Two of Michigan’s most renowned cannabis cultivators — Hytek and Growing Pains — are teaming up for a one-day live rosin drop combining two of this year’s most-awarded strains, according to a press release.
The collaboration will debut at a cannabis party on Nov. 6, from 4-11 p.m., at Burn 1, a new consumption lounge in Utica at 45411 Park Ave.
For flavor chasers, the limited edition rosin combines the fruity, tropical sweetness of Growing Pains’s Honey Banana with the creamy, lime flavor of Hytek’s Lantz.
Since the event takes place inside a licensed consumption lounge, guests will be able to sample the collab and other products from Hytek and Growing Pains. A dab bar will be available. The neighboring dispensary, Bowdega, also stocks the brands’ products.
In addition to the collab, the brands will also offer promotions, along with event-exclusive merch and prizes.
In October, both strains were named High Times’s “Strains of the Month” for October, and a month earlier, they dominated this year’s Zalympix, a premier cannabis competition often called the “Grammys of Cannabis.” Hytek’s Lantz, a hybrid cross of Ridgeline Runtz and Green Lantern, took home best overall flower and best tasting, while Growing Pains’ Honey Banana won best terps, most unique, and second-best flower overall.
“I’m really excited for the limited drop of Honey Banana x Lantz mixed wash rosin collab with Hytek,” Tom Farrell, owner of Growing Pains, tells Metro Times. “We’re good friends with the stout team warriors and like what Hytek is doing in Detroit. We thought it would be fun to wash two award-winning strains together and make a limited rosin drop.”
Farrell says the idea is to “bring the community together to smoke some good hash, have a couple laughs and there is no better place than Burn 1 in Utica.”
Limited quantities of the collaboration will be available, so it’s expected to sell out fast.
Detroit-based Hytek and Paw Paw-based Growing Pains have built strong reputations for their high-quality flower and solventless concentrates.
