Genetics & Lab Services

Does Mother clean up ACMPR genetics?

No. Health Canada does not allow for this at this time.

If I give you access to my genetics how can you ensure privacy?

Your intellectual property is safe with mother. When onboarding clients’ genetics we safeguard and conceal the identity of every specimen. We allocate random identifying codes to ensure privacy from both external and internal personnel.

What is security like at Mother?

We restrict and monitor access to sites across the facility. Both employee and visitor access are carefully controlled.

Do you guys do Quality Assurance?

We guarantee a rigorous series of checks and balances before any plant leaves the facility. QA is a driving force at Mother and we pride ourselves in staying ahead of the curve not just meeting industry regulations but exceeding the expectations.

Where do you perform tissue culture techniques and lab services?

Our state-of-the-art Tissue Culture Lab is the birthplace for immaculately conceived clones. Advanced micropropogation happens in this scientific, hygienically sealed space.

What other procedures do you have in place?

Our facility practices detailed standard operating procedures across the board. We are extremely diligent and organized with all procedures and practices within the farm. Our SOPs are integrated into the company culture.

Plants & Growing

How big are the quick picks, clones and teens?

  • Traditional Clones are 5-7” Tall
  • Quick PicksTM are 3-5” Tall
  • Teen plants are 7-11” Tall

Size and morphology may vary slightly between cultivars.

What makes your plants superior?

Our plants are not only guaranteed pest, pathogen and virus free but they are grown and nurtured from TC to plant delivery by a team of experts in tissue culture lab techniques, propagation, production, cultivation, quality assurance and supply chain. We are a team of legacy growers with a proven track record of working in cannabis. We are dedicated to our craft.

What are the suggested vegging times?

Teens: 7-14 days max

Quick Picks/Clones: 14-18 days (until desirable height is reached)

Are clones better than growing from seed?

Yes. Cloning is the only way to guarantee the consistent genetic traits that were selected from the mother plant will be delivered plant after plant. These desired genetic traits will be carried over including cannabinoid profile, terpene profile, size, morphology and plant productivity.

In business, delivering a consistent, quality experience to your customers is king. The curated process of phenohunting a winning combination of genetics is vital and needs to be protected. Mother’s clone, quick pick and teen starter material helps our clients to increase their revenue, eliminate risks, create reliable forecasting and get the start they need to cultivate beautiful plants.
