DNA tests: Sex, THC & CBD
Test Cannabis DNA to accelerate production, minimise risks, reduce COGs!
Triffid’s inexpensive DNA tests for gender, and THC / CBD types I, II and III, allow you to identify critical traits within 3 weeks of germination.
- Provides hemp growers with predictive assurance for THC compliance.
- Allows commercial producers to identify and cull unwanted seedlings early, save time, facility & staff resources.
Plant DNA Testing
- Identify male & female seedlings
- Categorise seedlings for major Cannabinoid expression: THC and CBD
- THC-dominant (Type I)
- THC:CBD-balanced (Type II)
- CBD-dominant (Type III)
- More test targets are under development and coming soon. Some that we can disclose:
- CBG-dominant
- CBC biosynthesis
- Mildew tolerance
- Flowering time, photoperiod, autoflower
How much money will you save using DNA analysis?
SELECTION BY VISUAL SCORING

Our gender and Cannabinoid-type tests provide accurate identification in less than half the time and avoid 90% of cultivation input costs (labour, facility space) required to observe the traits at flowering. Apply modern biotech tools early and benefit with bigger profits.
Applications
Our tests aid production, breeding and compliance. Some examples:
- Cull males early from non-feminised seed batches
- Molecular breeding for Cannabinoid Type I, II & III varieties.
- Streamline THC compliance for industrial hemp breeding.
- Manage heterozygosity of THC & CBD alleles for accurate and rapid breeding.
