Sharing the Secret - The Green Switch
For over 16 years, we’ve quietly developed a revolutionary grow technique: The Green Switch What began as a personal experiment is now building a global movement.
About ApexStrains
Founded by industrial designer and grower Janti Tahawokh, ApexStrains was born from a commitment to natural, sustainable cultivation and open-source knowledge-sharing.
We:
- Teach hands-on autoflower techniques refined over 16 years
- Design GAIA—the AI grow assistant for personalized support
- Empower growers, researchers, and patients to grow medicine with respect, health, and innovation
At ApexStrains, you’re not just following instructions—you’re part of a regenerative movement.
We believe in open-source, community-driven innovation. Through ApexStrains, you’re not just getting grow advice—you’re joining a movement that blends traditional wisdom, biological respect, and cutting-edge design to bring the super plant into everyone’s hands.
Our Work
ApexStrains is home to:
• The Green Switch, now shared openly through our book Unleash the Power of Autoflower
• The GAIA App, an AI grow assistant that learns from you, supports your grow in real time, and connects you to global experiments and data and the Green Challenge
• The Green Challenge, a research-backed movement that invites anyone—from small farmers to universities—to contribute and validate a new way of growing autoflowers
• The PowerAutoflower YouTube channel, where knowledge meets creativity in every episode
Our Mission
Is to empower home growers, healers, researchers, and visionaries worldwide to:
Grow their own medicine with freedom and wisdom
Reconnect with nature through biodynamic, regenerative methods
Share knowledge instead of hoarding it
Use Al to learn from the plant-not dominate it
Why We Exist
Because we’ve seen too many people suffer—from bad medicine, broken systems, and toxic grow products.
Because we know the cannabis plant can feed, heal, clothe, and awaken us.
And because it’s time we listen to nature—and each other.
ApexStrains is where nature meets innovation. Where growers become healers. And where autoflowers finally show their true power.
The Story Behind the Movement
After decades of growing, I knew I couldn’t keep this method in my notebook forever.
Too many people need healing. Too many growers need freedom.
That’s why I created GAIA.
She’s built from my experience with thousands of plants.
She knows when to switch, when to wait, when to cut — and why it matters.
She learns from you, and she shares that learning with every other grower in the world.
🎥 We’re making a short video with old footage, showing:
- How I discovered the switching point
- How clones from autoflowers became real
- Why sharing this knowledge became a mission
This isn’t about control. It’s about listening to the plant.
Stay tuned — the video will launch soon on the GAIA page.
