Cannabis Cultivation
Improving Medicinal Cannabis Plant Production
By determining the optimal amount of fertilizer and developing soilless growing substrates researchers have produced high-yielding plants rich in CBD and THC.
Mapping the Genetics of Cannabis
DNA sequencing has allowed scientists to compile robust genetic profiles of organisms large and small, but Cannabis has remained a high-profile exception, until now.
Pyrethrins: A challenging cannabis contaminant
Vanishingly small levels and chemical similarities create a challenge for pyrethrin testing.
Substantial Pesticide Contamination in California Cannabis Clones
Study from scientists at Steep Hill Labs reveals evidence of consistent pesticide presence within cannabis clones.
Good or Bad: How to pick a cannabis testing lab?
We ask a few experts how they’d find the right place to analyze samples or products.
Cannabis Genetics: Building a better crop
Sequencing cannabis helps growers produce better products and ensures that customers get what they pay for.
Cannabis Potency Testing: What’s in your weed?
As the cannabis industry continues to boom, potency analysis is a key step in ensuring the safety and utility of cannabis products.
What Gives Cannabis its Flavour?
UBC scientists have scanned the genome of cannabis plants to find the genes responsible for giving various strains their lemony, skunky or earthy flavours, an important step for the budding legal cannabis industry.
Genetic Analysis of Marijuana Finds Little Evidence of Distinct Strains
Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica look very different, but their DNA tells a different story. A new genetic analysis shows that the names given to different strains of marijuana have little to do with their genetic identity.
