Optimizing Indoor Hemp Cultivation Efficiency through Differential Day–Night Temperature Treatment
Abstract This study was conducted to determine the optimal temperature difference in day–night indoor cultivation conditions to enhance the flower yield and functional component contents of female hemp plants. Hemp clones were cultivated under [...]
Optimisation Of Indoor Cultivation Of Hemp Cannabis Sativa L. To Increase Flower And Cannabinoid Yield
Abstract The cannabis plant has been cultivated for decades, although the plant is considered an addictive substance in many countries around the world, both as a hemp and medicinal variety. Previously, commonly grown plants [...]
Cannabis yield and cannabinoid profile affected by plant nutrition and planting density
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. is widely cultivated for its medicinal and industrial uses, with increasing demand driving research on factors that influence cannabinoid yield and profile. This study examined the combined effects of individualized [...]
Vegetative and reproductive stage lighting interactions on flower yield, water use efficiency, terpenes, and cannabinoids of Cannabis sativa
Abstract Cannabis is among the most water-demanding crops, facing ongoing expansion and water use regulations. This study evaluated the effects of greenhouse sunlight plus increased LED supplemental lighting on flower yield, water use (WU), [...]

Ethylene sensitivity assay in medicinal and fiber-type Cannabis seedlings reveals a triple-response-like phenotype
Abstract This study examines the conservation of ethylene response mechanisms in cannabis seedlings, expanding on evidence of ethylene’s influence in mature plants, particularly sexual plasticity. Using hemp and drug-type seedlings, we observed a unique [...]
Detection of Mycotoxigenic Fungi and Residual Mycotoxins in Cannabis Buds Following Gamma Irradiation
Abstract Cannabis plants are susceptible to microbial contamination, including fungi capable of producing harmful mycotoxins. The presence of these toxins in cannabis products poses serious health risks, especially when used for medical purposes in [...]
Cannabis sativa genotypes with larger leaf areas have higher potential to adjust stomatal size and density in response to water deficit: The effect on stomatal conductance and physiological stomatal behaviour
Abstract Effective stomatal control is fundamental to successful plant responses to water deficit stress. Control of stomatal conductance (Gs) can be exerted through modification of stomatal morphology (size and density) in newly developing leaves, [...]
The Plant of Many Scents: Unraveling the Odorant Composition of Selected CBD Hemp Cultivars
Abstract This study presents the first comprehensive sensory-guided investigation into the odor-active compounds of dried hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) flowers. Using gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) in combination with aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA), 52 odor-active [...]
