Vegetative Propagation of Cannabis sativa and Resin Obtained From its Female Inflorescences

Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) derivatives are of great importance in the medical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. This relevance is mainly due to the active principles (cannabinoids) found mainly in the trichomes of the female inflorescences. One of the most commonly used methods to propagate cannabis is by vegetative stem cuttings. This low-cost technique produces genetically uniform plants, ensuring consistent growth rates and cannabinoid production. The extraction of cannabinoids and other active compounds from the resin of the flowers is the main limitation of cannabis processing. Here, we describe a step-by-step protocol for propagating female cannabis plants from vegetative stem cuttings, inducing flower development, and obtaining high-quality cannabinoid-enriched resin.
