🪴Choosing the Right Propagation Method for Cannabis Cultivation: Micropropagation vs. Traditional Propagation🪴 When it comes to cannabis cultivation, the method we choose for propagation can greatly influence the plant health, scalability, and overall success. Here’s a quick breakdown of why each method and why it matters: 🟢 Micropropagation : Why It Matters 1️⃣ Precision and Uniformity: Ensures consistent cannabinoid profiles across all plants, crucial for maintaining product quality and meeting industry standards. 2️⃣ Disease-Free Production: Sterile conditions minimize disease and pest risks, leading to healthier crops and reduced need for chemical treatments. 3️⃣ Rapid Scalability: Ideal for large-scale operations, allowing quick production of thousands of identical plants. 4️⃣ Space Efficiency: Requires less physical space, optimizing resources and maximizing production. 5️⃣ Genetic Preservation: Perfect for preserving rare strains, ensuring unique traits are maintained for future cultivation. 🟣 Traditional Propagation: Why It Matters 1️⃣ Simplicity and Accessibility: Easy to implement without specialized equipment, making it ideal for smaller or startup operations. 2️⃣ Cost-Effectiveness: Lower upfront costs with readily available materials, suitable for growers with limited budgets. 3️⃣ Immediate Use: Plants can be directly transferred to their final growing medium, streamlining the cultivation process. 4️⃣ Natural Growth: Allows for plants to grow and adapt naturally, potentially resulting in hardier strains. 5️⃣ Genetic Diversity: Introduces genetic variation, which can be beneficial for breeding programs and adapting to varied environments. 🟡 #Conclusion; Both methods have their strengths, and the best choice depends on your specific goals and resources. Micropropagation is perfect for large-scale, uniform production, while traditional propagation offers simplicity, cost savings, and genetic diversity. Make an informed decision that aligns with your cultivation needs and goals! #CannabisCultivation #Micropropagation #TraditionalPropagation #PlantScience #CannabisIndustry #TissueCulture #GeneticPreservation #CultivationStrategy

Pathogens are winning the game in the cannabis cultivation industry. TUMI Genomics has detected the presence of Hop latent viroid in over 70% of the +1,000 facilities tested. It is now time to change the game of pathogen diagnostics. With TUMIGlow, professional cannabis cultivators will get immediate and actionable results to improve the yield and potency of their crops. Send me a DM to know more about our new technology for early pathogen detection.

💡Cultivation of triploid genetics is important for numerous crops, including cannabis The February #InnovationInspiration is here. And this time we highlight a recent Forbes article discussing triploid genetics in cannabis. The article by Dario Sabaghi provides a clear explanation of triploid genetics and its impact on crop improvement. The article explains: 📗Some plants possess three sets of chromosomes instead of two. This classifies them as #triploids. One way a diploid (two chromosomes) can become a triploid plant is during #mitosis. In this process of cell division, genetic material is duplicated, allowing the new cell to inherit the copied chromosomes while the original cell keeps its initial set. Mitosis can however be disrupted, leading to the formation of extra chromosomes without the usual cell division. Consequently, plants that were originally diploid can become triploid, or even progress to more chromosome sets. ❓ Why is this relevant? Typically, species with chromosome numbers that are multiples of two can reproduce seeds. Those with odd numbers are typically sterile or seedless. This sterility is advantageous for growers, prompting the intentional breeding of triploid plants. Breeders often begin with a regular diploid plant, select a high-performing clone, and then apply a product that interferes with the cell division process. 🌍 What’s the impact? Cultivation of triploid genetics in plants frequently results in higher-quality outputs, at a faster rate, with larger yields. Moreover, they facilitate the production of seedless plants, which are preferred in certain products, such as trimmed flowers or seedless fruits.

𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐒 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐒 This article from Hannah Senior discusses a range of needs from genetics, phenomics and agronomics. At Hiphen we have capacity to develop imaging tools to capture phenotypic expression of genomic advances in cannabis breeding and production. ”From a plant breeding perspective, cannabis is interesting because there is no other developed world commercial crop so poorly characterised by science, both genetically and agronomically.  For much of the last century cannabis has been bred by enthusiastic amateurs in an underground fashion.  Creating and characterising germplasm collections has been difficult.  Indeed, now that well funded research operations have got to work with a mass of popular varieties it has become clear – to quote Greg Baute of Aurora - there is “no evidence of consistent phenotypic, genetic or chemical differentiation between sativa and indica varieties”. #canabis #plantbreeding #agtech

Here's an inside scoop on how we test for Hops!

Cultivating success in cannabis requires a holistic approach. Just as each plant needs consistent care, your journey to uniform growth demands dedication, knowledge, and a passion for excellence. Embrace the science, refine your techniques, and watch as your cannabis garden blossoms into a symphony of thriving plants. Remember, every setback is a lesson, and every harvest is a testament to your commitment. Cultivate not just plants, but a mindset of continuous improvement. #Cannabis #Agriculture #Horticulture #Science

trichome head, tricome cap, what about the nearly dozen types of trichomes that are not API resivoirs??? #Aumfruit distinguishes valuable API resivoirs apart from the many types of non-desirable trichomes and trichome parts. A-µm-fruit -not some wonky HASH'ISH substrate. also, unadulterated aumfruit is a non-juiced non-processed whole-plant product that may yeild greater than 60% cannabinoids.

Sask Polytech and Mother Labs collaborate to enhance plant screening in cannabis industry Saskatchewan Polytechnic's BioScience Applied Research Centre (BARC), part of the Sustainability-Led Integrated Centres of Excellence, has partnered with Saskatchewan based cannabis genetics and lab services company, Mother Labs on an innovative project aimed at transforming the screening of plants for agronomically important traits. This collaboration focuses on the development of PCR-based molecular markers, with a specific emphasis on screening for mildew resistance in Mother Labs' cannabis plants. Mother Labs approached Sask Polytech to explore the possibility of incorporating a PCR-based method of detection for agronomic traits into their breeding program. By leveraging Sask Polytech’s applied research expertise, Mother Labs aims to enhance their breeding and screening capabilities. #cannabis #cannabisgenetics #screening #molecularmarkers
