Head Honcho
Master Cultivator & Founder
Plantation Premium Seeds — since 2020
Head Honcho is the founder of Plantation Premium Seeds and has been cultivating cannabis for over 20 years across Quebec's varied growing seasons. Starting as a home grower experimenting with outdoor photoperiod genetics in the Laurentians, he developed deep expertise in cold-climate cultivation, germination optimization, and strain selection for the Canadian market.
His hands-on approach covers every growing method — from classic soil beds and coco coir to hydroponic systems — with particular expertise in autoflowering genetics suited to Canada's short outdoor season. Over the years he has germinated thousands of seeds, phenotype-hunted hundreds of cultivars, and built relationships with leading European seed banks to source genetics that perform reliably in Canadian conditions.
At PPS, Head Honcho oversees strain selection, grow guide accuracy, and the overall quality standard of the catalogue. Every article published under his name reflects direct cultivation experience — no marketing filler, no recycled specs. If it's in the guide, he's grown it.
