Seven Leaves is a Sacramento indoor flower cultivator led by CEO Tyler "Ty" Kearns. It operates as MTG Investments Inc. under California license CCL18-0000317, a medium indoor cultivation license covering adult-use and medicinal flower, with Kearns and Gary Matranga listed as owners. Every harvest gets hand-trimmed, sorted and packed on site.
The paperwork is current. Higher Origins' license tracker, refreshed from Department of Cannabis Control data on September 16, 2026, shows the license active through September 12, 2027. The jars run from San Diego to Mount Shasta.
From a Six Rivers tent to a Sacramento flower room
Kearns has worked in California cannabis since 2008. Vents Magazine traced his start to Humboldt County, where he lived in a tent in Six Rivers National Forest and grew through crop-killing weather, fire threats and theft. Those seasons shaped the line he gave the magazine in November 2023: the brand is only as good as its plants and its crews of cultivators and processors.
The Seven Leaves brand came together in early 2017, and LA Weekly still called it a self-funded, family-style business when it featured the company in its Best of L.A. Cannabis 2022 issue. Forbes made the same point in April 2021. The founders put in their own money instead of running on credit lines, and the company promotes from within and pays for continued education.
Growth came fast. In May 2018 the Sacramento Business Journal reported that Seven Leaves planned to double in size after winning city approval. By the April 2021 Forbes piece, the flower sat on shelves in more than 300 California locations and the company was profitable.
Nine rooms, rockwool and a harvest every week
The Sacramento facility runs hydroponic rockwool from start to finish. In a May 2024 MMJ Daily feature, the team described 13,000 square feet of flower canopy across nine rooms. Automated drip fertigation feeds plants under double-ended 1,000-watt Gavita HPS lamps, with full climate control and remote sensors that log room data. The state license allows up to 22,000 square feet of canopy.
The schedule never lets up. Seven Leaves harvests weekly, so propagation, transplanting and replanting also happen every week. Mother stock, cultivation, trimming and packaging all stay in-house, and the crew handles the plants directly at every stage.
The lights run on green power. The Sacramento Municipal Utility District features Seven Leaves as a success story for its Greenergy program, which supplies the facility with 100% renewable energy. Kearns shifted operations away from peak hours to offset the program's higher cost, and a Greenergy plaque hangs at the entrance.
Yield comes last in cultivar selection
The MMJ Daily headline said it plainly: "We look at yield last when selecting new cultivars." Seven Leaves ranks visual appeal and plant quality ahead of output. A candidate then spends 12 to 18 months in phenotype selection and small trial runs before it earns a full production room.
That makes the company a pheno hunter as much as a grower. The menu credit for Loma Prieta reads "Bred by GrandiFlora, pheno hunted by us," which sums up the model in one line. Outside breeders supply the genetics, and the Sacramento team picks the keeper. Executive manager Riza Gerodias and Brian Bareis spoke for the grow in the MMJ Daily piece, which also pictured Kearns at ICBC Berlin.
Soda-machine pouches and the 5-gram pay-it-forward
The packaging carries the identity. Petalfast's November 2023 announcement described bright pouches modeled on classic soda machine dispensers, with standard pouches running from 3.5 to 14 grams and smalls in the mix. Five cultivars also came in pay-it-forward 5-gram pouches at the 3.5-gram price: Jupiter Jack, Supreme 41, Grease Monkey, Astro Mints and XJ-13.
The formats stretch past eighths. Seven Leaves sells hand-trimmed flower, 1-gram pre-rolls and trim for extraction. Its Weedmaps catalog lists pre-rolls of Blue Dream, Drip and Astro Mints, plus smalls of Jealousy, Bon Bons and LA Kush Cake. The Astro Mints 5-gram bag still sits on the September 2026 strain menu.
Distribution moves in 2023
June 2023 brought a reset. On June 12 the company posted "Big Changes are coming to Seven Leaves" with a video message from Kearns, and on June 19 it announced a distribution partnership with Helios.
Five months later, on November 21, 2023, Seven Leaves joined Petalfast's California portfolio. Petalfast, led by CEO Jason Vegotsky, ran sales, marketing and distribution in California, Arizona, Massachusetts and New York for brands including Lime, Humo, Yada Yada and Platinum Vapes. Vents Magazine reported the same month that the Seven Leaves plan included licensing the brand into other states and looking toward the European Union and United Kingdom.
The community work stays close to home. Vents also reported that the company makes annual donations to organizations in Humboldt and Sacramento counties and hires locally.
Where Seven Leaves sells in 2026
The company counts more than 300 California stores, and its September 2026 Weedmaps listing names a retail spread that backs up the San Diego to Mount Shasta line.
- Off The Charts in Palm Springs, Sylmar and Sherman Oaks
- Sundial Collective in Banning
- The Green Heart in Mount Shasta
- Connected Cannabis Co. stores in Sacramento and Stockton
At home, KOLAS lists the brand across its six Sacramento stores and Humble Root carries it on its Sacramento menu. The Seven Leaves shop locator runs through iHeartJane, and licensed California retailers apply for wholesale through the brand's site.
The September 2026 strain menu lists 17 cultivars, six of them marked new: Pineapple Fuse, Permanent Push Pop, Caribbean Breeze, Cap Junky Marker, Loma Prieta and Super Lemon Haze. Grease Monkey, Milkshake Grenade, Slush, XJ-13 and a La Pop Rocks x Purple Push Pop cross fill out the rotation.
