Show Notes

In this episode of Office Hours Live, hosts Cian and Jason are joined by Valin, Lab Director at Endless Biotech, to discuss the front lines of the pathogen crisis in cannabis. Valin shares his journey from soil science to building high-level tissue culture (TC) labs and explains how TC serves as a "reset button" for genetics infected by Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd) and endophytic pathogens.


The conversation emphasizes the critical importance of aseptic technique and the role of meristem extraction in ensuring clean plant stock. Valin also highlights how data from Aroya sensors supports lab success by maintaining healthy mother plants and preventing fungal outbreaks through precise drybacks. The episode concludes with a look at the future of cultivation, including the use of bioreactors, cryo storage, and robotic automation to scale clean production
