A “photoperiod,” from the Greek root photo meaning light, is a period of time exposed to light, generally a cycle of light and dark. The term is applied to plants because many plants begin producing flowers based on the length of the day. This is why some plants bloom in spring while others bloom in fall. In fact, all photoperiodic plants can be placed in one of two categories: long-day plants like peas and spinach which flower when the days are long, and short-day plants like rice and cotton which flower when the days are short. Cannabis is a short-day plant. Not only do the hours of light ma ..read more

The cause is not cannabis but the eye drops themselves, as overuse leads to a syndrome called “rebound hyperemia.” Hyperemia (or hyperaemia) is the increase in blood flow to a certain organ or region of the body, and is not inherently problematic. Perhaps the most common example of hyperem ..read more

When you hear about F1 and F2 strains, what comes to mind? Does it make you think of the top cannabis strain and best of the best at the dispensary? Can you picture a cannabis grower crossing genetics to create the best combo of terpenes? Did those lessons about Punnett Squares from high school finally ring a bell? If so, you were pretty close! In terms of growing cannabis, and other plants in general, some of the terminology can get confusing. The “F” stands for first-generation hybrid or first filial generation.
