DNA Genetics

A few weeks ago we announced our new business venture, PureDNA, which sees us joining forces with Amsterdam’s DNA Genetics to launch a new souvenir marijuana seed distribution business based in Chile, South America.

We’re very excited about this here at Sativa Towers which is why this Friday’s blog focuses on the story of DNA Genetics, their impeccable High Times Cannabis Cup record and their incredible knack of creating the world’s most desirable strains of marijuana.

DNA Genetics takes its name from the company’s two founders, Don and Aaron – two cannabis connoisseurs from Los Angeles, California who met by chance many years ago. They quickly became close friends, partially because of their shared love for high-end cannabis.

The guys built up a collection of seeds that they were gifted by friends and family.  They began to grow the seeds out and started experimenting with crossing their favourite strains to create unique hybrids, harnessing the most desirable traits

From a small, artisan workshop in the heart of Amsterdam comes this stunning new collection of glass smoking apparatus created by master lampworker, Chris Rawkins and his talented team of flameworkers. 

Amsterdam Glassworx is Chris Rawkins’ brand new company which launched earlier in 2014.  Chris was a Cannabis Cup winner for best glass in 2003 while representing Shiva Glass under the tutelage of the Cannabis College in Amsterdam.  Since then, Chris has not looked back, refining and honing his skills to the point he’s at today – a master craftsman, respected by glass connoisseurs and industry peers alike.

The Amsterdam Glassworx collection is a true reflection of how Chris believes glass smoking equipment should be made – beautiful, colourful and functional, with a focus on supreme durability – every single piece that leaves the studio has undergone rigorous quality checks as well as a 24 hour annealing process meaning a Glassworx product will give its new owner a lifetime of

The ever-increasing popularity of concentrates and oils with smokers has sparked the emergence of a whole host of weird and wonderful new products, all designed specifically for use with waxes, honeys, oils and other concentrates. 

Here at PureSativa, we have been watching developments closely, monitoring the markets, and making sure that we get hold of the best new products from the industry’s leading manufacturers.

Oil Slick are one of the companies that have burst onto the scene with a catalogue of products all specially designed for use with sticky extracts.  Their existing product range mainly consists of storage containers – platinum-cured, non-stick containers for storing waxy concentrates in – and these have been incredibly popular.  PureSativa stock a selection of these silicone containers and the feedback we have had from customers has been excellent, so when Oil Slick launched two new products recently, we knew we had to grab them for you guys:

Alien Fire Fruit, the latest new cannabis seeds to hit the shelves here at Sativa Towers is sure to be a popular choice with knowledgeable connoisseurs.

Holy Smoke Seeds managed to procure two classic strains from their contacts within the industry in order to develop this special variety that promises to be very sought after.  OG Raskal’s Fire Alien, when launched, was pretty difficult to get hold of.  The seeds sold out everywhere within a very short time amid reports of its awesome stability and potency. 

Topdawg Seeds’ Guava #13 provides the other half of Alien Fire Fruit’s genetics - again, a stonking strain of marijuana, famed for its potency and heritage.

The resultant variety, Alien Fire Fruit, has already attracted the attention of expert growers.  Working out of areas where cultivation of cannabis is legal, breeders have observed Alien Fire Fruit growing vigorously and developing bumper yields of dank, resinous buds.  However, perhaps the most interesting reports

US vaporizer manufacturers, Atmos have shaken up the market again with their latest offering, the ultra-cool, Atmos Liv.

The Atmos Liv follows in the footsteps of the Atmos RAW, Atmos Jewel and most recently, the Atmos Bullet Max vaporizers, all of which have been market leaders in terms of price, performance and build quality.

The Atmos Liv is a very versatile vaporizer.  Designed for use with either dried herbal blends or sticky, waxy concentrates, the Liv has a ceramic heating chamber which heats its contents evenly and thoroughly to a point just below combustion.  This means that the resultant vapour inhaled by the user is rich with flavours and active ingredients, yet free from harmful toxins and carcinogens that are normally found in smoke. 

The Atmos Liv differs to any other portable vaporizer on the market by virtue of the fact that not only is it a great quality portable vaporizer, but it is also a mobile power bank.  The Atmos Liv can be used to charge

Some six months after retailers in Colorado begun legally selling cannabis to recreational users, Washington State is set to follow suit today as the first retail licences are issued and shops begin to operate.

However, reports coming out of Washington suggest that what should be a day of jubilant celebration as the shackles of prohibition are finally shed, is actually turning out to be something of an anti-climax:

Already there are concerns that demand will be much, much higher than supply and there is still a lot of uncertainty in the state as the moment of truth approaches.  Central to this issue is the fact that Washington state only issued the growing licences in March this year, leaving at best, two complete growing cycles to stock up stores ready for opening day. 

Would-be retailers who have invested huge sums of money in order to ready their businesses to meet demand have been left hanging as the date of legal recreational sales has been repeatedly delayed.  The state, perhaps

Every smoker needs a grinder.  It’s a vital cog in the skinning-up machine.  Yet it never ceases to amaze us how many committed, connoisseur smokers choose to muddle through without one – either tearing herbs up with bare hands or butchering precious product with a cheap, plastic contraption that the manufacturer has the temerity to pass off as a herb grinder. 

The reality of the situation is that these days, quality herb grinders are not fantastically expensive.  If you buy a good one, it’s unlikely you’d ever need to buy another.  And once you have one, you’ll wonder how you managed all those years without one.

The Quick Herb Grinder is made to superb standards from aluminium and tough stainless steel.  The grinder is extremely robust and durable – by simply holding the Quick Grinder in your hand, you can tell that it is very well made.  The grinder fits together very securely thanks to the polythene PTFE ring that sits between the two halves.  The ring ensures that the
