Cannabis plants are sturdy and can grow in lots of different environments. In all the talk about how cannabis works on humans, it is important to remember to talk about the biology of the plant as well. Cannabis is an extremely interesting plant, botanically-speaking.

Commercially grown weed plants are grown in a highly controlled environment , where everything from the water to the light is highly controlled and optimized for maximum cannabinoid production. Cannabis ruderalis is a cannabis species thought to have originated in Russia. But what makes ruderalis notable is its ability to autoflower.
We know the photoperiod cannabis strains, which are different from autoflower ruderalis strains, and flower quickly in the winter seasons. However, there’s a catch to this variety that most ruderalis strains contain a low level of THC content. The first Ruderalis varieties were not reliable in terms of quality and quantity.
Hybridization, the environment a plant is grown in, when the plant was harvested, and the phenotype ultimately expressed all make an impact as to which cannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids show up in the final product. Figuring out a particular strain’s medical applications is a very difficult if not impossible task.
Autoflowers , genetically contain cannabis ruderalis traits. While you’ll need to ensure an optimal environment indoors, or outdoors for either variety, there’s much more labor that goes towards finessing photoperiod plants. The Basics of Autoflowering vs Photoperiod Genetics.
You have to make your selection from Sativa , ruderalis, Indica, and hybrid. You can use a paper towel in a dark environment. APD or Absolute Photo Determinate plants hormone does better in a sensitive environment. Making early decisions will save you some losses and cut costs for your weed gardening.
I literally teach them about plants and soil science and roots and photosynthesis, and I teach them how to apply some of the basic general concepts of biology and the environment to cannabis. And the process, there’s kind of this – I mean, I’ve seen people literally crying in class just explaining ruderalis.
It’s also fun to experiment with growing different types of strains and seeing what works best for your environment and how you like to consume marijuana. This is partly because they have some genes from the third type of cannabis, cannabis ruderalis.
