Roots are the foundation from which your cannabis grows. 🌿⁣
⁣
The job of the roots is to absorb the water and nutrients in the root-zone environment, then transport those essential vitamins and nutrients up through the plant via the root system. ⁣
⁣
Do you know what healthy roots look like in your own grow?⁣

Standing tall among the crowd! 📏🌿⁣

We had an amazing time with the plants on our latest R&D characterisation run, with 25 lines grown in the winter season which have now been narrowed down to 6 lines that will be grown in spring/summer.☀️⁣
⁣
The next stage of the process involves growing them in optimal conditions to find the winning proprietary varieties!⁣

Our Product Research & Development Manager, Brianna Vasquez ()⁣ at home in the Clean Stock area!

Our Clean Stock nursery program is designed to help operators reduce the risk of disease in their grow, like hop latent viroid. 🦠

By mitigating this risk, growers are able to stock their grow with the highest quality, virus-tested, pesticide-free plants on the market!⁣ 🧬

The definition of an exotic – this is a truly brilliant purple sativa with energetic effects that finishes in 8-9 weeks.⁣

Another frosty throwback from our last R&D Characterization run! ❄️

Research & Development is at the core of everything we do at FRB Genetics, with a combined 150+ years in global R&D leadership on staff working to lay the foundation for smarter cannabis plants & varieties. 🧬⁣
⁣
By partnering with R&D programs from around the world, we are continuing to make breakthroughs in genomics that help deliver stronger, consistent production for our partners and customers.⁣ 👊

🗣️💬 “THCv, along with other minor cannabinoids, terpenes, and even flavonoids, have been a challenging group of traits for breeders to develop while maintaining the level of vigor and yield needed to introduce these products into the supply chain effectively.”⁣⁠⁣
⁣⁠⁣
“The many years of genomics and chemistry research our team has been committed to for cannabis is allowing us to help growers and product companies do so much more with the plant than what was possible, even just a few years ago.”⁣⁠⁣

An FRB Genetics top tip: Water your clones thoroughly! ⁣🚿⁠⁣
⁣⁠⁣
It’s important to give your plants deep watering right after they have been transplanted. This helps to keep soil compact and ensures that there are no large air pockets around the clone. ⁣⁠⁣

⁣

After you’ve received your shipment of graded clones and/or teens from us, there are a few protocols that we recommend for successful acclimation into your grow.⁣
⁣
First up, it’s crucial to properly adjust the light cycles of the plants to properly establish and prepare for a great harvest. ☀️🌙⁣
