▲ A new historic milestone in Missouri ’ s Cannabis Industry was reached last month as this photo documents the first harvest from a licensed micro grower / processor . Blume LLC gave The EVOLUTION Magazine and Altered Focus Studios exclusive access to macro photograph the state ’ s first micro grow harvest . This marks a new era of boutique micro grows , which ultimately means fewer hands on those beautiful trichomes shown here before they get into yours . We will keep a close eye on the Micro Industry next year , as well as on those awesome trichomes !
▲ The home-growing cannabis community continues to thrive in Missouri thanks to local cannabis advocates and enthusiasts like Jesse Oxford ( on right ) with Kindway Farms , who continue hosting educational events and local grow competitions like the November 9th Common Ground Fair in Columbia , MO . Morgan Seaman ( on left ) organized the fair ’ s Missouri Craft Growers Cup portion . See this year ’ s Missouri ’ s Craft Growers Cup winners at www . missouricraftgrowerscup . com .
