The path from innocent cannabis seed to luscious marijuana bud is fraught with danger. Almost like the main character in a video game, the marijuana seedling must successfully fight off threats in five successive levels before it’s capable of reaping the fruits – in this case, the buds – of its labor. Because of the plant’s delicateness, cannabis operators must think long and hard about the cannabis cultivation process. (Benzinga) One of the key decisions in a marijuana seed’s path to harvest is the form of cultivation. Like all plants, marijuana plants grow from seeds, but they can also grow from clones. Taking a page out of science fiction novels – or maybe the other way around – marijuana plants can create genetically identical copies of themselves, which, like their regular counterparts, can produce the buds needed to make cannabis products. There’s heated debate on which cultivation starting point – seed or clone – is superior, but for Marijuana Company of America Inc., the decision is clear: clones provide quicker and greater yields than seeds.
