In addition to influencing the vegetative and flowering stages, optimizing light spectra holds significance during the cloning stage of cannabis cultivation. Cloning, also known as propagation, is the process by which healthy cuttings establish roots to generate new, genetically identical plants. Providing the proper lighting environment during this step can substantially improve the cloning process’s…
The junction of pharmaceutical interests with the push for recreational cannabis legalisation is a complex web with far-reaching consequences.

Thisinvestigation of delivery systems goes beyond personal taste and touches on bioavailability, onsettime, and overall user experience. Let’s examine and…
There is a quiet effort to preserve the past in the cannabis industry, where innovation frequently takes center stage. Modern cannabis genetics are built on landrace strains, the historic cannabis cultivars that have organically evolved in particular areas for generations. However, these heritage strains are at risk of being lost to time and hybridization. It’s…
The choice of a cannabis strain in the not-so-distant past was frequently based on educated guesses based on limited data. Broad classifications like “indica” and “sativa” were employed, but they were unable to represent the degree of complexity that characterizes each strain’s effects and advantages. Enter cannabinoid and terpene profiling, a ground-breaking strategy that has…
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a sophisticated network of receptors, enzymes, and endocannabinoids, which are cannabinoids produced by the body naturally. It is essential for preserving homeostasis, a condition of equilibrium and harmony inside the body. Several physiological systems, including mood, pain perception, appetite, sleep, immunological response, and stress are regulated by the ECS. CB1…
As the global perception of cannabis undergoes a transformation, more attention is being given to its potential health benefits. Cannabis plants contain compounds called cannabinoids that have demonstrated promise in treating a range of medical issues and enhancing general health. We will investigate the realm of cannabinoids and examine any possible health benefits in this…
An insidious threat has been silently infiltrating California’s cannabis farms, wreaking havoc on cannabis plants and causing significant financial losses. Hop-latent viroid (HLVd), a highly infectious pathogen, has become a pervasive problem, affecting nearly every pot farm in the state. With its destructive impact on plant health and cannabinoid production, HLVd poses a major concern…
The cannabis industry is a competitive landscape, with growers facing a wide range of challenges such as operational costs, pests and diseases, nutrition, lighting, but even price compression, and compliance to name a few. To survive, growers must not only understand the plant but also focus on producing a superior product. When asked how growers…
