Soilless Growing Media for Cannabis Cultivation
Abstract Standardized pharmaceutical-grade cultivation of Cannabis sativa L. increasingly relies on soilless systems for precision, reproducibility, and regulatory compliance. This review examines the role of inert and semi-inert growing media in indoor cannabis production, [...]
Anthocyanin accumulation, inflorescence dry weight and total cannabidiol content have different temperature optima in Cannabis sativa
Abstract Background Limited information exists on how temperature affects phytocannabinoids and anthocyanin accumulation and inflorescence dry weight yield in Cannabis sativa. Understanding how temperature influences these traits is essential for refining cultivation practices, meeting [...]
Optimizing Growth Regulator Concentrations for Cannabis sativa L. Micropropagation
Abstract In this study, the effect of growth regulators on shoot proliferation and rooting were evaluated to develop an efficient micropropagation protocol for the Cannabis sativa L. cultivars ‘Cherry Soda’ and ‘Purple’. Apical meristems [...]
Response of Cannabis sativa L. to Inorganic Fertilization (N, P, K): Biomass, Nutrient Uptake and Cannabinoids Profile
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. is a high-value medicinal crop whose nutritional requirements and fertilization strategies remain poorly defined, particularly in relation to cannabinoid production. This study evaluated the effects of inorganic fertilization (N, P, [...]

Variability of total THC in greenhouse cultivated dried Cannabis
Abstract Natural variation in secondary metabolites is commonplace in organic matrices, including consumable fruits and vegetables. However, absolute concentration and variation of secondary metabolites are generally not of concern to consumers. Cannabis sativa and C. [...]
Understanding the role of oxylipins in Cannabis to enhance cannabinoid production
Abstract Phytocannabinoids are medically important specialized defense compounds that are sparsely distributed among plants, yet Cannabis sativa can synthesize unprecedented amounts of these compounds within highly specialized surface cell factories known as glandular trichomes. [...]
Exploring Aroma and Flavor Diversity in Cannabis sativa L.—A Review of Scientific Developments and Applications
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. exhibits a complex sensory profile governed by a diverse range of volatile and non-volatile compounds. Volatile constituents—such as terpenes, aldehydes, ketones, esters, and sulfur-containing compounds—together with non-volatile taste-active molecules including [...]
Determination of Optimal Harvest Time in Cannabis sativa L. Based upon Stigma Color Transition
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. is cultivated for therapeutic and recreational use. Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are primarily responsible for its psychoactive and medicinal effects. As the global cannabis industry continues to expand, [...]
