As the industrial hemp ( Cannabis sativa L.) market grows, there is a need for methods to clonally propagate parental breeding stock and new cultivars. Information lacking on vegetative cutting propagation of hemp. We evaluated how environment (intermittent mist vs. subirrigation under humidity dome), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) formulation (talc rooting powder IBA in solution), concentration (...
