Diniconazole Promotes the Yield of Female Hemp (Cannabis sativa) Inflorescence and Cannabinoids in a Vertical Farming System
Abstract Hemp (Cannabis sativa) has gained global attention since being legalized in the USA in 2018. The legalization of hemp is also underway in Korea; however, it requires facility cultivation and an agricultural technological [...]
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

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 [...]
Cannabis glandular trichomes alter morphology and metabolite content during flower maturation
Summary The cannabis leaf is iconic, but it is the flowers of cannabis that are consumed for the psychoactive and medicinal effects of their specialized metabolites. Cannabinoid metabolites, together with terpenes, are produced in [...]
