Cloning Advice for Greenhouse Cannabis Growers
March 2, 2022 Most growers rely on cannabis clones to populate cultivation facilities. Some of the most successful cannabis brands have been built on the quality reputation of a single cultivar.
But what happens when genetic assets become impaired? When success is dependent on the phenotypic stability of germplasms, it is worthwhile to understand why genetic expression might drift over generations, how to minimize this occurrence, and what the options are to rescue degraded genetics.
Due to its outcrossing nature, and decades of clandestine hybridization, many cannabis populations are highly variable when grown from seed. Phenotypic consistency for horticultural traits like vigor and pest resistance matters for all crops. For the cultivation of cannabis flowers with distinctive biochemical profiles, a higher order of phenotypic consistency is required.
