ABOUT THE BRAND:
Clade 9 Founder Dave Holmes
Tell us about your journey in cannabis. How did you start growing and what is the origin story of Clade 9?
I was introduced to Cannabis when I was 9 years old. My uncle was a guerilla grower in the LA National Forest but also had a garden in his backyard. My older brother who was a pot dealer had me harvest some buds from my Uncle’s garden when he wasn’t there. I ended up selling some to my 5th-grade peers and got in trouble.
My older brother also ended up getting arrested for that same crop. LOL. My cultivation career came many years later when I was in grad school and my friend showed me his hydro garden. I was blown away by the sophistication and science and immediately started doing it. This was around 1999.
The name Clade 9 came about because of my love of genetics and evolution. In grad school, I learned about cladistics and the study of Clades. A Clade is essentially a branch on the tree of life.
What You Can Expect from Clade 9
How do you determine what genetics you run? Are you breeding them or sourcing genetics from others? What qualities do you look for in genetics to put into your rotation?
We try to grow what the people want. The strains we grow are a combination of strains I’ve collected, traded and bred myself. I try to build my menu based on terpene profiles. Essentially I try to find the best version of every terp profile whether that’s the best Gas, Bubba, Jack, Purp, Tangie or Candy Gas. I’m constantly looking for the best version of each category.
We do a lot of customer strain testing to try and get the menu right. We’ve even made an event out of it that we call “Terpmasters.”
