3rd Coast Genetics is a Michigan-based breeding house founded in 2005 by legendary breeder Max Yields, known for relentlessly pushing bag appeal, nose, and flavor through intentional, trait-driven selection.

3rd Coast has engineered and popularized modern staples that are now global benchmarks—most notably Pure Michigan, along with signature releases like Tagalongz, Cadillac Rainbowz, and many many more. 

3rd Coast’s work is defined by loud, unmistakable terp profiles, strong plant structure, and a “never average” standard—genetics built for growers and collectors who care about visual impact and unmistakable identity in the jar.
