Top Five Best Flower Brands at Hashtag
5. Experience Organics
Experience Organics uses no synthetic nutrients and no pesticides, and they are based in Benton City, Washington. Their flower offers excellent value for the price point, and they choose to package in reusable jars. They have a breeding program and breed their own strains, like their L.A. Cookies and Sweet J. Their flagship strain is Gandalf, a favorite here at Hashtag.
4. Fire Bros
Fire Bros are Seattle locals who have been around since medical days. Within the last year, they moved into a new facility and began offering a vast strain selection with lots of different phenotypes. They produce their A buds and their “stimulus package” B buds at fair prices for everyone to enjoy. Every strain they offer is their own phenotype, as they grow all their own strains from seed. Finally, don’t miss their biodegradable joint packaging! Notable Fire Bros strains include Crepe Ape, The Glove, Danny Deweedo, Pineapple Pancakes, and Lemon Slushee.
3. Skord
Another craft focused, smaller company whose flower we love is Skord. They are phenotype hunters, always looking for the best new genetics. Skord specializes in limited edition drops: You’re never sure if what they have right now will be there next week. Their intriguing genetics lure in customers, as Skord’s offerings are almost ahead of industry trends. They work with a variety of seed breeders and genetic groups to get seeds from many places. Growing in Battle Ground, Washington, Skord means harvest in Swedish.
2. Pot of Gold
Head grower Jon is one of a handful of employees at Pot of Gold. Together, they dial in and perfect strains, batch to batch. Rather than focus on having a lot of strains, they curate and optimize the strains they offer, like MAC and Crumpets. All their flower is grown in Tacoma and is pesticide free. Pot of Gold’s B Bud half ounces are incredible for the price point! And something we really appreciate about them is that they educate their partners to make sure we can sell their product effectively.
1. Gabriel
Grown in Preston, just 22 miles east of Seattle, Gabriel has a loyal customer following for their Wide swath of strains. Their Jar appeal is unmatched, and their Exotic Genetix collaboration provides Washington state with highly sought after strains like Raunchy Runtz, Donkey Butter, and Frosted Lemons. They grow without pesticides, package fresh flower every time, and use colorful packaging that we love to reuse.
