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...
Growing indoor this winter? Want to trial before you buy for next season?Our seeds are now available in 10, 100, 250, 500, and 1000 seed packs. Home growers are also now offered our entire lineup as well. Our minimum is...10 seeds! We are also excite...
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...
Fasciation is a fascinating genetic mutation in cannabis often mistaken for polyploidy. Watch as Seth Crawford walks through our R&D field of CBDV rich hemp cultivars and explains the phenomenon in a mutant filled crop.
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, ...
The onset of flower! This is a critical time in the field for farmers, who are filled with both excitement and nervous trepidation. It is the time to be walking fields on the lookout for those rare (1/4000), but fully male phenotypes that...
Farm life is certainly different during Covid times but we are thankful to be able to continue our R&D field trials. This year our crew planted several acres of varin rich autoflower varieties in our lower field and we can't wait to see the ...
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...
Cannabinoid synthase genes are responsible for converting precursor chemicals into the cannabinoids we all love and benefit from. The genes are classified based on their nucleotide sequence similarity and the resulting compounds produced--CBGA, CBDA,...
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 ...
