Industrial Insight for Cannabis

As the pre-roll market continues to experience a surge in demand, it has attracted an influx of producers looking to capitalize on this trend. Producers must carefully consider their production methods and how they impact the overall smoking experience to set themselves apart from the competition. Two of the most popular pre-roll types are cone-type […]

When it comes to cannabis flowers, freshness is the key factor that can make all the difference in the world. While many may believe that the flavor of flowers is solely determined by the desirable flavoring chemicals and their intensity, this is not entirely true. In fact, there are other factors that come into play,

For cannabis companies struggling to stay afloat, investing in research and development (R&D) may appear as a financial burden. However, R&D is an essential component for long-term success. Here are some strategies that struggling cannabis companies can adopt to make R&D more manageable and affordable: Prioritize: Companies need to prioritize R&D efforts by focusing on

Cannabis flowers are agricultural products that inherently exhibit variability in potency. As a result, Health Canada allows for a 15% tolerance range for licensed producers (LPs), who are expected to label their products according to the average tested value of representative samples. To better understand the likelihood of Health Canada discovering any nonconformances resulting from

In the cannabis industry, regulations focus on live microbial counts to ensure safety. However, dead microbes can also be harmful, as some produce moldy flavors even after their death. To provide a better quality index for consumers, Robust Solutions Pro has introduced the concept of “accumulative microbial load” – the total amount of live and

It is commonly believed, even by HVAC professionals, that symmetrical placement of air inlets and outlets will lead to uniform airflow in a drying room. However, is this true? To investigate, we analyzed the airflow in a room with three rows of air diffusers symmetrically positioned on both lengthwise walls at the lower part, and

Accurately labeling terpene concentrations in cannabis flowers remains a mystery, despite well-known discrepancies between labeled and tested THC potency. Since terpenes coexist with THC in trichomes, their inaccuracy in labeling is assumed to be similar to that of THC. However, cannabis contains over 150 types of terpenes, compared to only THC and THCA forms. Labs

The potency of cannabis products is a hot topic among consumers, with many believing that higher-potency products result in a stronger and faster high. However, the relationship between potency and the subjective experience of being high is more complex than many realize. When inhaled, THC enters the bloodstream and quickly binds to cannabinoid receptors in

Cannabis vape pens have become a commodity, with limited opportunities for LPs to differentiate their products. Both the hardware and the filler pose challenges in standing out from competitors. Hardware, specifically cartridges, is controlled by specialized manufacturers, making it difficult for LPs to distinguish their vape pens from others on the market. Current hardware mechanisms

The temperature used during cannabis drying plays a crucial role in preserving terpenes and removing water. It has been widely accepted that lower drying temperatures can help preserve more terpenes at the same final moisture level as higher temperatures. A fundamental question arises, why do lower temperatures slow down the loss of terpenes more than
