Why We Choose Soil: The Case for Living Soil Grows in Hemp

At Geremy Greens Farm, we don’t just grow hemp.
We build a thriving soil ecosystem—and let the plant do what it does best.

While some producers use synthetic nutrients and sterile media to speed things up, we’ve committed to living soil cultivation. Not because it’s trendy—but because it makes a measurable difference in flavor, terpene depth, cannabinoid expression, and environmental impact.

Let’s dig in.

🌱 What Is Living Soil?

Living soil is exactly what it sounds like—soil that’s teeming with beneficial life. That includes:

• Microbes

• Fungi

• Worms

• Organic matter

• Nutrient-cycling bacteria

Instead of feeding the plant directly with bottled nutrients, living soil feeds the soil food web, which in turn nourishes the plant in the most natural, balanced way possible.

It’s the same concept behind regenerative farming—and it’s how we get true craft THCA flower.

💥 Why Living Soil = Better THCA Flower

Here’s why living soil grown THCA flower stands out:

1. More Complex Terpenes

Plants grown in nutrient-rich, microbially active soil tend to develop richer and more layered terpene profiles—which means louder aromas, deeper flavors, and more nuanced effects.

2. Cleaner Cannabinoid Expression

Living soil supports full-spectrum cannabinoid development—without the risk of residual salts or synthetic inputs tainting the final product.

3. Smoother Smoke

No need for aggressive flushes or chemical balancing. Living soil grows produce naturally balanced buds that burn smooth and clean.

4. Better for the Earth

Our soil gets reused, recycled, and regenerated—unlike single-use rockwool or synthetic mediums. That means less waste and more sustainability with every harvest.

🛑 The Problem With Sterile Grow Media

Some high-yield operations use coco coir, hydroponics, or rockwool, and dump synthetic nutrients on a strict feeding schedule. The results?

• Fast growth, but weaker flavor

• Higher THC %, but less terpene balance

• Greater environmental cost

• Less connection to the earth

Sure, it’s efficient. But we’re not chasing volume—we’re growing quality.

🧑🌾 What Living Soil Looks Like at Geremy Greens

Every batch we grow is small and intentional. We amend our beds with:

• Worm castings

• Compost teas

• Mycorrhizal fungi

• Biochar and kelp

• Cover crops and mulch

This ecosystem feeds itself over time, reducing the need for outside inputs. And when our plants thrive, so do our customers.

🧪 How You’ll Notice the Difference

If you’ve smoked both hydro and living soil side-by-side, the difference is clear:

At Geremy Greens, we’re proud to share lab-tested terpene results so you can verify what you’re tasting isn’t hype—it’s horticulture.

Final Thought:

We don't grow in labs. We grow in living systems.
Because hemp is a plant—and plants belong in soil.
