Root & Bloom, a commercial cannabis cultivator based in Salisbury, MA, was experiencing persistent root health issues, elevated clone losses, and inconsistent production that limited room-level yield to approximately 100 lbs per harvest.
By implementing in-house qPCR testing, the team was able to eliminate plants infected with Fusarium and Pythium and trace the contamination source to the incoming water supply. This discovery prompted the cultivation team to redesign their irrigation system and implement key operational changes to prevent future infections.
Key Outcomes:
3x increase in room-level yield (104 lbs to 325 lbs)
66% reduction in clone losses pre cycle (70 to 20)
Replaced $4,000/week in off-site testing with in-house testing at a fraction of the cost
Same-day results on up to 70 samples per run
