Plant Genetics

The Plant Genetics course offers an exploration into the realm of cannabis genetics, for individuals seeking an advanced understanding of the genetic insights essential for cultivating premium cannabis. Learners will gain a deep comprehension of the genetic principles, techniques, and methodologies that are critical in the breeding and cultivation of cannabis at a professional level.

Commencing with a foundational overview of genetics of biological diversity, highlighting its importance in determining plant quality and traits. Participants will be introduced to the core concepts of genetics, including the structure, function, and variation of genetic material, and how these elements play a pivotal role in the cultivation of cannabis.

The training progresses to detailed discussions on the processes of cross-pollination and hybridization, crucial for the creation of new cannabis strains with desirable characteristics. Through practical and theoretical knowledge, learners will be equipped to manipulate genetic factors to innovate and improve strain qualities, adapting to the evolving demands of the cannabis market.

Obtain focus on understanding and implementing various breeding schemes. This includes a thorough examination of different plant varieties, their reproductive strategies, and how these can be harnessed in cannabis cultivation. Learning from the dynamics of seed populations and the distinctions between hybrid and pure strains to the principles of multi-line breeding and self-pollination (selfing) techniques.

By the end of the course, learners will have an understanding of cannabis genetics and its application in breeding and cultivation. It offers a unique opportunity to delve into the scientific aspects of cannabis cultivation, providing the tools and knowledge necessary for success in the field.

Participants will emerge from the course with a solid foundation in genetics, enhanced by specific expertise in cannabis genetics, ready to apply their skills in various contexts, from commercial cultivation to personal projects. This course represents an essential step for anyone looking to excel in the cannabis industry, offering the knowledge and skills to navigate the complexities of cannabis genetics confidently.
