New Research on HLVd Decontamination in Cannabis Cultivation 🧪

Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd) is a $4 billion challenge in the cannabis industry, reducing biomass, flower quality, and overall yields.

Effective decontamination is essential to limiting its spread, yet the industry-standard disinfectants—10% bleach and 2% Virkon—can be harsh on plants, people, and equipment.

A new study by @vernebio systematically evaluated PRO-OXINE® Horticulture and found it achieved a 5-log (99.999%) reduction of HLVd in 10 minutes, matching the efficacy of a 20% bleach solution.

This breakthrough suggests PRO-OXINE® could be a safer, effective alternative for routine decontamination in cannabis cultivation.

🔬 Key Findings:
✅ Matches bleach in HLVd reduction effectiveness
✅ Potentially safer for workers, plants, and surfaces
✅ Lower concentrations may be more effective than higher ones

Further research is needed to validate real-world applications, but this study marks a promising step toward better HLVd management.

🚨 WE’RE GOING OPEN SOURCE! 🚨

This is BIG News from the Cannabis Research Coalition!!!

For years, CRC has been a membership-based organization, with industry support driving cutting-edge cannabis research.
But it’s time for a change.

Cultivators, home growers, and plant scientists—we’re here for you. Education, training, and technical growing expertise have never been more critical. As margins shrink and regulations tighten, growers must push the limits to stay ahead.

That’s why we’re committed to making research accessible to everyone—because without cultivators, there is no industry.

Our state-of-the-art Research Center is designed to drive innovation, but we need partners who believe in the future of cannabis.

We invite vendors and industry leaders to invest in unbiased, independent research that strengthens the entire industry.

We invite growers to join today—completely free, thanks to industry support!

New Research Alert! How Drying & Curing Impact Hemp Quality

Postharvest drying and curing are critical for hemp quality, cannabinoid retention, and microbial safety—but what’s the best approach? 🤔

A recent study from Cornell University explored three drying methods (hot air, ambient air, and freeze drying) and compared curing in glass jars vs. Mylar bags to determine the most effective strategies for hemp processors.

🔬 Key Findings:
✅ Hot air drying (75°C) is the fastest & best for microbial control.
✅ Freeze drying preserves cannabinoids & color but takes longer.
✅ Curing increases moisture balance without degrading cannabinoids.
✅ Glass jars outperform Mylar bags for long-term storage.

Bottom line?
Choosing the right postharvest methods ensures better quality, potency, and safety!

📽️ Step 1: Commission room for accuracy in achieving set points. ✅

Step 2: Begin Trial #1 of the @pipphorticulture Velocity Trial: Cannabis Airflow Research

In the Pipp Research Center, we’re collecting real-time data logging using @growlinkcontrollers sensors to test how airflow treatments impact plant health.

Grow room sensors include:
📌 Soil moisture, EC & Temperature
📌 CO₂ levels, temperature, humidity & VPD
📌 Air velocity with anemometers

Dry room sensors include:
📌 Precision drying with @growverazone
📌 CO₂ levels, temperature, humidity & VPD
📌 Air velocity with anemometers

🔬 Why Does This Matter?
Airflow is one of the biggest challenges in vertical cannabis farms.

Poor air velocity can:
❌ Alter gas diffusion & heat exchange within the plant canopy
❌ Reduce photosynthesis, transpiration, yield, and quality
❌ Increase susceptibility to pests & pathogens

🌱 Stay tuned for TRIAL #1 beginning in March!

📊 The Future of Indoor Cannabis Cultivation Starts with SCIENCE and replacing hearsay with #DATA.

Watch as we take cannabis #cultivation metrics to the extreme, ensuring higher #efficiency, #sustainability, and ROI.

🌱💡 Thirsty for Knowledge Thursday: Optimizing Temperature & Light for Maximum Yields! 💡🌱

Hot off the press! 🚀
This week, we’re diving into a groundbreaking study on the best temperature and light intensity combos for boosting medical cannabis yields and cannabinoid production.

Whether you’re a grower or a researcher, these insights are game-changing!

🔬 Key Findings:
✅ High temps (31°C/27°C) lowered cannabinoid yields, but terpenoids stayed stable.
✅ CBD-dominant strains lost 30% of dry matter at high temps, while THC-dominant strains showed resilience.
✅ Higher light intensity (up to 1200 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹) significantly boosted flower production.
✅ A 1% increase in Total Light Integral (TLI) led to 0.95% more flower mass for THC strains and 0.7% for CBD strains.

💡 What This Means for Growers:
🌡 25°C is the sweet spot for max cannabinoid yields.
💡 High light intensity (1200 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹) = bigger yields.
🌱 Genetics matter—strains react differently, so know your plants!

🌱💡 Thirsty for Knowledge Thursday: Optimizing Temperature & Light for Maximum Yields! 💡🌱

Hot off the press! 🚀
This week, we’re diving into a groundbreaking study on the best temperature and light intensity combos for boosting medical cannabis yields and cannabinoid production.

Whether you’re a grower or a researcher, these insights are game-changing!

🔬 Key Findings:
✅ High temps (31°C/27°C) lowered cannabinoid yields, but terpenoids stayed stable.
✅ CBD-dominant strains lost 30% of dry matter at high temps, while THC-dominant strains showed resilience.
✅ Higher light intensity (up to 1200 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹) significantly boosted flower production.
✅ A 1% increase in Total Light Integral (TLI) led to 0.95% more flower mass for THC strains and 0.7% for CBD strains.

💡 What This Means for Growers:
🌡 25°C is the sweet spot for max cannabinoid yields.
💡 High light intensity (1200 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹) = bigger yields.
🌱 Genetics matter—strains react differently, so know your plants!

📣Exciting Updates from The Research Center!

Our R&D rooms are coming together, and we’re dialing in every detail to ensure precise and reliable cannabis research! 🔬✨

@pipphorticulture has teamed up with the CRC!

These 4 state-of-the-art R&D growth chambers and a dry room are designed to control every aspect of the cultivation environment.

One room serves as a control, while the others test various #airflow treatments—shedding light on a critical but under-researched factor in indoor vertical cannabis #cultivation.

With over 4,500 vertical mobile racking installations, Pipp Horticulture understands that suboptimal airflow is one of the biggest challenges in the industry.

This groundbreaking research will help determine the ideal air velocities needed for optimal plant health and vigorous growth. And the best part?

Our findings will be shared publicly to advance the entire industry! 🚀

Thank you to all the brands involved in making this #research trial possible!

How Much Magnesium Does Cannabis Need?

This week, @shak_bad dove into the study “How Much Magnesium Does Cannabis Require for Optimal Growth and Function” by Dalit Morad and Nirit Bernstein (Volcani Center & Hebrew University of Jerusalem).

🔬 Key Findings:

🌟 Optimal Mg Range: 35–70 mg L⁻¹ for healthy vegetative growth.
⚠️ Deficiency: 2–20 mg L⁻¹ caused deficiencies.
⚠️ Toxicity: 140 mg L⁻¹ led to plant stress.
🍃 Leaf Performance: Young leaves thrived with more Mg, while older leaves naturally aged.

💡 Why It Matters:
Balancing Mg is crucial for optimal plant health, photosynthesis, and growth during this vital phase.

💦🧠🥦Thirsty for Knowledge Thursday: Can Red and White Light Boost Growth and #Terpenes?

This week, Shak dives into a groundbreaking study exploring the role of red and white light in optimizing growth and secondary metabolite accumulation in cannabis. 🌞💡

🔬 Practical Breakdown:
In controlled environments, light spectrum is a game-changer for plant growth.

The study examined four #LED light spectrums with a focus on one unique LED source that emits dual red peaks at 640 nm and 660 nm—precisely aligned with chlorophyll’s peak absorption for #photosynthesis.

✨ Key Findings:

The dual red peak spectrum (combined with white light) delivered the highest flower yields and boosted terpenoid concentrations.

Light intensity and spectrum had no effect on cannabinoid levels—but bleached flowers from higher light exposure showed elevated #CBD levels.

Green light plays a crucial role in preventing photobleaching by redistributing light deeper into the canopy. 🌿

💡 What It Means for #Growers:

Use dual red spectrum lights (640 & 660 nm) to boost yields but manage intensity to avoid photobleaching.

Incorporating green light can reduce stress and ensure more uniform #canopy growth.

🎥 Watch Shak’s video to learn how these insights can revolutionize your #grow strategy and maximize your secondary metabolite production.
