Private genetic repository for IP development.
NSG designs, develops, and validates proprietary cannabis germplasm under strict confidentiality while building a defensible, data-rich portfolio of genetics and documentation.

NSG operates as an R&D genetics company. We do not sell cannabis or plant-touching products (no seeds, clones, or pollen). Branded apparel and accessories may be offered via our shop.

What We Do

We partner under NDA to create new germplasm and the evidence package that proves its value.

  • Design-to-spec breeding: classical breeding and selection targeting chemotype, morphology, agronomics, yield, color, and stress tolerance
  • Stabilization & uniformity: multi-generation selection for reliable performance
  • Chemotype architecture: terpene/cannabinoid profiles (e.g., THC, CBD, CBG, THCV) tuned through breeding
  • Environment-specific lines: greenhouse, mixed light, full sun, altitude, heat/cold, humidity, regional terroir

R&D Stack

Phenotyping & Chemotyping

Structured trials from seed to post-harvest: growth habit, resistance, color, aroma, and finished-product analytics.

Genomics Support

Population design, marker-informed selection, and (where appropriate) DNA/RNA characterization to support IP strategy.

Stability & Performance Validation

Uniformity testing, multi-site/season repeatability, and stress testing to document commercial readiness.

IP & Documentation

We assemble a complete technical dossier for internal and external stakeholders.

  • Trait & pedigree summaries with stability notes and performance data
  • COAs & analytical reporting across replicates and environments
  • SOPs & agronomic protocols for cultivation, harvest, and post-harvest reproducibility
  • Organized documentation suitable for technical and legal review

NSG does not provide legal advice; we collaborate with your IP counsel on PPV/patentability assessments and filings.

Programs & Capabilities

Consulting & Cultivation Strategy

  • Cannabis: Indica (wide-leaf), Sativa (thin-leaf), hybrids, medicinal
  • Hemp: high-CBD/medicinal, fiber, oilseed
  • Environments: indoor (hydroponic, aeroponic, living soil) and outdoor (full sun, greenhouse, mixed light, hoop house)

Breeding Programs

  • NSG-led portfolios: unreleased, internally developed germplasm
  • Client-directed targets: custom trait/chemotype objectives (under NDA)
  • Open-source improvements: commercial stability targets using compliant material

Research & Validation

  • Phenotyping & chemotyping
  • DNA/RNA characterization
  • Stability/uniformity testing
  • Environmental stress trials

How We Engage

Discovery (NDA) — objectives, constraints, success metrics

Design — breeding plan, trial design, timelines, documentation plan

Develop — selections, trials, data capture, iteration

Validate — analytics, stability, SOPs, compiled dossier
