Swami Select Emerald Triangle Cannabis Grow

Nestled in the mountainous woodlands of Northern California’s famed Emerald Triangle is Ganja Ma Gardens, home of Swami Select, the Champagne of Cannabis, pulling down all the magic of the cosmos. Swami Select is a fully-licensed cannabis grow (License CCL18-0001713). Swami Chaitanya and Nikki Lastreto are founding Emerald Cup judges and national advocates for cannabis legalization, and lead a team of award-winning growers. They have been featured by BBC World News, PBS News Hour, Forbes, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, L.A. Weekly, and Wired. I stayed with them 4 times throughout the 2019 growing season to document the most significant parts of their operation (April, July, September, and October). The photos will be published in a coffee table book and used in their social media and marking efforts.
