The volatility of wholesale cannabis prices marked by large fluctuations and regional disparities highlight the inherent instability still present in the cannabis marketplace. Adapting to shrinking margins and increased competitions is putting pressure on operators, causing them to adopt cost-cutting technologies, expand into edibles and extracts, and secure long-term supply agreements. Understanding these evolving dynamics is essential for companies to adapt, compete, and thrive in the industry.

This article explores fundamental principles of photobiology, including Photosynthetically Active Radiation, photoreceptor-mediated responses, and the spectral influences on plant morphology and development.

Advancements in blockchain technology point toward an evolving landscape where transparency, security protocols, and regulatory compliance integrate into standard cannabis operations.

A look at how some cultivation methods are used to increase plant canopy penetrationfor indoor cannabis cultivation, increasing crop size while enhancing cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid production.

This article emphasizes anthocyanin production in cannabis cultivation, focusing on how cultivators can leverage environmental conditions and advanced lighting technologies to enhance plant health, aesthetic qualities, and phytochemical content.

In this article, we dive deeper into the physical, cellular, and molecular adaptions that plants demonstrate in response to light intensity and spectrum.

This article delves into the aspects of horticultural light intensity and spectra as well as their relative influence on cannabis photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis, and overall yield.

This article provides insights into the opportunities involving the genetic modification of cannabis.

A look at what epigenetics means, how other plant industries have used or studied them, and how that can be applied to cannabis to improve yields, plant genetics, and solve plant illness.
