The History of Top Shelf Cultivation
Before we talk about the flower, let’s honor the growers. Top Shelf Cultivation has deep roots in the California cannabis scene. Founded back in 1999 by Brian Danaher in Northern California, they were true pioneers. While everyone else was growing outdoors, Top Shelf took their operation fully indoor. Consequently, this allowed for unparalleled quality control. Today, they operate out of Long Beach as a respected, family-owned legacy brand. Their commitment to ethical, sustainable practices and hand-watering shines through in every single harvest.
The Origins of the Whoa Si Whoa Strain
So, where exactly did Whoa Si Whoa come from? The underlying genetics were originally bred by Cannarado Genetics. However, Top Shelf Cultivation spent years pheno-hunting to find the absolute perfect cut. Ultimately, their hard work paid off in a major way. Whoa Si Whoa is a multi-award-winning masterpiece. It famously took home first place for Best Indica Flower at the 2019 High Times Cannabis Cup. It remains Top Shelf’s reigning crown jewel to this day.
