Photoperiod cannabis strains are the classic variants of cannabis that initiate their flowering phase based on the hours of light. Unlike autoflowering strains, they require specific light cycles to flower. This post will give you a comprehensive guide on how to successfully grow photoperiod cannabis. What are photoperiod cannabis strains? Photoperiod cannabis differs from autoflowering strains in that the flowering phase is only triggered when the hours of light change. In nature, this happens when the days get shorter. For indoor growers, this is done by switching the light cycle to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness....

Autoflowering cannabis is becoming increasingly popular among hobbyists and professional growers. These special cannabis strains are characterized by their ability to flower regardless of the light cycle. This makes them ideal for novice growers and experienced growers alike. In this post, we explain step by step how you can successfully grow autoflowering cannabis. What are autoflower cannabis strains? Autoflowering strains are derived from the Cannabis Ruderalis plant, which occurs naturally in colder climates such as Russia and Eastern Europe. They have the unique ability to initiate flowering automatically, regardless of the hours of light, unlike photoperiod cannabis strains that require...

Cannabis pollen, the microscopic particles of male cannabis plants, play an important role in breeding new strains and maintaining genetic diversity. Although it contains little THC or CBD compared to flowers, it offers versatile applications, such as breeding, cannabinoid extraction, and as a dietary supplement. Due to its sensitivity to humidity and temperature fluctuations, careful storage is essential. Cannabis pollen is a fascinating but often underestimated part of the cannabis plant that underlines the versatility and importance of this plant.

Cannabis landraces are original strains that have evolved over centuries in isolated regions without human influence. They are characterized by unique characteristics such as resilience, genetic stability and regional terpene profiles. Examples such as 'Afghani', 'Durban Poison' and 'Thai' are cultural and genetic treasures used in traditional, spiritual and medicinal contexts. In modern breeding, landraces serve as the basis for new hybrids and help maintain genetic diversity. However, many of these varieties are threatened by urbanization, genetic mixing and lack of awareness. The preservation of landraces is essential to preserve their special characteristics and cultural significance for future generations.
