Partners & Products
Grow Op Farms
Grow Op Farms is a WA i502 producer-processor that farms copious amounts of top-shelf cannabis here in Washington State. They pride themselves on the quality of their products and service. The Phat Panda line is a result of their state-of-the-art growing facility and the use of perfected growing techniques, executed by an amazing team.
Phat Panda Flower
One of Phat Panda’s most popular strains to date is their Golden Pineapple. This potent sativa-dominant hybrid will leave you feeling euphoric and highly productive. In addition, the aroma is fruity and light with a taste of tropical citrus that you’ve never experienced from cannabis before. Golden Pineapple delivers a high that’s physically energizing and mentally tranquilizing. This mood-elevating blend of Golden Goat and Pineapple Kush is great for smoking just about any time of day. Be sure to give these nugs a good whiff, the smell is sure to blow you away!
Platinum Line Flower
If you’re looking to shell out a little more for some top-shelf flower, consider picking up some Wedding Cake from Phat Panda’s Platinum Flower line. This indica-leaning hybrid descends from Triangle Kush and Animals mints to capture the senses with its berry-sweet flavors and intoxicating terpenes. Wedding Cake induces euphoric creativity on the first toke before it gently descends into a sedative, soothing body melt.
Fire Cracker Infused Pre-roll
Firecrackers are ultimately potent pre-rolls. These joints deliver an entire gram of flower rolled up and painted with potent distillate oil then get finished off by getting rolled through kief. As a result, these pre-rolls are as potent as it gets and are perfect for bringing to the smoke circle.
Sticky Frog
Sticky Frog dabs are all Phat Panda nug runs for superior quality, taste, and texture. This line includes their premium disposable vape device, ultra-precise concentrate syringes, and shatter. These extracts are processed in the Phat Panda facility.
Panda Pen
Panda Pens are premium disposable cartridges filled with Sticky Frog’s high-quality and ultimately flavorful distillate. These pens are packed with cannabinoids and terpenes, with THC levels that reach over 90% and even CBD levels near 5%. They also tote an incredibly flavorful distillate that you can smell before you even take a drag.
On a personal note, I am obsessed with these cartridges. The taste and smell of their Super Lemon Haze, Tropical Trainwreck, and Granddaddy Purple are particularly out of this world. The Super Lemon Haze is astoundingly sweet and citrusy with a flavor that reminds me of Sprite. The fan-favorite of many, Tropical Trainwreck, is incredibly fruity and sweet like a strawberry Starburst. Lastly, one that I found uniquely tasty, is the Grandaddy Purple. This one wasn’t sweet like the previous two. Instead, it carried the incredible taste and smell of basil-y hash. These pens also provide an incredible high thanks to the broad spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes present in the distillate.
Live Resin Terp Sugar
Sticky Frog’s Hi-Terp Sugar is produced by washing glistening THCA crystals in an equal amount of terpenes, resulting in a sparkly sugar-like consistency. You can easily scoop it up for a smooth dab, or load it into your favorite vaping device for a euphorically elevating experience. Their extraction process preserves the plant’s naturally-occurring full-spectrum terpenes, so each tasty terpene comes directly from premium Washington-grown cannabis.
Syringe
A full gram of premium distillate is packed into Sticky Frog’s easy-to-use syringe. Load it into your vaporizer, take it as a dab, or use it as a bowl topper! In addition, thanks to the already activated THC, there is no need to de-carb if you want to add it to your favorite dish and turn anything into an edible!
Flav
Flav is an edible product line that is committed to delivering the best of the best to its consumers. They are constantly evaluating the quality of their products from seed to sale with their state-of-the-art laboratory equipment.
Rainbow Belts
Discover mouthwatering bliss with Flav’s line of cannabis-infused belts. These sugarcoated belts don’t just taste great, they also provide a uniquely euphoric snacking experience. So, if you’re a fan of classic sour belt candies, you have to try these Rainbow Belts.
Dabstract
Dabstract has been producing cannabis oils since 2000 in California and has since expanded its operation to include a lab in the same facility as Phat Panda here in Washington. All of their products contain nothing but pure cannabis. Dabstract is marked by an uncompromising commitment to their craft, a higher standard of quality and integrity, and a passion for innovation and staying on the industry’s cutting edge. They offer a variety of concentrates for cannabis connoisseurs like live resin, terp sugar, gems & juice, and so much more.
Cartridge
Dabstract’s high potency cartridge is one of the most powerful on the market. This pre-filled cartridge is full of flavor and highly effective thanks to the High Terpene Extract that is blended with high THC or CBD-activated distillate oil. Easily attach the cart to your favorite vape battery; the heating of the oil releases the active ingredients into a fine mist to inhale.
Live Resin
Live Resin is a carefully crafted concentrate made exclusively from freshly frozen cannabis. At Dabstract, their plants are harvested, immediately frozen, and then extracted into an oil, skipping the curing and drying phase. Skipping these phases prevents the possible destruction of trichomes and therefore preserves the THC and terpene content of the plant. This lends itself to an ultimately potent and flavorful experience.
Gems & Juice
This premium cannabis concentrate contains “naturally” formed THCa crystalline concentrate (gems) suspended in a strain-specific high terpene extract (juice). The result is a balance of potency and flavor that’s sure to please your senses. Gems & Juice is extracted from freshly harvested, frozen plant material. In addition, this glistening and juicy combination has nothing added, reintroduced, or altered and demonstrates the full natural spectrum of freshly harvested cannabis.
Hot Sugar!
Hot Sugar is another edible line that uses proprietary THC-infused sugar to create exciting edibles that help you reach higher heights. For instance, some of the tasty treats they make include Panda Candies, Fruit Drops, Fruit Chews, and Chocolate Bites.
Panda Candies
Panda Candies deliver the juicy, long-lasting flavor that’s to be expected in a hard candy. In addition to being ultimately flavorful, these candies will pack a punch and send you soaring with 10mg per candy. They come in a variety of flavors from Lemon Pothead to Butterscotch.
Fruit Drops
Fruit Drops are deliciously sweet fruit chews that are saturated in flavors and offer an incredible buzz. We recommend storing these in your fridge to prevent them from getting too gummy in the heat!
Bonus: Tour Photos!
Phat Panda gave the team here at Cinder the awesome opportunity to take a tour around their facility in Spokane, Washington! Their facility was so massive it took us 2 hours to walk around and see everything.
Phat Panda
First, we were taken into the grow rooms. These rooms were massive and full of cannabis plants. Each room was a unique experience. In fact, many rooms were dedicated entirely to growing one specific strain. For instance, their famous Golden Pineapple strain took up an entire room of its own. The whole room smelled citrusy sweet and hashy. It was by far the most aromatic room.
Next, we passed by the cloning rooms. Here, the clones that are taken from the mother plants are given careful attention before they move on to the next phase. These clones were so cute and tiny!
Next, we moved on to see where the clones go once they’ve matured enough. There were rows upon rows of baby cannabis plants to feast our eyes on. These plants are given ample light, water, and airflow to grow and flourish.
Up next we went to the drying room. As you may have guessed by the name, this is the room where cannabis flower hangs to dry. After that, this flower is ready for the shelves!
Up next, we moved into the joint rolling room. This is where their pre-rolls and fire crackers are rolled and packaged. In the picture above, you’ll see an employee painting a Firecracker infused pre-roll with distillate oil. After that, they roll the oil-painted pre-roll in kief to create an ultimately potent Firecracker!
Sticky Frog
Once our tour of Phat Panda ended, the tour of Sticky Frog began. In other words, we got to see how Phat Panda flower becomes Sticky Frog concentrates.
Pictured above is a Sticky Frog employee filling one of their signature Panda Pen vape cartridges by hand. This process is extremely laborious and time consuming as it requires a precise hand and deep concentration. However, this isn’t their primary cartridge filling procedure.
Instead, they use this beauty! This machine is able to fill the same amount of cartridges that would take around an hour by hand in just under 10 minutes. Thanks to this device, Sticky Frog is now producing cartridges faster than ever!
In conclusion, Phat Panda is one of the top dogs in Washington for a reason. Their facility is top-notch, their employees are hard-working, and their products are high-quality. Above all, Phat Panda recently passed Cinder Cares! In other words, Phat Panda products are clean and high quality, testing at or below Washington State Action Levels for residual solvents, pesticides, and heavy metals. In fact, Phat Panda holds itself to stricter standards than the state requires. As a result, they’re putting out products that are cleaner and higher quality than the state requires!
