Marijuana seed germination is the first stage in the life of a cannabis plant. It begins when a dry seed absorbs water and starts to grow. The hard outer shell slowly opens, and a small white root appears. This first root is called the taproot. It grows downward into the soil or growing medium and […]
Epidiolex is a prescription medicine that contains cannabidiol, which is often called CBD. It is an oral liquid used to help control seizures linked to certain rare and serious medical conditions.

The pot used to grow a cannabis plant has a major effect on the health of the plant. It is more than a simple container that holds soil. A grow pot controls how much space the roots have, how quickly water drains, how much air reaches the root zone, and how stable the plant remains […]
Autoflowering cannabis plants are known for their fast growth and simple flowering process. Unlike photoperiod plants, autoflowers do not need a change in the light schedule to begin flowering. They start to flower based on age. Most autoflowers begin the flowering stage only a few weeks after they sprout. This makes them useful for growers […]

Autoflowering cannabis plants are known for their short life cycle, compact size, and unusual flowering pattern. Unlike many traditional cannabis varieties, an autoflower does not depend on a major change in daylight hours to begin producing flowers. Instead, flowering starts as the plant reaches a certain age. This feature comes from the plant’s genetic background […]

They often look like thin white hairs that grow from small flower sites along the branches and near the top of the plant. These hairs are linked to the female reproductive system of the cannabis flower. Their […]
