening experiment. At minimum, the gardeners enjoy dancing around to each host’s soundtracks!

Our facility has speakers in every room. While the plants are in the vegetative state, we play Sanskrit Chants from the practice of Ayurveda that sing to the plants and vibrate their cells to encourage lively growth. We meditate and practice yoga around the plants to create a positive, intentional, relaxed atmosphere for them to flourish.
Our plants live in the highest incorporated Town in the Country and have access to rare, unique elements. We believe this attention to extra detail causes our plants to live happy, stress-free lives and therefore transmit positive energy when consumed by the appreciator. We are grateful for the benefits provided by the Cannabis plant and treat it with the utmost respect.
