Varieties are often named by the breeder or grower to differentiate one from another. In competitive legal markets, such as in Amsterdam, there is significant pressure to create unique varieties that dominate the market. This results in a number of distinct variety names that may refer to very similar cannabis. |

Likewise, when a variety becomes popular, many breeders and growers may produce variations of the same variety using the same or similar name. For example, Sour refers to a subset of sativa-dominant Cannabis strains. |

Breeding involves pollinating a female cannabis plant with male pollen. This will happen naturally. However, the intentional creation of new varieties typically involves selective breeding in a controlled environment. |

Often male plants, once identified by their ball-like stamen, will be separated from female flowers. This prevents accidental fertilization of the female plants, either to facilitate sinsemilla flowering or to provide more control over which male is chosen. Pollen produced by the male is caught and stored until it is needed. |

The seeds produced by a germinated female will be F1 hybrids of the male and female. These offspring will not be identical to their parents. Instead, they will have characteristics of both parents. Advanced techniques can stabilize certain characteristics. |

A common technique to stabilize a cannabis variety is called "cubing", in which the breeder will seek specific traits in the hybrid offspring (e.g. greater resin production, tighter node spacing, etc.) and breed said offspring with a parent plant. The same traits are sought in the new inbred offspring, which are then again bred with the original parent plant. This process is called cubing because it usually repeated across three (or possibly more) generations before a variety can be considered at least somewhat stable. |

Seed shops sell both pure varieties that have specific aspects stabilized as well as unstabilized hybrids that may be of questionable quality. Most cannabis varieties used today in North America are asexually propagated Indica varieties that were bred hydroponically to produce large amounts of "bud."[citation needed] |

Botany A botanist is a person engaged in the study of botany. Botany covers a wide range of scientific disciplines including structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases, chemical properties, and evolutionary relationships among taxonomic groups. Botany began with early human efforts to identify edible, medicinal and poisonous plants, making it one of the oldest branches of science. Nowadays, botanists study about 400,000 species of living organisms. |
203 The Benefits of Healthy Whole Foods What's the difference between whole foods and processed foods? Healthy whole foods: you might know that you're supposed to eat them. But do you really know what they are? "We live in a society that eats so much processed and manufactured food, that I think there's some genuine confusion about what qualifies as a whole food," says Tara Gidus, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. Even for the health conscious, the phrase gets tangled up with other terms. Whole foods might be organic, or locally grown, or pesticide-free. But they aren't necessarily. The definition of healthy whole foods is much simpler.
306 What Are Prolotherapy Injections Prolotherapy injections are an experimental treatment for chronic pain. Also known as non-surgical ligament reconstruction, this treatment involves injecting sugar solutions into painful areas, such as ligaments and tendons, to stimulate the body's natural healing process. Doctors typically recommend prolotherapy injections when patients fail to respond to traditional treatments. Prolotherapy is used to treat a variety of chronic pain, including arthritis, tendonitis, back pain and sports injuries. Scientific studies into prolotherapy have shown mixed results in its effectiveness.
