// Definition
A laboratory propagation technique where small pieces of cannabis plant tissue are grown in sterile nutrient media to produce genetically identical clones. Enables long-term genetic preservation, pathogen elimination, and rapid multiplication of elite cultivars.
// From the Episode
Rob Clark confirms tissue culture was among the research techniques explored at HortaPharm alongside STS reversal and polyploidy experiments. Bubbleman later confirms seeing a tissue culture lab at the Canera Biotech facility during his tour in Ep 224, noting it as part of their comprehensive approach to production. The technique is increasingly important for commercial cannabis operations maintaining genetic fidelity at scale.
