This is an especially useful method for greenhouse cultivation, where plants regularly reach the roof or walls and burn or rot from the intense heat and condensation of water on the inside of the greenhouse. To stop rotting and burning while leaving sufficient room for floral clusters to form, the limbs are bent at least [...]

Pruning methodologies are generally used by cannabis cultivators to restrict the size of their plants and promote branching. A few methodologies are available, and each has its advantages and downsides. The commonest technique is meristem pruning or stem tip removal. In this example the growing end of the primary stalk or a limb is removed [...]

Cannabis growing. Grafting.

Intergeneric grafts between cannabis and Humulus ( hops ) have fascinated analysts and cultivators for years. Warmke and Davidson ( 1943 ) claimed that Humbles tops grafted on cannabis roots produced “. As much drug as leaves from intact hemp plants, although leaves from intact hop plants are utterly nontoxic. ” According to this research, [...]

Cannabis Soil Layering.

Soil layering could be performed in many ways. The commonest is sometimes known as tip layering. A long, flexible vegetative lower limb is selected for layering, punctiliously bent so it touches the ground, and stripped of leaves and little shoots where the rooting is to happen. A narrow ditch, six inches to a foot long [...]

Cannabis Layering.

Layering is a process in which roots develop on a stem even though it remains attached to, and nutritionally sup ported by the parent plant. The stem is then detached and the meristematic tip becomes a new individual, growing by itself roots, called a layer. Layering differs from cutting because rooting happens while the shoot [...]

Cannabis Asexual Propagation. Asexual Propagation. Soil Treatment.

Solid media provide anchors for cuttings, masses of darkness to market etiolation and root expansion, and satisfactory air movement to the young roots. A top quality soil with good drainage such as that used for seed germination is frequently used but the soil must be scrupulously sterilised to stop the growth of damaging bacteria and [...]

Cannabis Asexual Propagation. Oxygen and Rooting.

admin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:55:27 +0000

The initiation and expansion of roots depends on atmospheric oxygen. If oxygen levels are low, shoots may fail to provide roots and rooting will definitely be restricted. It’s exceedingly important to choose a light, well-aerated rooting medium. As well as natural aeration from the atmosphere, rooting media might be improved with oxygen ( 02 ) [...]

Cannabis Asexual Propagation. Making Cuttings.

admin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 18:55:26 +0000

Cuttings of comparatively young vegetative limbs ten to forty five centimeters ( four to eighteen inches ) are made with a sharpened knife or razor blade and instantly placed in a container of clean, pure water so that the cut ends are well covered. It is crucial that the cuttings be placed in water as [...]

Cannabis growing – Asexual Propagation. Part 2

admin — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 18:55:26 +0000

As the root initials divide, the groups of cells take on the appearance of a tiny root tip. A vascular system forms with the diagonally opposite vascular bundles and the root continues to grow outward thru the cortex till the tip appears from the skin of the stem. Initiation of root expansion generally starts inside [...]

Cannabis growing – Asexual Propagation. Part 1

Asexual propagation ( cloning ) permits the protection of genotype because only ordinary cell division ( mitosis ) happens during expansion and regeneration. The vegetative ( non-reproductive ) tissue of cannabis has ten pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus of each cell. This is sometimes known as the diploid ( 2n ) condition where 2n [...]
