(OTCQB: GBLX) explains that 100% of the mother plants (a plant that in its vegetative state does not produce flowers but only branches and leaves) in their Las Vegas cultivation facility are now products of the GB Sciences tissue propagation initiative. In light of the popular belief that commercial tissue propagation is an 'urban myth' in the Cannabis world, this announcement is a true breakthrough. This fact, added to the consistently high crop yields and sharp monthly revenue increases over the past two months, is a pure innovation success story that is just beginning to emerge.\n\n \n\nClick video to view.\n\n\"We began the program in 2014 as a one-man project,\" said Dr. Ulrich Reimann-Philipp, Chief Botanist at GB Sciences. \"The company has been unwavering in its commitment to R&D, exploring and understanding the plant.

It feels good to finally be able to make a public announcement about a program that has been kept 'in the shadows' until definitive research results could be publicly released.\"\n\nTissue culture is an advanced method of propagating Cannabis. Tissue culture produces genetically identical offspring from a mother plant.  The plants produced in this way can be considered identical twins.  By contrast, offspring produced from seeds are genetically variable, like siblings.\n\nWhat makes Cannabis tissue culture propagation so desirable?\n\n\nTissue culture propagation generates many more (4 x +) offspring from the same mother plant as conventional cloning. Fewer mothers are needed, saving floor space and labor.\nMore offspring from a single mother plant results in ...
