“ WE ARE
EXPANDING
OUR OPERATION ALMOST DAILY —
GROWING IS NOT A BUSINESS;
IT IS A WAY OF LIFE.”
What makes Future Genetix different
from other seed companies.
First, we are incredibly passionate
about what we do. But if you want the
details: we have strayed from the “norm”
of just taking good breeding stock and
hitting it with STS sprays to make a
feminized seed. We currently have around
140 tissue cultures in our fridge of various
terpene profiles. Once we have run DNA
testing, we can get a real visualization
of its characteristics before we head
into breeding programs. Once we have
selected our “mother” plants, we then
run each batch of genetics four times.
So, each project takes time. In fact, they
could easily take a year. This means not
only are you getting some of the hottest
genetics on the market today, you are
also getting them in a stabilized uniform
seed. That can be used for large-scale
production from day one.
Why did you start doing the
research you’re working on now?
We were searching for the perfect plant.
People often ask for indica or sativa
qualities in their seeds. What if we could
get a uniform terpene and chemical
profile across the board in one genetic?
Would it provide a complete range of
health benefits? Would it be a symphony
of flavors or too many for the palate?
We love the plants we grow but there
are always questions of “why” or
just as importantly “why not?”
I guess it’s the questions that we don’t know
the answers to that drive us to continue
doing what we do — which is bringing
out-of-this-world genetics to our fans!
Where do you distribute?
Our biggest market is in Canada
right now. It seems with everything
going on in the world today, people
have started to produce more locally.
We are also working with distributors
in several other countries to bring our
genetics abroad. For the most up to
date list I would just check our social
media @FutureGenetix or our website
www.futuregenetix.com.
What makes your employees
so awesome? How does your
team bond?
We have some of the most passionate
growers I have ever met. Everyone
works together like a perfect
machine. Combined, we have years
of knowledge and a great, strong
leadership team. Our greatest
bonding adventures take place
around a lot of great weed (that we
grow ourselves) and a couple nice
Heady Glass pieces.
I honestly can’t thank them enough
for the hard work and dedication over
the years! Love you guys and gals!
Does Future Genetix participate
in any community service?
We donate quite a bit to several
events each year. Most people in the
OG cannabis community know who
we are and when they are looking for
donations for a good cause, we are
always available to help out.
We also help run the only free
grow seminar in Ontario every
Wednesday night at Grow-Op
Hydroponics located at 1332 Bloor
St. West. Our mission is to teach
everyone how to grow their own
weed. It’s a skill we strongly believe
each person should possess. We
have around 60 students, everyone
gets a chance to learn together and
really get their hands dirty. It really
is a beautiful community of people.
The class slogan is “let’s plant it
and grow it, so we can light it and
smoke it!” That, in our opinion, is
why everyone wants to grow!
