Purple City Genetics: Clone Business Make or Break, Family Smuggling, Genetic Rollercoasters, Purps

Purple City Genetics pulled up and dropped game on the entire clone world. This episode goes deep into the business of genetics, the reality of running a nursery, global smuggling stories, preservation, rare landrace lines, citrus & cherry breeding, and the emotional rollercoaster behind cultivation. If you care about clones, genetics, breeding, nurseries, Bay Area culture, legacy cannabis, cultivation challenges, or the future of flavor, this conversation is going to hit different. Oren breaks down how Purple City built their name without shortcuts, from family smuggling roots to moving 20,000 cuts a month, to traveling the world collecting lines that would’ve been lost forever. We get into the hard truths behind keeping genetics alive, the pressure farmers face, clone quality, what makes a cultivar worth running, why nurseries are the backbone of the industry, and how real growers stay connected through global circles. This is one of the most raw, honest, and educational looks into genetics you’ll find anywhere, straight from a team actually doing it. Tap in, roll up, and learn something the industry doesn’t put on IG. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
