Cannabis Sex Testing, HLVd, Plant Genetics & More with Jackson Farmer | Cannabis DNA Testing Explained
from High on Home Grown, The Cannabis Podcast · host Percys Grow Room
In this week's interview, I sit down with Jackson Farmer, who runs a specialist DNA and sex-testing company for cannabis plants. We take a deep dive into the science behind cannabis sex testing, looking at how plant DNA can be analysed to determine sex at a much earlier stage than growers would normally be able to tell by looking at the plant. Jackson explains how the testing process works, what growers can learn from their plant's genetics, and how DNA technology could potentially save growers time, space and resources when planning a crop. We also get into the increasingly discussed issue of HLVd (Hop Latent Viroid), what it is, why growers are concerned about it, and how testing can play a role in identifying problems. But this isn't all cannabis science! We also take a few interesting detours into dog fostering, Jackson's experiences outside the cannabis industry, and plenty of other subjects along the way. It's a fascinating conversation that brings together cannabis cultivation, genetics, modern DNA technology and a few unexpected tangents. Whether you're a home grower interested in the science behind your plants or simply curious about where cannabis testing technology is heading, there's plenty to get stuck into. 🌐 Website: https://highonhomegrown.com 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/sqYGkF4xyQ 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/highonhomegrown
