Californian Cannabis is hot and happening. But is it all hype, or is it really that good?

Marijuana (or cannabis, weed, pot) comes in many different forms and also has many different names. For people who don't know much about it, it seems like they are different types of drugs.

You've probably heard the terms Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid before. But do you know what they mean? Marijuana is divided into two types: Sativa and Indica. In addition to these two types of cannabis, you can also have "mixes" and these strains are called hybrids.
Which strain do you prefer... Sativa, Indica or a Hybrid?

Just like all the fine things in life: wine, cigars, and diamonds: cannabis can also be measured in terms of quality. The sight, touch, taste, size, aroma, and sensation of a marijuana bud is all determined by the cleanliness of the air in which the plant grew, the composition of the soil, and the temperature shifts that it endured.

Growing marijuana in the extreme cold of winter can be very difficult as the plant struggles through the season. 

You need a few growing hacks to help you through those times of the year when the temperature isn’t favorable for cannabis cultivation.

But, it is still possible to grow cannabis during this time of the year. All you have to do is understand the growing tips to keep your plant healthy if you are ready.

Simply put, yes. Weed gets old. When you have weed that is laying around, it ages like anything else. It can lose its potency, flavor, and aroma. But wait, there's something you can do about it.

Let's face it; growing your own marijuana plants is like having a private party. This is because if you would like to enjoy your best strain, you will only need to head to your garden and harvest.

We have all heard it before: Someone refers to Indica as In-da-couch. What does it mean? It is referring to couch lock. But what is couch-lock? What causes it? How do you fight against it? Do you want to fight against it? For the answers to these questions and others, read on:

Lollipopping is an analytical technique that involves pruning cannabis plants, and preferably those planted indoors to come up with better yields. Under most circumstances, this pruning method gets carried out to eliminate the marijuana plant parts that receive the least amount of light. 

Kief, often referred to as cannabis crystals, consists of weed trichomes separated from cannabis flowers using a fine mesh sieve. 

There are different categories of cannabis, of which cannabis ruderalis is one. Compared to the other categories, cannabis Ruderalis has always remained a kind of subordinate species. That is actually undeserved. Most cannabis ruderalis varieties have very powerful genes and in particular the autoflowering varieties are very strong. 

As weed usage continues to gain approval by many states and federal agencies in the US, there is a reason for users to beware of the taking weed from public places. This is important, especially now that the highly contagious Coronavirus is spreading fast, with many nations warning its citizens to take precautionary measures.
