Heritage

These genetics are the culmination of 30 years of intensive breeding — crossing and selecting only the best of the best.

Licensed genetics

Cutting-edge genetics available under limited license to industry partners.

Tissue culture

With tissue culture partners, we bring award-performing craft genetics to licensed commercial partners: clean, uniform, and scalable.

Only the best plants earn another season

Mark still does the selection in the Nevada County nursery, by eye and by nose, and we only keep seed from plants that hold up. The Nevada County farm is home to our Greenshock Pheno Ranch. We pheno hunt and cross-pollinate hundreds to thousands of strains there each season. The same selections go to Mendocino County, where candy and gas both have to take the mountain weather. Two counties, two microclimates — that’s how we vet a line in research and development before it leaves as licensed genetics.

Nevada County

Pheno Ranch

This is where those hunts start — trays, seed, and the keepers we still trust. We only keep what earns another run. Our Nevada County farm's intense sun and heat provide an explosive expression of each plant's unique character.

Mendocino County

Emerald Triangle proving grounds

The same selections take a full outdoor season here, in the Emerald Triangle's cool moist air. A great test of mold resistance before being put into wide-scale production.

Tissue culture

Clean elite cuts, banked for the next grow

Tissue culture is how we take a plant we already trust and put it into a clean bank. With culture partners — Segra, Conception, and Zennetix — that cut comes out clean, uniform, and scalable: the same plant, ready for licensed commercial partners.

If you already run a licensed canopy and want a Greenshock cultivar in culture, say so on the form. Tissue culture partnerships are available alongside our seed and licensed genetics programs.

Skunk Gas flower from the official Greenshock seed listing.

Skunk Gas

Skunk Gas came out of our 2023–24 winter pheno hunt, a four-way cross of Green Lantern, Double OG Chem, Long Valley Royal Kush and '98 Super Skunk that reeked of skunk and gas from across the garden. High Times named it a June 2026 Strain of the Month for its “heavy skunk-diesel-menthol aggression,” and it anchors the Garcia Hand Picked California launch.

Purple Candy Cane

Purple Candy Cane, created by Mark in 2015, is named for its purple stalks and a Christmas-morning scent of peppermint and orange. It placed 3rd and then 2nd in Emerald Cup flower in 2015 and 2016, and it is the mother line behind Tropical Sleigh Ride.

Orange Terpentine

Orange Terpentine crosses Purple Candy Cane with Long Valley Royal Kush for a nose like fresh orange peel soaked in gasoline. It placed at the 2021 Emerald Cup in both sungrown and personal-use flower, and critic Ngaio Bealum called its deep orange creaminess his favorite new flavor of the year.

Dr Greenshock — sungrown cola on the living plant outdoors.

Dr Greenshock

Dr Greenshock is a balanced 1:1 CBD:THC original, the only CBD expression Mark found among about 100 phenotypes of Lavender × (Bubba Kush × Recon). It is myrcene-rich, smells like earthy kush, mint and eucalyptus dipped in honey, and shrugs off fall rain outdoors.
