Introducing

Please follow this link if you’re interested!
Topics of discussion
included the following:
Sarah
discusses facility and product overview from Olli Brands Inc., a leader in
cannabis edibles in Canada, who has tons of great and unique flavours to try! P.S. You may want to try their chocolate brownies or cookies! Sarah outlines new
product development processes and how Olli can help you bring your ideas to
life.
Mike, from
Professional Cleaning Solutions, discussed cleaning in the industry. Sanitation
is a key concept for any cannabis producer to mitigate any mould or mildew, including
affecting the environment negatively. Mike chats about topics like training,
health and safety, environmental impacts, Good Production Practices (in the
Cannabis Regulations!), sanitation and environmental programs, and more!
Dr. Punja discusses
the various pathogens in greenhouses, which can be compared to indoor growth as
well. Diseases infect roots, foliage, as well as flower and are all important
when growing cannabis, especially for disease management. Dr. Punja discusses
the types of pathogens, as well as biological controls that can mitigate the
diseases. If you have powdery mildew, moulds, root rot, etc., check out this
presentation! Afterall, it is very common, cannabis is a live flower!
Ricardo, our
Senior Microbiologist at BloomLabs, discusses the concerns with bacterial and
mould contaminants. Ricardo walks through the types of bacteria and mould we
test for at BloomLabs in cannabis. Cannabis can have some anti-microbial properties,
but as it is for human consumption, producers must make sure it’s safe for
human health. This presentation identifies contamination points during
production and discusses services Bloom offers to help mitigate issues, such as
air quality testing, environmental swabbing, etc.
Services
from the BloomLabs Cannabis Accelerator Team, Talia and Chelsea, include production
services, from seed to sale, including irrigation systems, substrate
information, pest management practices, and more! We also offer cannabis edible
product development, as well as shelf-life studies! We work with clients from
start to finish to get their products to the market. BloomLabs can work with
you, either on site or online, to grow your company and products
BloomLabs
had a great time hosting this workshop and we plan to host more of these types
of information sessions! We allowed for Q&A period which many viewers got
to ask specific questions about products or requirements. Please keep an eye
out for our next workshop (we’ll also be sending an email out to our current
email list, so please reach out if you’d like to hear from us!)!
