Phylos: Redefining Cannabis Cultivation With Feminized F1 Hybrid Seeds
This Oregon cannabis genetics company has set the bar high
Throughout cannabis history, growers have relied on plant cloning for uniform plants, a process that involves cutting from a mother plant in its vegetative stage and rooting it into soil after exposure to humidity and light. What if there was a way to take this time consuming process out of the equation and, instead, plant straight from seed with the knowledge that your plants will be uniform and vigorous with potent, aromatic flower every time? We’re here to tell you that there is, in fact, a way.
Phylos has paved the way for a revolutionary movement in the world of cannabis growing. Their mission is “to unlock the potential of the cannabis plant, improving grower prosperity and enhancing consumer well-being.” And they are doing just that through the use of Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) and Innovative Breeding. MAS works by weeding out plants that don’t contain desired markers in areas like high THC, cola color, stress tolerance, haziness, and other targeted aromas early in the seedling stage to make room for plants that express these traits consistently. The outcome? Unmatched feminized true F1 hybrid cannabis seeds that exceed expectations in quality and yield for the best customer experience with a more labor efficient, lower cost for growers.
This Oregon cannabis genetics company has set the bar high for the future of cannabis production, and they are just getting started.
A Decade of Cannabis Genetics Research
Phylos began in 2014, when a few passionate people stoked on cannabis dove deeper into cannabis genetics and shared their discoveries with the world. Back then, there was little research done on the science of cannabis genetics. This passionate, dedicated team of cannabis scientists and connoisseurs set out to develop genomic tools for cannabis to breed high-quality plants with stand-out characteristics which benefit both cultivators and consumers.The team saw an immense opportunity for cannabis breeding: when MAS is combined with traditional crop breeding methods, cannabis breeding expands beyond targeting the usual desired characteristics into agronomic traits that have been left behind, such as easier to manage plants, disease resistance, and shorter cycles.
Their latest high-THC true F1 hybrid seeds keep the promise of giving growers what they need to achieve uniform crops, flower quality and high potency.
Why Choose Seeds Over Clones?
With a method as tried and true as cloning, it might be hard to imagine a better alternative. Here are some pros to starting with seeds:
Start-Up Production
Instead of cloning from mother plants which takes time, has many steps and requires skilled labor for propagation, planting straight from F1 Hybrid Cannabis Seeds allows growers to start the process immediately. Not only is it efficient, but it’s also been found to shave off a week of veg time in some operations.
Operating Across State Lines
Seeds are the perfect choice for multi-state operators (MSOs). Phylos Production-Ready Seed is the result of many cycles of targeted breeding efforts, with lineages including highly potent and wonderfully aromatic California and landrace cultivars. For operators in any legal state, Phylos seed can be shipped across state lines, providing growers everywhere from Michigan to New York with access to west coast genetics.
