Is Twelve Hours Really the Optimum Photoperiod for Promoting Flowering in Indoor-Grown Cultivars of Cannabis sativa?

Ashleigh Ahrens et al.

Summary: Based on the experiment, the flowering period of indoor-grown cannabis can be initiated earlier by increasing the photoperiod, thus increasing the yield. However, when the photoperiod exceeds 14 hours, the development of flowers stagnates. Therefore, indoor cannabis growers should investigate the photoperiod responses of their cultivated varieties and determine the optimal photoperiod to increase yield.

Evaluation of Growth and Photosynthetic Rate of Cucumber Seedlings Affected by Far-Red Light Using a Semi-Open Chamber and Imaging System

Yu Hyun Moon et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that far-red light increases photosynthetic capacity, but there have been few studies on its effects on the whole canopy photosynthetic rate and morphology of cucumber seedlings. This study evaluated the effect of adding far-red light to conventional white LEDs on cucumber seedlings' gas exchange rate and used a Raspberry Pi-based imaging system to analyze continuous images. Results showed that far-red light promoted germination and early growth of cucumber seedlings, but did not affect shoot and root dry weight.

Too Dense or Not Too Dense: Higher Planting Density Reduces Cannabinoid Uniformity but Increases Yield/Area in Drug-Type Medical Cannabis

Nadav Danziger et al.

Summary: The spatial variability of cannabinoids in cannabis plants poses a major challenge for their use in modern medicine. This study found that plant density and architecture have an impact on the standardization of cannabinoids, with higher plant density leading to increased cannabinoid yield per cultivation area. The concentration of cannabinoids varied significantly in different locations of the plant, and manipulating light exposure and pruning branches can increase the standardization of cannabinoids.

Impacts of Different Light Spectra on CBD, CBDA and Terpene Concentrations in Relation to the Flower Positions of Different Cannabis Sativa L. Strains

Philipp Reichel et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that secondary metabolite concentrations in cannabis can be artificially manipulated by changing light spectrum, illuminant, and intensity. In addition, flower position may also have an impact on the medicinal potency and concentrations of secondary metabolites.

Blue and UV-B light synergistically induce anthocyanin accumulation by co-activating nitrate reductase gene expression in Anthocyanin fruit (Aft) tomato

M-J Kim et al.

Summary: The study showed that co-irradiation with blue and UV-B light is the most effective treatment for inducing anthocyanin biosynthesis in LA1996 fruits. By isolating the NR gene SlNIA through RNA-seq profiling and confirming its functions, it was concluded that NR plays a key role in blue + UV-B-mediated anthocyanin accumulation in LA1996 fruits.

Cannabis Inflorescence Yield and Cannabinoid Concentration Are Not Increased With Exposure to Short-Wavelength Ultraviolet-B Radiation

Victoria Rodriguez-Morrison et al.

Summary: The study showed that UV radiation has significant effects on the growth, yield, and secondary metabolite composition of cannabis. As UV exposure level increased, plant morphology and physiology symptoms intensified, while yield and secondary metabolite concentrations decreased. Using UV radiation as a production tool did not provide any commercially relevant benefits to cannabis yield or inflorescence secondary metabolite composition.

Identification of a New Family of Prenylated Volatile Sulfur Compounds in Cannabis Revealed by Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography

Iain W. H. Oswald et al.

Summary: Research has revealed that the unique odor of cannabis is caused by a new family of volatile sulfur compounds, which is different from the traditionally believed terpenoids. These compounds increase significantly in concentration during the plant's growth and peak during curing, before dropping rapidly after storage for just one week.

Cannabis Yield, Potency, and Leaf Photosynthesis Respond Differently to Increasing Light Levels in an Indoor Environment

Victoria Rodriguez-Morrison et al.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between light intensity and photosynthesis, inflorescence yield, and quality of cannabis grown indoors. The study found that leaf light response may not reliably predict whole-plant responses to light intensity, though dry inflorescence yield and apical inflorescence density increased linearly with increasing light intensity. Light response models can help commercial cannabis growers determine the optimal light intensity for production environment for the best economic return.

The importance of independent replication of treatments in plant science

Alistair Rogers et al.

Summary: The Journal of Experimental Botany aims to advance understanding of plant-environment interactions, which often involves manipulating the growth environment. However, the application of environmental manipulations can be constrained by available resources, operational costs, and time. Researchers strive to balance logistical challenges with the desire to address scientific questions and maximize statistical power when designing experiments.

Blue and Far-Red Light Affect Area and Number of Individual Leaves to Influence Vegetative Growth and Pigment Synthesis in Lettuce

Yuyao Kong et al.

Summary: Published work suggests that high percentage of blue light increases pigment levels but decreases growth, while addition of far-red light can enhance photosynthesis. Combining high-energy blue light with low-energy far-red light may promote both vegetative growth and pigment levels, however the specific impact on pigment synthesis remains unclear.

Summary: This study demonstrates that phosphorous significantly impacts the biosynthesis of cannabinoids, ionome, and plant functional physiology in medical drug-type cannabis plants. Phosphorous concentrations below 15 mg L-1 were insufficient for optimal plant function, while 30-90 mg L-1 P was within the optimal range for plant development and function.
