Cannabis Cultivation
This article presents common techniques and facts regarding the cultivation of cannabis, primarily for the production and consumption of its infructescences ("buds" or "flowers"). Cultivation techniques for other purposes (such as hemp production) differ. Botany Cannabis belongs to the genus ''Cannabis'' in the family Cannabaceae. It may include three species, ''Cannabis indica'', '' C. sativa'', and '' C. ruderalis'' ( APG II system), or one variable species. It is typically a dioecious (each individual is either male or female) annual plant. ''C. sativa'' and ''C. indica'' generally grow tall, with some varieties reaching 4 metres, or 13 feet. Female plants produce tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (up to 31% by weight) as the season changes from summer to autumn. ''C. ruderalis'' is very short, produces only trace amounts of THC, but is very rich in cannabidiol (CBD) an antagonist to THC, which may be 40% of the cannabinoids in a plant. C. ruderalis flowers independentl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sinsemilla
Cannabis sinsemilla () also known as sensimilla, sinse or sensi (can be translated into English as seedless cannabis) is the female ''Cannabis'' plant that has not been fertilized and therefore does not develop seeds, increasing the density of cannabinoids and terpenes. This cultivation technique emerged in Michoacán, Mexico, in the 1970s and consists of separating male plants as soon as they are known to be male, in order to avoid pollination of female pistils. The seeds are not useful for recreational purposes, and require the plant to make a great expenditure of energy that could be invested in increasing the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) of the inflorescences (''buds''). The technique became popular in the United States as ''sinsemilla'', ''sinsemilia'', ''sinse'', or ''sense''. In 1980, an American study indicated that the average THC of street marijuana was 1.8%, while ''sinsemilla'' reached 6%. Sinsemilla cannabis is a cultivation technique, so it should not be confused with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pen Name
A pen name, also called a ''nom de plume'' or a literary double, is a pseudonym (or, in some cases, a variant form of a real name) adopted by an author and printed on the title page or by-line of their works in place of their real name. A pen name may be used to make the author's name more distinctive, to disguise the author's gender, to distance the author from their other works, to protect the author from retribution for their writings, to merge multiple persons into a single identifiable author, or for any of a number of reasons related to the marketing or aesthetic presentation of the work. The author's real identity may be known only to the publisher or may become common knowledge. Etymology The French-language phrase is occasionally still seen as a synonym for the English term "pen name", which is a "back-translation" and originated in England rather than France. H. W. Fowler and F. G. Fowler, in '' The King's English'' state that the term ''nom de plume'' evol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
