Conception Nurseries is restoring Cannabis cultivars to their original glory through the tissue culture process. Walking into Conception Nurseries feels a bit like boarding the U.S.S. Enterprise.
It’s astoundingly clean. And shiny.
But instead of redshirts milling about pushing glowing buttons, the rooms at Conception’s Sacramento, Calif. facility are packed with bustling PhDs in lab coats and blue nitrile gloves, handling tiny little baby pot plants with the utmost care.
“To date, cultivators have largely been dependent on mother plants to produce clones from cuttings. However, this results in inconsistent harvests with diluted and uncontrollable traits,” says Kevin Brooks, CEO of Conception Nurseries, a cannabis micropropagation lab operating in California and Oregon. The company recognized early on how critical healthy, gen zero clones are to cultivators. “Our plants have consistent yields and grow times, and are pest and disease-free as they are created in lab conditions. In addition, we work to save cultivators money by decreasing their dependency on mother rooms so they can free up valuable, licensed real estate. We want to help growers focus on what they do best: growing.”
Conception Nurseries will exclusively provide cannabis clones to the Cookies Family of growers. “Conception Nurseries’ tissue culture technology will enable growers to receive Cookies Fam genetics in consistent, healthy, superior plants, increasing revenue for cultivators,” the Conception Nurseries team explains. “Cookies is one of the most acclaimed brands in the cannabis industry, earning a global reputation for iconic, super-premium quality cannabis products. Utilizing Conception Nurseries’ technology, growers will be able to scale with greater confidence, reliably sourcing from Cookies’ diverse portfolio of cannabis strains.”
