Surf and Soil
Before the spotlight, Shauncron was a San Diego native chasing waves by day and terpenes by night. The ocean taught him rhythm; cultivation taught him patience. Without a legacy name to lean on, he built credibility through repetition—one dialed room at a time.
Closet Grows and Garage Gas
Between 2007 and 2015, he operated in full grind mode. No sponsors, no co-signs—just basement HID lights, OG cuts, and an obsession with perfection. He tested phenotypes quietly while the city slept, running small rooms devoted to fuel-heavy funk and structure over hype.
Nose First, Numbers Later
While others chased candy terp trends and THC percentages, Shauncron stayed rooted in gas—rubber, garlic, and burnt-tire aromatics. He trusted instinct over analytics, letting scent dictate direction. His guiding rule: the loudest nose wins.
Sunny D and Fritter Inception
A pivotal turn came when he hunted a “Sunny D” pheno of Orange Cookies. Around the same time, he passed Lumpstatus the Sour Apple clone to reverse and cross with Animal Cookies. From that small seed run came two keepers—Reckless Rainbow and Apple Fritter—names coined by Shaun himself, both becoming California mainstays.
Zero Gravity Rises
After years of refinement, Shauncron debuted Zero Gravity (GMO × Oreoz) in 2022—a frost-covered, nose-punching hybrid that fused GMO’s garlic with Oreoz’s creamy depth. The strain landed on Cookies and TRP menus by 2023, catapulting his work into the global conversation.
“This One Floats”
Zero Gravity delivered what the name promised: a heavy, floating high paired with dense resin and a full-bodied inhale. The white ash, greasy grind, and layered nose sparked clone-market frenzy. For many, it marked the return of true gas to a dessert-saturated market.
Podium Proven
From San Diego sessions to Zalmypix competitions, Zero Gravity batches turned heads. Shauncron stayed independent, running tight rooms and letting his flower speak for itself. “Smell this” became both a challenge and a statement of confidence.
Breeder Brain, Grower Hands
Today, his catalog expands through careful R&D focused on GMO-leaning crosses and funk-driven hybrids. Every keeper must earn its place—no shortcuts, no rushed releases. His work reflects the same slow-burn philosophy that built his reputation.
Float Club Only
Rather than scaling up, Shauncron scales inward—smaller batches, higher control, total consistency. The “Shauncron” stamp is reserved for verified pressure; every run is a reflection of his discipline and taste.
Grower, Selector, Anti-Hype Hero
From a San Diego garage to international menus, Shauncron remains devoted to gas over gimmicks. His mantra is simple but unwavering: it has to hit hard. No mid, no sugar—just pure craft, structure, and a little Zero Gravity.
