SERGE CANNABIS

SERGE CANNABIS : INSIDE THE MASTERMIND OF CANNABIS ROYALTY (GARY PAYTON, POMELO ANDERSON). GLOBAL INFLUENCE & PURSUIT OF THE PERFECT STRAIN

Serge is widely recognized as one of the most influential creators in modern cannabis, a cultivator whose work has shaped strain culture around the world. In this in-depth ZNN interview, he traces his story from growing his first plant at age 15 to becoming a co-founder at Cookies Maywood and Fiore, where he helped bring genre-defining genetics like Gary Payton, Cereal Milk, and Pomelo Anderson to life.

Serge breaks down the massive 14,000-seed pheno hunts that built Fiore’s early menu, the moment he realized Pomelo Anderson would dominate the 2021 Zalympix, and what it felt like to watch Gary Payton explode into a global staple. He also shares exclusive details on the next wave of strains he’s developing, including Pheromone, Pink Pineapple, and the long-awaited Blackberry Gary, each packed with complex terpenness built for serious connoisseurs.

This is one of the most personal, honest, and insightful conversations Serge has ever given, offering a rare look at the mindset, history, and precision behind one of the most important figures in contemporary cannabis culture.
