Chris - (Pheno) - Grow Consultant
I started out growing vegetables in my family gardens with my dad when I was four or five. That was the mid 70’s. I've had my hands in the dirt a long time.
I grew my first cannabis plants in a clearing behind my family's property, without their knowledge in 1987.
I've been an indoor and outdoor gardener for a wide range of plants, flowers and vegetables but specializing in cannabis.
Breeding Projects.
I'm a seasoned cannabis small and medium scale breeder focusing on creating unique and boutique strains. I started making my own crosses due to my disappointments with many of the strains I was growing from popular breeders in the industry. I also needed to find some plants that would thrive in my mediocre outdoor environment. So with time and effort, I succeeded in creating great strains for both indoor, greenhouse and outdoor grow environments.
Giuseppe - (Zino) - Grow Consultant
My journey began in my early 20s, born out of a simple frustration with the lack of quality cannabis available. Deciding to take matters into my own hands, my cousin and I teamed up to build my first grow room out of Sheetrock in my aunt’s garage. Armed with nothing but an HPS light, a rail rider, and a single guidebook, I taught myself the fundamentals—from seed to harvest.
After successfully producing my first crops of The Chronic, White Widow, and AK-47, I spent years in the "trial and error" phase, obsessively refining my techniques through hands-on experience. My path eventually crossed with Chris (Pheno), who helped me expand my expertise into the specialized worlds of breeding and plant morphology.
Today, Chris and I combine our decades of collective knowledge to act as lead educators. We feed off each other’s insights and shared passion to ensure you have the tools and techniques needed for your next successful growing adventure.
