What are those Genetics Terminologies?

We recently added a useful filter to more precisely search genetics on Strainly. It’s called “Varietal type” and is meant to capture (and filter by) the type of varietal listed on Strainly. By “Varietal type” we mean the way the varietal was born/created. When breeding, different approaches are possible, whether mother nature is in command or humans get involved… But what are these varietal types? This is what we’ll cover in the below article…

You may have noticed, Strainly allows you to offer genetics under the form of tissue cultures. While seeds and clones have been quite common starting material among growers, micro propagation is fairly new in the hemp world. What is “TC”? What type of benefits will it bring to propagation and cultivation? How tissue culture will impact the industry?… We’ll try to answer these questions, among others in this article…

How do You Get the Most Out of Strainly?

We built Strainly as a Progressive Web App (PWA) from the get go. A PWA is an app that works in your web browser. Building a PWA allows to give a great experience on Apple and Android devices. It’s also immune to de-platforming/censorship by app stores… Finally, it does not take any space on your device, which allows people with old devices featuring limited storage and outdate operating systems to use Strainly anyway. This article gives you tips to get the most out of Strainly, just like any app you download from app stores.

What Are The Best Techniques To Germinate Cannabis Seeds?

Key contribution from Radicle Technologies’ team.

Strainly‘s goal is to foster the preservation of phenotypes, which indeed means, under the form of seeds (or “beans”). Seeds are essential to genetic preservation, and successfully germinating seeds is integral to long term preservation… This month, we are thrilled to have the team at Radicle Technologies, share their knowledge with our members. They’ll try to cover the different ways to germinate your magic beans and explain the Pros and Cons associated with each method, so that you can decide what’s the best option for you…

The Best Techniques to Safely Ship Clones

Strainly‘s goal is to foster the preservation of clean cultivars, which sometimes mean, under the form of clones (or “cuts”). Clones are incredibly important to the facilitation of genetic preservation, but providing clones to someone located dozens of miles away (or more!), requires a bit of imagination… It’s not always widely known across the community, but there are different ways of providing clones to a patient or caregiver without necessarily meeting in person. In this article, we’ll describe different options (from the cheap DIY to the purpose-designed container) allowing clones to travel on their own to destination.

How to Inspect Hemp Clones for Pests and Pathogens?

Russell Pace – President at CHA Education

Clones are incredibly important to the facilitation of genetic preservation, but all too often they can also be a source vector for pests and pathogens. Because Strainly‘s goal is to foster the preservation of clean cultivars, we are pleased to have Russell Pace, President of the C.H.A, share his knowledge with our members in this article. Russell will try to cover the main pests and pathogens you should be aware of and also some symptoms associated with those diseases.
