Pe193 The Fears of Cannabis Monocropping

(Part 2) Joseph Ramahi, PhD, a tissue culture specialist, discovered the difficulty of identifying Hop Latent Viroid (HpLVd) in cannabis and hemp plants, as it displayed both symptomatic and asymptomatic characteristics.

Pe191 Could Sativa & Indica Actually Equal Effects?

Arno Hazekamp, PhD (Part 2) discusses data correlations he discovered that might actually show Sativa & Indica do have specific types of terpenes, and therefore specific effects. Arno explains how terpenes and terpenoids are not the same thing, and how alcoholic terpenes (terpenoids) might be associated with Indica strains by influencing, or being a byproduct of, the growth properties of the cannabis plant.
