About the Farm
Rochester Farms is a tier three producer/processor in Washington state and have been distributing to retailers since January of 2017. They started to distribute later than most producers because they intentionally took the time to carefully plan, design, and engineer a state-of-the-art facility that would allow them to efficiently grow high-quality cannabis for you. They are now producing about five hundred pounds of cannabis flower per month. This allows them to continually provide fresh, high-quality products to you at an affordable price.
Rochester Farms makes use of industrial automation borrowed from the tulip industry in Holland and is one of the most advanced irrigation systems in the cannabis sphere. Owner Marshall says that what initially got him interested in cannabis was the business opportunity. He says his son had some issues when he was young, including ulcerative colitis, and none of the medical care that he received was very effective at helping him. Once a friend suggested that Marshall try cannabis to help relieve his son’s symptoms, and they began to see improvement. As a businessman, Marshall realized that he had the skills under his belt to distribute this miracle plant to the people of Washington.
Growing & Cultivation
Rochester Farms makes use of flood and drain tables, also known as ebb and flow tables. In this system, the roots begin growing out of the rock wool cubes that they are planted in. The water irrigates about a quarter way up the cube, pushing all of the stale air out of the medium, and as the water then drains it will replenish the root cube with fresh oxygen. This is a very effective way of cultivating that does not involve a lot of irrigation. Their plants also receive full spectrum LED lights which ultimately deliver the best indoor light quality to the plants.
At Rochester Farms, they also make use of the “Sea of Green” technique. Sea of Green (often short-handed SOG) is a gardening method that growers use to grow the maximum number of plants possible in the shortest amount of time. To do this, they take small plants and quickly flip them right into flower. This is possible because their plants are grown from clones, not seeds. Plants that are grown from seed take at least 2 months to reach full maturity, whereas clones are taken from the apical meristem (the fastest growing part of a plant) of an already mature plant. The combination of these techniques along with the technology they implement allows Rochester Farms to consistently deliver quality product to retailers all over Washington.
Strains
Apple Fritter
Apple Fritter is a true hybrid strain that is reportedly a cross of Sour Apple and Animal Cookies. This strain is known for its powerfully relaxing high that combines the heavy stoned feeling of Girl Scout Cookies with the energy of a Diesel strain. Apple fritter has a sweet and earthy aroma with a light, cheesy, apple pastry influence.
Blueberry Muffin
Blueberry Muffin is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that crosses Blueberry and Purple Panty Dropper. This strain is revered for its gorgeously uniform bud structure and purple-tinted flowers. This strain features a flavor profile that smells like a warm tray of freshly baked blueberry muffins. Blueberry Muffin’s sweetness is softened by a smooth creamy finish and makes for the perfect tasty treat at the end of a long day.
Do-Si-Dos
Do-Si-Dos is a highly sought-after indica-dominant hybrid with qualities similar to its parent strain, OGKB. Not only does this strain deliver an incredible high, but it’s also a beauty to behold. The flower itself is drenched in glistening trichomes, bright pistils, and lime green and lavender leaves. Its aroma is pungent, sweet, and earthy with a slight floral funkiness. These classic OG aromas blend perfectly with the relaxing body effects that can be sedating if you smoke a heavy helping. When you smoke Do-Si-Dos, you’ll enjoy a stoney, in-your-face buzz that starts to melt down over your body.
Elmers Glue #7
Elmer’s Glue is a hybrid strain that crosses the classic Gorilla Glue with The White. This strain is potent and delivers a high that is happy, uplifting, and cerebral. This strain is great for anyone looking for a strain that will help to settle down and relax. Elmer’s Glue smells like pine a diesel but tastes sweet and earthy on the exhale. This trichome-drenched strain is a great choice for anyone looking to spend their day fully indulging in relaxation.
Emergen-C
Emergen-C is a hybrid cross of Orange Push Pop and Sunset Sherbet. Its effects are well balanced as a result of combining a fairly uplifting strain with one that is a bit more sedating. Smoking Emergen-C will have you feeling all of the positive vibes while giving delivering a delicious orange soda flavor profile. If you love citrus strains, you have to try Emergen-C.
Gary Payton
Gary Payton is a highly coveted hybrid strain that crosses The Y and Snowman. Named for the NBA Hall of Famer, this strain is potent, flavorful, and produces beautiful colorful flowers. This strain has a high THC content and provides middle-of-the-road effects that provide an even-keeled experience. As a result, this strain will make just about any stoner happy.
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a hybrid strain made by crossing Pineapple Trainwreck with Cookie Monster. The result is a strain that produces relaxing effects that will help boost your mood.
