Uncle Dad, Explained.
Responsible Dad x fun loving Uncle … it’s all about balance and not forgetting to take it easy. Not everything has to be so serious. Sometimes you want a low hitter that you can enjoy all day and still take care of business. Maybe you’re new to this … maybe it has been a long time … if you’re new here, welcome.

Founder & Maniac, UncleDadVibes
Ian Strouss is the founder and creative mind behind UncleDadVibes (UDV) .
With over a decade in licensed cultivation, breeding, and brand building, Ian has produced hundreds of original cannabis crosses known for their rare flavor profiles and individuality. Before launching UDV, he built and ran 3 warehouses in Los Angeles. He then made the move to Sac to operate fully licensed and permitted commercial facilities as Cultivation Manager, Director of Cultivation and Breeding, some CSO hot potato title was temporarily tossed around before he settled with “plant dad” at Phinest Cannabis, co-creating Dubplatez, one of California’s first boutique tissue-culture nurseries.
Through UDV, Ian blends legacy genetics with modern creativity — building a culture rooted in authenticity, small-batch love, and collaboration with others that are still putting up the good fight. Each drop carries intention, story, and flavor. He is trying to keep the genetic pool diverse, fight the war against the low testing stigma and other lies crafted by douches.

High Hill Cannabis
-
Cole Chapman / High Hill Cannabis
Organic, living soil, sun-grown FLOWER. Not backed by investors — just a hard-working, experienced crew that pays attention to every detail. High Hill is willing to take real risks to bring new flavors to their loyal community, and they do it with honesty, consistency, and heart.
Everything they build is connected to their land. The wood for their hoops comes from trees they mill on their own property. Gravel and hay are sourced locally from the county. Companion plants run the rows, and the farm energy is shaped by dogs, animals, and the people who care for them.
They notice everything, care about everything, and move with a vibe that makes the work feel meaningful. I’m excited to build with them for the long haul. High Hill put full trust in the vision from day one and has been instantly welcomed into the UDVGVNG.
They’re the first official partner of this kind — and we’ll be keeping partnerships limited to only a few per state or country.
Craft Farmer

Lance Guyan / Craft Farmer — Dank Mob
The People’s Champ. The Grow Gorilla. One of my best buddies and a huge part of my evolution in this thing. We’ve got a “Gunslingers” genetics project in the works, and there’s no one better to build it with.
Lance has the best information, the best equipment, and a real connection to what people on the other side actually want and need. He’s my go-to when I need to get fired up, fight the system a little, and step on some necks when needed.
We’ve had a ton of fun and a ton of success collaborating — filling the candy needs from California to Michigan and beyond. We hype each other up, push each other forward, and keep the momentum going.
Cannaveras/Rubisco Farms
-
Dennis SanFelipe / Cannaveras / Rubisco Farms
Good friend. Authentic, hard-working, passionate, relentless. I really respect the way he’s unifying Calaveras County and bringing people together to fight the good fight against the big corporate canna groups.
Dennis puts real love into everything he produces — flower, hash, extracts — some of the best in Calaveras and in California as a whole. We’re working on a special nursery together, dedicated and stocked with genetics crafted specifically for the farms in Calaveras. Selected for them, built for their land, and rooted in the community he’s strengthening every day.
Fire Drops UK & Thailand
-
Been friends and partners for years. A beast of a grower and a solid human being. Fire Drops provides the UK — and beyond — with incredible representation of UDV genetics.
They run a private, trusted operation through Fire Drops and CannaHelpUK.
Custom lines in the works.
Advanced Cultivators/Pride Packs
-
Steven Ramirez / Advanced Cultivators — Pride Packs
Met at the Craft Farmer Social Club. He’s growing some of the best flower in Massachusetts — no question. Steven runs the first Latino-owned cannabis brand on the East Coast, and everything he does is rooted in family, passion, and real love for the plant. Amazing vibes, driven to win, and all about quality over everything.
He’s a great person and a good friend.
Pride Packs is the first LGBTQ cannabis brand, and Steven is building it with the same heart and intention he puts into all his work.
