🚨Thirsty for Knowledge Thursday 🌱💡

This week, we’re spotlighting a groundbreaking study: “Harvesting Light: The Interrelation of Spectrum, Plant Density, Secondary Metabolites, and Cannabis sativa L. Yield.”

What’s the takeaway?
The study highlights how different red-to-far-red (R:FR) light ratios, plant density, and light distribution impact cannabis yields and secondary metabolite production.

🌟 Key Insights:
1️⃣ A lower R:FR ratio (AP67) boosted dry flower yields by 16%, especially in the last 10 days of flowering.

2️⃣ A higher R:FR ratio (Solray 385) enhanced terpene concentrations by 41%, driven primarily by increased monoterpene synthesis.

3️⃣ Photon conversion efficiency (PCE) was higher with the AP67 spectrum (0.06 g mol⁻¹ vs. 0.05 g mol⁻¹).

💡 For Cultivators:

Choose light sources not just for intensity but for spectral quality—lower R:FR boosts yields, while higher green light enhances terpenes. 🤯

Optimize other environmental factors, like CO₂, to maintain high photon conversion efficiency and avoid light stress.

The full practical breakdown of this study is exclusively available to CRC members in the member portal>Journals

Dive deeper into this and other actionable insights for your grow.

#MjBizCon2024 was 🔥🔥🔥

We kicked off with Associations Day, diving into meaningful conversations and connections.

From there, it was all action — starting with a meet & greet Q&A at the show to unveil our latest partnership and groundbreaking research study with @pipphorticulture.

Next stop?
@planet13stores for the @beardbrospharms & @future4200 “High Stakes Stage,” where we broke down the latest insights from the #ScienceOfSmokability study.

The night ended with fun at the @ccell All-in-One Party — celebrating innovation and 💨 for #science!

The week only got better as we met with our incredible partners and CRC members to map out 2025’s contract research projects.

Our founder, @dr.justice_grows, shared cutting-edge findings on #postharvest research and #sustainability, setting the stage for an impactful year ahead.

We’re heading into 2025 feeling inspired, focused, and ready to push the boundaries of #plantscience.

Thirsty for Knowledge Thursday 💦🧠🌱💡

Today, we’re diving into how photoperiod manipulation can take cannabis cultivation to the next level. 🌞🌙

This study tested two Type 1 cannabis varieties under 12-hour and 13-hour light cycles, aiming to increase yield by boosting the daily light integral (DLI). Here’s the breakdown:
•
Lighting Setup: LED lights delivering 540 µmol/m²/s at the canopy.
•
DLIs:
•
12-hour photoperiod = 23.8 mol/m²/day
•
13-hour photoperiod = 25.7 mol/m²/day

The results?
A significant yield increase under the 13-hour photoperiod:
•
Variety IM: 1.35x yield boost
•
Variety GG: 1.5x yield boost

What’s fascinating is that the DLI only increased by 4–6%, yet the yield gains were far greater. Plus, cannabinoid concentrations remained comparable—or even improved!

We also learned that the extended photoperiod impacted plant development:
•
Variety IM experienced a 1.5-day delay in flowering onset under the 13-hour cycle, which slowed stigma maturation.
•
Both varieties developed larger, more robust plants with the extended light cycle.

Want the full breakdown and implantation steps in your grow?
Exclusively for CRC members, the full journal, detailed analysis, and cultivator implementation steps are available in the CRC Member Forum under the Journals section.

Stay curious, stay informed, and I’ll see you next Thursday! 👩‍🔬

🧐Ever wondered how nutrient uptake changes in cannabis during the 🌱vegetative vs. reproductive phases??? 🤰🏼

This study dives into dynamic mineral uptake across three cannabis cultivars, uncovering key insights like:

🔍 Nutrient demand shifts dramatically in the reproductive phase.

🔍 Phosphorus & potassium uptake steadily increase, but calcium uptake declines—even as transpiration rates stay stable.

🔍 Practical takeaway: Fine-tune nutrient timing to maximize efficiency and cut production costs.

❓👨🏽‍🌾🙋🏻‍♀️Growers, we’d love your input:

Do you prioritize consumer preferences or focus on maximizing profits when you sell?

Our #ScienceofSmokability study found there was no significant difference in consumer preference between pre-rolls at 0.45 and 0.65 water activity (aW). The relationship between water activity and moisture content at a given temperature is called the moisture sorption isotherm.

From a previously created isotherm, we can correlate 0.45 and 0.65 water activity with a moisture content of 8% & 17%, respectively.

This difference equates to 9% weight loss, which means 9% less revenue per pound!

There was a slight increase in overall desirability at 0.45 aW as opposed to 0.65 aW, but it isn’t statistically significant—most people couldn’t tell the difference.

New Research Alert: @cannatrol Vaportrol®️ vs. Traditional Drying!

Our latest study at the CRC explores the cutting-edge Vaportrol®️ technology and its impact on trichome integrity and overall cannabis quality.

Trichomes, those delicate structures on cannabis flowers, are responsible for producing valuable secondary metabolites like terpenes and cannabinoids.

But how does the drying method affect their preservation?

Vaportrol®️ is a patented system that precisely controls humidity, airflow, and temperature during the drying process, helping to protect trichomes and minimize the loss of these essential compounds.

In our research, we compare Vaportrol®️ with traditional drying methods to understand how each impacts the quality, potency, and preservation of the cannabis plant.

Another happy #ValidationStudy client! 🎉

A big shoutout to @dr.justice_grows for her continued trust!

Need validation, #contractresearch, or #consulting services? We’ve got you covered! 🥦

Let’s be honest—no one wants to buy a product without verified, third-party testing to back up its claims.

[Take note] Always ask for independent third-party data to support any product claims. And no, a friend’s review doesn’t count—look for data from a reputable research team like the #CRC.

If they can’t provide that data, send them our way! We’ll ensure you get what you paid for.
