Anyone in Oregon, do tissue analysis for nutrients uptake of your plants? Anyone know if anyone provides that service in Oregon ?
In the past when we were a pot mum & poinsettia grower we would take soil samples as well as tissue samples and send them to a lab in California for analysis, if any uptake of nutrients was dificient we would have time to fix the problem before we lost quality. Can’t mail cannabis samples to other states, anyone know what we can do in Oregon ?
The labs also have people to interpret the analysis for you and make recommendations for make up feeds.

I know you can always send soil samples into a lot of agriculture universities and tissue for most edible crops as well. I doubt if they would do a sample of a Cannabis plant. It may not hurt to ask the worst they can say is no. I’ll email MSU where I have my soil tested in Michigan and see if they do tissue samples on Cannabis? If not maybe you just lit a bulb

Yes, here we have OSU. I will be calling them soon, was hoping farmmer dan would jump in he is or was associated with OSU, I believe.

Probably, but I’m holding off on those until I am ready to go pitch some collaborative ideas.
I doubt OSU would touch rec, but probably hemp, but I hear they are dragging their feet. It sounds like the CSS dept head isn’t too in favor of hemp.
There are a number of Ag Serices businesses for this sort of thing, such as Marion Ag Service and Nutrien Ag Solutions.

Thank you Dan !! I knew you would have the answer. Called Marion Ag , talked to Haden he is happy to work with us, he only has to check with lab tech to make sure he is ok with cannabis. I definitely prefer to have analysis done I just can’t guess what could be deficient when a variety starts showing signs, and all the others look great. Growing tutakomm now 3 weeks in flower and showing all kinds of yellow leaf and light green leaf. And all other varieties look great.
Thanks again

Cool! I was checking back to confirm that Marion Ag does handle cannabis, or has in the past. They will also formulate fertilizer based on your crop’s needs. Good luck!
