Cannabis sex determination and sex-expression plasticity, genetic and hormonal regulation, environmental context, hermaphroditism, early detection, and breeding implications.
Visual lesson 02
Mixed-sex expression
Identify anthers or staminate structures appearing on otherwise female plants and distinguish observations from assumptions about cause.
Interactive academic visual
Mixed-sex expression
Record staminate or anther structures appearing on a plant with otherwise pistillate flowersPistillate baseline
Begin with the normal pistillate flower structures present on the plant so unusual reproductive tissue is compared against a clear baseline.
