We’re often asked how we produce consistent, high-quality cannabis oil for our wellness products. The answer starts with our clones. Here’s how we select our cannabis clones, step by step, and why it matters...
Why We Use Clones (Not Seeds)
Clones offer consistency, speed, and reliability. Since they're genetically identical to the mother plant, we can predict traits like cannabinoid levels, terpene expression, and flowering time—critical factors in both quality and compliance.
-Scientific Insight: Clones use somatic cell totipotency—the ability of a single cell to regenerate into a full plant. This biological principle lets us replicate elite genetics without starting from scratch.
Step 1: Defining the End Goal
Each grow starts with a purpose: Are we crafting high-THC oils, CBG wellness tinctures, or terpene-rich sleep aids? Our goal informs every clone decision.
Step 2: Selecting Our Mothers
We grow or source mother plants based on:
- Proven COA lab results
- Terpene strength
- Resilience under environmental stress
Step 3: Vetting the Clones
We inspect for root strength, leaf health, and pest-free growth before a single clone hits our soil. Quality starts here.
Step 4: COA Verification
Each external clone must have:
- Cannabinoid + terpene profiles
- Pathogen and contaminant testing
Step 5: Quarantine & Acclimation
Even internal clones undergo a 7-10 day quarantine with pest management and light stress testing before being introduced to production.
