BLOOMS & BLOSSOM By Melissa Hall, M.Ed.

ack at it again, and with Spring sneaking upon us, we anticipate the longer and warmer days the new season brings with it. With Spring comes the renewal of life and starts the cycle of new growth. As we see new growth everywhere on the Cannabis circuit, every run is filled with new Cultivators and new Cultivars, and the vast variety is quite outstanding. So many new strains, so many great grows. But, not all grows are the same. There are the few, the proud, the true small batch craft growers that always stand out among the crowd. So when I thought of small batch craft quality, many came to mind but I knew exactly which cultivator I would select for The March Review. Blooms and Blossom Farms is doing small batch craft quality flower and single source hash rosin right. Perhaps the best definition of a craft product is cannabis that has been carefully tended to with handson attention, using specific techniques in order to maximize its potential. That means harvested by hand and trimmed and cured by hand. Further, craft cannabis cannot be replicated on a large scale. Craft cannabis in fact does come in small batches, is organic, and is grown in an environmentally friendly way. It is also cultivated to maximize the yield because there is limited space to grow.

This is all done in order to have the strongest terpenes possible, the highest potency, the best look, and various other attributes that ensure a superior bud and optimal experience. The Chronic recently got a chance to talk to the owner of Blooms and Blossom Farm and to try their new strain of small craft grown Pure Michigan. A stunning cross of Oreoz and Mendo Breath. The bag appeal is insane and the aroma and flavor are appealing to any Cannabis lover, the effects are instant and heavy and the attention to detail is absolutely outstanding with the trim and cure of this true craft quality growth. The Chronic: What medium do you use to grow? What sets your flower apart from other top shelf flowers? B&B: We use coco as our growing medium. Our flower was grown with love. We give every single plant the attention it deserves throughout the whole life cycle. We do daily inspections of our plants, check readings inside the medium, and really listen to the plant to learn what it needs. We also don't run “3.0 E.C+” programs or aim for extremely high yields. For us it's all about finding the right balance between quality before quantity with these plants to provide true small batch, boutique flowers. This deflects in our mission statement, “We grow the best meds we can and offer the best prices to patients. Its simple: #Passionatelygrown.
The flower speaks for itself when people see, smell, and try it.`` The Chronic: What does the future hold for Blooms and Blossom Farms? B&B: We are aiming to be one of the best farms in the state that consistently provides nothing but the best products. Because we are a small batch, we are only adding one or two more strains, we are pheno hunting, to the lineup in the near future. Besides our top-shelf flower, we just released our first rosin line with two strains under our processing license (Blooms and Blossom Extracts). We are also waiting back on our newest project coming up in a few months, prerolls. The Chronic: What does the phrase true small-batch craft flower mean to you? B&B: We are a perfect example of what true small-batch craft flower means. It's a flower that is grown specifically for quality. It's a flower that is grown with meticulous care and has everyone wanting to show off the flower to all their friends and loved ones. It means focusing on the little things the plant needs to thrive, day in and day out. It's a flower that is grown not for large yields and profits, but for the love for the plant itself. It's a flower that is trimmed delicately by hand. Thank you so much to Blooms and Blossom Farms for giving us an exclusive look at their true small-batch craft flower. If you see their flower or Rosin on a dispensary shelf, grab it quickly and it never lasts long! Always remember to medicate responsibly and Stay Lit Oklahoma.
