Have an HLV-experienced molecular biologist consultant on your team

Let Ganja Genomics help you from beginning to end to achieve an HLV-free grow. We have expertise and can help you with planning, sampling, molecular testing, results interpretation, clean-up, referrals for tissue culture and a personalized ongoing maintenance testing program. Ganja Genomics provides a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with our HLV-testing program to certify your grow operation HLV status. We offer the most extensive HLV testing available by testing one or two samples per plant (root and leaf) by one or two different molecular methods (real-time PCR and LAMP) with commercial kits from different vendors. This comprehensive testing can be done to give you complete confidence in the results or a less extensive screening option via one method is available. Your HLV Testing volume and frequency is up to you – We can assist by testing and assessing a few plants up to your entire operation - all of your current strains and incoming plants as well.  Let us help you navigate the cannabis Hop Latent Viroid waters and work as a trusted partner to figure out and maintain a crop with optimum HLV health & yield, full range of cannabinoids and terpenes. 

We can schedule a no obligation call with you to discuss and assess your situation - the scope of testing and services you might be interested in, our pricing (whether by plant or by project) and your testing budget. Dave is always happy to help and utilize his substantial cannabis science and DNA experience to offer advice that might be best suited to your business.
