Canna Haus Farms / Field guide 04

It starts
in the soil.

A guide to growing-environment terms and harvest records. A cultivar can appear in more than one environment across different runs.

01 / The foundation

The crop comes
before the hash.

Extraction can reveal the character of a harvest. It cannot replace the work of growing one.

Cultivar identifies the plant variety; environment describes the conditions of a particular crop. A harvest record connects those details to a run.

That is why we identify the cultivar and harvest on our product pages: they describe the source of the resin, not just the final format.

02 / Under the surface

A living-soil
approach.

Healthy plants grow within a wider system.

Our approach centers living soil and regenerative organic practices. Compost, cover crops, and no-till methods support the beds and the life within them. The aim is to care for the growing environment as deliberately as we care for the plant.

Soil is part of the cultivation story, but it does not stand alone. Genetics, light, weather, management, and the timing of each harvest all matter.

03 / Where it grows

Three environments.
One standard of care.

The growing environment tells you how a crop was raised. It is useful context for a harvest, not a quality ranking.

01 / Controlled◫

Indoor

Light and climate can be managed throughout the cycle, giving the team close control over conditions as the plant develops.

Managed light + climate
02 / Sunlit + protected⌂

Greenhouse

Natural sunlight reaches plants within a protected growing space. The crop still reflects the season while the environment can be actively managed.

Natural light + shelter
03 / Open season☼

Sun-grown

Plants follow the full outdoor season under natural light, with each harvest shaped by that year’s conditions.

Natural light + full season
04 / Record the run

A harvest is
more than a date.

The same strain can tell a different story from one run to the next.

Growing environment belongs to a particular harvest, rather than being a permanent attribute of a strain. The same cultivar can have separate indoor and greenhouse runs; the harvest record distinguishes them.

05 / Two different questions

Environment
is not tier.

Grown as

Environment

Indoor, greenhouse, or sun-grown describes the conditions of the crop.

Selected as

Tier

Our tier describes how selectively we chose washes and micron ranges from that resin.

Growing environment and tier answer different questions. Read the Micron Guide for the tier terminology. Micron guide
