Research & Development

Using our "tool-box" and our non-GMO approch, our cannabis breeding programs focus on three paths:
Taylor-made strains
Breeding Parental lines and Elite stable hybrid seeds
Enhancement of rare cannabinoids

Breeding Services



The effect of the cannabis plant depends on its active ingredients' composition, which includes cannabinoids (THC and CBD being the most common) and a large variety of terpenes that give the inflorescence its unique aroma.

In addition, the cannabis plant has many and varied phenotypes, from the high and airy Sativa types, through the compressed and low Indica types and up to the Ruderalis types that are characterized by an autonomous flowering pathway (auto-bloom).

Over the past few years, we have scanned, mapped and characterized dozens of traits in hundreds of different genetic lines (strains).

Using advanced technology, we have developed our in-house unique breeding methodology and cultivation capability, enabling the cultivation of plants with a desirable collection of traits - accurately and quickly.

Are you interested in “Boosting” your cannabis genetics with science-based breeding?
You have a good strain, but it is missing a key trait to make it excellent?

Genetic Source Materials



Our commercial propagation facilities comprise in-door cloning rooms and a mother-plants greenhouse with the capability of generating thousands of cuttings monthly.

We offer growers to purchase unrooted cuttings or mother plants. Our clones cover all ranges of cannabinoid profiles approved by the Israeli Medical Cannabis agency- High THC, Balanced THC/CBD ratio and High CBD both for day & night treatment.

The mother plantation, from which the seedlings are produced, is constantly under control by various technological and human means.

Our in-door rooting provides optimal conditions for the cuttings, including illuminance and a lighting spectrum adapted for high rooting performance.

All our cuttings move from the rooting room to a controlled hardening area - where they adapt to the external growth environment.

R&D Cooperation



Even though the cannabis industry is developing rapidly, it is still facing many agro-technological challenges.

Many Ag-Tech ventures in the industry are experiencing difficulties due to the complex regulation, high entry barriers and heavy costs.

RCK is a major hub for cannabis Ag-Tech innovation, using classic breeding besides omics technologies. Our projects include, among others, genomic screening, micropropagation and callus regeneration, volatile molecules characterization, metabolic manipulations, strains designed to create cannabinoids in bioreactors, innovative irrigation and fertilization protocols, and research collaboration with academic and medical institutions.

Thanks to our wide genetic collection and excellent varieties, the independent in-house laboratories complex and a science-based team, RCK is your ultimate research partner.

Genetic Backup



A mother plant is the most important plant for large-scale cannabis growers. Reaching a high-quality mother plant takes a lot of time and effort:
It begins with a long process of selection and validation growing cycles, considering that the selected mother plants will become the source of all the plants grown in the greenhouse.

It ends with the growers' need to rely on these mother plants to propagate clones at the beginning of each new growing cycle.

A quality mother plant is precious, and the loss of such a plant may cause significant damage to the grower.
Therefore, we offer our unique Genetic Backup services. We will hold a backup of your mother plants - cultivated, treated and preserved following the IMC-GAP standards and requirements. Such backup prevents damage and reduces response time if loss of the original mother plant occurs.
