Noid Factoid from Episode 26

Author(s)Erin McEvoy

Listen to a Noid Factoid from David Sandelman COO, CTO & Co-Founder of Cannatrol.

In this latest installment of the Noid Knowledge podcast, host Evan Friedmann is joined by Dr. Allison Justice, Founder and CEO of the Hemp Mine, and David Sandelman COO, CTO & Co-Founder of Cannatrol. In this episode, Allison and David discuss preserving trichome integrity, and flower quality, plus innovations in cannabis drying and curing, focusing on the Cannatrol technology which controls vapor pressure.

Noid Factoid Transcription:

Hi, I'm David sandelman from Cannatrol. We're the producers of the Cool Cure for drying and curing your flower. And the Noid Factoid is, we are the sous vide for weed.

As David explains in the podcast, his beginnings in the cannabis industry came about by accident: "It was after developing a solution for cheese makers storing and aging cheese and the challenges they had getting the free available water out of the cheese and holding it so it can age. That led on to charcuterie and dry aged meats. And then after seeing and understanding the physics and science of what was going on there, there was the aha moment: I wonder if this would work with a cannabis flower, because the objective is the same, to get the free available water out, to get to shelf stability, and then hold it there. And so we built a prototype, put some flower in it, and the grower said, this is some of the finest flower he's ever produced, after doing it for 20 years. So at that point, we said, aha, we might have something here, because we didn't destroy his flower."

Manipulating Cannabis Genetics: Pulling Levers to Increase  Phytochemical Composition
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.
