Rooted in Quality, Built for Growers

1809 Underground is an Ontario-based cannabis nursery dedicated to delivering high-performing clones, teens, and genetics to licensed producers across Canada.

After years of working inside some of the largest cannabis companies in Canada, we saw firsthand how big operations often lose sight of what really matters – plant health, genetic integrity, and reliable service for cultivators.

So, we went back to our roots.

1809 Underground was built by growers, for growers. We designed our nursery from the ground up to eliminate waste, streamline propagation, and give cultivators the tools they need to thrive. Our focus is simple: strong genetics, clean starts, and a system that works.

Our Roots

The name 1809 Underground pays tribute to our roots – literally. Effingham, Ontario, where our nursery is located, was established in 1809. We honor that legacy by building something just as foundational: a nursery grounded in craftsmanship, quality, and a return to the core values of cannabis cultivation. What we grow here isn’t just plants – it’s tradition, innovation, and trust, rooted deep in Canadian soil.

Built on Experience

Our leadership team has managed large-scale production, led cultivation departments, and consulted for LPs and micros across the country. That experience shaped our approach – we know what it takes to succeed in today’s market, and we’ve built a model that supports it.

Whether you’re a micro-cultivator looking to maximize space, or a large-scale LP seeking consistency, 1809 delivers with precision and care.
