K...,I have no skin in this.I'll try to keep this a s brief as possible...My family has been in the Mat-Su since the end of WWII...Since the early 70s, a select, small group of people who worked on the pipeline wanted the best money could buy. Live plants were flown to AK from HI, these strains were planted in the middle of May, (Approximately 16"-24")if you know anything about our amount of Sunlight in the summer, coupled with a stand-alone-strong-strain, the nutrients found in the Mat-Su (Palmer- The Butte-Old Knik Bridge area) are off the the charts due to the ancient glacial flows that have deposited  AAA-Top-Soil on the average of 16 ft. It is Always harvested on Labor Day weekend, the buds are always sticky, (I dont care if you cure it for a month, it is still the stickiest, stinky bud to be found) Yields can very from any season to season, but the quality never changes.(unless you're a clueless grower)So, MTF can be MatanuskaNIZED, Sun(light Spectrum) Soil(nutrients) make it MTF
