Launch of F1 Hybrid Seeds
F1 hybrid seeds are expected to hit the market in the first quarter of 2025. This launch will mark a significant step forward in agricultural innovation, offering farmers access to seeds with enhanced performance, higher yields, and greater resistance to pests and diseases.
Benefits of F1 hybrids
F1 hybrid seeds are quite a novelty for the industry, and they are bound to bring significant changes for cannabis growers. “Over the last months, we have received considerable interest from different parties. There’s a lot of excitement in the market. Medical cannabis growers are looking forward to having stable seed genetics to grow, as that would eliminate the necessity of mother plants.” Without mother plants, those mother rooms can be repurposed for cultivation, maximizing canopy space.
On top of that, F1 hybrid seeds could potentially mitigate the risk of encountering hop latent viroid in clones or seeds. “There are a lot of small clone producers,” Mads says. “Oftentimes, many of those varieties are not clean and are really unstable. Not long ago, I was contacted by a grower who was struggling with hop latent viroid. This is an increasing issue in the industry. When you are dealing with razor-thin margins, you don’t have the luxury of a few underperforming plants. When they are infected, they become less resistant to fungi and more susceptible to other viruses.” This is why sourcing starting material from trusted suppliers is of the utmost importance.
Why autoflowers
Speaking of razor-thin margins, Mads highlights how crucial it is for growers to be fast with their crops. “That is why we bred auto-flower plants,” he says. “They grow much faster, and you can even add more light to achieve an even quicker crop cycle.”
Auto-flower varieties, however, haven’t always been the first choice for growers. Mads believes that will change. “The issue with auto-flowers is that their THC levels can be quite low, with a subpar terpene profile. This is a significant challenge in a market that is primarily driven by THC and terpene content. We worked hard over the past few years to improve the THC levels and terpene profiles. When combined with their faster growth, our auto-flowers are perfect for medical cannabis growers.”
Given the often substandard quality of cannabis in Europe, Mads believes it’s time for EU growers to demonstrate the high quality of locally grown cannabis. “Because there’s a constant need for medical cannabis supply, some distributors occasionally source lower-quality flowers. This is unfortunate, considering the excellent work done by many serious growers.” With our new varieties slated for release in the first quarter of 2025, we are confident in fostering a higher-quality local medical cannabis industry.”
