HDR Fresh Cuts

 Easy, Peasy, Lemon Squeezy!  We are very enthusiastic to introduce High Desert Relief’s new exclusive indica, Saint Limón. Made by crossing Lemon Tree x  Lemon Cherry Gelato, this strain is a lemon lover’s dream. Worthy of being a patron saint of lemony buds, St. Limón has an absolutely heavenly flavor. Similar to Lemon Tree, but with some sweet “frozen yogurt” taste inherited from Lemon Cherry Gelato, St. Limón is very tasty. Complimenting the fresh flavor with a nicely euphoric, and not too sedative high, it’s a perfect afternoon treat. If you love lemony weed, St. Limón will be hitting shelves…

There are lots of ways to infuse pre-rolls, depending on what you’re after—flavor, potency, or ease of production. Here’s a quick breakdown: 🔹 Hand-Rolled Wax/Hash – The classic DIY method. You roll wax or hash directly onto the joint. It gives great flavor and a strong entourage effect, but it takes some effort—and it tends to run when smoked. 🔹 Isolate + Flower – This is the go-to for mass production. You just mix THC isolate with ground flower and roll it up. It’s high in THC, but not much flavor or entourage effect unless terpenes are added. Super efficient,…

Decarboxylation is a key process that changes the texture and effects of cannabis extracts. During this stage, thick, sticky wax—similar to tar—turns into a smoother, oilier substance. It’s still sticky, but much more fluid and easier to work with. This transformation is essential to make the extract usable for vaping, eating, or applying topically. What’s happening on a chemical level is the conversion of THC-A (a non-psychoactive compound) into THCΔ9—the compound that creates the “high.” Heat triggers this conversion, unlocking the psychoactive potential of the cannabis. In the photo, you can see us removing the wax from the baking sheets…

Most people think of the classifications of indica, sativa, and hybrid cannabis as a description of the high that they each give. Usually, cannabis enjoyers expect an “energetic high” from a sativa, a “lazy high” from an indica strain, and somewhere in-between for a hybrid. This expectation is a bit misguided, and can lead to some disappointed consumers when purchasing a sativa (for example) and being surprised with an incredibly sedative and lethargic effect. In reality these classifications are focused on the physical growth traits and geographic origins of the two different varieties, (Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis Indica) and not…

What makes live resin better than cured resin or regular wax? Short answer: It’s all about the terpenes. Terpenes are what give cannabis its smell and flavor. They’re like the essential oils of the plant—and they play a big role in how it tastes, smells, and even how it feels when you use it. Here’s the difference: Cured resin and wax come from cannabis buds that have been dried and cured. That drying process causes some of the terpenes to break down or disappear. Live resin, on the other hand, is made from buds that are frozen right after harvest—before…

Wake & Bake with HDR. It’s Sunday Funday. Come say hi! All of our locations are open today. Six locations to choose from in Albuquerque, Bernalillo, Hobbs, and Santa Fe.

We’re spending our Saturday with Head Space. How about you?

There are many ways to take clones from a cannabis plant, and new methods are popping up constantly. One of the most tried and true methods of cloning is to use individual clone domes to sustain the high humidity environment needed for rooting. While clone domes do the job pretty well, it can be extremely time consuming to maintain all of these separate domes in a commercial facility. To address the common issues of clone domes, Athena recently developed their VPDomes.   “Achieving the optimal VPD for plants allows them to properly transpire, uptake nutrients, uptake CO2, and prevent stress….

Cannabis distillate is a staple in the cannabis industry—used in everything from edibles and tinctures to vape cartridges. In simple terms, “distillate” is just a fancy science word for something that’s been cleaned and purified through distillation. Think about it like this: Distilled water? You boil water into vapor, then condense that vapor into a clean container—pure H₂O. Distilled alcohol (like liquor)? Same idea—boil, condense, collect. THC Distillate? Yep, you guessed it—boil THC into vapor, condense it back into a pure liquid, and collect it in a sterile container. The result? A clear, potent, and highly refined cannabis extract. Here’s…

Diamonds and sauce is a popular form of cannabis concentrate known for its potency and flavor. It’s made by extracting THC and terpenes from the plant, then placing them under specific conditions where they naturally separate. From there, the THC forms crystals—these are known as “diamonds.” What’s left is a terpene-rich liquid called HTE (High Terpene Extract), or “sauce.” You can keep them together or separate them, depending on the product. Some companies sell just the diamonds or sauce on their own, while others package them together in jars or vape carts. Diamonds are one of the longest-lasting concentrates because…

If you look around on the internet for “the cause of praying leaves” you will find a ton of conflicting opinions. Many say it is a stress response to too much light, too little humidity, or too much water. These all cause the plant to increase its need for transpiration, so the plant’s response is to curl up its leaf edges to open the stomata as much as possible. This stress response is recognizably different from “praying” leaves, but is often conflated with the latter in the online debate. I found an article on turgor pressure and why plants pray,…

Terpenes are the plant compounds responsible for smell and flavor in cannabis. They also play a strong role in the therapeutic effects of weed and are well known for their role in the “entourage effect,” which enhances the benefits in comparison to cannabinoids by themselves. Of these compounds, the most commonly abundant ones you will find in cannabis are myrcene and caryophyllene. While there are a few other common terpenes in bud like limonene and pinene, we aren’t here today to talk about the common terps. We’re here to talk about one of the rarest terpenes in cannabis, Terpinolene. “Terpinolene-dominant…

Here’s a look at our THC-A isolate in its final refinement stage. In this step, we use a centrifuge to gently heat and spin off any remaining terpenes, enhancing the purity and potency of the isolate. Once the process is complete, it goes through testing before being prepped for sale. We offer THC-A isolate in a few different formats, but the most popular—and most versatile—is our jarred version. It’s perfect for scooping into a joint or adding to a bowl for an extra kick.

After every harvest we deep clean all of our flower rooms and re-set them for the next round of plants. Live cannabis, and especially big dense flowers, are the perfect growing environment for all sorts of critters and contaminants. These contaminants like mold, mildew, and pests are constantly present in the world around us. The best way to stop these from getting into your grow is to simply keep it clean. Keeping a clean facility is often the unsung hero of an effective pest management plan. Cleanliness is key!

Cannabis dispensaries are increasingly becoming pillars of their communities, actively engaging in initiatives that extend beyond business operations. In Michigan, for instance, the cannabis industry achieved a record $3.06 billion in sales in 2023, marking a 25% increase from the previous year. This surge in revenue has translated into substantial community benefits, with over $87 million in excise tax revenue distributed to 269 municipalities and counties, supporting local governments, schools, and infrastructure projects. (Source) Similarly, in Illinois, the cannabis sector generated over $490 million in tax revenue in 2024, with a significant portion allocated to the R3 (Restore, Reinvest, Renew)…

Shatter is a type of cannabis oil where the texture is a glass, snappy, less sticky texture compared to other textures of wax. This type of cannabis oil is very sought after by certain types of dab consumers. This texture tends to be less smelly in terpenes, however it tends to preserve and hold on the terpenes for a longer period of time. For example the badder texture of wax tends to smell a lot more in the jar but loses that smell after 8-10 months of storage. Shatter will have more % of the terpenes still in the wax…

After only a week in the greenhouse these plants are taking off! This little beauty is a Gila Monster, one of our HDR exclusive strains. Freshly topped and ready to take-off, this crop is off to a fantastic start.

Today at the Outlaw lab we are using our Rotary Evaporator machine. This machine allows us to do a variety of processes that are essential to producing high quality wax products. To get here, we mixed ethanol with our cannabis concentrate to do a process called winterization (which we will highlight in the future).  In this picture we are boiling the ethanol out of the cannabis concentrate (Fig. 2). We then have the condenser coils (Fig. 1) that catch the gas ethanol and convert it into a liquid where we can collect it for future use. The way this machine…

This Organic Tropicanna Cherry #8 from our outdoor greenhouse is BEAUTIFUL! These dense, purple nugs are so pretty you almost don’t want to break them down and smoke them… but you WILL. 😉 This strain is sweet, fruity, and incredibly tasty! Check out our online store menus to see which locations are closest to you!

Tropicana Cherry #8 may very well be the most beautiful strain we’ve ever grown. The #8 cut, also known as the breeders cut, is the most visually stunning and flavorful phenotype of this strain but with a lower average THC percentage. These colorful buds have amazing tropical citrus flavor with an extremely euphoric “sativa” style high and amazing bag appeal. With all of these traits in one gorgeous flower, Tropicana Cherry #8 is an amazing expression of what a sativa strain can bring to the table.

The previous crop was a massive success, and now we’re onto a new beginning. Starting a new round is always extremely exciting, but especially when the plants look this good on transplant! Our next round of organic greenhouse plants are off to a fantastic start, and we cant wait to slowly reveal which strains we’ve selected for this crop. Be ready for a few new organic options and some familiar faces coming out in the next few months.
