Cultivation of cannabis is the production of cannabis infructescences ("buds" or "leaves"). Cultivation techniques for other purposes (such as hemp production) differ. In the United States, all cannabis products in a regulated market must be grown in the state where they are sold because federal law continues to ban interstate cannabis sales.
The history of framing cannabis production as an issue of drug use has suppressed discussion about cannabis production as a massive agricultural sector. [2] In places where cannabis is legal to product, discussing environmental impact is still challenging because so many other issues related to cannabis distract from the conversation. [2]
Baked butternut squash is 88% water, 11% carbohydrates, 1% protein, and contains negligible fat (table). In a reference amount of 100 grams (3.5 oz), it supplies 167 kilojoules (40 kilocalories) of food energy and is a rich source (20% or more of the Daily Value , DV) of vitamin A (70% DV), with moderate amounts of vitamin C (18% DV) and ...
Raw winter squash (such as acorn or butternut squash) is 90% water, 9% carbohydrates, 1% protein. It contains negligible fat (table), except in the oil-rich seeds . In a 100 gram reference amount, it supplies 34 calories and is a moderate source (10-19% of the Daily Value , DV) of vitamin C (15% DV) and vitamin B6 (12% DV), with no other ...
The seeds, which are 12 mm (0.5 in) long and 7 mm (0.3 in) wide, weigh about 4 g per 100 seeds, [10] with the seed coat accounting for about 30% of the seed weight. [5] The seeds often remain viable for months or even years within an undamaged gourd. [5] One hectare of plants can produce 2.5 tons of seed. [10]
Ethephon, a plant growth regulator product that is converted to ethylene after metabolism by the plant, can be used to increase fruit and seed production. [ 19 ] [ 26 ] Although Cucurbita species can generally produce healthy fruit after pollination from the same plant, inbreeding depression can significantly reduce seed number and fruit size.
Seedless watermelon plants are actually grown from seeds. The seeds are produced by crossing a diploid parent with a tetraploid parent to produce triploid seeds. It has been suggested that parthenocarpy could explain the difference in the yields in active compounds of the genus Cannabis. [5] [6] Some parthenocarpic cultivars are of ancient origin.
The flowers of Cannabis sativa plants are most often either male or female, but, only plants displaying female pistils can be or turn hermaphrodite. Males can never become hermaphrodites. [ 3 ] It is a short-day flowering plant, with staminate (male) plants usually taller and less robust than pistillate (female or male) plants.
