High Park Farms is a Canadian cannabis company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, with cultivation and processing facilities in southern Ontario. Their cultivation facility located near Petrolia, Ontario, consists of over 13 acres of greenhouse situated on 100 acres of land. High Park's world-class leadership team comes with eminent experience in cannabis and global consumer brands. A critical process in industrial cannabis is the production of large numbers of cloned cannabis plants that are ultimately grown to maturity and harvested. In essence, this one step determines the amount of potential revenue per cannabis cohort. Although a critical step, much work is still needed for optimizing cannabis clone production, especially ensuring the best possible conditions for rooting. Currently, there is a lack of scientifically-based information on optimal methods and processes for cannabis production, and thus, increased cannabis research and development is required. High Park seeks to partner with Lambton College's Bio-Industrial Process Research Centre (BPRC) on research that will lead to improved cloning and rooting processes that will be implemented in their commercial cannabis production facility. This collaborative project will focus on cannabis propagation via optimal rooting of cloned plants which is critical to profitability. To optimize root production in cannabis clones, the effect of three cloning methods on cannabis rooting, growth and development, and cannabinoid content will be experimentally determined. The success of this project will contribute to much-needed research and development in the industry, as well as result in $65,000 in annual input and labour cost savings associated with improved propagation. As well, it is estimated that a 4 % to 8 % increase in yield from optimized rooting of clones would generate an annual incremental revenue increase of $10 million.

High Park Farm是一家加拿大大麻公司，总部设在安大略省多伦多，在安大略省南部拥有种植和加工设施。他们的种植设施位于安大略省彼得罗里亚附近，由100英亩土地上超过13英亩的温室组成。High Park的世界级领导团队在大麻和全球消费品牌方面拥有卓越的经验。 工业大麻的一个关键过程是生产大量克隆的大麻植物，这些植物最终生长到成熟并收获。从本质上讲，这一步决定了每个大麻队列的潜在收入。虽然这是关键的一步，但在优化大麻克隆生产，特别是确保尽可能最佳的生根条件方面，仍需做大量工作。目前，缺乏关于大麻生产的最佳方法和工艺的科学信息，因此需要增加大麻的研究和开发。High Park寻求与Lambton College的生物工业过程研究中心(BPRC)合作进行研究，以改进将在其商业大麻生产设施中实施的克隆和生根过程。这一合作项目将侧重于通过克隆植物的最佳生根来繁殖大麻，这对盈利至关重要。为了优化大麻无性系的根产量，将通过实验测定三种克隆方法对大麻生根、生长发育和大麻素含量的影响。 该项目的成功将有助于该行业亟需的研究和开发，并因改进繁殖而每年节省65,000美元的投入和劳动力成本。此外，据估计，优化无性系生根使产量增加4%至8%，每年将增加1000万美元的收入。
