Step inside Bostica, one of Massachusetts’ most technologically advanced, craft-focused cultivation and manufacturing brands. Located in historic Lynn, MASS just north of Boston, this brand rebuilt a former GE aircraft-parts plant into a state-of-the-art indoor grow powered by precision irrigation, data-driven cultivation, and a relentless commitment to quality.
In this episode of CannaCribs, Nate explores Bostica’s full seed-to-sale workflow—from genetics and cloning, to Grodan stone wool production, perpetual nine-room flower cycles, integrated pest management, and a highly controlled dry/cure program designed to protect terpenes and maximize potency.
You’ll also get an inside look at Bostica’s Paxiom automation line, their 8-lane pre-roll system, dual-chamber vape innovation, and how they brought 36+ cultivars to market while navigating one of the toughest economic years in Massachusetts cannabis history.
Whether you’re a commercial grower, post-harvest operator, or equipment geek, this episode is packed with actionable insights on scaling high-quality production, choosing genetics, managing drift, dialing-in irrigation recipes, and building a business that can weather volatile markets.

In portuguese Bostica means little poop 🤣
I’m from the 413 and I’ve had this brand and much like other brands they suck, the buds look good but smell like hay and taste like burnt ass 😂😂😂 I
That Rythem system is absolutely astounding. I've watched a lot of cannabis industry tours and never I've seen anything like that. I will say pre rolls from anywhere don't smoke well anymore because they aren't hand rolled. I get it though you can't pay 100 people to roll joints all day.
Smoking some octane mintz from this farm right now. Not baaaaad, not bad at all. I've smoked for 20 years basically every single day. I didn't smoke any flower at work today. Just hit my vape a couple times. Got home, packed a bowl of mintz and that first hit gave me a nice head rush and I saw stars a little bit.
So much waste with hydroponics. Nothing is reusable. The plants don't seem as resilient.
This is the literal definition of a Chad. Had no interest in growing cannabis until people wanted to lease their commercial facility for it. They harvest everything at 9 weeks lmao with zero nuance of individual phenos. Insane. And they don’t think hand watering rockwool works well… just dunking HLVD wondering why all their genetics start to yield less and not look or smell as good. Holy shit this was hard to watch.
wholesale lowest however prices still the same for consumers. too much taxes on a plant.
Used to work here as the IPM Lead. Fake terps and radsource even when i had the whole building clean. Using ozone to grow without the proper ventilation so we had to keep an ozone reader in the hallways just to make sure, but it was only on half the time… not a great company.
All this to grow a flower is absolutely ridiculous and then everyone wonders why this industry is failing 8ths are 20 bucks😂
I like you stuff that it says it makes you Burt and fart your fan yours fan Dan mail jimmy ray Stewart
Thanks canna you guys r are the best awesome people your fan jimmy ray Stewart Redding California sham wow
Simple… throw money at it… give me a shit ton of money i'll cook all of these brands…
Into the 30’s & 40’s percent….BS!!!
Fuckin mids
💩💩💩
Spoiler alert they suck and there is nothing cool or sick about them. Quite literally a large reason why mass weed sucks lol. Don’t let anyone from MA get in here and argue with you. They literally can’t even get their hands on anything good whatsoever 😂😂😂 they used to be the price haven for New England folks but now that’s starting to go away as their prices start to be less and less good
In California, everything is artificial and fake, then they talk about the Chinese, so you can't see or hear a bigger gang in the West. 😢😢😢
Thank for the remedy from the woman from wooster!!! Good one! Good cannacribs issue!! Thanks
“Lynn Lynn the city of sin you never come out the way you came in” 🎶
I’m from Springfield, Massachusetts and I never heard of this brand.
There products aint even all that. I tried a few imo trash 🗑
I worked for ascend cannabis aka massgrow thst had the first cookies contract…. from renaming to avoid royalties and then losing the cuts due to dudding hahaha . the corporate structure behind growing fails slowly everyday at any facility in mass . a legal pound is like 800-1200 lol are hermed out and ready for preroll city
shit is trashhhhhhh ….. maybe if they flowered it fully lol mass cannabis is trash even the living soil hps guys ….METRC fuckin kills fresh weed and the boardrooms are picking up the trash and renaming it … when they're is a farmers style shop the basement guys will always win .
I have great success cloning with nothing at all just humidity dome
Look pretty but they don’t get you HI
These companies all sell mids at best. Home grown is 100x better.
Lynn Lynn the city of sin!!!!
My phone is clean because I touch nothing in public.
Just dip your clones and some aloe call it a day not a very big problem. Pretty easy to replace clone gel. Just buy a big aloe leaf from the store dip it into it voilà roots every time.
A dublin union on that lid for the tumbler.
This is so FAKE growing.
Go to California for some great products. Or Main.
Mass has the worse cannabis.
Reviews on Bostica are middling at best.
+
Sometimes i see these grows and its like some of these ops have so muvh spacing between plants. Seems like a waste of light to have dead space in a canopy
Looks like mids
I'm pretty down with the weed store scene here in MA. I have never heard of this brand before. My local weed store doesn't sell it for some reason. Must be from a different region or something?
Grow, cure, dry, age, freeze, sift, press into hashish. High concentration, low maintenance, low storage. And you can reprocess the stalks.
Godfather og 🔥🚒🔥🔥🔥
I don't get how some of these growers are even staying open when people are wholesale pounds for 300
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhh yea alright
Strains that test north of 35% – YEA RIGHT – Lab testing is in a horrible, horrible state!
Holy tyranny
Listening to these commercial guys, makes me realize most of them don't know a lot about growing cannabis… AT ALL 💯
Those plants are not healthy you can see the deficiencies and the flower growing looked so sick and the flower when it is done does not look like anything of quality it literally looks like some outdoor mids that is sorry because what I am able to grow in a small boutique home grow or in a huge warehouse with that system they have i would be growing some stuff that you cant even see the the green literally covered in trichomes! I am from Northern California home of The Craft and Exotic flower and strains and home of the infamous Cali Pack! we are literally obsessed with the plants health from top to bottom there should be no sick looking leaves it looks like they are putting too much shit in those cubes and huge industrial tanks the plants are not able to eat all of it hence the burnt ass leaves you really don't need much silica base then cal mag supplement if growing in coco or rockwool or anything else that is inert meaning without nutrients then after the cal mag a base then b base and have to adjust pH at 5.9 in veg and increase it to 6.2 in flower and reduce the nitrogen by 2nd week of flower the key is too remove the nitrogen in flower and you can feed all the way up to flower and it's good that is how some brands are killing it using Athena which is known for cardboard terps and some sort of microbials and sugar or molasses if have a system then some sort of water soluble sugar but all those tanks is not good if you go back and watch Berners Marijuana Mania episode on the Jungle Boys and you see how many tanks they have which is not many basically everything I mentioned the plant does not need all of that in fact it is harmful to the plants I know all of this because of where I am from and everything I watch and listen and hear and observe many years helping fellow friends and growers soaking up game and the genetic drift they speak of is not true if the plant is kept healthy then it will pass on the traits if the plant is sick a little tiny bit not much like their is then it will slowly drift each time not because of being cloned but because of being cloned sick I know people that been cloning a plant they had for 15 years and it's still the same as it was when he got the cut it's all about the health of the plant and it's best to make new mother plant we live and breathe the culture here In California and there is other states doing the same but this grow is not it definitely some mids if that
Pass the word folks…A campaign is currently underway in Massachusetts to repeal the state's voter-approved adult-use cannabis law, with a potential ballot question aiming to ban retail sales, cultivation, and manufacturing of recreational cannabis by November 2026. We're going to have to stand up again, please vote. ❤
The [legal] Mass Cannabis scene is pretty bad. There are very few craft dispensaries around. Cape Cod for example is abysmal. You're going to get highly processed flower that reminds you of the swag you used to get when you were 15. Concentrates all come from sub par flower that doesn't make the cut to be on the shelf for various reasons, bugs, mold, lack of bag appeal or just low testing flower. "Run It"….is basically joke in the lab at this point. Growers have been given way too much leeway because their mistakes are just processed into crap ass concentrates. It's a joke. Black market forever.
