Sam, like many others, became fascinated with cannabis since the first few times indulging as a teen. He dabbled a bit as a teen, growing some outdoor, but soon graduated to indoor as Vermont is a tricky climate to count on. Sam was lucky enough to build some trust with a couple of local growers who took him under their wing and showed him the ropes under some old manual ballast 1000-watters. As the industry progressed, he started working more on his own and was able to meet others with larger-scale operations. At that time he started to experiment with soil building and developing a regiment that was as close to “hand made” as possible.
