Cannabis ruderalis

Cannabis ruderalis is a subspecies of the Cannabis plant, native to Central and Eastern Europe and Russia. It is known for its small size, hardy nature, and ability to grow in difficult conditions. Unlike Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica, ruderalis contains lower levels of THC, the compound responsible for psychoactive effects, making it less likely to produce a "high." It’s often used in breeding programs to develop hybrid strains that can autof lower and flower automatically without light cycle changes. This unique trait makes Cannabis ruderalis valuable for certain cultivation purposes, particularly in regions with shorter growing seasons.
