Plant Tissue Culture
High quality planting material demand is skyrocketing especially for the legal cannabis industry. Seeds do not reliably replicate superior traits of parents and cuttings cannot be produced quickly enough.
Photoautotrophic tissue culture mass produces high quality clones of planting material using no carbon source in media, microclimate control and other biological and physiochemical augmentations.

More plants when we need them, where we need them.

Any piece of the parent plant is used as the starting material in plant tissue culture, this is known as the explant.
The explant undergoes preparation then sterilization before it is introduced to special grow media and conditions.
Photoautotrophic tissue culture is different from standard tissue culture in that it relies more on microclimate control to produce hardier plants in a reduced pathogen stress environment. This method is also cheaper than standard tissue culture, although it is more technically challenging.

We are the only laboratory within the region that uses this method of tissue culture. Biological and physiochemical optimizations are made to produce plants more efficiently.
