By Andrea Garfinkel PhD A regular part of our hemp molecular breeding program are DNA extractions. During this process, we take plant tissue samples and extrude the basic building blocks of all life: the As, Cs, Gs, and Ts that make up the genet...

CannMed showcases the greatest minds in cannabis science, medicine, cultivation, and safety - and we are thrilled they have invited Seth to come as a keynote speaker at this year's event in Pasadena! CannMed was born to promote understanding of ...
Mean: average value in a population. Standard Deviation: measure of dispersion (i.e. how spread out are your numbers?)Total cannabinoid (TC) content (the sum of all cannabinoids by weight) is normally distributed within varieties. By definition under...
By Matthew Otten It was a funny thing, at age 52, to quit my steady job to come work at my former neighbor’s hemp farm. I had just been accepted into a masters program to get my teaching credential, and wasn’t so sure how I felt about workin...
Oregon CBD plant pathologist Dr. Andrea Garfinkel has published a research note on her botrytis work on hemp in the Pacific Northwest conducted last fall in the journal "Plant Research." Genomic sequencing of botrytis isolates revealed thre...
By Katherine Otten I joined the company in September 2019 as the Office Manager. Right after the holidays, I started obsessing about what seed shipping would look like, since I wasn’t a part of it last year and so much had changed since then. ...
A note from Oregon CBD co-owner Seth Crawford It is such a humbling experience to watch a thousand farms across the US popping our seeds in the spring. Each tiny vessel contains the potential to carry out a tremendous task. In less than 14...
A note from Amy Kessler It's planting season at Oregon CBD, and not just for hemp. For the last few years we’ve dedicated part of our property to a community garden. It began as just a place to grow food for the crew, but last year we expanded...
Every fall and spring we send off soil samples from across our fields for analysis at our local land grant university – a service most offer at little cost. The simple process allows us to determine what minerals our field is lacking or are in abun...
Hemp fields have become synonymous with miles of plastic mulch. The labor-saving ground cover keeps weeds at bay but creates massive waste piles tossed into landfills at the end of the season. While it is the industry go-to for a reason, there are ot...
Lockdowns are a last resort in public health emergencies; it's the farming equivalent of plowing under your field to prevent further catastrophe. These measures are critical when little is known about the virulence, transmissibility, prevalence, and ...
Understanding cannabinoid synthase in cannabis plants isn't so simple. But with genomic sequencing we are learning the mechanisms responsible for the creation of THCa, CBDa, and CBGa production in plants. With this knowledge we are able to confidentl...
People have heard the hype. Daylight neutral (autoflower) plants are the next big thing in cannabis. Their life cycle is short, allowing for several harvests a year, and they can grow and flower under as many or as few hours of light as they are o...
