Potcast 236: Cannabis Breeding & Seed Selection
Cora Genetics seed collection releasing soon on AlpineSeedGroup.com.
Ever wonder where your weed comes from? Not just the garden it was grown in, but where in the world the seeds originated? Today’s guest might’ve played a part in how your favorite cultivar came to be.
Hardy Nieto, Founder & CEO of Zen Care Collective and Cora Genetics joins us on the potcast to share stories and insights from more than three decades of travel - tracking, studying, and preserving landrace and heirloom germplasm. Hardy is a pioneer in developing unique cultivars of hemp and cannabis for patients throughout California and clients across the globe.
Cora Genetics developed some of the first international and US federally compliant cultivars of <0.3% THC and >20% CBD, along with other minor cannabinoids.
And Cora Genetics remains focused on the power of the entourage effect, breeding cannabis with higher percentages of minor cannabinoids and specific cannabinoid ratios.
In this chat with Hardy, you’ll hear stories of cultivar hunting around the world, preserving genetics, and the art of choosing the best seeds for your medicine and your terroir.
As I witness big business taking over the cannabis industry, I’m inspired to share voices rooted in the history and culture of cannabis - voices who have invested not only money, but also their lives to bringing plant medicine to the people.
On potcast 236, you’ll hear stories of building community in cannabis breeding and protecting land race cultivars. And the importance of knowing your “why” before choosing the right seeds for your grow. Hardy shares things to consider before buying seeds online and the work he’s doing to develop resilient and drought resistant cannabis plants.
No matter if you’re a cannaseur or a canna curious newbie, this conversation will elevate your relationship with the plant and might inspire your next travel adventure. So smoke ‘em if you got ‘em and settle in. It’s time to get casually baked.
