Hey, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Know Your Breeder.

Today, I have Tiki Madman joining us. We've been trying to get him on the show for a bit now.

And the planets have aligned and we are finally here.

So, uh, hey, Grampo, do you have Dr. Madman on the line?

There he is. Welcome, my friend. How are you? Great. How are you? I'm excellent. Do me a favor and just give everybody a quick shout out, like, where you're, where you're at and what you're, what you're talking about if you are. We're, you know, Tiki Man,gey man man we're based out of michigan and uh

want to say happy 420 and everybody early it's coming up this weekend and uh hopefully every

a lot of people tune in and uh check out the show today awesome thank you uh all right so you are in

michigan and um for everybody everybody that does or for people that

don't know or have never heard of you, I would say that you have an impressive just operation

in terms of providing genetics to people. I'll just call it that way. And to me, it's kind of like a

modern sort of cannabis

genetics company, if you will. So I know that you breed, but you also have clones for sale.

And then in terms of modern, I notice just browsing to your website really quick, that tissue culture is a big thing around with you, as well as certifications, like official kind of documentation kind of stuff.

And it seems to me like all of those things are required for sort of, you know, doing business, you know, in the modern kind of cannabis space, right?

It's, uh, it's very much like, uh, a consumer product that, um, you're able to market now and you're able to sell things online where, you know, you couldn't do that years ago. It was all kind of underground. So, um, I was hoping you could tell us a little bit about that, man. Just how you got started

and, you know, how you kind of built out an empire. Yeah, like early on, you know, we would buy seeds

obviously from Europe. We'd bring them in, pop them. We were always, always pheno hunting, even back

of the day. And then, you know, when California came online, a lot of the West Coast breeders came online.

When we discovered there were breeders in America, it was like, wow, you know.

So we started running seeds from all the guys out west early on, and it got to the point where we couldn't buy what we wanted, you know.

So we had so many strains we'd been hunting over years and we just started breeding,

you know, doing our own process to kind of fill the gaps as we thought.
