      The Next Evolution of Cannabis Genetics

      The Next Evolution of Cannabis Genetics

      With new technologies and techniques emerging, production operations are faced with challenges while scaling to meet demand. Through modern breeding techniques, including marker-assisted and data-driven selection, growers can now transition to F1 hybrid seeds that improve economics, increase yields, and transition from the labor-intensive growing practices of the past. This session will empower growers to make informed decisions when evaluating and choosing the best genetics for your success.
