If you’ve spent any time around cannabis—whether you’re shopping at a dispensary, browsing an online hemp store, or just talking with people who really know their weed—you’ve probably heard the word “trim.” Sometimes it’s mentioned like it’s a bargain product. Other times it’s treated like the “leftovers” of the cannabis world. And in a lot […]
If you’ve ever looked at a cannabis lab label and seen percentages for THC, CBD, and terpenes, you were looking at something that defines a plant’s chemotype. While strain names, colors, and aromas often get the spotlight, chemotype is what truly determines how cannabis will affect the body and mind. In simple terms, chemotype refers […]
If you’ve spent any time around growers, breeders, or serious cannabis enthusiasts, you’ve probably heard someone say, “That’s a different phenotype,” or “I found a keeper pheno.” The word gets thrown around a lot — sometimes correctly, sometimes not. But what does phenotype actually mean in cannabis, and why does it matter so much? Understanding […]
When people talk about cannabis, the conversation usually revolves around strain names, THC percentages, flavor profiles, or whether something is indica or sativa. But beneath all of that — beneath the aroma, potency, structure, and even the effects — lies something deeper and more fundamental: Genotype. Genotype is the genetic foundation of every cannabis plant. […]
If you’ve ever shopped for cannabis—whether online, at a dispensary, or through a friend—you’ve probably heard someone casually say, “I grabbed an ounce.” For experienced consumers, that phrase is as normal as saying you bought a gallon of milk. But for newer users, it can be confusing. How much is an ounce? Is it a […]
If you’ve spent any time shopping for cannabis—whether at a dispensary, online hemp retailer, or even just talking with experienced smokers—you’ve probably heard someone say, “I grabbed a half.” It sounds casual, but it’s actually one of the most important cannabis measurements to understand. A half-ounce sits right in the sweet spot of cannabis buying: […]
If there’s one cannabis measurement that almost everyone hears early on, it’s the eighth. Even people who aren’t regular consumers know the term. Someone will say, “I just bought an eighth,” and it’s treated like the standard purchase size. And honestly? That’s because it is. An eighth is one of the most common cannabis weights […]
If you’ve ever heard someone in the cannabis world say, “That’s a pound,” you probably already know it’s a lot. A pound is one of the biggest common cannabis measurements, and it’s usually mentioned in the context of bulk buying, wholesale pricing, large-scale growers, or dispensary supply—not casual personal use. Still, it’s a term that […]
In cannabis cultivation, growing healthy, productive plants doesn’t start with harvest—it starts with propagation. Weed propagation is the process of creating new cannabis plants, whether from seeds or cuttings, and it lays the foundation for everything that follows. From plant health and growth structure to yield potential and cannabinoid expression, successful propagation sets the tone […]
Growing cannabis successfully often means finding ways to preserve your best plants, maximize efficiency, and maintain consistency from one harvest to the next. While seeds are a common starting point, many growers—both beginners and professionals—rely on a different method to replicate their favorite genetics: cloning. At the center of this process is an essential piece […]
