Hemp Seed Breeding Program

• Selective pollination services and genetics research
• Autoflowering integration with ruderalis to shorten crop cycles
• Feminized seed stock to maximize crop planting potential
• High CBD/Low THC selective breeding using HPLC testing
  
• Industrial hemp processing for specific applications
  
• CRISPR genetic modification (future projects)

Indoor Feasibility Studies

• Understanding precise water consumption needs through closed irrigation systems
  
• Understanding the lighting requirements in PAR (photosynthetic active radiation) for industrial hemp
• Evaluation of varying fertilizer levels and effects on plant growth
• Evaluating cost analysis for use of supplemental LED lighting using COB style systems
• Evaluating and testing pH levels and the effects on nutrient uptake and industrial hemp yields
• Understanding and critiquing disease and pest controls under varying climate controlled conditions

Plant Material Processing

• Comparisons of various extraction systems on various industrial hemp metabolites
• Evaluation of effects on curing and drying on metabolites (THC/CBD)
• Timing crop harvests to ensure 0.3% or lower delta-9 THC compliance with NYS and federal laws
