Genetics are the bread and butter of this business and as of right now, everyone wants to keep their recipe a secret.

All of the information behind a strains history, characteristics and cannabinoids are located within the plants genes. The idea of the genetics in a cannabis plant are very similar to our own; they have a biological sequence used to identify them, aka DNA. Whenever a plant reproduces, whether artificially by clone or through a hermaphrodite, its DNA is passed on to the next generation and continues to evolve.

There’s an almost shameful lack of transparency when it comes to genetics in the cannabis industry. Growers spend countless amounts of time trying to improperly name or re-name things out of the desire to keep a strain’s true genetics all to oneself. The Strain Fax was created to bust down that barrier and be your eyes on the inside. As your industry resource for all things cannabis cultivation and product education, my only goal is to provide you with #TheStrainFax and the inside scoop on the latest products and the companies that produce them.
