The Duff Drive Difference: Why On-Site Growing is the Ultimate “Flower Power”
In an era of giant corporate cannabis warehouses and mystery wholesale batches, Flower Power Botanicals is doing things a little differently—the way we’ve done them since 2010.
When you walk into our Fort Collins shop, you aren’t just looking at products we bought from a middleman. You’re looking at plants that were raised just a few feet away. We grow 99% of our own flower on-site, and for us, that’s the only way to ensure every bud meets the “Flower Power” standard https://publicspeakersassociation.com/psa-events/
Keeping it Vertical (And Keeping it Legal)
One of the questions we get most often is: “Is it actually legal for you to grow your own weed right here?” The answer is a resounding YES. In Colorado, this is called Vertical Integration. While many shops choose to just be retailers, we hold both a retail license and a cultivation license. This allows us to oversee the entire lifecycle of the plant—from the first cutting of a clone to the final hand-trim.
By cutting out the middleman, we don’t just save on costs; we gain total control over the quality, the nutrients, and the “vibe” of every strain.
Introducing Horsetooth Highs
Because we have our own grow facility, we’re able to dedicate a special section of our harvest to our boutique line: Horsetooth Highs.
Named after our favorite local landmark, this line represents the “cream of the crop.” These are our premium, hand-trimmed selections like Tropicana Cherry and Uranium 970. When you buy Horsetooth Highs, you’re getting a true taste of Fort Collins—cultivated with love, sunshine, and a bit of that classic 1960s soul.
Why Homegrown Matters to You
- Freshness: Our flower doesn’t sit in a distribution truck for weeks. It goes from our cure room to our shelves.
- Transparency: We know exactly what went into our soil because we put it there.
- Deli-Style Service: Because we grow it ourselves, we still love the “old school” way of letting you see and smell the large jars before you buy.
At the end of the day, we’re a family-owned “mom and pop” shop. We believe that when you grow your own, you put a little more heart into the harvest.
