Join us in this thrilling chapter of the St. Vincent Pheno Hunt, as we delve into the stunning landscapes of the Caribbean, specifically the remote islands of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. This unique expedition takes us to the slopes of an active volcano, recently erupted in 2021, where generations of local growers have thrived under distinctive environmental conditions.
In this episode, we explore the profound impact of recent legislative changes on the cultural and agricultural landscape of the region. Our mission is to uncover the remnants of original Caribbean landrace genetics, native varieties that have shaped numerous globally recognized strains, yet are becoming increasingly scarce.
With the help of local traditional farmers, we document traditional cultivation techniques, finely tuned to extreme terrains, from volcanic soils to coastal microclimates. This journey is not merely about plant discovery; it is a deep dive into biodiversity, history, and the evolving relationship between culture and science in one of the world’s most extraordinary growing regions.
Tune in to witness a captivating blend of science and tradition in St. Vincent Pheno Hunt, where every plant tells a story and every farmer holds a piece of history. Don’t miss out on this exploration of nature’s diversity and the heritage that shapes it!

Blessings to all people and much love from Trinidad !
No country should ever punish, target and or prosecute individuals for the simple cultivation and or consumption of a cannabis plant, period!
