Hello everyone, my name is Jake and I am the owner of Romulan Genetics. I just wanted to introduce myself and say that so far, I absolutely love this place and I am eager to spend more time in here sharing and conversating with you all. I’ve spent a lot of time on ICMAG and dabbled with THCfarmer and bean basement, but this place seems to have exactly what I am looking for… friends and people to chat with.
I started doing this back in 2017 giving away cuts of my Romulan to anyone I could find that wanted it. I gifted it to Dark Heart Nursery and as many friends/growers as I could for several years. I had been told by people that it was sort of my duty after my pops passed away, leaving me the clone and old seeds. So this all started with a sense of obligation to the Cannabis community. My assumption was that by giving cuts away, it wouldn’t take long for them to spread around everywhere. I was wrong, and as more and more people asked me for cuts and clones it became far too much work for me to keep giving things away and spending money on shipping clones only to see the people I sent it to hoard it themselves and not give cuts to others (which they all agreed to before I sent them). Only Dark Heart Nursery was any bit of success, but they were limited to California and anyone else had to have friends or fly out themselves to get it. So the pressure was put on me to make seeds. I had already been breeding privately for myself, so it wasn’t a huge step to get into making more for others too.
In 2019 I began selling seeds, and before too long Luis from ACE Seeds asked me if he could carry my seeds at his seed bank, after he had grown some himself and was impressed with the results. One thing led to another and this hobby turned from something small, into me investing 50k into grow rooms and equipment, employees, etc… all so I could get Romulan seeds into peoples hands. I am a USMC veteran with some serious physical issues, so I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without help. All of the growing and breeding, selecting, etc… every way we do things is all my say, but the seed sorting and grunt work labor I have a few helping hands that are necessary to allow me to do this.
Anyway, thats my back story basically. Our website has a far more detailed history and background, which you are all welcome to go check out if you would like. Im not here to sell things though. I want to meet people, make friends and share interactions with others. Living in the mountains, being an old man and not getting out too often means I am lacking the large circle of friends I used to have before I became a grower and breeder 24/7. I love what I do, I just need some damn people to chat with… going crazy in the woods up here in Northern California.
