(CSE: FFT) (CNSX: FFT) (CN.FFT) (OTCQB: FFRMF) to solve the problem.\n The cannabis industry is expected to experience a significant growth spurt next year following the legalization of recreational cannabis in California and across Canada. While the industry should see significant demand, many companies still struggle to produce reliable products in terms of cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid profiles. Cloning technology could help address many of these problems by creating genetically identical cannabis plants.\n What are Cannabis Clones?\n The most common way to breed cannabis plants is to cross a male and a female plant through pollination to create seeds. Since these seeds are a genetic hybrid of both parents, they don't necessarily have the same characteristics. This creates a problem in the medical cannabis industry where researchers rely on stable concentrations of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids to deliver a consistent therapeutic benefit to patients.\n Clones are tissue-cultured produced plants that are genetically identical to the plant from which they were taken. In its most basic form, clones are simply branches that are cut from the parent plant that eventually grow roots of their own. The benefit is that growers can create exact replicas of their best performing plants that will have the same characteristics, while they don't need to spend the time and money needed to pop new seeds.\n Industrial scale cannabis cloning enables growers to access specific cannabis strains that have ideal concentrations of cannabinoids like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Rather than buying seeds and taking a gamble, these growers can be certain that they're getting exactly what they want in terms of the plant's characteristics. They can then reliably produ...
