Product Review: Fig Farms Dark Karma

About Fig Farms

Fig Farms is your most informed friend who shares their knowledge with passion, not arrogance. Fig Farms is 100% owned by its growers and having the experts at the helm of their decision-making absolutely results in a superior output. When I tried Fig Farm’s Animal Mints Ivory Pheno recently it was so spectacular it felt like I was smoking weed for the first time again. Fig’s attention to detail is so inherently flower-focused that every aspect of what we love about weed is perfected to the nth degree. Fig Farms flower feels like the HD Director’s Cut with extra behind-the-scenes footage.

Hit up Fig Farms’ website next time you are in need of some breathtaking cannabis photography. A short 360* clip of the cannabis plant in all its glory repeats into infinity on the homepage and kept my attention for nearly that long. From the jump, Fig Farms makes it clear that its sole focus is the soul of this marvelous plant.

Fig Farms offers unique and hard-to-find genetics such as The Pink and White Nectarines. Fig Farms grows out of a facility in Oakland and in line with other cannabis labels of its caliber, offers t-shirts for its most loyal devotees. It’s interesting how succinctly and precisely merch can encapsulate a brand’s identity. Fig Farms’ clothes come in earth tones and are made for comfort with logos that are discreet and understated. Fig Farms seems to come from a place of hard work and humility with the quality of the cannabis taking the first, last, and only priority in their business strategy.

Highlights

Each cannabis plant is a unique manifestation of its parents’ genetics. Like humans, this idiosyncrasy may not be fully realized until maturity, and the plant blossoms into its own unique flower. Growers sequester and label seeds at the beginning of the growing process to later redeem the ones they find most favorable. This is known as “pheno hunting” as it represents the grower’s search for the offspring bearing the most sought-out characteristics of each of the parents.

Phenotypes represent an important concept in the theory of evolution. Each group of organisms represents a wide net of genetic variation and the members of each group with the most advantageous inborn traits will produce the most viable offspring as a function of their genetic advantage. After several generations of only the cream of the crop surviving, the most favorable traits will predominate the gene pool and move forward in molding subsequent generations. In the topic at hand, Fig Farms’ grower-owned mentality means their hands-on relationship with the plant is what molds your enjoyable experience.

Dark Karma is Dutch Treat x Strange Love and Fig Farms opted for this specific phenotype for its terpene profile and effects. Fig previously released a different pheno of this crossing as “Dutch Cookies” but found Dark Karma superior in the long run. It is my distinct honor to become acquainted with so many different manifestations of cannabis magic but Fig Farms really takes it to another level. Let’s see where this Dark Karma will carry us.
