Seed to Sale: Growing Marijuana | Discover Marijuana
What does it take to turn the flower from a marijuana plant into something a medical cannabis patient can use?
Cannabis growers often use the time-tested method of planting seeds, but there are alternatives to the old-fashioned way. For example, growers can clone cannabis plants by using cuttings taken from a healthy mother plant.
Once the flower is harvested, it takes a few more weeks of drying and curing before it can be used. Then, the flower is either packaged raw or sent for further processing for use in other cannabis products.
The production of medical cannabis products often involves much more than simply growing, processing, and packaging.
