Description
Justin sits down with the team behind Koots Canna, a respected micro-cultivator based in British Columbia’s Kootenay region. The conversation explores their journey from legacy outdoor growers to licensed cannabis producers and the hard work required to build a successful craft cultivation facility.
Originally powerline technicians from Campbell River, brothers Simon and Hank eventually made their way to Nelson, BC, where they became part of the region’s long-standing cannabis community. Over time they transitioned from the legacy market into the legal industry, building their own micro-cultivation facility largely by hand. From framing and plumbing to electrical work and epoxy flooring, much of the facility was constructed by the founders themselves.
During the live discussion, the Koots Canna team shares insight into their transition from the legacy market to licensed production and what it takes to operate a small craft cultivation business in today’s regulated industry. They talk about seed hunting and pheno selection, dialing in environmental conditions, and the cultivation techniques that help them produce premium flower. The conversation also touches on the cannabis culture of the Kootenays, a region known for its deep roots in cannabis cultivation and a strong community of growers who have historically shared knowledge and supported one another.
