Claim 3:
4. A method of improving a bast fiber of a plant of and from the family Cannabaceae sensu stricto and species cannabis, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a plant of and from the family Cannabaceae sensu stricto and species cannabis having roots and a shoot;
providing a plant growing system configured for growing the plant having roots and a shoot, the plant growing system including a plant nutrient solution about and surrounding the plant roots having a temperature between thirty-five degrees and fifty-five degrees Fahrenheit and having air circulating about and surrounding the plant shoot having a temperature above seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit; thereby
providing and maintaining a shoot-to-root temperature differential of at least twenty degrees Fahrenheit to the plant continuously and throughout the entirety of the vegetative growth phase of the plant; and
the plant being harvested before the onset of the flora growth phase of the plant; whereby
the provided at least twenty degrees Fahrenheit shoot-to-root temperature differential causes reduced nutrient translocation by and within the plant resulting in significant and desired reduction in plant bast fiber internodal length.
