Four lines, each doing something different. Prices sit on the live menu rather than here, because they move with every drop and a stale number helps nobody.
We are not carrying Foreign Genetics Inc. at the moment.
Nothing under this label is on our live menu today, and we would rather say so now than have you make the trip.
This page exists because the brand is searched and because dispensary stock changes. If it returns to our shelf it will show on the live menu, which reads from our register rather than a stale directory.
The label positions around pheno-hunted craft cannabis. That phrase gets used loosely across this industry, so it is worth explaining what it actually describes and how you can tell whether a brand is doing it.
Pheno-hunting means growing a large population from seed, then selecting the individual plants worth keeping.
Every seed in a pack is genetically distinct, the same way siblings are. Most will be unremarkable. A few will express the aroma, structure or potency the breeder was aiming for. Finding those means growing hundreds and discarding most of them, then cloning the survivors so the cut can be reproduced.
It takes seasons and it is expensive in space and labor, which is why it commands a premium when it is genuinely being done.
Here is how you tell. Brands that actually pheno-hunt tend to number their cuts, because they are distinguishing pheno 4 from pheno 11 of the same cross. 710 Labs on our shelf does this openly with names like Spanish Honey #14 and Lozee #10. A brand claiming pheno-hunting with no numbered cuts anywhere in its range is using the phrase as a description of quality rather than of process.
Nothing under this label is currently on our shelf, so there is no range to list honestly.
What we do carry from houses that genuinely select cuts:
710 Labs runs numbered phenotypes across flower and rosin, including Cold Creek Kush, The Sweeties #7, Spanish Honey and Zamarelo.
Alien Labs runs indoor eighths on Planetary OG, XJ-13, Biskanté and Brain Wash.
Connected Cannabis Co. runs Permanent Marker, Blowin Biscotti, Juici and Chrome.
Super Dope separates three phenotype expressions of the same strain, Mega Z in Blue, Dark and Red, which is an unusually visible version of the same idea.
No current Foreign Genetics strains at Evergreen. The live menu is the place to check whether that has changed.
If you buy this brand elsewhere, test the claim rather than accepting it.
Ask which phenotype you are buying and whether they run more than one of that cross. A house doing the work will have an answer. A house using the phrase decoratively will not.
Then judge the jar the way you would judge any jar. Frosted rather than dull, springy rather than crumbling, and smelling like something specific rather than generically green.
Ask when it was packaged. On craft flower at a craft price, a stale jar is the most expensive disappointment available.
Read the panel last and look past the headline THC number.
Confirm the shop is licensed. The California lookup takes under a minute on a phone.
If you buy craft flower anywhere, the storage rules do not change but the stakes do.
Sealed glass, dark, room temperature. A cupboard rather than a windowsill. Every opening exchanges the air in the jar, so open it less and for shorter.
No fridge and no freezer. Condensation invites mold, and frozen trichomes snap off the bud as soon as you touch it.
A humidity pack at around 62% RH costs a couple of dollars and is worth many times that on a jar you paid a premium for.
Grind lightly and only what you are about to use. If you paid for a specific phenotype’s aroma, over-grinding is how you throw it away.
You cannot buy Foreign Genetics from us today.
If selected cuts are what you want, ask for 710 Labs at the counter and ask which phenotype is on the shelf. They number theirs, which is the practical sign that the selection work is real rather than a word on a bag.
