Mites are common pests belonging to the spider family. The tiny pests attack the leaf of a cannabis plant resulting in yellowing, stippling, and weakening of the plants. Mites inhabit the underside of the leaf and suck out the #0excludeGlossary sap of the plants. The leaves of these plants will be characterized with #1excludeGlossary marks and yellow patches from failure to produce chlorophyll. A mite infestation can result in disastrous results hence an early detection is key.

Mites (Wikipedia)

Mites are small arachnids (eight-legged arthropods). Mites span two large orders of arachnids, the Acariformes and the Parasitiformes, which were historically grouped together in the subclass Acari. However, most recent genetic analyses do not recover the two as each other's closest relative within Arachnida, rendering the group invalid as a clade. Most mites are tiny, less than 1 mm (0.04 in) in length, and have a simple, unsegmented body plan. The small size of most species makes them easily overlooked; some species live in water, many live in soil as decomposers, others live on plants, sometimes creating galls, while others are predators or parasites. This last type includes the commercially destructive Varroa parasite of honey bees, as well as scabies mites of humans. Most species are harmless to humans, but a few are associated with allergies or may transmit diseases.

What is this "Wiki" & how does the cannabis community benefit?

The Green CulturED Wiki enables you to explore, learn, and share through a knowledge base tailored to the cannabis industry. It functions like an encyclopedia, lexicon, glossary, wiki, or dictionary. This tool is useful for industry learners and professionals to learn more about resources, programs, and terms specifically in the cannabis sector.

Yes, new terms can be added by crafting individual entries, each with its own dedicated page and unique URL. By sharing resources, information, and industry information, users are able to foster community, growth, and learning. Once submitted, a glossary term is reviewed by the Green CulturED team, which will then approve or deny the submission. 

While the Green CulturED Community Wiki does not impose specific content restrictions, it is essential to adhere to general web content guidelines, which include avoiding misinformation and respecting copyright laws. For cannabis-related glossaries, it’s critical to ensure the accuracy and legality of the information presented. In addition, common courtesy and “netiquette” are part of our community user agreement, and it is crucial to maintain those levels of respect when adding new terms, comments, etc.

Glossary term categories serve as a reference tool that enhances usability, navigability, and educational value by organizing terms into groups such as industry brands, consulting firms, and seed banks.

The Green CulturED Wiki supports comments on individual glossary terms, enabling users to engage in discussions or leave feedback. This feature fosters collaborative learning and knowledge sharing within the cannabis community.
If you encounter incorrect or outdated information, please contact the site administrators directly or use the commenting feature to report inaccuracies for review and correction. Green CulturED Wiki allows for revisions, enabling updates and corrections.
