Purple City Genetics is an Oakland-based collective known for breeding and cultivating California's best cannabis phenotypes. Our genetics program is shaped by a deep connection to the plant and a knowledge base that is informed by California’s best growers and producers. We’ve been growing our plants for optimal health, potency, yield, and terpene production since 2008. We operate at the center of California’s cannabis movement by maintaining a passionate cultivation practice that expresses the full-spectrum diversity of cannabis genetics – our cultivation practice has produced some of the best emergent strains and highest quality genetics available. Through an evolving and connected practice, we’ve learned to honor the plant’s heritage while contributing to the future development of cannabis. Responding to the radical shifts in the cannabis landscape we’ve adapted our breeding program by scaling-up our offerings with seeds and seedlings for large farms. Growth can often come at the expense of quality. Therefore maintaining the quality of our genetics program is essential as we tackle the increase in demand. We’ve built a lab within our nursery in order to standardize the testing and cleaning of our germplasm. We’re reshaping our collective to align with like-minded scientists, academics and experts who are equally committed to preparing our community for the immense challenges cannabis and their long-time stewards face – our collective vision extends beyond 2020.
