Meristem Culture

The Meristem Culture process is intended to eliminate viral and/or fungal pathogens from your cannabis plant with a goal of restoring it to previously expected outcomes. The overview below is a general idea of what to expect. 

​

Step 1 - Sample Collection

​

• Cutting/plant will be provided for meristem sample collection. 

  • Plant(s) may need to be grown further for enough material.

• Plant will be quarantined and samples will be taken for testing. 

• Plant will be destroyed after samples are taken to avoid contamination. 

• New clones can be provided if additional testing of the mother plant is needed. 

• Lab work to collect samples for testing.

• Lab work to add cuttings to vessels.

• Lab work to add meristems to petri dishes.

Step 2 - Testing

​

• Initial testing to determine what is being mitigated.

  • Full Panel recommended to determine baseline

• Plan for testing approximately three months after growth begins.

  • Additional testing depending on results.

Storage

​

• Petri dishes will be kept in our lab during the mitigation process. 

  • Petri dishes can also be provided to you. 

• Samples will be taken and placed in new media as needed.

You can expect a project to be approximately 6-10 months, as it may require multiple attempts to achieve success. We will assess progress as we go to determine continuation. 

​

The final cost depends on what is wrong with the plant, how long it takes to mitigate, and what tests are needed.
