Are there any startups working on the actual breeding/growing process itself?
I know in recent years it's been a little easier to work on this stuff openly with medical grows in California, but the vast majority of breeding has been done illegally and therefore at smaller scales than you'd really want. Feels like there's still plenty of room for optimization of both the genetics and the overall growing process, and both areas could benefit from some specialized software.
- melvinmt 10y agoYeah that was the first thought that popped in my mind. If a big chunk of the market is (still) growing illegally, why would they ever come out and join a marketplace?
- maxerickson 10y agoSomeone mentioned their ~breeding startup in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11896916 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11896916
- rezistik 10y agoHey, I'm the CTO @ Flora, we're working on a cannabis breeding platform for selective breeding. There's a ton of room for optimization in the breeding process, let me know if you have any specific questions on it, I'd love to chat.
- Aelinsaar 10y agoWhat's the state of LED growing? Is it ready to take over for HID?
- rezistik 10y agoHID's are still king, but there is a lot of great things happening with LED's. One of the cool things about them is that they can be tuned into specific spectrums that are optimized for photosynthesis.
- Aelinsaar 10y agoThat sounds pretty exciting, especially if popular strains can be optimized for those wavelengths.
- bdr 10y agoWow, a startup that's actually shipping product.
