A quality grow yields top-notch cannabis.<\/h4>\n
\n

C<\/span>ultivating cannabis is a delicate art that requires precision, patience and \u2014 if you really want to get it right \u2014 passion. That\u2019s why Lenny Feldman of Alternative Medicine on Capitol Hill (AMCH) holds himself to such a high standard. He\u2019s been growing cannabis for almost a decade and is dedicated to providing medicine that is consistently high in quality.<\/p>\n

The endless supply of quality strains they provide reads like a best-of list: Blue Dream<\/a>, Durban Poison<\/a>, Super Lemon Haze<\/a>, Golden Goat, Tangerine Dream, Girl Scout Cookies <\/a>and Headband.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cOur strains are handpicked and some have been grown for over five years. I consider our business to be ran like a microbrew,\u201d Feldman shares. \u201cJust like in small batch bourbons, our system is done through small batches, which we all know means more time and effort for better, more unique products. We grade our weed on a two-point system: quality and consistency.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 9,000-square-foot facility AMCH<\/a> uses to cultivate cannabis is located in Denver, Colorado<\/a> and is divided into three separate spaces. The large section houses most of their top-shelf strains, which are all hand-trimmed and coco-grown. Another 2,000-square-foot room holds fewer strains and is used for lower-priced strains, which allows the dispensary to remain highly competitive in an industry where cost to the consumer matters. There are often more than 20 strains growing at any given time.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur warehouse also utilizes the best space and time management. We give our plants a 30-foot ceiling and plenty of veg time to fill the space perfectly. We dedicate ourselves to knowing when a plant has reached its perfect maturity,\u201d Feldman says.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Their signature product is a strain called Banana, which is reportedly \u201cthe kiefiest bud on the planet.\u201d Feldman dries and cures the cannabis so that people can receive spongy, sticky, smelly, kiefy and dense buds. Many of their strains consistently test over 20 percent and are harvested weekly. AMCH, which is both a recreational and medical dispensary, also offers potent hashes made from their own strains.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we trim dry, we get the most premium sugar leaf which we call Gold and our master hash maker extracts the finest bubble hash on the market,\u201d Feldman says. \u201cThis stuff tests in the 60 percent THC range which, for naturally water extracted product, is really good. The flavor will send you soaring and you will find a new love for our products. For me, the best bubble beats the best wax.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear they\u2019ve got a winning recipe when it comes to growing the best cannabis possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing is ever rushed. Everything is always on cue, so that we know we have a great product well before it hits the shelves.\u201d<\/p>\n
