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.
A young male cannabis plant during early flowering stage. Also called the stretch, this takes one day to two weeks. Most plants spend 10–14 days in this period after switching the light cycle to 12 hours of darkness. Plant development increases dramatically, with the plant doubling or more in size. (See reproductive development below.)
Cannabis is predominantly dioecious, [16] [18] having imperfect flowers, with staminate "male" and pistillate "female" flowers occurring on separate plants. [19] "At a very early period the Chinese recognized the Cannabis plant as dioecious", [20] and the (c. 3rd century BCE) Erya dictionary defined xi 枲 "male Cannabis" and fu 莩 (or ju 苴 ...
The history of cannabis and its usage by humans dates back to at least the third millennium BC in written history, and possibly as far back as the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (8800–6500 BCE) based on archaeological evidence. For millennia, the plant has been valued for its use for fiber and rope, as food and medicine, and for its psychoactive ...
Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Florida voters will see marijuana on their ballots. And in Massachusetts, where medical and recreational marijuana is already legal, voters will be ...
Cannabaceae. Celtidaceae Endl. Cannabaceae is a small family of flowering plants, known as the hemp family. As now circumscribed, the family includes about 170 species grouped in about 11 genera, including Cannabis (hemp), Humulus (hops) and Celtis (hackberries). Celtis is by far the largest genus, containing about 100 species.
Cannabis ruderalis has naturally low concentrations of THC. With hybrid breeding, autoflowering plants can contain levels of THC similar to the strain they're bred with. [13][2][14] Breeders have reported THC content around 25% in some newer varieties while many varieties also have high CBD content. [15][16] Some advantages of autoflower plants ...
Autoflowering cannabis varieties have the advantage of being discreet due to their small stature. They also require shorter growing periods, as well as having the additional advantage that they do not rely on a change in the photoperiod to determine when to flower. Breeding requires pollinating a female cannabis plant with male pollen. Although ...
