Shauncron has quietly become one of the most respected breeders and cultivators in California — a San Diego heavyweight with 20 years of experience, a legendary genetic library, and a sharp eye for phenos that stand out in a crowded market. In this exclusive ZNN interview, Shaun breaks down his origins as a collector, the philosophy behind preserving old-school cuts, and why long-term, multi-generational breeding is becoming a lost art.

He shares the story behind Zero Gravity, the GMO × Oreos hybrid that took 1st place for Best Looking at the 2021 Winter Zalympix and helped launch his brand onto the national stage. Shaun also explains how that win opened the door for his cultivation deal with Cookies Florida — and how he plans to bring true smokeability and quality to patients across the state.

The interview dives into new hunts, including standout phenos from Sour Dub crosses, Raw Genetics ZBX2 lines, and Purely Melt’s Neon’s Lemon Cane — the latter producing his Zalympix Winner’s Flight entry, a wild exotic terp bomb he’s calling Spray Pack. Shaun also gives early details on a second standout keeper with nostalgic “Mexican candy” terps, offering a glimpse into the future of flavor-driven breeding.

This conversation highlights why Shauncron remains a trusted name among connoisseurs: a commitment to preserving history, hunting the next wave, and elevating the art of breeding in a rapidly changing industry.
