Flower Power Genetics announced its mission to improve health and well-being by reintroducing purebred medicinal cannabis strains. This initiative seeks to restore the superior genetics originally developed by Nevil Schoenmakers, known as the “King of Cannabis,” during the 1980s.
Flower Power Genetics Preserves Nevil Schoenmakers’ Legacy
Over the past 30 years, James Krouse, the founder of Flower Power Genetics, has focused on researching, collecting, and preserving Nevil Schoenmakers’ original medical seeds. These seeds, dating back to the late 1980s and 1990s, form the foundation of Flower Power Genetics’ commitment to delivering superior genetics with significant medicinal benefits.
Authenticity Over Modern Trends
While modern cannabis breeding often emphasizes higher THC content, the company aims to maintain the authenticity and therapeutic value of original strains. By preserving a diverse array of genetics, including High Times Cannabis Cup-winning seeds and premium landrace and F1 hybrid seeds, the company seeks to offer products that retain a broad spectrum of cannabinoids essential for medicinal use.
“Comparing today’s cannabis consumption to the difference between organic food and GMOs, it’s evident that the plant is saturated with THC while other medicinal properties and cannabinoids have decreased,” said James Krouse. “Our mission at Flower Power Genetics is akin to returning to the roots of agriculture, striving to reintroduce the original, untainted essence of cannabis. We understand the urgency in restoring access to these exceptional genetics, particularly for medical marijuana patients who rely on high-quality products tailored to their specific health needs.”
Economic Benefits for Cultivators
Flower Power Genetics also presents an economic opportunity for cultivation companies. By partnering, cultivators can increase their annual gross profit by $2.5 million for every 10,000 square feet of flowering canopy space, with wholesale prices for their cannabis flower at $4,000 per pound. Krouse stated, “Our seeds offer cultivation companies the opportunity to achieve higher yields and command premium prices in the market. With wholesale prices double that of modern top-tier branded cannabis, we look forward to helping cultivators double their profits and penetrate new markets.”
Validation and Market Research
To validate the authenticity and scarcity of its genetics, the company conducted third-party laboratory testing with Steep Hill, a leader in cannabis science and technology. The results confirm the pedigree and ancestral lineage of Flower Power Genetics’ seeds, reinforcing their value and uniqueness in the market. Additionally, an in-house market research study showed that the company’s seeds’ product quality and crop yields exceeded expectations, outperforming modern cannabis strains by more than double.
