Grounded Genetics: Big Terpenes and Flying Drops

What is Grounded Genetics and where does its name come from?

Grounded Genetics is a British seed bank based in Spain that has developed a line of "top shelf" crosses with very distinctive terpene profiles and plants that typically stand out for their resin, aroma and effect.

With a strong influence from the modern scene; its work has moved through different stages and environments, with a clear focus: selection and genetic improvement based on phenohunts and elite clones.

Common characteristics in the cannabis seeds catalogue of Grounded:

• Intensity and aromatic complexity
• Genetic originality and authenticity
• Dedication and perfection in every seed

Genetic lines and key crosses

Grounded Genetics' main works are based on unique creations with recognisable characteristics. Among its different genetic lines, the following stand out:

Crosses with Runtz and derivatives

One of its most well-known lines relies on Bacio Gelato x Runtz type crosses and combinations with highly sought-after parent plants. Lines like Piñata (Bacio Gelato X Runtz) and Designer Sherb (Sunset Sherbert X Runtz) stand out.

"Bacio" line and creamy profiles

Another strong block revolves around Bacio Gelato, mixing creaminess and potency with modern parent plants. Among others, Caviar Lime (Lemonnade X Bacio) and 41 Sherb (Sunset Sherbert X Bacio Gelato) stand out.

Jealousy for regular hybrids

They have also used parent plants such as Jealousy to develop hybrids with plenty of personality. Ozark (OZ Kush) and Jelly Biscuits (Biscotti X Jealousy) are two of the most notable.

The Z Road family and the Z universe

Here come crosses with Zkittlez influence and combinations like Z Road, with offspring featuring very recognisable "Z" names like Vitamin Z (Zunami X Z Road) or Zilk Road (Zkittlez X Off-Road).

How to choose your Grounded Genetics seeds

You don't need to be a geek to choose your seeds well, just follow these recommendations:

1) Choose by terpene profile

• Candy / fruity: Runtz-type crosses and Z universe.
• Creamy / dessert: Bacio line, Gelato/Sherb vibes.
• Gas / OG: when "heavier" parent plants enter the cross.

2) Flower to enjoy or resin to work with?

If your priority is resin (hash/rosin), you usually want:

• Phenotypes with good-sized gland, structure that holds up well and aromas with impact.

If your priority is flower, pay attention to:

• Density, yield, and above all the aromatic profile you fancy smoking.

3) Keep availability in mind (drops and sold-outs)

Grounded Genetics fits its work through releases and batches with high demand. If you spot a genetic that fits you, it's not uncommon for it to sell out quickly.
