Fidels x Carrots is not a cultivar. It is a 2023 collaboration between Los Angeles grower Shant “Fidel” Damirdjian and fashion designer Anwar Carrots — 500 boxes at $600 each, roughly eighteen months in development, packing apparel, accessories, a half ounce of flower, and a 3D-printed carrot holding a hash hole.
The flower and the rosin inside change from release to release. That makes the package label the only thing that actually tells you what you are holding.
Where It Comes From
The drop landed in early February 2023. Each of the 500 boxes carried a hoodie and sweatpants set in a 50/50 cotton-bamboo blend cut and sewn in Los Angeles, a T-shirt, headwear, four Croc Jibbits, the commemorative 3D-printed carrot, and a half ounce of Fidel's flower. The carrot shipped in a custom box built so the tops poked out as if planted in the ground.
Fidel and his right hand Dabber Dan designed every piece of it, down to the bags the clothing shipped in. At $600 a box it was never meant to be a volume product, and nobody involved pretended otherwise.
Fidel's route there matters. Born in Lebanon and Lebanese-Armenian, he moved to Los Angeles at eighteen to join older brothers Aram and Serge, cultivators behind brands including Gas No Brakes, Serge Cannabis, Cookies Maywood, and Fiore. After the family's dispensaries were raided he started as a bag boy in their 1,000-square-foot hydro shop.
He spent nine years turning that shop into a 26,000-square-foot superstore, learning cultivation from the growers who walked in daily. He moved into branding in 2016, and after a 2018 trip to Spannabis in Spain became the name most associated with bringing the modern hash hole — rosin cored into a pre-roll — into mainstream American cannabis.
The Cross
There is no parent cross here, and any listing that supplies one is guessing. Carrots is a streetwear label, not a cannabis parent.
What is documented is the pairing inside each specific release. The original box held 2.8 grams of Zion flower wrapped around a full gram of Rainbow Beltz rosin. The later Fidels x Carrots mini hash holes sold at retail run an entirely different pairing — Euphoria flower with Euphoria rosin.
Two releases, one collaboration name, different plants. That is the whole point: read the package, not the name on it.
The format changes the outcome on its own, regardless of input. A hash hole burns ground flower and a centred rosin core together, so the rosin contributes its own combustion behaviour and a slower, oilier burn. It does not behave like the same flower smoked plain.
Hash holes also commonly hit substantially harder than flower of the same weight. A full-gram rosin core inside 2.8 grams of flower is a lot of concentrate by any measure — treat one as a shared item rather than a solo session.
What It Left Behind
The collaboration itself carries no competition placement. Fidel does: he won Transbay Challenge IV in 2022.
In 2023 he completed an $11 million cultivation facility, built in six months without a general contractor and running 767 flowering lights. His breeding work has since run through the Runtz and Jealousy families, plus European genetics carried back from Spain.
The cultural footprint is the part that outlasted the boxes. A $600 collectible that put apparel, a 3D-printed toy, and a hash hole in the same package is a fair snapshot of where Los Angeles cannabis and streetwear had merged by 2023.
The High Rise Take
Fidels x Carrots is a collectible drop and an infused-product format, not a genetic line. Verify the flower and rosin printed on your exact package before you assign it anything, then take Fidel's hash holes on their own terms. If you want documented genetics instead, start in the High Rise strain library.
