Jimi DevineFor this edition of The Garden Glance, we’re visiting the Los Angeles heat factory of Your Highness.
Most of the time the Garden Glance is an in-house photographer or some killer that we love, like Erik Christiansen or Chewberto. But for this run of the Garden Glance, Your Highness Co-Founder and Head Cultivator Sean Rotramel not only grew the weed, but is providing his own perspective through the lens.
Who better to know when the time is right for the perfect shots than the guy spending all his time in the room with the plants. Well as you can see, the shots below certainly give the theory some sound data to fall back on.

- Before all the excitement of beefing up during the veg cycle and then putting on the real weight we’re looking for during flower, you need to start with strong roots. As these cuttings have recently crossed the finish line, they’re now ready to transfer into the medium they’ll be grown out in.
-
- Wapples is one of the newest flavors being hyped by Your Highness. While it’s tough for us to knock the Shady Apples or Lemon Mints off the top of our list, it’s easy to see why people are excited about the new pairing of Apple Fritter and Kush Mints.
-
- Lemon Meringue Cake is a staple of the collection of genetics at Your Highness. Its pairing with Kush Mints to create Lemon Mints/ The Lemon Mints would end up being one of our hot new strains of 2020. It took the growers three times to get Lemon Mints right after the initial propagation, but once it was locked it was wild. The lemon and cake terps hold up strong to this day!

- In the process of checking on his crop, Rotramel walks the aisles of the Your Highness cultivation facility on the quest for perfect shots under the bright lights of the LEDs.

- On the subject of LEDs, a lot of Isamu Akasaku disciples would have you thinking I’m a hater. But this Shady Apples is in fact some of the best-LED pot I’ve ever smoked in my life. When the talk of ridding California of double-ended High Pressure Sodium lighting fixtures heated up, Shady Apples was one of the few things holding back my tears. I’m looking forward to seeing where the tech continues to go in the next couple of years.
