Elevated root-zone P and nutrient concentration do not increase yield or cannabinoids in medical cannabis
Abstract Elevating nutrient input is thought to increase yield and cannabinoid concentration of medical cannabis, but increased legalization has heightened…
Elevated UV photon fluxes minimally affected cannabinoid concentration in a high-CBD cultivar
Abstract Ultraviolet photons (UV) can damage critical biochemical processes. Plants synthesize photo-protective pigments that absorb UV to minimize damage. Cannabinoids…
Sustainable Cannabis Nutrition: Elevated root-zone phosphorus significantly increases leachate P and does not improve yield or quality
Abstract Phosphorus (P) is an essential but often over-applied nutrient in agricultural systems. Because of its detrimental environmental effects, P…
Cannabis lighting: Decreasing blue photon fraction increases yield but efficacy is more important for cost effective production of cannabinoids
Abstract LED technology facilitates a range of spectral quality, which can be used to optimize photosynthesis, plant shape and secondary…
