* Thrives where CO<sub>2</sub> concentration is > 200ppm (cannabis specifically thrives in >400ppm CO<sub>2</sub>)
* Cannot survive in very hot environments
* Loses 97% of water via transpiration
 
Cannabis stands out from other plants for its tolerance to high light intensity. see [[Light#Ideal_light_conditions|Ideal light conditions]]
 
==Respiration==
InMost theplants darkare plantsconstantly respirerespiring insteadand ofcannabis is no photosynthesizingexception. In thisthe periodprocess theyof repiration plants uptake Oxygen and expel Carbon dioxide via Gas exchange.
 
== Transpiration ==
The cultivar constantly moves water around internally and releases water vapour into the environment through the stomata. The rate of transpiration is correlated to the light intensity the plant is being exposed to i.e. High light intensity equals high rate of transpiration. The rate of transpiration also indicates the rate of nutrient uptake. Cannabis loses 97% of water it absorbs via transpiration, this is a typical characteristic of a C3 plant.
