Along the way, Nate developed a deep collection of genetics and a breeding philosophy centered on what makes a plant truly memorable, not simply what looks good in a bag.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt Higher Heights,\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eflavor, terpene expression, effect, vigor, and genetic diversity come first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat philosophy has become increasingly important as modern cannabis breeding has pushed much of the market toward a narrower range of genetics selected heavily for appearance and commercial traits.
