Cultivar

Marijuana Horticulture

by Jorge Cervantes

A term derived from “cultivated variety”, a population of cultivated plants clearly distinguished by any number of morphological, physiological, cytological, or chemical characteristics. When reproduced sexually or asexually, the population retains its distinguishing characters.

New selections derived from a cultivar or variety such that the selection shows sufficient variation from the parent cultivar to render it worthy of a name, are to be regarded as a distinct cultivar.
