These macro shots document the final stage of the root system of Cannabis sativa L. (cultivar: Northern Light Auto, Royal Queen Seeds) immediately after the completion of the generative phase and the harvest.
Rhizosphere Structure: The images show the fully developed network of primary and secondary roots. Despite the end of the life cycle, the structural integrity of the main root (taproot) is evident, which carried the entire biostatic load of the plant during the flowering phase.
Root Architecture & Lignification: A high degree of lignification (wooding) is noticeable in the area of the root collar. This is a sign of healthy nutrient transport through the xylem throughout the entire lifespan.
Substrate Interaction: The fine branching that still encloses fragments of the medium highlights the intense rooting and highly efficient exploration of the soil volume for final flower production.
Post-mortem Morphology: The bright coloration of the roots indicates a healthy environment up to the time of harvest without signs of root rot (e.g., from Pythium) – a crucial quality factor for the final product.
