For Medical Users
Test the strain yourself before you buy or ask your local cannabis provider
to show you the menu according to analysis results. It is best to keep
a journal of strains that you consume to treat your symptoms. As you find
strains that work for you, you will see a correlation between the analysis
and those particular strains.
For Pharmacist & Care-takers
Monitoring the percentage rate of change of the cannabinoids during storage,
in terms of the amount of acids present and the presence of the degradation
products (due to aging & oxidation) of THC (= CBN) and the forming
of degradation products of CBD (= Canabielsoin) and CBC (= Cannabicyclol).
Display the fingerprints and THC% of your varieties ‘’on the
menu’’
Clear information for the customers, on the desk!
For Growers
CAT is used for harvesting, storage and quality control.
For Horticulturists & Breeders
Monitoring the percentage rate of change of the cannabinoids in the profile
& change in THC percentage by changing one of the environmental parameters
during the growth stage.
Determine the difference in the cannabinoid profiles of your F1-offspring
and compare the profiles with the parents, P1en P2 and make your selection!.
It helps selecting appropriate strains to meet ‘’your’’
needs
Variety recognition; The fingerprint reveals dominant, cannabinol expressing
genes in the offspring, from one or both of the parents P1 and P2.
The influences of maturity1, age, storage conditions and geographical
origin on the cannabinoid profile of Cannabis species.
.
The biosynthesis of cannabinoids and other terpenes parallels the developmental
stages of the calyx (five-part carpel structure of the staminate and pistillate
flower.) and associated resin-producing glandular trichomes.
Determination of maturational stage and timing of the harvest is based
on the average calyx and
resin condition (fingerprint) CAT is used to compare cannabinoid readouts
to select parents for your breeding programme. If you were interested
in breeding two strains, you would take fresh cannabis flowers from each
strain and analyze them for cannabinoids. You can breed two strains that
are complimentary or dissimilar ( for example both P1 are high in CBG
( = ‘’hashish’’ like variety, and rare in the
marihuana community), or one is high in CBG, or one is high in CBG and
the other is high in CBN. Once you have bred the two, you can analyze
the flowers of the offspring to see the results of your breeding programme,
and observe hybrid vigour you’ve created, as well as her successive
generations (FI, F2, F3).
