NEW CannMed Coffee Talk, we discuss Clean Growing and Integrated Pest Management! Zac has been involved in the cannabis industry since 2005. He has had experience with all kinds of growing environments. From outdoor plots in Northern California to warehouses throughout the United States, his journey has taken him to almost every corner of the country. Zac worked at some of the most reputable supply companies and cultivations before landing his job at BioSafe Systems. He is the National Cannabis Specialist for the company, a position that did not exist before Zac was hired. He has comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of cultivation but specializes in integrated pest management (IPM). He has even written the book “Clean Growing: Integrated Pest Management for Cannabis Growers: The Ultimate Guide to Clean Crops & Safe Cultivation Practices That Protect Growers & Consumers” that is available to growers on Amazon. Listen Now: https://hubs.li/Q02G3tRQ0 Our conversation covers: ⦿ How Zac got involved with IPM ⦿ What is IPM and why it’s important to cannabis growers ⦿ How cannabis growers can implement IPM into their operations  ⦿ Common pests and pathogens that cannabis growers are battling  ⦿ Common mistakes cannabis growers make when it comes to IPM  ⦿ And more! 

🎥 Grateful to share my below chat from #CannMed24 with Mark Collins MBA from Highly Capitalized Network-HCN 🌿 Advanced Nutrients US LLC is very proud to have been the partner sponsor for this year's incredible summit - celebrating our 8th year supporting CannMed Events with Medicinal Genomics.

Our founder's CannMed 24 talk on endotoxins and Cannabis. Employees in cannabis production facilities are exposed to large quantities of ground product, which may trigger asthma, allergic rhinitis, and urticaria. In November 2023, the CDC reported a fatal occupational asthma attack suffered by an employee at a Massachusetts cannabis production facility. The subsequent investigation did not determine a definitive cause for the condition; however, the report did mention investigators tested the air for levels of endotoxin, “a pro-inflammatory contaminant associated with gram-negative bacterial growth on organic materials such as cannabis flower”. This piqued our interest. As a provider of cannabis pathogen testing technology we understand that as much as 40% of bacteria found on cannabis flower are gram-negative bacteria capable of producing endotoxin. Yet, there are currently no regulations requiring endotoxin testing on cannabis. We also know that there is a growing number of cannabis cultivators who are using remediation techniques (irradiation, ozone treatment, acid treatment, hydrogen peroxide treatment, etc.) to reduce microbial load on cannabis material and pass compliance testing. This left us with the following questions: How much endotoxin is present on store-bought cannabis flower?  Could remediation techniques mask the problem?  Are endotoxins harmful to cannabis consumers?

Our friends in California need our help to protect acces to naturally occuring THC in CBD-rich hemp products. Legislators who do not understand the nuances of Cannabis medicine and therapuetics stand to endanger the wellbeing of many patients with the newly proposed Assembly Bill 2223. Please take 2 minutes to sign this petition created by our esteemed colleague Bonni Goldstein MD, in support of California patients. https://chng.it/rC4rtGyBrG

Better late than never! 📸 Highlights from this year’s CannMed Events - It was great reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones! Modern Canna led cannabis testing talks on product quality, data integrity, lab shopping, contamination prevention, and boosting efficiency. Again, a huge thank you to Agilent Technologies for co-sponsoring, and to CannMed Events and Medicinal Genomics for organizing yet another great conference that continues to bring the most brilliant minds in cannabis together. #CannMed2024 #CannabisScience #QualityControl

👏 What an incredible experience at #CannMed24! Advanced Nutrients US LLC was truly honored to be the summit's 2024 partner, contributing to such a groundbreaking event that continues to set new benchmarks in the cannabis industry. This year’s CannMed Events summit was rich with knowledge and networking. From the moment we kicked off with the American Nurses Association's recognition of #cannabisnursing as a new subspecialty, it was clear that CannMed24 was about exploring new frontiers. 👉 I had the privilege of speaking on the #Cultivation panel, breaking down the science behind optimizing plant profiles and profitability. Talking about crop steering, advanced cannabis lighting, and the role of genetics with fellow experts, the open discussion with the audience brought out innovative ideas to transform cultivation practices. #CannMed conversations drive real change, with critical topics like Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd), the most destructive plant pathogen in our industry, and the equally troublesome presence of #endotoxins in cannabis. Medicinal Genomics' Founder and CSO, Kevin McKernan, illustrated this call to action in his presentation perfectly, bringing solutions. Uncovering what remediation can hide, Medicinal Genomics advanced expertise in genomics offers a pathway to protect cannabis consumer safety. Learning about cutting-edge techniques like #CRISPR editing from experts like Michael Petersen shows just how far our industry has come. And the exciting future ahead! Thank you to CannMed Events, Medicinal Genomics, and all the attendees, speakers and organizers for making this event unforgettable. Our team at #AdvancedNutrients couldn’t be more grateful to participate and support cannabis’s potential to transform communities, and provide relief to those who need it most. 🌿 Looking forward to CannMed 25!

Many of my nurse friends are together in Rochester, Minnesota for the American Holistic Nurses Association American Cannabis Nurses Association (ACNA) annual conference. I admit I am wishing I was there to connect with the nurse energy. We have difficult choices during “conference season” regarding speaking engagements, attendance, and maintaining work/life balance. IYKYK Bridgerton season 😂 I am reflecting on my time in Marco Island at CannMed24 and the value personally and professionally I found in attending; I am humbled at having been one of the presenters.

NEW CannMed Coffee Talk, we discuss The Need for The Adoption of Plant Tissue Culture by The Cannabis Industry!
 Dr. Shannon Smith received his PhD in molecular biosciences from Middle Tennessee State University. There his research focused on plant biotechnology, with work in Cannabis, Panax, and Vitis tissue culture and manipulation. This led to the development of new and unique technologies for the production of both plants and secondary metabolites. He later founded Greenway Lab, a plant biotech company that collaborates with agricultural partners to implement plant biotech solutions to botanical challenges facing the modern agricultural industry. Listen Now: https://hubs.li/Q02yjkZK0 Our conversation covers: ⦿ How recent advances in plant tissue culture can address major problems faced by the Cannabis industry ⦿ How rapid, reliable propagation of identical daughter plants can be achieved in tissue culture ⦿ How long-term storage of explant tissues can be used to regenerate whole plants ⦿ How developments in meristematic tissue culture protocols can eliminate viral contamination of plant tissues ⦿ And more!
