Plant Sex & Pathogens

When starting from seeds, cultivators risk growing and nurturing male plants. Plant pathogens are invasive viruses, fungi, molds, and mildew that can devastate a cannabis crop.

Plant Sex Testing

Female cannabis plants provide the industry with cannabinoid and terpene-potent products. When starting from seeds, cultivators risk growing and nurturing male plants during the pheno-hunting stage. Using PCR technology, US Cannalytics extracts DNA from plant leaf tissue, saving cultivators canopy space, cultivation resources, and human error when performing visual inspections for plant gender.

Pathogen Testing

Pathogen testing with US Cannalytics may include incoming clone screening, regular mother screening, and periodic screening in flower rooms.

Utilizing qPCR technology to verify genetic presence or absence of pathogens in plant tissue, US Cannalytics currently tests for the following pathogens:

Hop Latent Viroid Disease (HLVd) Lettuce Chlorosis Virus
Cannabis Cryptic Virus Fusarium Wilt
Pythium Tobacco Mosaic Virus
Botrytis Cucumber Mosaic Virus
Arabis Mosaic Virus Tobacco Ringspot Virus
