Best Cultivator
Sean Roussin
Sean Roussin isn’t just growing weed — he’s growing legends. With over two decades in the cultivation game, this Humboldt State grad and 2019 Farmers Cup winner has leveled up Arizona’s cannabis scene in record time. After earning his stripes in SoCal’s elite grow circles, Roussin brought his mad scientist energy to the desert, founding Vortex Premium Cannabis — and let’s just say the Valley’s never been more lifted. His proprietary strains are the stuff of smoker folklore, each dripping with terps, wrapped in frosty, trichome-packed beauty and testing at high climbing THC levels. Sean doesn’t just grow — he breeds, cross-breeds and fine-tunes every strain from scratch. The result? Gassy indicas that glue you to the couch, sativas that make Sedona energy look weak and hybrids that taste like they were made in a candy-coated galaxy. Word travels fast — rappers and heavy hitters from coast to coast are already co-signing his flower. But you don’t need a co-sign. Crack open a Vortex jar and inhale. You’ll know.
