The Challenge of Molds & Mildews in Cannabis Supply
Molds and mildews pose significant challenges within the medical cannabis supply chain, threatening both product quality and consumer safety. As we navigate this complex landscape, understanding their prevalence and management is crucial to ensuring safe cannabis products.
Common Molds and Their Resilience
Many molds are frequently encountered in cannabis cultivation, originating from outdoor environments. These resilient spores thrive in ecosystems abundant in water and organic matter. While outdoor growth offers natural checks to mold spread, indoor environments can create ideal conditions for infestations, particularly if there is excessive heat and humidity present.
The Importance of Clean Cultivation Practices
To combat the growth of molds and mildews, we emphasize the importance of maintaining a clean cultivation environment. Surfaces in grow rooms must be made of non-permeable materials, such as glass or stainless steel, that facilitate easy cleaning and sanitization. This is essential for preventing cross-contamination and ensuring the quality of medical cannabis throughout its lifecycle.
Effective Sanitation Protocols
Our approach includes rigorous sanitation protocols, using methanol or other non-toxic cleaners to maintain sterile environments. Furthermore, employing sterile wipes in dispensaries ensures that weighing and vending surfaces are consistently sanitized between batches, thus preventing the introduction of mold spores into the product chain.
