First of all, I post at a lot of cultivation sites.
This is my favorite.
This site seems to have the best experienced grower to annoying numbnuts ratio of them all, which is why I chose to post the following here.
Marijuana is one of the oldest plants on earth. Since it relies on wind for pollination (vs. insects for most other plants) it might have existed before any terrestial insects evolved.
So here's what I was wondering:
When a marijuana plant is sexually mature (has enough stored energy for reproduction) in indicates this by growing alternating nodes.
Why?
Physical changes to indicate sexual maturity is common with all insect and animal life. With people of course sexual maturity is indicated in many ways, the most obvious being growing pubic hair and breasts on females.
But when marijuana evolved, likely there were nothing on land that had eyes.
Besides, sexual maturity does not indicate flowering, which may not occur for months.
I can't think of what evolutionary advatage alternating nodes gives marijuna.
Can you?
