" I'm possessed to do a trop F2 forward population right now. It's been like 10 years and because of Harry Palms and me kind of coming up under their banner, it's only right. "

" What I call GMO is a really important plant to breed — it's basically an amplifier where anything you put on it for the right pheno expression just turns up the dial, almost doubles the smell. "

" I don't smoke this plant. I make seeds with the plant and I keep the clone around. Just the fact of growing it, smelling it — that right there is an experience amongst itself. "
