Sen. Shane Jett
Ryan Early
He is also the owner of the Midwest Microbiome Repository, in charge of gathering and testing various strains of hemp and other potentially viable agricultural commodity crops. After testing hundreds of specimens, Ryan discovered the secret sesquiterpene complex that will power the future of natural farming, called Blue Magic
Growing up in Oklahoma, Ryan Early had the unique opportunity to study over one hundred
Indigenous Hemp plants left over from the U.S. military including self-evolving Landrace Strains with
diverse genetic adaptations. Upon collecting multiple selected varieties of Landrace cannabis and
conducting numerous tests for stress factors such as heat/cold extremes, deprivation of nutrients, high and low humidity, root development, light cycle parameters, and sensitivity to these changes, we began noting the different cultivars’ traits.
These Proprietary Landrace heritage hemp genetics which contain specific cannabinoids compounds and sesquiterpenes are unique due to the fact they survive and adapt in the wild in extreme conditions while being uncared for or farmed by humans. Growing, crossbreeding, and observing the expression of dominant genes, Ryan was able to make major advancements.
