2. When it comes to growing a successful cannabis crop, having the right tools at your disposal can make all the difference. In the last couple of years alone, cannabis cultivators have had to deal with an increase in dangers that damage and even kill off plants. Testing kits can be a particularly useful tool to help combat the dangers your plants face and keep them growing to their best potential. What do Testing Kits do? Testing kits perform a valuable service that can keep your crop happy and healthy, while at the same time preventing you from running into costly mistakes. This tool removes the guesswork and helps identify what exactly is wrong with your plants. Testing kits work by taking a sample of the plant(usually roots, stems, or leaves), and analyzing them to narrow down the possibilities of what is ailing your crop. Since many different problems that can affect cannabis plants mimic one another, testing kits help eliminate the guesswork, saving you time and money.

4. When people think about cannabis testing, they often picture potency testing. However, testing for cannabis crops goes far beyond that one niche. Testing kits can help identify problems ailing your crop and set you on a path toward recovery. Some of the most common problems testing kits help with include (but are not limited to); Identifying whether your problem is a nutrient or pathogen problem (https://vernebio.com/is- this-a-nutrient-or-pathogen-problem/) Narrowing down nutrient deficiencies or excesses.(https://vernebio.com/nutrient-deficiencies- and-how-you-can-spot-them/) Identifying whether your problem is a mold or a virus (https://vernebio.com/is-it-mold-or-a- virus/) Testing is a Smart Investment (In More Ways Than One) When it comes to investing in your cannabis crop, testing is not only a safe bet, it’s a smart one. They help save time, money, and even your plants. However, there are a few other ways cannabis testing kits can prove they are a smart investment.

5. Compliance Testing kits can help enforce compliance standards efficiently and without a bunch of hoops to jump through. Many states have safety standards that help ensure contaminated flower does not reach the market. Having on-site testing kits like the ones sold by Verne Bio can help enforce compliance standards, saving you time and money in the process. Avoid Expensive Crop loss Crop loss can affect future ventures down the road. Testing kits can help avoid the revenue loss accompanying dead or damaged plants in a harvest. By identifying the problem as early as possible, you can potentially save your crop anywhere from partial to complete crop loss. Enforce Quality Standards As cannabis becomes more widely available, brands that offer high-quality products will have an advantage. Utilizing testing kits can help maintain quality standards and ensure you are producing flowers that your customers are sure to love.
