Fresh Flowers From a Fantastic 2024 Harvest at Lost Paradise Organics
The 2024 growing season has officially ended and the month of October was perfect for harvesting without precipitation or nearby fires, the climate was just perfect!
During summer time we also had great conditions and the plants thrived throughout. We grew about 3,000 sq ft in light deprivation and 2,000 sq ft in full-term outdoors.
This is our 2024 strain selection: Jelly Donutz, Orange Creampop, Granny Candy, Farmer’s Daughter, Hashsicle, Forbidden Muffin, Cookie Bread, and Jocote and Pablo’s Paradise as R&D.
With a very content heart, we can say that this is by far one of the best years in our cultivation journey. We decided to start with a perfect seed selection made of varieties that we had experience with from previous years. And as usual, we applied our natural growing methods and inputs that prove effective every year.
We have learned that this very special plant thrives with less inputs and human manipulation than with overfeeding and excessive leaf pruning, for example.
Some strains like Forbidden Muffin and Cookie Bread are our own breed; we decided to plant them in our light-deprivation greenhouse and they did amazing.
The Forbidden Muffin purple and green phenotypes are out now, available at all the OrganiCann and Solful locations.
As the year advances and the cold winter conditions are setting, our duties shift too, enjoying a more relaxed schedule than when we are in full growing season and the plants and garden duties demand our attention full time.
For now, we just finished the drying process. We put the flowers in large turkey bags and then inside black totes, this is where the curing process starts. The room temperature is kept low and we have to open the bags and totes every few days to let out any humidity that is slowly released from the stems and buds.
Then, carefully we pull out the selected batches to be hand-trimmed.
You can picture Josh and I sitting near the fire in a spacious processing room enjoying some of our favorite online shows with scissors on hand, our husband and wife trimming sessions are some of our favorite times working together. Every year at this trimming stage is when we find out how good of a job we really did growing these strains. The unveiling of this queen plant really brings excitement and joy.
Every strain is very unique, there are variances in color, trichome formation, smell, shape, and density and this is where we get to be our very own judges of our full year’s work. The next exciting part is to bring our work to the marketplace in hopes that you will enjoy smoking it as much as we did producing it for you.
Thank you so much for supporting our family farm, it is because of people like you that in 2024 Lost Paradise Organics celebrated its 6th Anniversary in the recreational cannabis market!
With love,
Josh & Yeins
