If you grow or consume cannabis, you’ve benefited from something Michael Straumietis has done. A grower since 1983, Michael’s mission is to make cannabis an acceptable and everyday part of healing humanity. In 1999, he founded Advanced Nutrients and launched the world’s first and only complete cannabis growing system that Hits the Shift and optimizes all phases of the vegetative and bloom cycles to bring cannabis to its true genetic potential.
At CannMed 23, Michael is leading the Cultivation Workshop that focuses on fighting profit-robbing plant pathogens, such as hop latent viroid (HLVd), fusarium, botrytis, pythium, powdery mildew, and Phytophthora. The workshop brings together industry-leading experts who will cover both efficient and economically sound practices for pathogen management, so you can maximize ROI in your cultivation facility. Get ready to explore the science behind each major pathogen, vectors through which they infiltrate facilities and plants, and proven methods for pathogen prevention. We’ll also introduce effective strategies for pathogen detection, as well as critical procedures to implement for continued facility success before, during, and after a pathogen occurrence.
During our conversation, we discuss:
- How plant pathogens can impact growers’ bottom lines
- The emergence of new pathogens and where they may have come from
- The importance of early detection
- Preventing plant pathogens with good SOPs
- New Advanced Nutrients products aimed at helping growers combat pathogens
