Maven Genetics : On Building Award Winning Strains, Pheno Hunts, Shared Knowledge & Elevating Cannabis Together

At Maven Genetics progress doesn’t come from secrecy, it comes from sharing, testing, and obsessing over the details that actually matter.

In this conversation, Chad opens up about Maven’s relentless pheno hunting process, the evolution of strains like FKFL, Prism, Lipsmackers, and Chrome Dome, and why crossing proven favorites has led to expressions that now outperform their parents. From his personal “Goldilocks Zone” selection method to a philosophy rooted in collaboration rather than competition, this interview offers a rare, honest look at how modern cannabis excellence is built.

A must-watch for cultivators, breeders, and anyone who believes the future of cannabis is better when knowledge is shared.
