SKUNK Approved – Martyjuana™ is a Small Farm Doing Big Things.

Martyjuana™ is a small farm doing big things. All about authenticity, Martyjauana: Plants by the Moon with Sun, Soil & Soul! A Sun + Earth Certified regenerative farm that practices beyond organic standards, and they have no problem saying so right on the product packaging. It’s their 21st year legally growing cannabis, first, as patients in Sonoma Valley and, since 2017, licensed for commercial cultivation in Mendocino County—this is craft cannabis.

Before moving to California, Marty worked at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens, located in Miami, FL. Employed in the seed department, he was easily able to transfer his knowledge of pollination techniques for palms & cycads to cross-pollinate cultivars for potency in cannabis.

Every year, dominant males are selected to breed with dominant females. Marty carefully hand-pollinates and tags specific branches to easily locate the seeds at harvest time. Also well-marked to ensure seeds are only where he wants them to be, thereby preserving the integrity of the rest of the farm’s flowers.

During the 2025 growing season on the farm, alongside our proprietary cultivars, are other garden areas featuring a variety of strains, flavors, scents, and effects from both seeds and clones, sourced from trusted sources. Martyjuana is excited to collaborate with seeds from Purple Caper Genetics to grow SKUNK Approved flowers for the California market.

The Purple Caper has been growing in California for over 25 years and is known for the best fathers in the Bay Area and Central Valley. Frank specializes in designer strains with the biggest yields and highest quality. The entire Purple Caper Skunk Line is now HPLV Free—certified and bona fide by Leafworks.

Martyjuana is an award-winning seasonal farm that focuses on one crop per year, following the natural life cycle of cannabis. The Purple Caper’s Purple Skunk and Skunk Lady seeds were planted directly into soil, outdoors, on the New Moon closest to the Spring Equinox in March. Every single seed popped! That’s always a sign of strong genetics. The seedlings sexed themselves around the Summer Solstice, and females were planted into hugel mounds and garden beds during midsummer. Our healthy plants began to flower around the beginning of August. These Skunks were the first of the seeds we planted this year, so they will likely be the first ready on or around the October Harvest Moon.

From the Skunk Seed Savers website:

Purple Skunk has a distinctive skunky smell with an earthy, wine-like taste. This strain leans heavily toward the active for a euphoric, cheerful buzz. Purple Skunk has high THC levels, so it can be a bit intense for some when it comes to psychoactive effects.

Skunk Lady is the Daughter of the Fire Lady and The Alpha Skunk. Both parents are rockstars! This plant is a pleasure to grow; it yields well, is naturally resistant, and takes abuse! Great for Production or the connoisseur! Very Loud Smell, and Funk! Effects are Intense and complex; long-lasting and blissful.
