Our Approach To Clean Cannabis Seed

Clean seeds starts and clones means clean - better yielding healthy plants.

2025 is a big year for me and my family. A big year for this project. Legitimizing a life-long hobby into a legitimate business has been a lifetime of work and passion. Thank you for your support.

In 2021, we purchased a small property in Brandon vermont and began the massive project of demolishing old structures, removing trees, and just last season, beginning to build our home. Currently still under development, this season we will be adding some additional infrastructure to ensure that our protocol for propagation and cultivation exceeds all standards.

Firstly, starting this year, all plant material used for breeding, seed, or clone stock will be tested for HLVd (Hop Latent Viroid) before entering propagation space. Either through out of state testing to ensure compliance, or instate testing to confirm compliance. See our blog for more information on HLVd. New clones and seeds will be germinated and selected from in a controlled space. When selecting phenotypes from large populations in the greenhouse we take measures to not spread any potential disease or pest by keeping tools, trays, pots and hands clean. Regular Pest Management Protocols will be employed only if needed. Namely topical applications of Sulphur, or Safer Soap. We apply organic, regenerative, and sustainable practices whenever possible.

Cleanliness is a priority. We have a 10x10 space dedicated to entirely to inspecting, cleaning and propagating plantlets. Micropropigation in this space will allow us to store and divide plants in a completely sterile work environment. This eliminates the threat of spreading virus, pests, and microbes on our farm. And with clean starting material, it is much easier to keep plants clean as they are transplanted into soil and eventually into the greenhouse. In a short period we should be able mitigate risk of exposure to unwanted pests and pathogens by a considerable degree.

Further, we hope to develop a protocol for isolating meristem culture to clean plant material potentially infected by virus. Offering this service to others would be a great step to combatting the spread of HLVd in the community.

All seed then developed from clean plant selections will yield virus free plants.
