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.
