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...
Saying goodbye to John Prine from inside one of the greenhouses at our research and development facility. Prine will be missed. Legend.
Congratulations to the winners of the 2020 High Times Hemp Cup! It was an honor to see two of our varieties place on the podium for best flower, but an even bigger testament to the farmers who grew them, as the competition was stiff. A huge shoutout ...
Sowing hemp seeds directly into the field is theoretically the best way to go. Plants never experience damaged tap roots or transplant shock. Growth is never slowed by roots binding in their containers, and the risk of root born issues later on is si...
It's a bit bittersweet to announce amidst a global pandemic, but after 9 months of seed production and a frenetic month of package preparation by our crack shipping team, initial seed orders departed from our facility today. A tremendous thanks to ou...
