Cannabis agronomic science is advancing at a frenetic pace through the social construct of “hemp” in the United States. The dizzying array of data being generated by universities, private companies, and committed individuals have critical implica...
Here is a glimpse into what it takes to breed triploid cannabis. From the years it takes to isolate and inbreed the parents, to almost a year for a single batch of seed production - it ain't easy. We think its worth it.
By Matthew Otten, Oregon CBD Research Chemistry Lab DirectorIt’s that time of year when we receive messages from customers about lab results. We love to celebrate successes and are here to help troubleshoot less than successes. We are regularly dis...
In a groundbreaking new publication featured in Frontiers of Agronomy, scientists Paul D. Mihalyov Ph.D and Oregon CBD's Andrea Garfinkel Ph.D, explain the isolation and identification of a key gene responsible for powdery mildew resistance in cannab...

Our heavy yielding classic, Lifter, is named after the "Mortgage Lifter" heirloom tomato variety, as a dedication to our mom, the queen of heirloom tomatoes and hillside gardening. She taught us how to cultivate, both in the field and the garde...
The science behind triploid cannabis varieties is remarkably simple - but the process to getting our varieties into triploid form has been a 3 year project. Learn more about the exciting advancements for the cannabis industry as well as some more inf...
Are your CBD hemp plants going to have above 0.3% total THC as dried flower? Most likely, learn why. We are proud to introduce our CBDV rich cultivars which will remain between the lines.
By Andrea GarfinkelWith our molecular marker-assisted breeding program in full force, we're having to call in robot reinforcements to help us keep up! Don't worry, the robot hasn't replaced any of our scientists. Our moves towards automation ju...
We are excited to be working with some great people on some meaningful projects, here are a few of the collaborations we had going on in 2020.Pat Hayes, Oregon State UniversityWe are working with Pat’s lab on tissue culture experiments to induce ha...
In recent years there has been a big buzz building around novel cannabinoids. Initially THC and CBD were the only go to’s for human consumption, but the desire to explore and experience the unknown has led to consumers and health professionals alik...
Female cannabis plants are often threatened by male pollen coming from a neighbor's garden. Now though, regular breeding has created the first cannabis triploid plants. This naturally occurring plant type not only is impervious to unexpected pollen, ...
How did we create 100% federally legal varieties for 2021? Seth explains the 3 year "varinization" breeding program implemented by the Oregon CBD team with Medicinal Genomics's Ben Amirault. We can't wait to get these CBDV and CBGV rich seed varietie...
