Fresh From the Mountain: Our New Season of Oregon Sungrown THCa Flower

Every fall, a familiar ritual stirs in the Pacific Northwest. The days shorten, the nights cool, and the hills of Southern Oregon settle into the slow, deliberate rhythm of harvest — trichomes turning amber, terpenes wafting in the air, scissors zipping and snipping everywhere. This year’s sungrown THCa flower has arrived: vibrant, aromatic, and alive with the full-spectrum expression only the Southern Oregon sun can shape.

We’re proud to share it with you.


Why Oregon Sungrown Hits Different

oregon map with cannabis leaf - 2025Southern Oregon sits at a rare sweet spot on the map. Our latitude mirrors the legendary Emerald Triangle, our fall weather is crisp and dry, and our soils are rich with volcanic minerals. Long summer days give the plants time to stretch; the rapid shift to shorter days in late September triggers dense flowering and terpene production. When the sun takes the lead, cannabis doesn’t just grow — it reveals itself.

Sungrown THCa flower carries a complexity that’s impossible to fake indoors: deeper secondary terpenes, fuller minor cannabinoids, and what old-school growers call the “wild note” — the subtle, living qualities the plant absorbs from real soil, fresh air, and warm daylight.


Grown With Organic Inputs & Real Integrity

Our sungrown partners are small, family-run farms rooted in the same values that built Lucky Elk: organic inputs, hands-on care, and a belief that cannabis is medicine, not a commodity. These farmers work the same ground season after season, amending soil with compost, cover crops, and living biology rather than bottled fertilizers. Their craft is slow, intentional, and honest — the kind of work you can taste the moment you crack the jar.

This year’s harvest is rich in full-spectrum cannabinoids and terpenes, offering the kind of rounded, layered experience that only comes from plants grown outdoors in full sun.


The First Drops Are Live — More Coming Soon

We’re releasing the first wave of fresh-harvest strains today, with new cultivars rolling out every few weeks as they finish curing. Expect a wide range of profiles — fruit-forward sativas, dessert-heavy hybrids, deep earthy indicas — each one showing its truest expression under the Oregon sun.

The cross is known for stable phenotypes, rich terpene expression, and strong bag appeal across environments.

Tropicana Cherry comes from Tropicana Cookies x Cherry Cookies, a modern citrus–berry crossover celebrated for its loud candy terpenes and naturally dark coloration. The Tropicana side drives the sharp orange zest and daytime lift, while Cherry Cookies adds its signature sour-cherry candy note and the deep purple pigment the strain is known for. It’s a lineage prized among breeders for delivering consistent fruit-forward phenos with strong bag appeal.
