Certain recent studies in mineral nutrition of plants have shown that the time of fertilizer application, in relation to the plant’s ability to use nutrients, is as important as the balance among the nutrients themselves. Since it is also known that the physiology of the staminate and pistillate plants is in sharp contrast, especially in dioecious plants, the writer has undertaken to determine the physiological changes in hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) by varying the composition of various nutrient solutions, and the time of growth in these cultures, in order to test the effect of the treatment upon the ultimate sex expression.
