Flushing roots at the end of flowering
Among the tasks that we perform in a cannabis grow, the flushing of the roots at the end of flowering is vital to a tasty harvest of buds.

To avoid this, root flushing should be carried out.

Soil microbes and cannabis cultivation
The beneficial microbial life in the soil, mainly fungi and bacteria, has a direct impact on the proper development of a cannabis crop.

Pure or landrace cannabis seeds
Pure varieties or landrace are the origin of modern cannabis hybrids. After centuries of adaptation to the areas of which they are native, from the 70’s they were crossed among themselves, resulting in the first generation of hybrids, a series of genetics that would eventually lay the foundations for the modern breeding of cannabis. In this article we focus on the genetic treasure that these pure varieties represent.
