Growing hemp

A fast-growing plant, hemp is excellent for making rope. Hemp grows rapidly, producing up to 75 tonnes of dry matter per hectare per year. It thrives in poor soil, needs no fertilizer or pesticides to succeed, and eats up atmospheric CO2, inhibiting the greenhouse effect. It produces more fibre per kilogram than cotton or flax, and these fibres are easily extracted to make hemp twine, twine or cord.

What are cannabinoids?

Cannabinoids are compounds or synthetic compounds found in the cannabis plant that can interact with the endocannabinoid system. The most important cannabinoid is the phytocannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol, which is the primary toxic compound in cannabis. Cannabidiol is the other main constituent of some cannabis plants.

How are cannabinoids made?

Cannabinoid production begins when an enzyme causes geranyl pyrophosphate and olivetolic acid to combine to form CBGA. CBGA is then independently converted into CBG, THCA, CBDA or CBCA by four separate synthase enzymes, FAD-dependent dehydrogenase.

How hemp works in the body?

CBD (or cannabidiol) interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the endocannabinoid system, which are distributed throughout the body. Cannabidiol also interacts with a number of other receptors, including those that activate the immune response and enable the sensation of pain.

Autoflower plant breeding: Cannabis ruderalis

Due to its ability to autoflower, ruderalis can be used to breed new cannabis strains. Although not desirable on its own for recreational or medicinal purposes, when crossed with high quality indica/sativa/hybrid strains, ruderalis can endow the resulting strain with the autoflowering property.
