Triffid take a highly specific approach to test your plants for gender, and the major Cannabinoid products, THC and CBD. Our tests target regions of the Cannabis genome that underlie these important characteristics.
Because we look into the DNA of your plants, we can identify males and females with a small leaf sample collected just 10 days after germination. In addition, we can identify plants that are THC or CBD dominant, and plants that may make a bit of both. These tests are valuable for production and breeding, and saving time, resources and greenhouse space. Meaning, more profit for your business.
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
