You want the best type of plant for your personal condition and you want to achieve the optimum growing conditions for your specific strain of marijuana.
Marijuana and Cannabis as Healing Medicines
Across North America and around the world, attitudes and legislation about marijuana and about cannabis as effective medicines are changing. Justice departments and health professionals are in the process of reviewing clinical studies and revising legislation to better serve the health needs of North American people: in some jurisdictions, the preparation of marijuana into medical cannabis is the legislative concern, and in other areas, governments have made access to medical marijuana legal and more accessible. Cannabis and medical marijuana are already legal across Canada, but not always easily accessible - partly due to a reluctance on the part of physicians and nurses to support medical cannabis referrals. In the United States, control of marijuana and medical cannabis is regulated by the state. Studies have proven that when grown, prepared, and used appropriately medical cannabis is a very effective medical therapy for relief from a wide variety of debilitating conditions including seizure disorders, panic disorders, PTSD, pain control and more.
Male Versus Female Plants
Marijuana plants are sexual plants, meaning there are male plants and there are female plants. In their naturally growing state, they reproduce sexually and produce seeds. Marijuana plants grown for medicinal cannabis are either cloned or started from seeds. To clone a plant means to take a cutting, or a slip from the original stem of a healthy adult plant and rooting it to grow a second healthy adult plant. When medical marijuana growers clone plants, they clone almost exclusively females because female marijuana plants produce the compounds used for human therapeutic use. By contrast, the male plant is the pollen producer. The female plant produces the medicinal bud, and if pollinated, the female marijuana plant produces the seed. Experienced growers have proven that the gender of the plant produced by a marijuana seed can be affected by controlling planting and growing conditions. There are several methods to increase the probability that your marijuana seeds will be 'feminized' and produce a higher percentage of medical cannabis female plants:
- Monitor and control soil nutrients to keep high nitrogen and low potassium levels
- Keep plants at a high relative humidity (60-70 percent)
- Expose plants to a high frequency light (blue or purple)
- Limit plant exposure to the sun to no more than 14 hours of light per day
- Keep plants at a lower temperature (62-65 degrees Fahrenheit)
Traditional Cannabis Growing Systems
Traditional cannabis growing systems for both indoor and outdoor growing require some working knowledge of the following concepts: temperature control, light control and soil nutrition. Other broad agricultural concepts are also important including pest control, mildew control and outdoor growing conditions including season, weather and planting zone specifics. Monitoring and optimizing soil nutrition is a key component of all marijuana growing systems. Healthy soil means healthy plants, and healthy plants produce the cannabis for a healthier you. Growing marijuana to produce medicinal cannabis really requires learning about your own health condition and what strain or variety of marijuana is going to provide the medical cannabis that is appropriate for providing therapeutic relief for your specific condition. Honest dialogue with your medical professional or knowledgeable local budtender is essential to ensuring that you find the strain of marijuana that actually provides optimal relief for your specific medical condition.
