Medical Marijuana Jars for Cannabis Preservation

by

If you’re a medical marijuana consumer who smokes, vaporizes, or cooks with cannabis flower buds, it’s crucial to use the right medical marijuana jars for cannabis preservation.

When you consider how much you spend on marijuana in the long-term, preserving a strain’s potency and flavor becomes more pressing.   Instead of relying on whatever tin can or resealable plastic bag you have lying around, jars specifically-built for medical marijuana help preserve those therapeutic cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. Medical marijuana jars are built to keep your flower in a dry and cool environment. If you’re concerned about retaining as ...

Sexing Marijuana Plants

by

Sexing marijuana plants is a crucial part of the growing and breeding process. Cannabis plants are generally dioecious plants, which means that they will produce either female or male reproductive organs. In certain environmental conditions, however, cannabis plants can be monoecious, also known as “hermaphroditic.” Monoecious plants feature both male and female reproductive organs.  When growing from seed, growers keep a close eye on early plant growth to make sure they know which plants are female and which are male. Knowing the difference between the sexes tells growers whether the plant will be used to grow trichome-rich and dense flower buds or to produce exciting new genetics. If you’re exercising your green thumb with cannabis plants, here’s everything you should know ...
