About Cannabis Concentrates 

There’s a ton of different cannabis concentrates to try, and nearly a ton of ways to consume them. 

So what are the best choices for you to look at? We’ll go over a few o them, and also just what they are at the bottom of it all. 

What are cannabis concentrates? 

They are basically cannabis-derived products where the plant material is discarded, resulting in potency that’s high, and is basically medicinally useful. The most common types for extraction are both THC and CBD, with THC giving a more “euphoric” kind of high, and THC also offering a lot of other benefits, with CBD offering similar effects, mostly being anti-inflammatory and anti-epileptic, all without the psychoactive high that’s created through THC. 

There are also terpenes as well that show up in this, which are basically what give the flavors and aromas of some plants, including fruits as well. 

Why cannabis concentrates 

Some people like this because it’s far more potent, and simply because it’s convenient and distinct. This does offer a very intense experience. They also take up far less space than THC flower, and it doesn’t have the pungent smell that cannabis flower does. It can be vaped, with a dab pen, or even eaten or have it on top of the flower for the best consumption. 

Types of Concentrates 

There are different kind of concentrates which we’ll go over now. 

First is kief, which isn’t chemical in process, and basically the friction and vibration do separate the trichome from the rest of the plant matter that’s less potent. This results in green, sticky “pollen” that’s vaped and smoked. 

Then there is hash, which is basically compressed kief into a form that’s semi-solid, creating hash or what is called hashish. 

There is also butane hash oil, which is basically concentrated oil with the terpenes and cannabinoids put in there. Butane is basically taken through your cannabis flower, taking the trichomes as well with this. Once completed, it’s then heated to take out the butane. This does come with different consistencies, and it’s popular to consume via dabbing. 

Then there is distillate oil, which is cannabis that doesn’t have solvents in it, and is created with this process. Once this cannabinoids and terpenes are pulled via the solvent, the extract is then heated to the lowest boiling point for this, with the vapor then being funneled, recondensed to a pure form of liquid, with the residuals left behind. This can be done repeatedly until it takes out all of the flavors, terpenes, and basically is just pure CBD and THC. This is then combined with terpenes and oils in cartridges, or it can be used with edibles, without requiring a flower to be a part of this. 

Shatter is another one that has an opaque amber color where it’s shattered and used for dabbing. 

Wax is basically all forms of cannabis concentrates and is another name for it. 

Live resin is flash frozen cannabis plant material, where it’s frozen immediately upon harvesting, so the terpenes and cannabinoids are basically the same as in the plant. 

Then there is crumble that looks like honeycomb, created by melting shatter, with the extract being whipped to crate air pockets, and the put in an oven vacuum to properly stabilize, so it will crumble when it’s touched as well. 

Rick Simpson oil is basically oil with a ton of potency to this, with the concentrate being full-extraction cannabis oil since it does have all of the lipids, fats, and the chlorophyll that are there, and you should never inhale this one.

All About Cannabutter 

If you’re someone who wants to try cooking with cannabis products, one way to do so is with cannabutter. This s one of the best ways to create a smoke-free alternative that is long-lasting and also is one of the best ways to medicate. 

For those curious about this, you’re not alone. Learn how you can make edibles right now, even if you’re a beginner. 

How to Do So 

Creating cannabutter is definitely an experience, and for those interested in cooking with cannabis, preparation is the first step. 

The psychoactive elements of cannabis do need fat to dissolve correctly, so you need to incorporate it in oils, butter, and milk. Don’t use water since it can’t dissolve. 

When you get it from the dispensary, you want to make sure that you know what you’re using too, since there are different terpenes that are in this, and that affects not just how the weed reacts, but also the tastes, and even how they interact with other substances too. 

Cannabis doesn’t just have THC and CBD, but other elements too. The best thing to do is to make sure that you have the right THC content for what you’re getting.  You want to calculate how much THC is in the flower, and then multiply it by .877, which is the total amount of THC in a gram of it.  This will help you figure out the full amount of THC in a batch of this, and also the dosage within each edible, when you take the total THC divided by the number of edibles created. 

The dosage 

Inexperienced users will not have as much tolerance to this, so you should try to keep it at around 2 mg of this for the first dosage. Longer users may possibly want more than 10 mg, but of course, you want to make sure that you have the right dosage depending on your goals. Your bodyweight and size are a major factor in this, as it will take a lot more THC to get a taller or larger person high. You should also look at the strain too to see whether or not it’s more powerful when it’s smoked, or when eaten. 

Decarb the Cannabis 

You want to make sure that when you cook with cannabis you always decarb it first. This is because it’s the only way to get cannabis to well, do what it needs to do. 

Decarbing is basically removing the carboxyl from this, and this releases the carbon dioxide, which basically makes the THC and CBD work.  The way to do this is to preheat your oven, grind the flower so that it’s small enough that it works, and then spread this, and bake it for up to 90 minutes in most cases. Youwnat to make sure that you do slowly heat up the flower before you do it, and not too high at once. 

60 minutes are good if you want higher THC, with 90 minutes being what offers more CBD to this. You do have to do this because it is the only way to get the chemicals out. 

Afterwards, you basically melt a cup of butter, a cup of oil, adding the ground cannabis, and then let it sit on low heat for abut three hours. You then want to strain it with a cheesecloth or a colander in some cases. That way, it gets the chunks out. 

Then you can cook with this. Cannabutter is simple to make, but if you’re not used to working with it, it can be a bit complex for those just starting out. 

The benefits of Terpenes 

One of the coolest, newest items that people love, are terpenes. This is something that a lot of people don’t even realize play a huge role in the effectiveness of cannabis. 

With more and more looking for different cannabis strains, the smells play a major part of this. Musky, distinct smells and compounds are definitely something that offers a super unique color, flavor, and smell to this. Marijuana as well also comes with terpenes which occur naturally, and while it’s in smaller amounts and levels, it’s something that’s prominent, and something that provides a scent that’s signature, and unlike anything else. 

What are they? 

Terpenes are basically formed from the trichomes located in the cannabis plant, specifically the female plants. They are part of the pigmentation and color of the buds and leaves, and also are a part of the flavor. They are something that helps a lot of cannabis patients enjoy it, since they’re strong, and they offer a lot of amazing medicinal properties. 

Benefits of Terpenes 

The cool thing about terpenes, is that they were being used long before cannabis was so popular. Aromatherapy has used this for a long time. linalool in lavender for example helps to relax the body, and the effect that comes with this markedly changes the mood. The effects though are so much more than that, and they’re a major healing part in the treatment of cannabis. While CBD and THC are both very powerful healing components, the terpenes play a major role in the therapeutic benefits. 

Pain relief is one of them. there’s been research for a long time that cannabinoids help with this, and they’re effective against pain. humulene, linalool, beta-pinene and others are really good for pain relief. It activates the receptors, with beta caryophyllene for example binding directly to your CB2 receptors, helping to mask pain and offer relief too. 

It also kills inflammation. Myrcene for example, a terpene that has a fruity, signature smell to this, offers anti-inflammatory along with analgesic kinds of effects from this. Some studies have found that it’s a very effective treatment for osteoarthritis, and it also breaks down your cartilage, helping you to lower the progression and reduce the pain of osteoarthritis. It also reduces the inflammatory cells within, making it better, and easier than ever before. 

It’s also anti-cancerous, so it’s something that can possibly help with tumor growth. Camphor, terpinene, pinene, and beta-myrcene are some of the most popular, with limonene being one of the best. 

It also can help with depression. There are antidepressive compounds located in this, and even linalool, is found in a variety of medications to help with the treatment of depression. 

It can help with stopping microbes too. Eucalyptol and terpinolene are really good at killing microbes. This is good with stopping the progression of these microorganisms that are in place. 

Finally, terpenes can help with anxiety as well. Caryophyllene which is found in basil, black pepper, cloves, and even oregano, offers a spicy texture to this, and it can actually target the CB2 receptor directly to help with relaxation in a lot of ways/. 

Limonene is another one too, since this offers a nice, lemony scent, but it also not only lowers the stress, but also increases focus too, and helps with treating anxiety and depression in a lot of ways. Medical cannabis benefits from this in a ton of ways, since a lot of people love the effects. But terpenes are a major player in cannabis, and for those looking to get the most out of their cannabis, use these. 

What the Medical Marijuana Research Act Entails 

The cannabis world has seen some serious growth in the recent decade. However, due to the swift changes, the industry is still hindered by the ban on cannabis. Researchers that undergo the studies usually need to go through a process to get the testing needed for the experiments. However, that’s about to change. The medical marijuana research act actually helped with the role of removing the federal ban on cannabis. This is something that will help researchers distribute and produce cannabis for the research reasons needed. 

The Act Itself 

The bill actually filed by bot a democrat and a republican, Andy Harris of Maryland and Earl Blumenauer of Oregon. This promotes the studies of cannabis, and also helps make sure that the applications are used properly. This is done because it’ll help states that have benefitted from cannabis research realize their true potential, and also will help them progress to offer the best research to bring cannabis to the local markets. 

This is also a critical part of federal legalization. Earl continued to say that congress is behind the users of cannabis, and they’re doing everything to make the industry more seamless for everyone. The problem with current cannabis studies is due to the DEA impeding this. Right now, the current act does also send some questions to Biden as well, who also did promise decriminalization of this. 

The advocates of this include those such as Saphira Galoob who is the director of the National Cannabis roundtable, and they view this bill as a win not just for cannabis consumers, but for those studies which need to be pushed forward in research. There were even some republicans who were in support of this, since it is something that’ll help with the information vacuum of this.  The lawmakers have tried to convince the DEA to continue the research on cannabis for that purpose. 

How it’ll impact the industry 

To begin, this is really good for those who are studying it because it lets them grow and distribute cannabis to research it. This is good for those researchers that struggle with trying to acquire it. It also expeditated a lot of the current studies that are out there, and it’ll encourage more studies too, which will benefit everyone overall. 

It’ll help prove that cannabis is safe for people to have, and may also push the road towards legalization, making it much more possible, and setting the stage for this. It also is good for researchers who struggle with getting the licenses. These take a long time to get approved, and the approval of this along with the more availability of cannabis will make it easier for you to undergo the studies that are there. For a lot of peopled, this means that there is a chance to bring cannabis to full legality, on all sorts of levels. In a lot of places, they may not be able to get legalization due to the republican presence and the anti-weed sentiment in a lot of areas. 

But we could see this as something that’s really good for the industry, and a lot of advocates are some that will help with a lot of the problems at hand. Luckily, we can see that the future of the industry itself is in the rightful hands of many people. With the growth of cannabis becoming a true reality, we can see just what this has to offer for a lot of us. In a lot of cases, this new and unprecedented act will spell a lot of great things for all of us and will indeed help with the push for legalization. 

Let’s Talk About Psychedelic Cannabis 

Nowadays, there always seems to be new talk of some strain of cannabis that you just have to try. Honestly, it all makes sense when you think about it. Now that now marijuana is becoming legal across the country, at least, from a medical standpoint, cultivators are becoming more diligent about producing new strains and products to keep people coming back for more. Have you gotten bored of your regular cannabis strains as of late? Have you been looking for a way to spice things up? Well if you are, I have what could potentially blow your mind completely. Today we are going to be talking about psychedelic cannabis (see what I did there?).

Now, it is important to keep in mind that these strains of marijuana not like the psychedelic experiences you would normally associate with weed. Sure, being really high can cause us to experience euphoria and tranquility, but these strains are more heavy hitting than what you may be used to. Because of that, psychedelic strains are not top sellers everywhere. Some people just want to smoke some regular weed, and that is totally okay. However, if you are wanting to try something new and experience drug usage closer to that of shrooms or another psychedelic plant, then you may want to give some of these strains some thought. Before you go out to the dispensary and buy some, make sure you read the rest of what I have to say so that you are properly prepared for what you might encounter. 

So what exactly makes certain cannabis strains much more potent with psychedelics? Well, it all depends on what kind of cannabis you use. Not a lot of people are familiar with psychedelic cannabis, since they normally associate marijuana usage with more feelings of relaxation and euphoria. Don’t get me wrong – I love using more normal weed strains just like everybody else. However, there is something special about using a psychedelic weed strain that allows for some fun and interesting moments. I have always been afraid to try mushrooms in the event that I have a bad trip or something like that, and I know a lot of people out there that share my same fear. Psychedelic marijuana strains allow me to experience part of that effect without committing to a 6 hour trip on shrooms, and that is something to be appreciative of. Before you go out and try these psychedelic strains for yourself, I wanted to quickly tell you about some of the effects that it can have on medical and recreational users alike. 

One of the most common reactions that people have to psychedelic cannabis strains is a shift in the time space continuum. No, I am not talking about a reference to Back to the Future. I simply mean that, while using these strains, you might find yourself outside of our normal perspective of time. An hour could go by and it would feel like 2 minutes – or vice versa. Last time I was on a psychedelic cannabis high, I remember going upstairs in the middle of a movie to use the bathroom really quickly.

When I came down, my friends had told me I was up there for like 15 minutes and they wondered what I was doing. I have no idea how I was up there for so long, but I do know that I owe it to the marijuana I was smoking. Events like this are not out of the norm when it comes to using psychedelic strains, and I hope that you can have as much fun with it as I did.

How to Save Money at Your Dispensary

Let’s be honest – buying weed is one of the best uses of your money. Sure, it can be expensive, but what else lets you enjoy yourself as much as marijuana? However, having enough money to buy marijuana every month can be a bit of a problem. Whether you are using recreational marijuana for fun, or you rely on medical marijuana to treat certain health conditions, it can be hard to afford buying cannabis from week to week. For many people that consume large amounts of marijuana over the course of a month, growing their own plants from home makes the most sense. Medical marijuana users arguably have it the worst.

Unlike when using other medications like synthetic opioids or other prescription drugs, the costs of medical marijuana are not normally covered by health insurance. And I don’t just mean the cost of actually buying weed – medical marijuana users have to shell out their own cash for doctors appointments, renewal fees, and much more. Now that cannabis is becoming more and more accessible in the United States, one would assume that it is becoming more affordable as well. Unfortunately that is just not the case. In some states, marijuana prices continue to climb due to the limited number of dispensary licenses available for businesses to use.

Not to mention, affording the license for selling marijuana is also a hefty cost. So how much money does the average person in the United States spend on weed? Well, a recent poll reports that almost half of all consumers visiting a dispensary spend between $500 and $2500 on weed per year. Honestly, this seems a bit low to me. MAybe I have just been interacting with potheads, but I feel like dropping $250 a month on weed alone is relatively normal for stoners. 

Either way, it is important to save as much money as you can when you are buying weed. That, after all, is why you are here. Whether you are a recreational user or a medical user, it is important to try to pinch every penny out of your weed buying habits in order to save your money in the long run. One of the most important parts of saving money at your dispensary is waiting for sales and deals to come along. If you have looked at any dispensary website recently, you will probably have noticed various sales and deals going on – they are pretty much going on all the time.

If you can look for weekly or monthly specials on specific products, you may find yourself saving a ton of money over the course of a month or so. In the event that dispensaries order too much of one strain, or have a product that is close to expiring, you may find random products on the shelves that are marked down well over the MSRP. Also, you may be entitled to certain discounts that dispensaries have going on all the time – healthcare workers, veterans, senior discounts, and more! It is at least worth looking into, especially if you are having trouble affording your cannabis every week. 

The next thing that you can do to save money at the dispensary is to buy in bulk when there is a sale going on. Most medical marijuana card users will have a limit of what they can buy per month, generally capped at about 2-3 ounces per month of whole flower weed. If a dispensary ordered too much of a certain strain, or they are maybe dropping a certain strain, you could find massive blowout sales with heavily discounted prices. 

The New FDA Guidelines for CBD medications

The FDA recently put out a new draft for CBD medications speeding up the approval to use generic CBD medications for this. This can change the way that CBD is used medicinally, potentially paving the path for cannabis usage and growth to treat various medical conditions.

The new qualifications

This is something that determines the medication and then equivalent within the marketplace. This is now allowing CBD users and companies  to get a waiver from the FDA, provided they meet the requirements for this as well.

The qualifications are as follows:

  • The generic types of the CBD solutions need to have the same type of concentration and the dosage of the product that’s considered the reference listed drug.
  • It also should not have any major formula changes or different active ingredients that change the bioavailability of the product.
  • The CBD medications need less than .1% THC in them 
  • They also must have the botanical raw material listed from the species, and also be able to look at the correct type of species and how it’s identified
  • Due to the variety of different cultivars that are out there, they now need to properly authenticate each cultivator, and that’ll be used as the BRM basis that’s out there.
  • They need to follow then proper guidelines of the Good Agricultural and Collection Practices, ensuring that there are very little variations to this, offering some consistency from one specific batch of drugs to the next.
  • This is something that’s been put out, so that the people can get these generic varieties of drugs faster than waiting for it to be approved.

New Means to Study CBD

Probably the biggest thing about this isn’t the new requirements but instead the new approval from the FDA to study CBD in order to find out more about the cannabinoid, and also how it can help others. People.

They would look at the different concentrations, and also what was on the label that was listed.

This actually solicited new companies in order to help study the CBD that’s there, and some of the other cannabinoids that are there. They would collect and look at some of the samples, to find out the quality and also some of the other types of health products that come with this.

This includes all manner of CBD product such as oil, tinctures, baked goods, and even candy and water for those to better understand this  They would look at the samples that are provided there, and they would look to make sure that the CBD within all of this is fresh enough. They work to ensure that the bacteria, such as salmonella and the like aren’t’ there, and they get the proper analysis that’s there.

This goal is to properly address the guidelines in order to help with better understanding of CBD, and also of the different other products that come around with this. 

This is something that’s still being looked at today, and there are tons of people who are looking to get the full benefit of CBD and the other products that are there.

What does this mean for the future of this cannabinoid a lot actually. A ton of people can now use CBD for a variety of applications, and it’s less that it’s a bad product, but instead, one that definitely offers newfound potential for those who need it.

We hope that with those FDA requirements and some of the other new additions we not only see the beginning of a new and fun means to get CBD for different uses, but also a possible road for proper cannabis usage, and educating others on THC products too. 

Strains for GERD 

GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux affects around 20% of people in the US, causing chest pain, issues with swallowing, and vomiting. It’s important to make sure that you try to get treatment for this, but some people have found that cannabis is a great way to treat GERD symptoms in ways that are beneficial to you. 

Using Cannabis for GERD 

This is used in a lot of cases to help with the munchies, but suppression of your appetite is a symptom of GERD, since a lot of people eat a lot less since they don’t want to digest and swallow. 

This can boost your appetite, helping you eat despite the discomfort. It also can be used to help with soothing a lot of pain.  for those who have chemotherapy, nausea, and the like, THC can help with reducing this, and the CBD in the cannabis plant can help with anxiety, reducing the distress that you feel and helping you unwind as well. 

You may want to use it topically to the areas you feel discomfort, or take it as a tincture after you have a meal to help with the acid in your stomach being produced. Some also like to smoke afterwards to help with reducing the feelings of nausea, along with cramping as well. 

The best strains 

Below are some of the best strains for those who have GERD, since this is good and may offer some effective symptoms.  Again, not all of these may be ideal for you. 

Thin mints, which is similar to peppermint oil is a strain that combines girl scout cookies with Durban poison, and it tastes like a mint after you have dinner. It naturally soothes your stomach, making digestion possible. 

Ringo’s Gift is another one, which is great for pain relief, especially in your esophagus, since swallowing is one of the common issues people with GERD have, so this can offer some relief from the pain in many people. 

Pure Kush is another one, since this is another good one because it offers pain relief. It’s indica, so it will leave you couch locked, so it’s best to consume this one at night. 

Grandaddy purple has a large amount of THC, and is good for those who are experienced with this strain. If you’re new to using cannabis and aren’t used to the potency of this, take this ne slow, since this is good for relaxing and sleeping and also helping to reduce GERD symptoms that are aggravated 

Blue Hawaiian is a great one to help with mellowing you out, melting away stress when you feel worried about this.  It is good for daytime use due to the high levels of sativa, to help you feel revived, uplifted, and happy as well. 

OG Kush is another one, since this is one that’s great for the anti-nausea results that are there. If you feel liked your stomach is going to turn upside down, or are struggling to hold back vomit, this is a good one for stomach settling.  It also is one that is very high in THC, so do be mindful of when you use it, and if you have to use it during the day after a vomiting episode, use the strain sparingly. 

Finally, we have holy grail Kush, which is another one that’s good for a lot of conditions. It’s an award-winning strain mixture of OG#18 and kosher Kush, two also highly acclaimed strains. This is another good one for nausea and pain in your abdomen, also helping to naturally stimulate the appetite so you feel better in no time! 

The Best Strains for Irritability 

Sometimes you just feel annoyed. There are certain instances where you get into large anger outbursts that don’t have a cause, and it’s not something enjoyable. If you have anger problems, cannabis can help. Anything with limonene, myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, pinene, and CBD, along with some THC is great for improving your mood and making it far less likely to be irritable by all of this too. 

Cannabis and irritability 

Those who have irritability tend to get angry over the slightest things. An example of this is road rage, where people get super mad if they’re cut off, or if people are slow. Some may also suffer from irritability and outbursts through a variety of other mood disorders and conditions, including the following:

  • anxiety 
  • Stress 
  • ADHD 
  • Bipolar 
  • Depression 

It can ruin your day, but medical cannabis is great for reducing anxiety, depression, promoting calmness, and increasing focus. You need to be mindful of the dosage however, as too much can cause fear and paranoia, which may offset the effects 

The best strains 

There are plenty of great strains for helping those who are just super irritable. It’s not always easy to work with, but these strains can do the trick if you tend to be a bit moody. Blue Haze is one that comes with around 20% THC or less, and it comes with earthy and berry flavors. It offers happiness feelings pinene within it, offering a euphoric response along with myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, and other very popular terpenes that help to calm down. 

Strawberry ice is one that smells and tastes like strawberries. It’s got a lot of myrcene, which is great for relieving pain, relaxing the body, and also helping to fall asleep. It also contains pulegone, which is great for anxiety motivation. It is one that’s good for motivation, especially happier kinds. 

Cantaloupe haze is another popular haze strains, and it is a good sativa that offers a euphoria that’s energizing. It’s got a melon taste to it due to the higher levels of myrcene in it, and it also comes with alpha pinene, along with beta-pinene, in order to offer much relief from the anxiety. 

It has moderate amounts of THC, along with CBG, coming in at around 2-3% of that, and is something that is great for stimulating results. Dream berry is another one that’s great for relaxing, and that’s due to the limonene within it, and it smells like both citrus, and blueberries, and is great for someone to manage both depression, and stress. 

Then there is white Queen, who is a white widow type of strain, and is great for relieving stress. This is a bit stronger since it is a medical strain, but if you’re dealing with anger management, it works well. Both pinene and myrcene are dominant within this. 

Lemon pie is one that offers a high that’s energetic and focused due to the higher amounts of pinene and limonene, and it helps you motivate the body to get tasks done and also helps you feel better with the aromas within. 

Finally, you’ve got champagne Kush, which is balancing of both stimulating and relaxing, and it offers a sense of calmness that most other strains try to go for. It’s much milder and less potent, so if you struggle with THC tolerance, this is a good one, and it offers both myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, and other terpenes that really help with the body. 

When you’re improving your health and wellness, you can do so with these amazing strains, and they can provide some great results and benefits from this as well. 

Weed Plant Identification 

With more and more states legalizing cannabis, you may wonder if there is a way to tell the difference between a weed plant and other plants. You may wonder what you can do with this. Male plants are definitely something you want to keep out, since they can ruin your yield, and it can impact the general state of the cannabis. Once you’ve cultivated it, you can use it as an edible, a flower, or other products. Ideally, you want to make sure that you only have females in your growing medium, since that of course, will prevent problems. 

How to identify male weed plants 

Most male weed plants have stalks that are thicker and studier, and they have less leaves. They also do develop much faster, and they tend to get taller too. It’s important that if you do compare these plants, the stalks and leaf counts do vary from other cannabis breeds. 

You also will see the pre-flowers as well. The male plants have little bulbs or balls on this, and this is the sacs that cause pollen to be released. You’ll want to make sur that they’re removed the moment you find them, since the do grow faster than female plants. Speaking of, they may be up to 10 days earlier, or sometimes three weeks indoors, before the female plant shows what they have. 

You want to identify it in two ways. 

  1. The joints near the stem. The pre-flowers will be there, and if you use white hairs or bulbs, that’s male 
  2. Taller and thicker stalked plants with less leaves and stems which are taller man that the plant is indeed male. 

What about the females 

Right now, female cannabis plants oftentimes have stalks that are thinner, and they usually have a lot more leaves in the top area. They also create pre-flowers that are white, and they’ve got little hairs on that which are translucent. That is what creates the pistils we see in regular plants. 

To identify, look for three things: 

  1. At the stems and joints, you’ll see the pre-flowers, which contain the white hairs, and they do grow with time. 
  2. Look for seed pods, since that may be an indication that you’ve got a hermaphroditic plant 
  3. Bushier leaves and stems. They tend to have more than a male plant does. 

Hermaphrodite plants? 

This is something where you get both, and it happens due to stress from the growing stage. That means, the usually will self-pollenate.  You don’t want this ether. Typically, it’s caused by the following: 

  • Plant damage 
  • Not enough water 
  • Weather being bad 
  • Not enough nutrients 
  • Light issues when flowering 
  • Diseases 

If you notice this, it usually is best if you get it away from female plants. You also will see both pistils and pollen sacs. They should be treated in the same way a male plant is. 

Why separation 

You may wonder why you have to separate this. The simple answer is that it causes pollination. While you may think you want to have more plants, the problem is that you won’t’ be able to make buds, and instead will spend al the time making seeds.  You want seedless cannabis as the ultimate goal, since they have the best cannabinoids, and they definitely are better. 

Plus, if you’re going to consume this, definitely make sure that you’ve only got females, since the males don’t have enough buds. While they do contain THC, it’s far less. Be mindful of this, and make sure to avoid the pollination of these plants.
