Legacy Genetics Preservation

⚗️ Science First mentioned: Ep. 232

The effort to document, preserve, and maintain the genetic lineages of legacy cannabis cultivars before their histories are lost. Combines DNA sequencing, oral history documentation, and seed banking to create verifiable records of strain origins and breeding lines.

Discussed in ep 232 with Dr. Dominic Corva. The passing of figures like David Watson underscores the urgency. Artifacts of communities (seeds, clones, photos, grow logs) become the primary evidence when living memory is no longer available. Caleb (Steam Chalice) contributes to ongoing documentation work.
