ESTtech (Establish Technologies) is excited to introduce 3 incredible individuals who are joining there booth for this event. ESTtech will also be a sponsor for the official CannaCon after-party hosted by CannaConnect of Minnesota!

Who will be at the ESTtech booth?


First, we have Shilo from Massive Creations, a powerhouse in the cannabis industry. Shiloh Massive is a highly experienced and respected cannabis breeder, known for developing high-quality and potent strains over many years. He founded Massive Creations as a seed bank and breeding company, making his unique genetics available to the public. Massive Creations has gained fame for strains like 4 Kings, Thor's Hammer, and Blue Z Burge. Recently, Shilo launched a new brand, SI LO SABES, focusing on all HIGH Octane cultivars such as Black Pineapple Haze, Dali Lambo, OG Eddy Lepp, and Adonai Kush, which are featured cultivars for his new project. Shilo has been cultivating and breeding under ESTtech lighting and is eager to help MN get on the right path with genetics, lighting, and all things cultivation.


Next, a MN native, Cat Franklin from GG Genetics, Highend Genetics of MN, and Súga — an inspiring leader with a proven track record in cultivation, cannabis operations, branding, and advocacy. Cat is passionate about advancing the cannabis industry in her home state of Minnesota while staying true to her roots, “being true to that glue.” Her insights will leave a lasting impact. She may be a feline, but can hang with the big dogs! With over a decade of operational experience, Cat is formerly the CEO and cultivator liaison for GG Strains, the founders of the infamous Original Glue aka gorilla glue 4, she has worked in most medical and adult use states, as well as with various lighting companies sponcering her operations and at the end of the day, her girls are happiest under the advanced technology of ESTtech lighting. Happy Plants = Happy Life!

Last but not least we have Jon, Jon brings over 20 years of cultivation experience, encompassing a wide range of roles from medical caregiving to large-scale commercial farms. After spending five successful years working with ESTtech, he has played a key role in transforming more than 100 farms into more efficient and productive operations.
