Event Overview:
“Good is not a Number” provides meaningful principles and practices that impact all phases of processing cannabis based on formulation centric processing. Discover how your process results compare with industry standards. Monitoring processes in real-time or nearly real-time provides information that can be used to make changes to optimize the predetermined outcomes. What are the sources of potential errors? How can the key factors be determined? What is the impact on the speed, selectivity, scale, and spend ($)? Data provides information and informed decisions with a meaningful impact on the company.
Key Learning:
- Effects on type and frequency of feedback to process.
- Determining the key variables in a process.
- Implementing a plan for process feedback.

Cannabis genetics fundamentally dictate the plant's potential for chemical signatures, including cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and physical traits, such as yield. Cultivators use selective techniques, such as "stacking," to enhance specific compounds. Ultimately, successful cultivation involves balancing superior genetics with environmental "levers" to optimize gene expression and create targeted strains.
