Characterizing the effect of short wavelengths on the floral flavonoid metabolome of medicinal cannabis using a comparative computational metabolomics workflow
Abstract Background Controlled-environment cultivation of medicinal cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) typically optimizes light condi-tions to enhance the biosynthesis of pharmaceutically important metabolites like cannabinoids. Such experimental strategiesmay also influence other specialized metabolites like terpenoids, [...]
Light intensity can be used to modify the growth and morphological characteristics of cannabis during the vegetative stage of indoor production
Abstract Although the vegetative stage of indoor cannabis (Cannabis sativa) production can be relatively short in duration, there is a high energy demand due to higher light intensities (LI) than the clonal propagation stage [...]
Light spectral quality alters glandular trichome architecture more strongly than cannabinoid accumulation in Cannabis sativa
Abstract The glandular trichomes in Cannabis sativa, found predominantly on female flowers, produce and store a variety of unique phytocannabinoids, increasingly studied for their use in medicinal applications. Maximizing yield and cannabinoid profiles requires [...]
The Impact of Planting Density and Vegetative Duration on Yield Optimization and Cannabinoid Stability in Medicinal Cannabis Under Controlled-Environment Cultivation
Abstract Optimizing plant density and vegetative growth duration is important for improving productivity in controlled-environment medicinal cannabis cultivation. Although both factors strongly influence canopy development and yield, their combined effects under modern high-intensity LED lighting, [...]
