The Terp Times, Vol. 001 Welcome to the Source

There’s a lot of noise in cannabis. A lot of fluff. A lot of copycat branding and regurgitated “craft” talk that feels like it was written by someone who hasn’t touched a plant in years. That’s not us.

The Terp Times is our effort to cut through the noise. It’s a window into the process, the philosophy, and the people behind Terp Mansion—our vertically integrated, small-batch cannabis estate in the heart of the Emerald Triangle.

We didn’t build this to follow trends. We built it to do what we love, at the highest possible level, every single day.


Why We’re Doing This

We’re often asked about our methods, our systems, and how we manage to keep everything in-house—from seed to solventless. The truth is: it took years of refinement, failure, rebuilding, reimagining, and staying obsessed with every detail.

But most of that never gets seen. So this space—The Terp Times—will change that.

This is where we’ll document what it actually takes to grow cannabis that stands on its own. We’ll talk about light cycles and irrigation tweaks. About freezing trichomes at harvest, and why we built the Rosin Wrangler the way we did. About gear and sourcing and drought plans. About what it means to do this right.

You’ll get first looks at new drops, detailed breakdowns of our favorite cultivars, notes from the drying room, and stories from the farm that don’t fit into social media captions.

If you’ve ever wanted to go deeper—to understand the thinking behind the product—this is where that happens.


Who We’re Writing For

We’re writing for the real ones.

For people who care about the plant, the resin, the process. For cultivators and extractors and buyers and consumers who still believe in quality over quantity—and who know that great weed comes from great systems, not shortcuts.

We’re writing for the hashmakers who don’t compromise. The smokers who still look for melt. The operators who know what it’s like to stay up all night over a failed run, then wake up early to rehang tarps and reset temps before first light.

We’re not here to sell a lifestyle—we’re here to talk shop.


What You’ll See Here

  • Behind-the-scenes looks at our greenhouses, nursery, and hash lab

  • Process deep-dives into how we grow, wash, press, and package

  • Notes from The Emerald Kid, reflections from the crew, and longform interviews

  • Drop announcements with real context, not just promo

  • Philosophy, culture, and the craft of doing this right


We’ll write as often as we can. When there’s something real to say, we’ll say it. No filler. No fluff. Just what’s happening, and why it matters.

If you're reading this, you're already ahead of the curve. And if you’ve made it this far, welcome. You’re officially in the circle.

Stay tapped in.
