First off, you will need a mother plant to produce clones. Wikipedia defines clones as any organism whose genetic information is identical to that of a parent organism from which it was created. A mother plant can come from a seed source, be purchased from a nursery, or taken from your current garden.
Usually a mother plant is a plant kept in perpetual vegetative stage by keeping it on a hour light cycle. This light cycle prevents the mother plant from going into flower. One of the main reasons some people will choose to take cuttings is that they can replicate their most vigorous, high yielding plants over and over again.
One thing to keep in mind is that annual plants in nature do not live for more than one year, which will cause a decline in yield in every round of cuttings. Problems can also arise with fighting off environmental stresses, diseases and insects, as the genetics weaken season after season. A plant grown from seed is capable of yielding more than a cloned offspring. Most plants grown from seed naturally produce a tap root, whereas plants grown from clones are unable to do so.
A tap root acts as an anchor for the plant which aids in better support and water and nutrient uptake. Outdoor growers lean toward growing from seed for this very reason. For indoor growers, tap roots are not a major concern, as plants do not require them to survive in containers. Growing from seed also lessens your chances of inheriting any pests or diseases from a cutting. Seeds do have their cons however. Germination rates vary by plant species, harvest times are longer than when starting from cuttings, and there are costs associated with purchasing them whereas clones taken from plants you already own are free.
Seeds also need to germinate before going through the vegetative and flowering stage, adding weeks to their development. The fact that clones grow faster also means there is a lower yield. Yes, many dispensaries sell clones or seeds to either licensed or recreational growers. This depends on the laws in your area. Clones cannot be shipped via mail like seeds, so they must be purchased or obtained from individuals or stores. Just like you would online, research where you plan to buy your clones so that you can ensure healthy and potent plants with good yields.
Typically, No. Any plant grown from seed will have the genetic makeup of both the male and female parents. If your female clone develops seeds, it has been pollinated by a male. However, the process of selfing can induce a female clone to produce a male flower. The pollen from that flower is used to self-fertilize the female flower on the same plant.
The fertilized female flower then produces feminized clone seeds. These seeds will produce identical plants because the clone pollinated itself. Yes, you can make feminized seeds from clones. This is because it does not matter if the plant is from clones or seeds. The important thing is getting the clone to produce seeds, and then following the same process to feminize those seeds.
As long as the clone is female, you can fertilize it using any other male plant. This is because clones are branches without roots, and the first thing they develop after being planted is a root system. Compared to seedlings, clones are weaker because they do not have a taproot that travels deeper into the soil, offering support, and reaching water and nutrients located deep within.
Clones also develop a single node, meaning a single branch per node, while cannabis plants from seeds develop two-sided nodes, meaning that they develop twice the number of branches per plant, yielding more than the clones. Although it is quite challenging to clone autoflowering strains of marijuana, it is not impossible. Some growers claim to have done it successfully but were not rewarded in terms of yields.
Therefore, if you are doing it on an experimental basis, give it a try; however, it is hardly ever recommended. Enjoy delicious, all natural bud home!

In California, it is not a low-barrier-to-entry enterprise. Identify them as trade secrets. You can also submit a redacted copy without the trade secrets to regulators in case they have a public record request. If they insist, you can also submit under seal and designate the trade secret as proprietary. In other words, it is withheld from the public record. Host a community barbecue with no ulterior motive other than to get to know your neighbors on a human level as opposed to just sending a glossy postcard or having a [public relations] person go door-to-door to drum up support.
If the neighbors find out through official channels, they may have misconceptions that could have been easily resolved if there had been one-on-one personal outreach. Example: In Oakland, Calif. They hired security guards to provide security for the whole neighborhood—not just for themselves.
They cleaned up the whole neighborhood—not just the area in front of them. The neighbors really began to appreciate them. Other states break it into three separate licenses, so you might only cultivate cannabis, only process cannabis, only have a retail dispensary or have a combination of those three. In some states, there is a grower-processor license that lets you cultivate and process cannabis in other forms such as an oil, a patch, a tincture or an edible.
You might need a separate license if you want to operate a dispensary. What will make you stand out in a positive way? Some applicants will highlight their connection to medical cannabis and how it has impacted their own lives or their loved ones. Others highlight their intentions for giving back to the community. One applicant, for example, talked about opening a charter school in a disadvantaged neighborhood in Chicago.
Use your application to capture unique aspects that can help you get noticed. Some do. Some requirements can be met at little to no expense. Others need to be done by a third party and can drive the cost up. If you have a complicated [business] structure, your attorney fees are generally more expensive than if you are a sole individual. Sometimes they are only a few thousand dollars, or they can be much more substantial. The fee may be refundable or not.
We applied in Pennsylvania along with about other companies for 12 grower-processor licenses. Veterans are a major part of [its] population. We were bringing 45 new jobs, and we asked ourselves what part of the population we could affect the most. With such a high veteran population, we decided to hire veterans as 30 percent of our workforce.
We held a job fair and placed a focus on veterans at the fair. Folks who are thinking about getting into the industry or want to apply for a new license should definitely make community impact a priority. We have our own government affairs, finance, accounting, communications, marketing, creative and purchasing [teams]. Everybody contributes, and then we organize and submit.
Local and state governments have diversification plans that are often mindful of smaller businesses. In Longmont, Colo. We were one of three mid-size to large companies picked, and the fourth award went to a smaller company. Governments are aware that there needs to be opportunity for everyone. I believe that, over the next two or three years, the industry will be rolled up, consolidated and controlled by several of the larger players. Jump in and put together a good, strong team.
You are going up against entities that have won in other states or gotten graded in the top one to 10 applicants in other states. They will take that expertise and experience from state to state until they are licensed everywhere. You need an investment partner that has the available cash to commit.
Include women and minorities on the team and among the vendors used for design, construction and operation. The real estate needs to be tied down. These are really the key points, and you need to be strong in every single one of them.

Emissions of some compounds, including terpenoid compounds from vegetation, are highly variable and can vary more than an order of magnitude over spatial scales of a few kilometers and time scales of less than a day Wang et al.
This makes estimation of these emissions especially challenging and yet accurate quantification and simulation of these fluxes is a necessary step towards developing air pollution control strategies and for attributing observed atmospheric composition changes to their causes. Biogenic VOC BVOC emission models assume that emission rates are the product of an emission factor EF and an emission activity factor, similar to the approach used for most anthropogenic emission estimates.
While research activities tend to focus on emission activity factors, it is clear that uncertainties in EF are significant and for plant species with few or no emission factors or highly variable chemotypes, such as Cannabis, EF uncertainties dominate the total uncertainty in BVOC emission rate estimates.
