Genetics
Genetics Guide for Cannabis Growth
Genetics play a crucial role in cannabis cultivation, impacting plant characteristics, growth patterns, and overall yield quality. Here's why genetics matter and what to consider during each growing stage:
Why Genetics is important
Plant Characteristics:
Genetics determine the plant's size, shape, and color, affecting how they fit into different growing spaces.
Growth Rate:
Sets the pace at which plants grow, influencing cycle duration from seed to harvest.
Resilience:
Determines resistance to pests and diseases, impacting survival and yield.
Cannabinoid Profile:
Dictates levels of THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids, affecting potency and therapeutic benefits.
Aroma and Flavor:
Genetic makeup influences terpene production, defining the plant's scent and taste profiles.
