Cannabis Equipment News editor Ben Munson spoke with NSG Co-Founder and CEO Jennifer Michaels about what preservation means for the future of cannabis genetics. The conversation centers on the Yolo County R&D site, where roughly 600 cultivars from NSG’s private repository are flowering side by side. Jennifer explains why the industry should treat genetic diversity as a finite resource and why a cultivar’s name alone can’t establish its genetic identity. She also describes how independent characterization with LeafWorks and Tryptomics is building a scientific record around the collection NSG has spent decades preserving.
“You can’t protect what you don’t understand, and you can’t preserve what you haven’t identified.”
