Jai
Girl Scout Cookies, Cherry Pie, Sunset Sherbet, Gelato, Biscotti. The strains that built the modern cannabis industry may be household names, but the man with the green thumb responsible for mixing up the top-shelf genetic pool is still largely a mystery.
Hailing from San Francisco, California, that man is the cannabis whisperer known simply as Jai. Raised amongst pot plants his whole life, Jai was growing his own crop by the time he was a teenager, soaking in as much knowledge as possible from his elders, and making waves in the Bay Area’s world-leading weed scene.
As an adult, Jai helped birth an empire. A founding member of the Cookies family, Jai has pushed the limits of cultivation and breeding, evolving from garage grows in dense SF neighborhoods to outdoor facilities in the Emerald Triangle and state-of-the-art indoor sites across California.
At every grow, Jai’s botanic creativity leads to new crosses, unparalleled pheno hunts, and some of the finest selections ever flowered. Jai’s legend is matched only by his legacy.
