Red stems in cannabis can be due to various factors such as genetic traits, temperature stress, nutrient deficiencies, light intensity, and environmental factors. Some strains naturally exhibit red or purple stems as part of their genetic characteristics. Exposure to colder temperatures or extreme temperature fluctuations during the flowering phase can also cause red stems. Deficiencies in essential nutrients, particularly phosphorus or potassium, can lead to red stems. High light intensity, especially during the flowering stage, can be a contributing factor. Environmental stressors like excessive humidity, poor airflow, or inconsistent watering practices can impact plant health and result in red stems. Monitoring plant health, providing proper nutrients, maintaining optimal conditions, and addressing stressors are essential for healthy growth.

He believes that following the best practices from around the world, including legalizing cannabis-based medicines, would alleviate the pain and stress caused by the conflict. Zelensky's Cabinet has already approved draft legislation, but it still requires parliamentary approval. The move would be a significant departure from Russia's staunch opposition to cannabis reform.
