About The Cover

It was the summertime in Southern Humboldt and multiple Emerald Cup award winner Jason Gelman of Ridgeline Farms was growing a few of the Humboldt Seed Co. pheno hunt winners from 2021. Good thing Erik Christiansen @erik.nugshots was on site to snap this shot of what Jason named the Poddy Mouth! The strain has made its way around the U.S. via Humboldt's seed or the original clone. Erik has become wellknown for his intricate macro photography of Cannabis flower and concentrates, and recently released a book of his favorite photographs. Be sure to visit our website, LeafMagazines.com, to see the other covers we released this month with Erik's work.
