You might not be able to see what is going on in your plant’s root zone, but you should know that it matters.

Roots are the foundation of support and provide the resources necessary for photosynthesis and crop development.

Roots form relationships with microbes that can sustain your plant or kill it before you realize that you have a problem.

We can manage conditions in the rhizosphere for plant health and vigor when we understand how plants interact with air, water, nutrients, and microbes.

Dioecy in cannabis is determined by the inheritance of sex chromosomes resulting in populations that typically consist of about 50% male, and 50% female individuals.

Male plants are staminate and develop stamens that produce pollen for wind distribution.

Female plants are referred to as pistillate plants and form reproductive organs which enable seed development at maturity.

A small percentage of cannabis plants will express both male and female reproductive parts. These individuals are known as intersex plants.

When success is dependent on the phenotypic stability of your germplasms, it is worthwhile to understand why genetic expression might drift over generations, how to minimize this occurrence, and what the options are to rescue degraded genetics.

The cultivation of exemplary cannabis begins with the propagation of healthy, vigorous, and phenotypically consistent plants.

Asexual reproduction might not sound like much fun, but it confers distinct benefits when cultivating cannabis plants for intensive cropping systems.

Information about the light environment is perceived by plant photoreceptors.

Photoreceptors are biochemicals which change state when exposed to specific wavelengths and intensities of light.

Photoreceptors collect information about light quality, quantity, duration, and direction.

This information is distributed within the plant through hormones, and other signaling chemicals.

Hormone signaling enables plants to direct growth to optimize light capture, and ensures that reproductive developments like flowering occur during a specific time of year.
