Abstract
The invention relates to methods of maturing Cannabis plants. In some embodiments, the cannabis plants are matured until they have reached a defined height for an extended period of time during a vegetative stage in a defined sized container under a first light schedule prior to flowering. In some embodiments, the plant is started in a small container, and subsequently moved to a larger container. In some embodiments, a source of the cannabis plant for the propagation is a mother plant which is kept without flowering, the mother plant grown from a non-genetically modified (non-GMO) seed, and the mother plant has itself matured according to methods of the invention.
Claims20
A method of maturing a cannabis plant comprising:
- (a) propagating the cannabis plant during a propagation phase;
- (b) growing the cannabis plant during a growth or vegetative stage using a light source according to a first light schedule for an extended duration of time in a container which is at least 15 gallons until the plant has reached a specified height of at least 6 feet, wherein flowering of the cannabis plant is actively prevented during the growth or vegetative stage;
- and
- (c) after the cannabis plant has reached the specified height of at least 6 feet, inducing the cannabis plant to enter a flowering stage by switching to a second light schedule;
- and
- (d) harvesting said cannabis plant, said harvested cannabis from the plant exhibiting actual psychoactive potency to induce cerebral psychoactive high and euphoria with reduced or no counterproductive side effects compared to cannabis obtained from the cannabis plant which is not developed or matured according to the method before flowering.
A method of maturing a cannabis plant comprising:
- (a) propagating the cannabis plant during a propagation phase;
- (b) growing the cannabis plant during a growth or vegetative stage for 12-16 weeks prior to inducing the plant to flower in a container which is at least 3 gallons and then moving the plant to a larger container to reach the height of at least 6 feet;
- (c) inducing the cannabis plant to flower;
- and
- (d) harvesting the cannabis plant, said harvested cannabis plant exhibiting actual psychoactive potency to induce cerebral psychoactive high and euphoria with reduced or no counterproductive side effects compared to cannabis from the plant which is not developed and matured according to the method before flowering, as a result of the cannabis plant being maintained in the non-flowering vegetative stage until reaching the height of at least 6 feet prior to flowering.
A method of maturing a cannabis plant comprising:
- (a) propagating the cannabis plant during a propagation phase;
- (b) growing the cannabis plant during a growth or vegetative stage until the plant has reached a height of greater than 3 feet in a container which is of sufficient size to allow for strong and extended root growth;
- (c) stressing the cannabis plant by toping the plant to prevent the plant from growing straight up;
- (d) inducing the cannabis plant to flower;
- and
- (e) harvesting the cannabis plant, said harvested cannabis from the plant exhibiting actual psychoactive potency to induce cerebral psychoactive high and euphoria with reduced or no counterproductive side effects compared to a cannabis plant which is not developed and matured according to the method before flowering.
