Solfire Gardens

Since their initial release in 2017, Solfire Gardens strains have steadily made waves within the cannabis industry. With multiple awards for Bahama Mama concentrates and a 3rd-place finish for their in-house-grown The Don Mega at this year’s Michigan Cannabis Cup, Solfire Gardens is gaining well-deserved recognition.

“If you’re breeding for money, you’re breeding for the wrong reason.”

Introduced to cultivation as an adolescent by a close neighbor, and later attending college alongside “Big Smooth”—also known as Exotic Mike of Exotic Genetix—Solfire has accumulated more than 20 years of growing experience and over a decade of breeding expertise. From the beginning, Solfire Gardens has been driven by a deep passion for the plant.

Through countless hours and multiple crop cycles, Solfire has developed a focused breeding program built around carefully selected male and female plants. Rather than chasing hype-driven crosses, the team has dedicated its efforts to refining unique, proprietary cultivars. Notable projects include the Black Banana male and its offspring (such as Babadook and Grim Bastard OG), Why U Gelly (Solfire’s first feminized reversal release), The Don Mega male and its offspring (including Happy Hour and Bosscotti), and the Bahama Mama 2022 feminized drop.

Solfire Gardens works with a network of dedicated test growers, running each strain multiple times across different environments, cultivation styles, and techniques. This process ensures two critical outcomes: quality and consistency. Because nature is inherently unpredictable, extended testing allows Solfire to closely evaluate performance before deciding whether to release a strain or continue refining it. This level of diligence is rare and sets the brand apart.

Solfire Gardens seeds are available in both regular and feminized formats.
