UNVEILING THE ANTIOXIDANT AND ANTIBACTERIAL PROPERTIES OF CANNABIS LEAVES

- Traditionally, cannabis leaves have been treated as a by-product of cultivation, often destined for compost heaps while the focus remained almost exclusively on the resinous flowers.
- However, a wave of scientific research is now challenging that perception, revealing that these discarded leaves are, in fact, a treasure trove of bioactive compounds with remarkable potential.
- This shift in perspective compels us to move from a flower-centred valuation toward one that recognises the worth of the entire plant.

Cannabis leaves represent an underutilised resource with extraordinary therapeutic potential. Research studies consistently show that these so-called "waste" materials contain significant concentrations of antioxidant and antibacterial compounds, with the potential to transform industries ranging from medicine to cosmetics.

Re-evaluating cannabis leaves from waste to a valuable bioactive resource requires a genuine paradigm shift within the cannabis industry. Such a transition offers not only economic benefits but also greater environmental sustainability by reducing waste and maximising the use of the whole plant.

ANTIOXIDANT POWER: NATURE'S CELLULAR SHIELD

The human body is in a constant battle against oxidative stress - a form of cellular damage triggered by unstable molecules known as free radicals, which accelerate ageing and contribute to a wide range of diseases. Antioxidants play a crucial role in counteracting this damage by neutralising free radicals, and research indicates that cannabis leaves are an exceptionally rich source of these protective compounds.

Recent studies ( https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12073235/ ) have identified a synergistic array of phytochemicals that underpin the leaves' antioxidant potential. One key study found that the leaves contain a rich concentration of cannabinoids (including CBD, CBG, and THC), flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. Acting together, these bioactive molecules help shield cells from oxidative harm. Their efficacy has been validated through rigorous scientific testing, providing robust confirmation of their protective power.

However, it is important to note that not all leaves exhibit the same potency. Both the plant's genetic profile - and, crucially, the extraction method used - play decisive roles in determining the concentration of active compounds. Studies have shown that advanced techniques - such as ultrasound-assisted extraction - can significantly increase the concentration of beneficial molecules, effectively transforming low-cost plant material into a high-value antioxidant resource.

ANTIBACTERIAL PROPERTIES

The growing crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) underscores the urgent need for new antibacterial agents. In this search, cannabis leaves are emerging as a particularly promising candidate.

Several studies ( https://www.researchgate.net/publication/386546286_Antibiacterial_activity_of_Canabis_sativus_against_isolated_bacterial_strains ) have evaluated the efficacy of cannabis leaf extracts against clinically relevant bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (responsible for staph infections) and Escherichia coli. In one investigation, ethanol-based extracts exhibited strong inhibitory activity against both strains, underscoring their remarkable antibacterial potential.

This activity arises from a complex interplay of bioactive compounds. Major cannabinoids such as Δ9-THC and CBD act as the dominant bioactive agents, supported by phenolic acids and terpenoids. Evidence suggests that their mechanism of action involves direct disruption of bacterial structures, leading to membrane permeabilisation and, ultimately, cell death. This multifaceted cocktail of bioactive compounds poses a substantially greater barrier to bacterial resistance than conventional antibiotics, offering a natural model for the development of next-generation antimicrobial therapies.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTION AND NUTRITIONAL VALUE

Beyond their defensive role, cannabis leaves offer notable benefits, particularly their potent anti-inflammatory properties and rich nutritional value.

Within the diverse family of cannabis flavonoids lies a subclass of compounds almost unique to this plant: cannflavins A and B. Far from being minor contributors, these molecules are genuine anti-inflammatory agents. Their mechanism of action is sophisticated - they simultaneously block two distinct molecular pathways responsible for producing inflammatory mediators. Comparative studies suggest their potency falls between that of aspirin and stronger nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Moreover, the idea of eating raw cannabis leaves is gaining traction, with many now viewing them as a "superfood". Their nutritional profile is remarkably rich, containing proteins, fibre, vitamins A, C and E, along with minerals such as magnesium and calcium. Equally compelling is their concentration of cannabinoids in their acidic, non-psychoactive forms -THCA and CBDA. These precursors of THC and CBD, which only activate when exposed to heat, exhibit unique therapeutic properties. THCA has shown potential as a neuroprotectant, while CBDA could support mood regulation, all without producing any psychoactive effects.

THE DISCOVERY OF FLAVOALKALOIDS: A NEW FRONTIER IN CANNABIS SCIENCE

Just when the scientific community believed it had a solid understanding of cannabis phytochemistry, a groundbreaking discovery has expanded its horizons once again. Researchers at Stellenbosch University (South Africa) have identified a completely new and extremely rare class of compounds in cannabis leaves: flavoalkaloids.

These phenolic compounds are exceptionally rare within the plant kingdom, marking this discovery as a significant botanical milestone. The research team identified a total of 79 phenolic compounds, including 25 reported for the first time in cannabis. Among these, 16 were identified as flavoalkaloids.

This discovery reshapes the prevailing understanding of cannabis "active ingredients", which has long focused almost exclusively on cannabinoids. The identification of flavoalkaloids - a class of compounds known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential - broadens the scope for future research and suggests promising applications in cosmetics and topical formulations.

TOWARDS A WHOLE-PLANT PHILOSOPHY

The scientific evidence is irrefutable. Far from being waste material, cannabis leaves are in fact a biochemical reservoir producing a wealth of compounds with immense potential. From their antioxidant and antibacterial power to the anti-inflammatory strength of their cannflavins and the recent discovery of flavoalkaloids, these leaves demand a thorough re-evaluation.

Current scientific data provide a solid foundation for further investigation into the therapeutic applications of cannabis leaves. However, translating these promising findings into effective products and therapies will require additional research, supported by interdisciplinary collaboration, investment in clinical trials, and the development of robust regulatory frameworks.

Ultimately, the discovery of the remarkable antioxidant and antibacterial properties of cannabis leaves not only validates traditional knowledge of the plant's medicinal value but also signals new directions for 21st-century medicine. It reminds us that nature's greatest treasures are often hidden in plain sight.

GREEN LIGHT FOR PILOT RESEARCH PROJECTS ON THE IMPACT OF CANNABIS IN GERMANY

* The year 2024 has marked a turning point on Germany's path toward cannabis legalisation, setting the stage for regulated models across Europe.

* The legalisation of cannabis for recreational use last April is part of a broader plan that includes evaluating the societal impact of recreational cannabis use.

* In this article, we delve into the current state of Germany's legal framework, the specifics of this model, and its potential impact on public health, the black market, and the economy.

WHERE DOES GERMANY STAND ON CANNABIS LEGALISATION?

While many believe that the legalisation of cannabis for adult use in Germany is a done deal, the truth is that the country is currently implementing "Pillar 1", which decriminalised the consumption and home cultivation of cannabis under certain conditions in April of this year.

However, "Pillar 2" (which would permit the sale of recreational cannabis in specialised stores, among other measures) has yet to be implemented. Many fear it may never see the light of day, as the political environment and early elections in February 2025 have increased uncertainty in the sector.

Therefore, although medical cannabis has been legal in Germany by prescription since 2017, the full legal framework for recreational use remains uncertain.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MODEL PROJECTS IN EVALUATING REGULATED RECREATIONAL USE

Germany's "cannabis model projects" are pilot studies aimed at analysing the effects of the use of recreational cannabis within a controlled legal framework. These studies will gather data on the potential social, economic, and public health effects of legal cannabis access.

The projects are designed to be conducted in collaboration with universities, municipalities, and industry players, and aim to ensure that legalisation progresses safely for users.

GOALS OF THE CANNABIS MODEL PROJECTS IN GERMANY

These studies, which are yet to be carried out, aim to ensure a smooth and socially beneficial transition:

*Evaluating the impact on the black market: A primary goal of legalisation is to redirect consumers toward safe, regulated sources.

*Impact on youth populations: The research will focus on how regulations can prevent minors from accessing recreational cannabis.

*Safe consumption: The focus is on promoting low-risk consumption methods and formats whilst ensuring product safety through different measures (such as contaminant analysis).

GREEN LIGHT TO APPLY FOR MODEL PROJECT LICENSES

Following Germany's removal of cannabis from the list of narcotics this year, a significant milestone was reached on 10th December. The Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) announced the official signing of an ordinance to make it the regulatory authority for model projects in the country.

This includes the issuance of permits, regulation of trade, and the monitoring of results. This is great news for the 27 municipalities and federal states which are eager to launch these pilot programmes. However, the BMEL clarified that this step does not signify a transition to the long-awaited "Pillar 2" of full cannabis regulation in Germany.

With anti-cannabis parties gaining traction in polls ahead of the February elections, there is growing concern that "Pillar 2" could be overturned by a new government. This has increased pressure to approve pilot programme licenses as quickly as possible. Any research project approved by the BLE cannot be halted by a future government. However, no new research projects can be initiated if the decree is repealed in the future.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE RESEARCH MODEL PROJECTS?

From now on, universities, private companies, and municipalities can all apply for licenses to participate in pilot programmes measuring the impact of adult cannabis use. Applicants must submit detailed plans explaining how they will collect and analyse data.
Cities such as Frankfurt and Hanover have already announced their participation, collaborating with universities and industry players. These entities will offer cannabis to pre-selected citizens through licensed establishments while collecting data on consumer behaviour and potential side effects of cannabis use.

The studies will run for five years, allowing the assessment of the long-term effects of recreational cannabis and the adjustment of certain parameters if necessary.

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE

Many may wonder why municipalities, and especially private sector companies, are so interested in conducting these pilot programmes. The reality is that these projects could lay the foundation for broader cannabis legalisation in Germany.

The results of these studies could prove that the legalisation of recreational cannabis works better for public health than prohibitionism. Data collected on the side effects and impact of regulated access could show that this legal framework provides safer access for users, thereby reducing consumption-related risks.

Additionally, insights from these model projects could lead to new informed policies that minimise the risks associated with cannabis consumption. However, the future of this and other initiatives outlined in "Pillar 2" heavily depends on the political climate and the upcoming elections – a context of uncertainty that does little to inspire investor confidence.

CONCLUSION

Cannabis legalisation in Germany is at a delicate juncture. While model projects represent a scientific approach, all the efforts made so far could be in vain if a new government decides to halt the process or even reverse the progress achieved to date.

Este artículo fue publicado en nuestro blog https://www.dinafem.org/es/blog/via-libre-para-los-proyectos-piloto-de-investigacion-del-impacto-del-cannabis-en-alemania/ pero puedes leerlo íntregramente en #Nostr

VÍA LIBRE PARA LOS PROYECTOS PILOTO DE INVESTIGACIÓN DEL IMPACTO DEL CANNABIS EN ALEMANIA

* Este año 2024 ha supuesto un antes y un después en el camino hacia la legalización del cannabis en Alemania, un hito que ha marcado la senda de modelos regulados en Europa.
* La legalización del cannabis para uso recreativo, que se produjo en abril de este año, forma parte de un plan más amplio que vendría acompañado de la evaluación del impacto del cannabis para adultos en la sociedad.
* En este artículo, exploraremos en profundidad el estado actual del marco legal en el país teutón, en qué consiste este modelo y su posible impacto en áreas como la salud pública, el mercado negro y la economía.

***¿En qué punto se encuentra Alemania en la legalización del cannabis?***

Aunque muchos creen que la legalización del cannabis para uso adulto en Alemania es una tarea finalizada, lo cierto es que a día de hoy se está implementando el llamado "Pilar 1", una fase que incluye la despenalización del consumo y autocultivo de la planta de marihuana, algo que se produjo en abril de este año.

Sin embargo, el "Pilar 2", que permitiría la venta de cannabis recreativo en tiendas especializadas (entre otras medidas), aún no se ha implementado; y muchos son los que temen que nunca llegue a ver la luz, ya que el entorno político y las elecciones anticipadas de febrero 2025 han aumentado la incertidumbre en el sector.

Y es que, si bien el cannabis medicinal es legal en Alemania bajo prescripción desde 2017, el marco legal completo para su uso recreacional sigue siendo incierto.

Proyectos Modelo: un análisis del impacto del cannabis recreativo y su importancia para alcanzar el Pilar 2
Los llamados "proyectos modelo de cannabis" en Alemania son investigaciones piloto destinadas a analizar las repercusiones del uso del cannabis para fines recreacionales en un entorno controlado.

Estos análisis recopilarán información sobre los posibles efectos del acceso legal al cannabis, analizando factores sociales, económicos y de salud pública. Un modelo que está pensado para realizarse en colaboración con universidades, municipios y empresas del sector; y que avalará la progresión de la regularización, midiendo que esta se implemente de forma segura para los usuarios.

***Objetivos de los Proyectos Modelo de cannabis en Alemania***

Estas investigaciones, que aún no se han producido, tendrían como finalidad asegurar una transición sólida y beneficiosa desde el punto de vista social:

Medir el impacto de la regulación sobre el mercado negro: uno de los principales objetivos de la legalización es redirigir a los consumidores hacia fuentes seguras y reguladas.
Impacto sobre la población joven: la investigación se centrará en analizar cómo las regulaciones pueden prevenir el acceso al cannabis recreacional por parte de menores de edad.
Consumo seguro: el foco está en promover maneras y formatos de consumo que impliquen menos riesgo para la salud, a la vez que garantizar la seguridad de los productos cannábicos con medidas como el análisis de posibles contaminantes.

***Vía libre para solicitar licencias para los Proyectos Modelo***

Después de que el Gobierno alemán eliminara este año el cannabis de la lista de narcóticos, faltaba un paso importante, que se dio el pasado 10 de diciembre, cuando el Ministerio Federal de Alimentación y Agricultura de Alemania (BMEL, por sus siglas en alemán), anunció la firma oficial de una ordenanza que lo convierte en la autoridad reguladora de los Proyectos Modelo en el país.

Esto incluye la emisión de permisos, la regulación del comercio y la monitorización de los resultados. Un alivio para los 27 municipios y Estados federales que esperaban para poder iniciar estos programas piloto.

Sin embargo, el BMEL ha aclarado que este paso no implica la transición al tan esperado "Pilar 2" del proyecto de regulación completa del cannabis en Alemania. Con los partidos anti-cannabis aumentando su liderazgo en las encuestas antes de las previsibles elecciones anticipadas de febrero, existe un creciente temor de que el "Pilar 2" podría ser derogado por el próximo gobierno; algo que ha aumentado la presión para aprobar las licencias de los programas piloto lo antes posible.

Y es que cualquier proyecto de investigación aprobado por el BLE no podrá ser detenido por un futuro gobierno; sin embargo, no se podrán iniciar nuevos proyectos de investigación si el decreto se deroga en el futuro.

***¿Quién puede participar en los proyectos modelo de investigación?***

A partir de ahora, tanto universidades como empresas privadas y municipios podrás solicitar sus licencias para participar en los programas piloto para medir el impacto del cannabis para uso adulto.

Las entidades que soliciten este permiso deberán presentar un plan detallado explicando cómo van a recopilar y analizar los datos. Ciudades como Frankfurt y Hannover ya han anunciado su participación en colaboración con universidades y empresas del sector, que ofrecerán cannabis a ciudadanos previamente seleccionados a través de establecimientos con licencia para participar en la investigación, mientras se recopilará información sobre el comportamiento del consumidor y los posibles efectos secundarios del consumo de cannabis.

Estas investigaciones tendrán una duración de cinco años, a través de los cuales se podrán evaluar los efectos a largo plazo del consumo de cannabis recreacional y realizar ajustes en ciertos parámetros si fuera necesario.

***Implicaciones para el futuro***

Muchos se preguntarán por qué hay tanto interés por parte de municipios y, sobre todo, empresas privadas del sector en llevar a cabo estos programas piloto. La realidad es que los Proyectos Modelo podrían contribuir a sentar las bases para una legalización más amplia en Alemania.

Los resultados de estos programas podrían probar que la legalidad del cannabis para uso recreacional funciona mejor a nivel de salud pública que el prohibicionismo. Con los datos recopilados sobre los efectos secundarios y el impacto en los usuarios del acceso regulado, se podría demostrar que este marco legal permite un acceso más seguro.

Además, a partir de las conclusiones obtenidas a través de estas investigaciones, se podrían diseñar nuevas políticas informadas que minimicen riesgos. Sin embargo, el futuro de esta y otras iniciativas contempladas en el "Pilar 2" depende en gran parte del clima político y de las próximas elecciones; un contexto de incertidumbre que no favorece la confianza a los inversores.

***Conclusión***

La legalización del cannabis en Alemania se encuentra en un momento delicado. Mientras que los proyectos modelo representan un enfoque científico que podría avalar los beneficios de la regularización del cannabis, de nada podrían servir los esfuerzos realizados hasta ahora si un nuevo gobierno decide detener este proceso; y que incluso podrían revertir los pasos que se han dado hacia adelante y que tanto optimismo han creado tanto en Alemania, como en el resto de Europa.

#cannabis #weed #cannabistr #weedstr #blog #seaweed #seaweedstr #420 #dinafem

The Power of Ascophyllum Nodosum Extract in Cannabis Cultivation
In recent years, the use of natural biostimulants in agriculture has gained significant prominence. One product that has captured considerable attention is the extract of the marine alga Ascophyllum nodosum.
Commonly found along the North Atlantic coasts, this alga is renowned for its ability to enhance plant growth and increase resilience to various types of stress.
In cannabis cultivation, Ascophyllum nodosum extracts have shown unique properties that contribute to improving both the quality and yield of crops.

The use of seaweed extracts in agriculture and horticulture has a history dating back thousands of years. However, it is only recently that the active ingredients responsible for making these extracts a valuable resource for plant growth and development have been identified and understood.

Seaweed extracts are particularly rich in natural plant growth hormones and beneficial trace elements, which makes them key components of many biostimulant products available on the market today.

The best seaweed extracts come from the species Ascophyllum nodosum, a brown alga that grows in mineral-rich waters such as those near Norway and Nova Scotia. Exposed to extreme conditions like temperature changes, flooding, drought, salt stress, and intense solar radiation, these algae develop high levels of hormones and protective agents (particularly auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins) which are incredibly useful to plants.

Benefits of Hormones in Plant Development
Auxins, for instance, are produced in the leaves for then being transported to roots and growth tips to initiate crucial physiological changes, such as root formation. In horticulture, synthetic auxins are used in rooting powders and cloning gels to stimulate root growth. However, seaweed extracts contain natural auxins that, when combined with cytokinins, promote a larger root mass, thereby improving water and mineral absorption and strengthening the plant's resistance to stress.

Cytokinins are also abundant in seaweed extracts and play a critical role in rapid cell division and the formation of new cell walls. If applied just before the flowering starts, these hormones can also stimulate the development of more lateral buds, resulting in better flower and fruit production.

Gibberellins are also found in seaweed extracts. They are known for their influence on stem elongation and flower development, and also play a fundamental role in seed germination. By soaking the seeds in seaweed extracts before sowing, gibberellins activate dormant seeds to produce enzymes that break down the stored starches into energy, thereby facilitating germination.

Why Ascophyllum Nodosum?
Ascophyllum nodosum extract is rich in these types of hormones, as well as in a variety of bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, amino acids, and trace elements. All of these make it a versatile biostimulant for various agricultural applications.

According to recent research https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6548832 this extract can help in multiple aspects of plant development:

* Enhanced Root Development: Due to its content of natural growth hormones like cytokinins and auxins, it promotes robust root development, which improves nutrient and water absorption.
* Drought Stress Resistance: Ascophyllum nodosum improves the ability of plants to withstand drought conditions, which is crucial for maintaining crop health in environments where water access is limited.
* Growth Stimulation: This alga acts as a plant growth stimulant, increasing plant biomass and fostering more robust development, which is key to maximising cannabis production.
* Root-Microbiome Interaction: It also improves interactions between plant roots and soil microorganisms, promoting the colonisation of mycorrhizae. These symbiotic associations between fungi and roots are essential for improving nutrient absorption and disease resistance.
* Better Quality Flowers and Buds: By enhancing chlorophyll production, Ascophyllum nodosum can lead to higher photosynthesis rates. This translates into more energy for growth and flower production, resulting in denser and more resinous buds, which improves both the quantity and quality of the final product.
* Tolerance to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses: The compounds in this extract also help increase plant resistance to stresses like pests, diseases, and adverse weather conditions, reducing the need for chemical products and promoting more sustainable growing.

There are specific studies https://www.researchgate.net/publication/276458449_The_effect_of_Ascophyllum_nodosum_extract_on_the_growth_yield_and_fruit_quality_of_tomato_grown_under_tropical_conditions which demonstrate the potential of Ascophyllum nodosum extract to improve both productivity and fruit quality in tomato cultivation, when applied as a foliar spray in tropical environments. The extract appears to stimulate plant growth, stress tolerance, and fruit development through multiple mechanisms.

In some field experiments, for instance, foliar sprays containing 0.2 - 0.5% Ascophyllum nodosum extract significantly increased plant height (10 - 37%) and fruit yield (51 - 63%) in comparison to control plants. In greenhouse experiments, spraying with 0.5% of this extract increased plant height (20%), root mass (99%), shoot mass (38%), the number of fruit clusters (81%), and fruit yield (54%) in comparison to controls.

The treatment also improved various fruit quality parameters, including size, colour, firmness, total soluble solids, and mineral/vitamin content, leading researchers to conclude that this alga offers clear benefits for improving tomato yield and quality in tropical growing conditions. This is likely due to its content of plant hormones, minerals, and other bioactive compounds.

Application in Cannabis Cultivation
Cannabis is a demanding plant that requires a perfect balance of nutrients and growing conditions. This is where Ascophyllum nodosum extract has proven to be particularly effective. By increasing resistance to water stress and improving root/microbiome interactions, this extract enhances the ability of cannabis plants to absorb essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, resulting in more vigorous growth and higher-quality flower production.

Additionally, the use of this alga helps reduce the need for chemical pesticides and fertilisers, aligning with organic and sustainable growing practices that many cannabis growers seek today.

It is interesting to note that, although the use of Ascophyllum nodosum is not always explicitly mentioned in the description of some growing products, this ingredient is the main active component in plant stimulators, such as those by Green Hope (specifically in products like Floramax and Rootmax). While Ascophyllum nodosum is not clearly specified in the technical data sheets of these products, this extract plays a central role in their formulation, contributing to the benefits observed in cannabis crops by maximising plant growth and resistance to adverse conditions.

In Summary...
Ascophyllum nodosum extract has become a powerful ally for growers looking to improve the quality and yield of their crops, including cannabis. Its ability to enhance stress resistance, promote growth, and foster soil and plant health makes it an essential tool in modern agriculture.

As more growers adopt sustainable practices, it is likely that we will see an increase in the use of natural biostimulants based on this marine alga, leveraging all its incredible potential to achieve healthier and more abundant crops.

The Power of Ascophyllum Nodosum Extract in Cannabis Cultivation
In recent years, the use of natural biostimulants in agriculture has gained significant prominence. One product that has captured considerable attention is the extract of the marine alga Ascophyllum nodosum.
Commonly found along the North Atlantic coasts, this alga is renowned for its ability to enhance plant growth and increase resilience to various types of stress.
In cannabis cultivation, Ascophyllum nodosum extracts have shown unique properties that contribute to improving both the quality and yield of crops.

The use of seaweed extracts in agriculture and horticulture has a history dating back thousands of years. However, it is only recently that the active ingredients responsible for making these extracts a valuable resource for plant growth and development have been identified and understood.

Seaweed extracts are particularly rich in natural plant growth hormones and beneficial trace elements, which makes them key components of many biostimulant products available on the market today.

The best seaweed extracts come from the species Ascophyllum nodosum, a brown alga that grows in mineral-rich waters such as those near Norway and Nova Scotia. Exposed to extreme conditions like temperature changes, flooding, drought, salt stress, and intense solar radiation, these algae develop high levels of hormones and protective agents (particularly auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins) which are incredibly useful to plants.

Benefits of Hormones in Plant Development
Auxins, for instance, are produced in the leaves for then being transported to roots and growth tips to initiate crucial physiological changes, such as root formation. In horticulture, synthetic auxins are used in rooting powders and cloning gels to stimulate root growth. However, seaweed extracts contain natural auxins that, when combined with cytokinins, promote a larger root mass, thereby improving water and mineral absorption and strengthening the plant's resistance to stress.

Cytokinins are also abundant in seaweed extracts and play a critical role in rapid cell division and the formation of new cell walls. If applied just before the flowering starts, these hormones can also stimulate the development of more lateral buds, resulting in better flower and fruit production.

Gibberellins are also found in seaweed extracts. They are known for their influence on stem elongation and flower development, and also play a fundamental role in seed germination. By soaking the seeds in seaweed extracts before sowing, gibberellins activate dormant seeds to produce enzymes that break down the stored starches into energy, thereby facilitating germination.

Why Ascophyllum Nodosum?
Ascophyllum nodosum extract is rich in these types of hormones, as well as in a variety of bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, amino acids, and trace elements. All of these make it a versatile biostimulant for various agricultural applications.

5 out of 5
This plant surprised me all the way. I got two pheno's, both opposite to each other. One, tall, stretchy and very sweet smelling. The other was short, very compact and very sour. Growing together, the room smelled like a packet of Skittles! The sweet one smelled of cedar wood, the smaller had pine and lemon and a softer cedar note. Both have a hazy background but no fuel smell or taste. After two months of curing the taste has mellowed and is really nice. Softer and more complex. The haze has added to the deep woody flavour. The higher notes now add a touch of incense to finish it off. Nicer tasting then it smells and it keeps changing. The sour runt has a bit more flavour, slightly higher feeling, and I suspect closer to Chemdog as it was supposed to be, except in size! Both gave a good happy high that lasts, with a slight effect on the body the more you smoke. Anytime or social occasions smoke.

What's your choice dear nostriches? Wet or dry trimming?

Cannabis growing is comprised of several stages, all of which are equally important when it comes to producing high-quality, abundant crops.
Oftentimes, novice growers try their best during the actual growing stage, mistakenly thinking that once they’ve cut down their plants all that is left to do is hang them to dry.
But because they mark the culmination of the growing cycle, post-harvest stages are just as important as the actual growing phase. Read on for a comparison of dry and wet trimming and discover the pros and cons of both methods

Cannabis growing is comprised of several stages, all of which are equally important when it comes to producing high-quality, abundant crops.
Oftentimes, novice growers try their best during the actual growing stage, mistakenly thinking that once they’ve cut down their plants all that is left to do is hang them to dry.
But because they mark the culmination of the growing cycle, post-harvest stages are just as important as the actual growing phase. Read on for a comparison of dry and wet trimming and discover the pros and cons of both methods.

As cannabis growing becomes increasingly popular, growers across the world are taking an increasing interest in trimming, producing flowers of ever-growing quality. Sadly, all approaches come with their pros and cons and there's no such thing as the perfect method. Take a look at the guide below to help you choose the trimming technique that might work best for you.

DRY TRIMMING
Highly popular among small growers, dry trimming involves cutting down the plants and hanging them to dry for some 20-30 days before actually starting to trim. Even so, you'll still have to remove fan leaves in order to reduce humidity levels and favour the plant's metabolic processes – e.g. the gas exchanges that determine the flavours, aromas and effects of cannabis. This is a vital stage during which the flowers evolve gradually as they dry.

The more leafy the flowers, the higher the humidity and, thus, also the risk of mould growth. On the positive side, metabolic processes like gas exchanges are slower in buds that are surrounded by foliage. As a result, the organoleptic profile is subtler and more complex than with wet trimming, which tends to produce flavours, aromas and effects that are not as intense.

Another upside to dry trimming is that the leaves protect the flowers from damage during transport and handling of the plants, ensuring all their qualities are preserved, for example, the terpenes and the quality of the resin. The chief drawback to working in dry conditions is that the process takes much longer because the leaves are brittle and prone to breaking.

Dry trimming is particularly well suited to small grows, where priority is given to quality and the final product often meets the standards of international cannabis competitions like the High Times Cannabis Cup. One final point: trimming machines provide significantly better results when the buds are fresh and thus are not recommended for dry trimming.

Pros:

Flowers and extracts exhibit better overall properties
Improved aroma
Improved flavour
Effects get more intense and complex
Cannabis cup-grade quality

Cons:

Increased risk of mould growth
Flowers dry more slowly
Process takes longer than wet trimming
Suitable only for small cannabis grows

WET TRIMMING
Common among small growers, wet trimming is the preferred choice of large-scale producers as it allows to process large amounts of flowers in little time, while ensuring a healthy, mould free final product. Trimming in wet conditions involves removing the leaves immediately after cutting down the plants, when the water content is still high. Frequently, this is performed with the aid of a machine trimmer that has been specifically designed for large-scale cannabis production. Many growers in the industry, however, prefer to have specialist workers do the work manually.

By removing the leaves from the buds prior to trimming, the humidity is drastically reduced, which results in a significantly lower risk of mould. Highly efficient and safe, wet trimming is a great way to ensure the profitability of large-scale cannabis growing businesses.

Because their establishment requires a large initial investment, losing a crop partially or in full is something professional growers cannot afford, so it is only natural that they take whatever measures they can to prevent such an economic disaster.

As for the quality of the final product, if the trimming is performed by a team of workers, it won't differ much from that of dry trimmed buds. On the contrary, if machine trimmers are used, the result won't be as polished – machines slightly alter bag appeal and cause some resin and terpene loss.

While advancements in technology have led to the development of ever sophisticated trimmers, steel cannot match the delicacy of a human hand, which in turn will never be as fast and constant as a machine. But whether manual or mechanical, dry trimming will always be a faster method than dry trimming.

Pros:

Process is faster
Risk of mould growth is dramatically lower
Flowers dry faster
Optimised yields
Compatible with machine trimmers
Suitable both for small and large cannabis grows

Cons:

Flowers and extracts are of slightly lower quality
Small loss of resin and terpenes
Flavours, aromas and effects are somewhat less complex and intense
OK but not great bag appeal
With both methods, you can save the trim and use it for extract and concentrates of different types. Again, there's no such thing as the perfect method, so the choice will ultimately come down to your priorities and specific needs.

One of the eggs is close to eclossion, that's the Eye-spot stage egg. Zoom in and you'll notice the little red spot...
You can also see a kind of threads, this indicates that the pest has been present for some time and the number of adult individuals that we are going to find is already out of control!

In reply to nevent1q…rguh
_________________________

They go through 6 or 7 different stages. Females lay their eggs singly in plant tissues (leaves, tender parts of the stem), an average of 40 (up to 300) over their lifetime. Incubation time varies depending on temperature, being about 4 days at 26º C, with high mortality at high temperatures and low humidity.
Newborn larvae emerge from the egg and immediately begin feeding in the place where they were laid. As the larvae develop, they continue feeding in sheltered places on leaves, flowers or fruit.

In the following nymphal stages, they stop feeding, passing into a state of immobility that develops preferably in the soil, in damp places or in natural cracks up to 15 mm below ground level.

2024-07-10T09:33:10Z

Ok so now that we know how does thrip damage look, let's see the Frankliniella occidentalis, aka Western Flowers Thrips himself.

First, a leaf with initial damage, easy to recognize due to the silverish brights on the leaf surface. If you detect the pest at this very initial stage you are already winning the battle. Spray neem oil or potassium soap and repeat a few days later. Or spray once and next day introduce natural predators Amblyseius swirskii

Second picture is a young thrip. See the green stuff in his guts! Sucker!

Third picture is an adult.

And forth picture, the best F. occidentalis picture you will ever find.
This one is by Dr. Ulitzka R. Manfred @thysanoptera, the wise man behind a website called thrips-id
https://www.thrips-id.com/en/frankliniella-occidentalis/

Some facts:
- They go through several stages, on one of those early stages they stay on the soil, which make them harder to annihilate
- If you are going to fight them with chemicals: Acetamiprid
- They are not a critical issue for big plants but can ruin cloning/nursery areas.
-They originally come from California
- They are a vector for plant viruses.

As you all probably know, cannabis plants can be female or male (or intersexual but those hermies will ruin your crop)
In order to produce feminized seeds you need to spray a female plant with certain chemicals, usually with something called STS (Silver Thiosulfate) just before they turn to flowering stage. That inhibites the ethylene production, and the female cannabis plant will grow male flowers, which will release pollen.

Apply that pollen over a fertile normal untreated female plant, and she will develop feminized seeds.

100% agree They just don't know yet 🙄

We don't sell weed. Atm we don't even sell seeds. We just post pictures of cannabis plants. Other people enjoy uploading pictures of grapes, garden flowers or trees.

And yes, they have been wrong all the time 😉

Hello, this is Dinafem Seeds, a cannabis feminized seeds bank, ready to use Nostr after we got our Instagram dinafemseedsofficial feed suddenly closed.

After more than 10 years there, we had hundreds of pictures and almost 150K followers, but in the blink of an eye this corporate owned social media decided to definitively suspend our account.

We know Nostr is still a small place but just like a young seedling, if it's provided with water, nutrients, light and love it has the potential to grow healthy and huge. And we really LOVE the idea of freedom and sovereignty behind this protocol, so here we are, ready to learn how to use this tool, create notes and share our fav pictures.

Hola, somos Dinafem Seeds, un banco de semillas de cannabis feminizadas, listos para usar Nostr después de haber sufrido el cierre repentino de nuestra cuenta de Instagram.

Tras más de 10 años allí, cientos de fotos subidas y casi 150K seguidores, esa red social propiedad de una gran corporación ha suspendido súbitamente nuestra cuenta.

Sabemos que Nostr es un lugar aún pequeño pero al igual que una semilla recién germinada, si se le proporciona agua, nutrientes, luz y un poco de cariño tiene el potencial de crecer sana y gigante. Y realmente amamos la idea de libertad y soberanía que hay tras este protocolo, así que aquí estamos, dispuestos a aprender a usar está herramienta, crear notas y compartir nuestras imágenes favoritas.
