Cannabis cuttings are vegetative offshoots of an existing plant that are used to produce genetically identical offspring. Compared to growing from seed, cuttings offer consistent quality, faster development, and a higher success rate. To take cannabis cuttings, you cut healthy shoots from the mother plant, use rooting hormone to encourage root growth, and place them in a suitable growing medium. High humidity, moderate temperatures, and gentle light are crucial for success. Typically, cuttings take 7 to 14 days to form roots. Growing cuttings is a simple method for efficient and rapid propagation of cannabis, allowing one to obtain plants with...

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.

Proper storage of cannabis flowers is essential to maintain quality, freshness and potency. Sensitive compounds such as terpenes and cannabinoids can be degraded by improper conditions. Ideal storage conditions include a temperature of 18-24°C, a humidity of 59-63%, protection from light and air, and the use of airtight glass or metal containers. Silica gel or Boveda packs help regulate humidity. These measures will keep your cannabis fresh and potent.

Harvesting cannabis flowers marks the climax of the cultivation process. Two key indicators, trichomes and pistils, help determine the optimal time to harvest. Careful preparation, such as cleaning tools and setting up a clean work area, is essential. Depending on your space and preference, you can cut the whole plant or individual branches. Trimming the leaves is done either wet for faster drying or dry to preserve more trichomes. After harvesting, drying and curing under ideal conditions ensures the best aroma and full potency of the flowers. Attention to detail throughout the harvest guarantees a high-quality end product that home...
