Mentor Turned Peer
Before Wizard Trees became a brand, he was a student of the game. Burning Rope Pharms played a key role in helping him dial in his earliest indoor runs within Los Angeles’ Valley grow scene. More than a decade later, the teacher and the student reconnected—not as apprentice and mentor, but as peers. Their reunion fused cowboy’s OG-heavy gas tradition with wizard’s emerging candy-fruit sherb style, setting the stage for a collaboration rooted in respect and shared craft.
Gas Meets Candy
The breakthrough came when Rope Fuel from Burning Rope Pharms was crossed with RS11 from Wizard Trees. The result was Wizard Fuel, a terpene-rich hybrid balancing creamy sherb sweetness with diesel funk. The drop included ultra-limited 3.5 gram jars and 1.5 gram hash-holes, both of which sold out within hours. That reception confirmed Wizard Fuel’s standing as a modern hybrid classic.
Split the Craft
Each operator brought their strengths to the table. Burning Rope Pharms leaned on living soil methods and LED cultivation, producing dense flowers with earthy undertones and long-lasting burn. Wizard Trees ran hydro phenos that amplified the candy-forward profiles of RS11. Together, they ensured every jar reflected meticulous quality control—no outsourcing, no mids.
Limited and Loud
Instead of chasing large-scale distribution, releases were handled direct-to-consumer. Seeds reached European buyers first, finding footholds in Luxembourg, Spain, and the UK. Hash feminized packs followed, targeting a new wave of cultivators and smokers tuned into the gassy sherb spectrum.
Next Wave Incoming
Work is already underway on Wizard Fuel V2. Early pheno hunts pair the cross with Cream, creating a smoother finish while maintaining the hybrid’s core balance. Burning Rope Pharms continues refining LED spectrums for OG terpene retention, while Wizard Trees scales operations with a new 20,000 square foot hydro facility in Adelanto. Licensing discussions point toward potential East Coast expansions under their shared standard operating procedures.
Bigger Than a Collab
The Burning Rope Pharms × Wizard Trees partnership extends beyond genetics. It is a demonstration that legacy bonds forged through mentorship can evolve into collaborations that define a generation. By merging old-school gas with new-school sherb candy, they carved a lane that reflects both innovation and discipline. Wizard Fuel represents more than flower—it represents trust, continuity, and the strength of legacy partnerships.
