ELEPHANT IN THE BLOOM, CANNABIS FOR THE 1 Percent.

Before the hype, before the jars, elephants growth was a single cultivator in California chasing perfection. Rumored to be a former Kush Co trimmer, they quietly built respect by producing OG that could stand alongside the most revered cuts in the state.

ROOTS IN THE CRAFT

From the very beginning, this was a grower obsessed with process over promotion. The focus was on quality that could hold its own against any legacy heavyweight, developed through years of meticulous, small-batch cultivation.

FROM TRIMMER TO TITAN

There were no shortcuts. Cold rooms were built by hand. Vapor pressure was dialed to the decimal. Flower rooms never held more than 100 plants. No automation—only full-spectrum control and absolute attention to detail.

JARS THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

The brand’s now-iconic packaging featured Miron violet glass—UV-blocking and premium—sealed with a golden elephant crest and marked with the 818 area code. Inside, only top colas made the cut, each vault-cured to perfection and offering a citrus-heavy gas profile. The packaging whispered luxury, but the flower shouted it.

SPIRITUAL CULTIVATION, ORGANIC DISCIPLINE

Reportedly, males are never culled in front of females—out of belief it disturbs plant energy. Paired with organic inputs and living soil, every crop is cultivated with intention and care. “We don’t just grow weed—we raise it,” is the ethos.

SIGNATURE STRAINS

— Elephants OG: Classic fuel, pine, and lemon with Kush Co lineage.
— Elephants 41: An icy gelato variant with deep resin production.
— IYK YK: Cold Snap × OG.
Small-batch collaborations—such as Zapaya and Mochi—sell out almost instantly upon release.

PREMIUM PRICING, ZERO APOLOGY

— $150+ per eighth
— $300 per gram of rosin
— $800–$1,000 per ounce
This is collector-tier flower, with rare licensed drops—such as Solis × Elephants 41—occasionally surfacing in select California shops.

NO POSTS, JUST POWER

The Instagram account boasts over 26,000 followers, but with only a single post and zero hashtags. Access is strictly by invitation—you DM, you wait, and you need mutual connections. Exclusivity is the point.

BIG TERPS, SMALL CIRCLE

elephants growth grows for the few, not the many. Big jars. Big energy. The true elephant in the bloom.
