• Once in a while an albino plant is borne cannabis
  • Albinism is a rare, but not unheard of phenomenon in plants. There are many potential causes
  • There are many theories and speculations about the cause of albinism in plants

Albinism in plants

Albinism is a very special phenomenon, especially in plants. As most of us know, plants produce energy from sunlight. Green color is caused by chlorophyll pigment in plants. Not only does this pigment give plants a typically green color, it is also vital for plant survival.

Chlorophyll is capable of athe absorption of specific wavelengths the plant needs (from ultraviolet blue to red), with the rest of the unnecessary light reflecting the plant - so we see reflected light as the green color of the leaves. As a result, the plant absorbs all the necessary light and converts the resulting energy and sugars, which it then uses for further growth - or known photosynthesis.

Albinos have no chlorophyll. This means that they do not have the pigment needed to convert light to energy.

Simply put, albino plants basically lose the ability to respond to light in the right waythey are still in the dark. As a result, most such plants die before they reach maturity.

MomentTwo potential causes are known why plants become albinos:

1. Genetics

As with humans, albinism is a very rare phenomenon in plants. Albinism is the recessive genetic trait of plants, which in turn weakens them. Some of the plants may show signs of albinism already in the seedling stage.

Butto be considered an albino, the plant may not be completely white. Some of the plants may show signs of albinism only in certain parts of their body or only on some leaves, which can be triggered by both genetics and environmental factors.

Interestingly, somewhereSome plants can survive as an albino - for example, redwoods on the coast of Northern California that survive without the photosynthesis process.

K prekvathe researchers themselves are using these trees to survive parasitic tactics - link their roots to their parents roots and feed on their microelements. Although albino redwoods survive in this way, their construction and overall health are worse than their "normal" counterparts. At the moment, scientists (purely out of curiosity) are dealing with a way to make life-long survival of albino cannabis plants.

In particular, what can be triggered by albino proje in cannabisv is also the process of hybridizing different genetics. In some cases, some "overblown" genetics are prone to italbinism.

2. Bleaching with light

Bleaching with light is a far more frequent case than albinism. Some varieties are more susceptible to bleaching than others. However, the most common is bleaching for plant parts that are too close to the light source. This symptom pays to be careful when growing, as bleached parts of the plant lose their photosynthesis and hence growth.

Is White Cannabis Quality?

If you have read here, you probably understand that the answer is simply "no". In short, white cannabis is unable to produce the same amount of energy as green, purple or red plants. While you can help white plants by supplying more nutrients, you will never achieve the same results as plants that are capable of normal photosynthesis.

What to do if rthe spines fade and turn white

Whether bleaching is caused by illumination or a genetic defect, there are a few ways to get the most out of the plant.

Velice ranResearch on this issue shows that it is possible to help such plants by the additional supply of sugars. Even so, growth may be abnormal and yields will be limited. Without additional sugars, most aLbin plant dies.

If bleaching only shows up on some parts of the plant, you dont have to hang your head right away and you can add to the fertilization, which in most cases will keep the plant alive and will be able to produce at least some yield.However, if it fadescaused by lighting, the first step is to increase the distance between light and plants. Limited space could be a switch to LED lamps with a smaller wata.

If you see an albino right at the seedling, the ruthless termination of growth is the best solution. In short, albino cannabis is not able to produce quality medicine that has a balanced and hence effective therapeutic content of cannabinoids.
